He hasn't been around long enough to know that the Smiths and Tom Waits are the most raved about artists on this forum I would assume. Big Black is semi-understandable, seeing as I've never really heard of him before this forum.

What I'm saying is, you're in the majority on this forum.

I'm just one of the few here that thinks otherwise.

I love Barrett era Floyd, but as a songwriter, he's seriously overrated on this forum, I have Madcap Laughs and it's good. But I don't think Barrett comes close to being the songwriting genius a lot of people here make him out to be. I certainly consider Waters and Gilmour better songwriters.

IMO 1971-79 is the their highpoint. I know it's also the height of their commercial sucess, but that's not what I mean, DSOTM is still my favorite album of theirs, followed by WYWH and Meddle, and the very underrated Obscured by Clouds.

Boo Boo, let me show you the break down of how this all happens, and then maybe you'll see why you get far too worked up in the eyes of everyone else.

You write a thesis on how Barret era floyd is over rated.

I make a tounge-in-cheek response agreeing with you.

You act like I've written a thesis, or intended to but I was just too stupid.

Then you agree with my third, and really only seriosuly made point, in my list and then go on to draw some phantom conclusions about what my stupid one-liner several posts back really means.

For someone who decries authoritarianism, you certainly conduct business like big brother.

You imgained I said Waits and White are infallible.

You imagined I decried an entire discography by citing one song.

And then you create a counter-argument to an arguement YOU CREATED.

Sometimes its just best to let a sleeping dog lie.

Ok, sorry. I was being stupid there, I just recall things you said before and assumed that's what you meant. I'm sorry.

Frank Zappa: Yes, you already said it, he is god
The Clash: Yes, helped define the punk genre
Bob Dylan: Absol****ingyes, his music calms the mind and the soul and is wonderful to listen to. He is also one of the few real classic guys who i enjoy listening to over and over again
Pink Floyd: Yes, I don't think that really needs explaining
Big Black: eh, I like big black a lot, but i wouldn't really but them in the hall of fame
Tom Waits: Another big yes, I love everything about him
The Smiths: Sure, very different.
Chuck Berry: No, I don't really care about chuck berry at all.

the lack of interest in this, this time around is rather astonishing.

Roemilca · 04-21-2009, 06:22 PM

Frank Zappa: Yes, genius, one of my favorite artists of all time.
The Clash: Yes, they're classic, you can't say no to british punk rock!
Bob Dylan: Yes, definitely.
Pink Floyd: Seeing as they're one of my most played on last.fm, and I'm a fan, do you even have to see the word yes in this post? Good, because I just posted it.
Big Black: No, only because I've never heard them.
Tom Waits: No, never heard him/them either.
The Smiths: Yes. Just because.
Chuck Berry: No, because one way or anything he's going to find his way into the next round.

Frank Zappa: Yes.
The Clash: Yes.
Bob Dylan: YES.
Pink Floyd: Yes.
Big Black: No.
Tom Waits: Yes.
The Smiths: Yes.
Chuck Berry: Nah.

I'm surprised by all the no votes for Chuck Berry.

He sure as hell gets my vote, as do Bob Dylan and The Clash.

Do I really need to explain why? C'mon, it's Chuck Berry, The Clash, and Bob Mother****ing Dylan. 'Nuff said.
