| Why so many angry audiophiles? @celtic66 ,"Has anyone here clearly and profoundly won a toxic argument whereby the opposing party simply acquiesced, admitted fault and gave thanks for pointing out their complete lack of understanding and pillock-like nature?"Me neither. Althoug... | |
| Phil Spector, dead God bless Phil Spector. A troubled but wonderfully brilliant life.Here’s a great Spector quote from 1996.“It became apparent that the people around Ms Dion were more interested in controlling the project, and the people who recorded her, than in m... | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? @roxy54 ,You can’t really expect Beefheart to make much by way of literal sense.I once gave the infamous Trout Mask Replica a spin - what an ordeal that turned out to be!Sad to say, I never really had much luck with his good friend Zappa either. T... | |
| Perfect Pop Songs @woofman74,"Also, any song from 1967."Could not agree more.Any UK or US chart in any week of that year had more than its fair share of great pop songs. A few obvious examples The Association Windy (live)https://youtu.be/F_asDtq__d8Procul Harum’s t... | |

| Perfect Pop Songs @reubent ,Freedy Johnston - "Bad Reputation" is one cool record. Great video too.@glupson,Victims is most certainly a pop song. It has to be by the fact that it topped the UK charts for several weeks around the winter of 1983/4. I can remember wat... |
