radiokills Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 In the Aeroplane Over the Sea sucks. well, it is a blasphemy thread. radiohead and wilco are the best bands in contemporary music, and are equally as good as the beatles and more are interesting than the rolling stones and pink floyd combined Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Doug C Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Further controversy!: I think it's bad enough that middle-class black kids are listening to this stuff, but at least they can squint and see how it might relate to their experience; when white kids listen to it, I can't help but feel they're contributing to the modern minstrelsy.Wow! It was worth slogging through 27 pages1 Well, 1 -7 and then backwards from 27. This thread degenerated like it was destined to the moment hardwood hit 'add reply'.But I digress. Minstrelsy is alive and well. It saddens me to see all of this stepandfetchit nonsense all over the place. Not that it is a scientific poll but the majority of older black people that I talk to about it are also saddened. My blasphemy statement? Bamboozled is criminally under-rated (is that hyphenated?). An excellent social commentary. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Doug C Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 hardwood, ha ha ha! Yeah, I couldn't remember what it says for new threads. An excellent thread but impossible for some people to keep from arguing because of said blasphemies! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DAngerer09 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 In the Aeroplane Over the Sea sucks. Indeed. I agree. Can't stand it except for a couple of songs. I don't get the big fuss over it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moe_Syzlak Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 "Maybe I'm Amazed" is the best song by a solo Beatle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
So Long Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 "Maybe I'm Amazed" is the best song by a solo Beatle. I thought this was common knowledge. Also, Imagine is a rip off of Let it Be. Watching the Wheels is a rip off of Imagine... and for music nerds...c'mon, they're all in C! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PopTodd Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 "It Don't Come Easy" is the best song by a solo Beatle. "Photograph" is the best song by a former Beatle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
quarter23cd Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 When people mention Bruce Springsteen, the mental image that comes to mind is Kirk Cameron and Alan Thicke going to a Springsteen concert in an episode of Growing Pains. I don't know how that bit of TV trivia got lodged in my head as a child, but I think it explains why I have always struggled to take his music seriously. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Heartbreak Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 You forgot a Neil Young album.Not a big Neil fanatic. I have Harvest, After the Goldrush & Everybody Knows This is Nowhere, but none of them would ever make my top 20. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

quarter23cd Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 any song over 4 minutes is just away of the musician(s) to wank off.30 minutes of musicians "wanking off" is frequently less boring than 3 minutes of "tasteful restraint" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
