| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? @thecarpathian Thank you for the endorsement of Concrete Blond, while they are certainly not without merit they are not my cup of tea. In return I would suggest a listen to Old Crow Medicine Show if you haven't heard them already. | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? @mylogic Try and have a listen to Zevon, his humour is very dark, nothing like Monty Python. "Porcelain Monkey" is a song about the decline of Elvis. "Excitable Boy" is about a teenager that rapes and murders his prom date. There isn't one Zevon ... | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? @mylogic My Yes discography is primarily limited to everything before and including "Going For The One". There are a few rough diamonds after that but they lost their magic after Rick Wakeman's departure. Can you believe that Yes were paying 99... | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? @thecarpathian Apologies both great albums. | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? @immatthewj Well, I guess the Mods think Brucie is a knob too! He has been voted most despised artist on this thread! | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? @immatthewj Here's another few bones for you to chew on. I also like Yes, Frank Zappa and Cream. Clapton's later albums with the exceptions of Layla and Slowhand (hate Wonderful Tonight) are very, very mediocre, My favourite guitarist is Mick ... | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? Yes two great tracks, "Excitable Boy" is absolutely hilarious if you have a dark sense of humour. Check out "Carmelita" and "Mohamed's Radio" if you haven't already. | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? @thecarpathian Thank you. Zevon had a great sense of history with Roland and also Veracruz among others. His rendition of "Back in the High Life Again" completely outclasses Steve Winwood's version. One of my top 5 artists. | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? Hang on Sloopy is trash, just a payday same as Jeff Beck's Hi Ho Silver Lining. Warren Zevon, whom I highly admired, and still admire, took a payday with Werewolves of London but it was much better than the above two. However it turned off many p... | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? @zx10 Plus 1000 He's suffering from terminal cloth eared syndrome. Just read a bunch of this mmathew's posts. A negative Dim who doesn't seem to like anyone except Springsteen. Good grief. | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? @immatthewj I don't ask the Mods to delete posts. You and anyone else can say whatever you like about be. I am extremely right wing so I don't understand the Snowflake moniker. For some reason I've always called the Dire Straits album "Sultan's ... | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? @immatthewj Steely Dan. I don't know what possessed me to buy AJA on SACD from MD, but a total waste of $30. Homogenous. I don't like them any more now than I did about 50 years ago ... | |
| Rick Derringer R.I.P @tablejockey I bought the 45 in ’74 immediately upon release and that was the story in the music press at the time. About 20 years before the internet became commonplace. | |
| Rick Derringer R.I.P @tablejockey You are correct but "Ricky Don't Lose That Number" is about Derringer. Becker and Fagan went to meet him but couldn't convince him to team up with them at the time. | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? Yeah, draft dodging Brucie should have done a bit more research because Uncle Sam wasn't sending him to kill the yellow man because the Viet Cong were light brown to dark brown skinned (if they were working in the sun in the rice paddies).Lots of ... |
