And annoying everyone around you? Zeppelin is fine, but I've never been a big fan. I don't know, maybe because it wasn't proggy enough. It also wasn't as straightforward as Creedence. Somewhere in-between, which is an area of rock I've never really grabbed on to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 I think my most controversial pop music take: Jimi Hendrix was a mediocre songwriter and shallow performer whose music is unjustifiably venerated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,508 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 It had completely passed me by that David Gilmour released a single earlier this year ("Yes, I Have Ghosts"), featuring his daughter Romany on harp and vocals. It's his first original song since the RATTLE THAT LOCK album 5 years ago. But I've been aware of where the song comes from, i.e. the audio book adaptation of A THEATER FOR DREAMERS by his wife Polly Samson. In addition to this quite lovely song, he also wrote a score for the audio book -- I'd certainly love to hear that at some point (although I'm not really interested in listening to an audio book; I need the music separately).

It's not bad, and its certainly better than a home cover of TIME STAND STILL, which I heard, this afternoon. I like the Rush references (that darn dragon; the rotisserie chickens) and it's played well, if a tad too fast. Not a bad effort. Jay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jurassic Shark 12,079 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 It comes with all the 43 songs that were deemed unsatisfactory for the original release.

Thor 7,508 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Ah, Prince. I grew up with the guy's music all around me, but beyond the hits, I never explored his work much. It didn't really appeal to me at the time. I don't think I've listened to the whole SIGN O' THE TIMES album even once, for example. But I'm older and wiser now, so perhaps time to re-evaluate. Not with this rerelease, though, which seems like overkill. But the original album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 This song very randomly came into head this morning.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 It's a great song! The album is a classic rainy day listen for me. "Major Leagues" is a fantastic song too. I bet @Jay would enjoy these two songs, I consider Pavement to be sort of at least in the same general ballpark as 90s Weezer. Sort of Beck meets Weezer in sound.

Jay 37,369 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Interesting! I never heard of Pavement in the 90s - maybe New England radio stations just didn't play them - but discovered them once I got XM and began listening to Lucy. The song from them I know is "Cut Your Hair", which I like and have been meaning to check out more of their work. I'll check these 2 out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to gravitate toward their last 2 albums (Brighten the Corners, Terror Twilight) which were significantly mellower and bit more folk-rock oriented than the earlier more raucous albums (like "Cut Your Hair" which is no doubt a really fun song).

It took about 10 years to truly get under my skin, but get under it, it did! Now I think that it's their greatest achievement. Lush melodies, and sparse arrangements add up to an intoxicating package. Oh, yeah...and BEING BORING, quite simply their greatest song (*) (with the possible exception of KING'S CROSS, and IT'S ALRIGHT - INTROSPECTIVE version ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
