EL the Famous Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 eddie vedder is not a singer, let alone a good one. also, nirvana is the most overrated band of all time. they are no better than the candleboxes and sponges that came in their wake. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scribex6 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Urban Hymns is the best album by the Verve. The Replacements drunken antics detracted from their talent. Otis Redding's version of "Respect" is preferable to Aretha Franklin's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Urban Hymns is the best album by the Verve.They made others? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Atticus Finch Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Bonny Tyler's "Total Eclispe of the Heart" might singlehandedly be the best song of all time. Why else would it be the only song in my head for the last 6(that's right six) months. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
airtaco Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 In honor of the new record, which sounds like it could be badass: Though not as culturally imporant, Elvis Costello is a better all-around songwrtiter than Bob Dylan. Elvis Costello is the only elderstatesmen still putting out legimately very good/great music--the stones, dylan, the who, mccartney, etc. are getting rave reviews because of their past work/nostalgia.

I am going to disagree. Modern Dylan is awesome sauce. Time Out of Mind-"Love & Theft"-Modern Times is Dylan's best trifecta since Bringing It All Back Home-Highway 61 Revisited-Blonde On Blonde Then again it probably isn't so heretical to say that.

So Long Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Bob Dylan only gets good reviews because of nostalgia. He's retreated into the blues because his voice has turned to shit. Death Cab For Cutie has good music, but the most annoying front man in recent memory...therefore ruining the entire band I like The Eagles. I miss pre-AGIB Wilco. Jimi Hendrix is a horrible songwriter. Elvis Costello is better than Bob Dylan. Wilco is better than Bob Dylan. Bruce Springsteen is better than Bob Dylan. The National is good. Radiohead's amazing, but greatly overrated. Thom Yorke is an odd duck. Paul McCartney > John Lennon About 50% of Ryan Adam's music is absolute shit. Bono is cool. Johnny Cash never wrote a good song. Nels, Pat, and Mikael could have never joined Wilco...and I would be okay with that. Warren Zevon's an amazing songwriter...but I always think he's better than he is... Jay Farar is gross.

bobbob1313 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" is one of the greatest songs ever. Maybe the best chorus of all time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Synthesizer Patel Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 They made others? yeah, haven't you ever heard A Northern Soul? actually, it's pretty good - unlike Urban Hymns. this isn't a massive one, i think most people think it anyway, but James Taylor is terrible (he did one good song - Little David, on One Man Dog, and he didn't even write that!)

bobbob1313 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I have an emotional attachment to Taylor's music that makes me incapable of saying bad things about him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bobbob1313 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Well, he's an artist I rarely listen to, but my late uncle was a big fan and he introduced me to him and I spent a lot of time when I was younger listening to his records with him, so they have a lot of emotion attached to them that I can't get away from.

Time Out of Mind-"Love & Theft"-Modern Times is Dylan's best trifecta since Bringing It All Back Home-Highway 61 Revisited-Blonde On Blonde While by no means bad, they are all mostly blues songs and in a way charlie patton tribute records. There is no way they deserve the 5 star raves rs gives them. Perhaps 3 1/2 stars, but not, imo, by any means excellent or even very good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dagwave Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 The first album I ever bought was Sgt. Peppers. The Soundtrack. You know, the one from the movie featuring the BeeGees, Peter Frampton, and umm, George Burns covering "Fixing a Hole." There, I said it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
