Not for me. Then again I don't love Queen. (Clearly)

Unpopular opinion? The doors were ****, and Jim Morrison was completely up his own backside, out the other side and back round for another go at licking his own taint.
Unrelatedly - Not since Yngwie Malmsteen managed to inspire a legion of metronome precise bach robots despite being a massive hendrix head, has any musician managed to inspire more poor imitators than Johnny Marr. Now don't get me wrong, Johnny Marr is a fine musician who knows what he's capable of and doesn't try to be anything he isn't, but he is, at the end of the day, a good songwriter with average/slightly above average guitar ability. His fans, and the legions of musicians who imitate his every stylistic trait, are so, so, so very missing the ****ing point, and they somehow reduce a relatively humble and certainly very talented man...into a pop culture caricature.

If I don't like a particular band or artist, I usually don't visit the thread, let alone make a negative comment. Of course, unless it's Bruce Springsteen.
I personally don't take anything all that serious concerning the internet and music forms, or what have you. It doesnt affect my mood either way. The internet is definitely something I won't lose any sleep over. Unless I'm up all night surfing the web. I liked your reply in the Beatles vs The Beach Boys thread. I get the impression you know what you're talking about when it comes to the music you like to listen to. I hope you enjoy your stay here at MB, welcome to the forums. |

When I was a waiter in Hartford, Connecticut about 12 years ago Dee Snider-- who, since his career with Twisted Sister, had become a famous radio talk show host in the area-- hosted his radio show's Christmas party in the restaurant I was working in. I begged the waiter who was working Dee's party to let me bring a piece of cake to him and thankfully, he let me. I went down to the private room where his party was being held, walked up to him with piece of chocolate cake in hand and basically told him that when I was 13, the day after I bought Stay Hungry (on cassette), I got grounded from my boombox for 2 weeks for bringing home a bad report card, and that that event was largely the reason why I was the messed up individual that I am. I then handed him the cake as a token gesture of gratitude and walked away. As I was walking away he stood up, pointed at me and shouted, "that's ****ing COOL, man!" It was definitely an awesome moment.

I can't stand music fans that focus solely on the past and act as if that's the era when all the good music was produced.
Basically, they all sound a little like this: "The Beatles/Zeppelin/Queen/Stones, etc are the best bands in the world and how dare you like anything anything I don't like, which is anything modern?" |
