Disco Stu 15,495 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Today marks exactly 60 years since Paul McCartney and John Lennon first performed on stage together (as The Quarrymen). Lennon was 17, McCartney was 15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think Decca counts as a milestone although it was certainly a necessary stumble to get them on a different path. 4 minutes ago, Stefancos said: The Stones were better anyways.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 A new Weezer album came out today. I was so repulsed by the pre-release singles, I’m not even going to listen to it . Really a shame after i loved their last two albums. What about you, @Jay? You planning on giving it a shot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightscape94 965 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 I'm pretty sure I haven't heard any Weezer since the Red Album (a friend was still a fan during that time and I only heard it through him), and haven't bought one since the Green Album, and haven't legitimately loved a song since "Death and Destruction". They've completely fallen off my radar. Since my curiosity was inflated, I looked up "Weekend Woman" and thought it was actually pretty decent.

We heard their newest single driving around in the car on XM over the weekend. It was pretty bad, but not as bad as that atrocious "feels like summer" single I SUPPOSE I'll check out the album because why not, but I'm starting to really believe they only have two great albums (blue and Pinkerton) and have just been nothing but a sine wave of good and bad songs ever since with no other completely strong album (though the red album is actually really good all the way through, the only exception to the rule) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,336 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I'd say Blue Album - brilliant album all the way through Pinkerton - brilliant album all the way through Green Album - great singles, completely boring and/or forgettable songs otherwise Maladroit - great singles, completely boring and/or forgettable songs otherwise Make Believe - great singles, completely boring and/or forgettable songs otherwise Red Album - great album all the way through, though adding "King" to the main album in place of "The Angle and the One" would have made it even better Raditude - great singles, completely boring and/or forgettable songs otherwise Hurley - great singles, completely boring and/or forgettable songs otherwise Everything Will Be Alright in the End - "Back to the Shack" is a good song I enjoy very much, don't remember anything else about this album even though I've probably listened to it at least twice White Album - Don't remember what any single sounds like, I think i listened to the album once and it did nothing for me Pacific Daydream - Both singles are bad, haven't heard the album yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 It is a fact commonly acknowledged that Blue/Pinkerton is the only thing all Weezer fans agree on In other "90s Rock Legacy Artists" news, the new Beck album is very boring. But I haven't liked a Beck album in 12 years. He's had a few alright singles in that time period though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,336 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 When it comes to Beck albums, I love Odelay, Midnight Vultures, and Guero, and then just a handful of singles otherwise (Loser, Beercan, Deadweight, Nausea, Cellphone's Dead, Think I'm in Love, Timebomb, Chemtrails, Gamma Ray...)

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 So you're more into his "ADD genre collage" albums. I love those three as well, but my favorites are Mutations and Sea Change. So you'd think I'd have loved Morning Phase, the 2014 sequelish to Sea Change but it made me fall asleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bespin 8,480 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Available on Spotify. I don't like when they take the voice track of deceased artists and they paste symphonic music to it. They did it with my Roy. For some songs, it's more "natural" than others, because Roy often used string sections in his original recordings... but I'm not sure about the principle. Anyway, if it can help him to be discovered by a new public, that's the only thing that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 So this band Greta Van Fleet is apparently getting very popular. There have been a lot of retro rock bands over the past 30 years, some great ones even. Bands that specifically want to sound like the 1970s. The Killers, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Black Mountain, The Black Crowes, why so many with 'Black' in the band name? But these bands have generally taken influence from a large number of classic hard rock bands and synthesized them with something resembling an original voice. Greta Van Fleet's got only Led Zeppelin. It's very clear that they specifically want to sound like JUST LED ZEPPELIN. They should call themselves Led Zeppelin 2. The singer sounds like he should just be a Robert Plant tribute act. It's eerie and I don't like it actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Speaking of Led Zeppelin (see my post above), today is the 46th anniversary of the release of Led Zeppelin IV/Untitled/Zoso/Four Symbols/Whatever the Hell You Wanna Call it When I was 13 (when this classic album was only 29 years old) I was obsessed with "The Battle of Evermore" especially.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I dunno. It's amazing, but it's not my favorite LZ record. I always skip "Four Sticks." I bet I've listened to that one all the way through less than 5 times in the past 5 years. The low point that holds it back from being perfect front-to-back in my eyes.

Jay 37,336 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Yea, I agree with Disco Stu; Four Sticks is easily the worst song on the album. Years ago when I was filling up my first iPod with songs, not full albums, I put every song from Untitled on there except Four Sticks. I think the only album where every song made it was Tom Petty's Greatest Hits. Oh, maybe American Idiot too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Yeah 'III' is just the most consistently awesome for me.

Jay 37,336 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Oh, I really dislike how when their 8 new songs were too long for a standard LP, they grabbed outtakes from prior albums and cobbled together a 2LP set. I'd prefer if they just made the album 7 songs and released the 8th as a bside, and the older songs remained vaulted until deluxe editions of the albums they were intended for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
