JessieOK Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I really, really WANT to love the entire Grace album by the late, great Jeff Buckley. But I can't. Hallelujah is on my top 5 of all time favorite songs but I just can't get into the rest of the album. This makes me feel musically inadequate Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SeattleC Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 No love for Hallelujah? Leonard Cohen's version is awesome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shakespeare In The Alley Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Give me Cohen singing Hallelujah over any other version out there. It's his song, and he sings it best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brianjeremy Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 No love for Hallelujah? Nope. Prefer John Cale's version above them all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This makes me feel musically inadequate Hallelujah is the only song on that album I can listen to, and I don't feel inadequate at all. ETA: well, not musically, anyway.

sgtpepper64 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I know I'm a late party attender, but who gives a shit? 1. I CANNOT STAND RADIOHEAD. I think Thom Yorke is a whiny stuck up little boy, with a gigantic ego problem. 2. I just don't get Led Zeppelin. What is the appeal? 3. Freddie's voice is incredible, but Queen is vastly overplayed. 3.5. Nirvana just plain sucks. Stop whining and grow up, Kurt. 4. I hate these band names like "We Were Promised Jetpacks" and all this other pointless bullshit that end up on Hype Machine. Come to think of it, I hate that people get their music from something called "Hype Machine". The more obscure the band name, the most I go in with an instant prejudice against the music. And that's not good 'cause momma said prejudice is wrong. 5. I really cannot stand the line "Take off your band-aid, 'cause I don't believe in touch downs" and despite loving every single piece of material Jeff Tweedy has ever written from his poetry book to Loose Fur, I can't help but cringe when I hear that line.

Radiohead is ok. i've never understood how people just go apeshit over their music. Kid A (the song) is their peak, in my opinion. 2. Led Zeppelin at this point in history is a total beating. not their fault they are overplayed, though. 3. NO! 3.5 YES! 4. no opinion. who cares? they might be a genuinely good band. kinda like vampire weekend...i feel like i should hate them, but that shit is catchy. 5. never bothered my that much. the rest of the song is too good to let two lines affect me much. Nope. Prefer John Cale's version above them all. yes! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jokin' dealer Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 join the clubI'd like an application to the "I don't dig 'Grace' club". I've tried. It does nothing for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PopTodd Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 The only reason the producers ofSyd Barrett - The Madcap Laughsleft in the false starts on that record is for a cruel "let's laugh at the crazy guy" effect.Fucking makes me sick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
barbkm Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I agree with every one who stated that Quadrophenia is better than Tommy, but my favorite Who album is Who By Numbers John Lennon was an amazingly talented man who had true insight and took music in a new direction, but was probably a dick. If I was going to have beer with a Beatle, it'd be George. REM's Leaving NY is probably one of their best songs -- I like it more than Losing My Religion and Man in the Moon. Accelerate kicks ass, and I will fight anyone to the death in its defense. Around the Sun is a sup bar album, but kicked ass live. REM still kicks ass, and I will fight to the death anyone who disagrees. I don't like Cold Play, although I'm sure not alone in that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bjorn_skurj Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Hating Coldplay is not blasphemy, it is righteousness. Sadly, we must make a date for our death-battle, as I prefer to think R.E.M. stopped making albums after "Automatic." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hardwood floor Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 i think accelerate is the biggest piece of fraud in pop music history it's REM product it was like, "Hey, we can't write a good song anymore, so let's make a record that SOUNDS like when we were good, maybe people will start buying our records again." it sounds like old-school REM but without any of the depth REM was once the best band on the planet REM is now the worst band on the planet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
