Seamus is just a 12 bar blues that isn't very creative, but doesn't bother me at all. San Tropez, however, is the absolute worst song in the band's entire catalog...yes worse than A Spanish Piece and Absolutely Curtains. Corny lyrics, weird lounge jazz music...epic fail. Even Walk With Me Sidney is a better song

That was the point. It was hidden several minutes after the album. It was never meant to be listened to as a part of the album proper. It's a B-side, just in the wrong location

Strangely these are my favorite songs on both albums, just because they break up the sameness of the rest of the albums

Unless you're a drummer all drum solos get old in about 30 seconds

Easy. It wasn't written by anyone in the BB, therefore it is inferior to the rest

Pet Sounds without Pet Sounds. It's a Beach Boys album, not a Wrecking Crew album

I think The Wall would make a great triple album. So much was left out or never fully developed

I love this song! This is the one song that I randomly play out of context of the album. It's also my Mom's ringtone

The Doors 1st album is soooo close to being a perfect album......but then there's 20th Century Fox.

I recently saw the Glenn Miller Orchestra. I strongly feel the original members are all dead

I think the title actually means "bands who are still active with no surviving original members"

Reply to Metallica, AC/DC, Ozzy Osbourne, Iron Maiden, Guns N' Roses, Tool bringing 'Power Trip' to California desert by DallasSF
They totally blew it with pairing up the bands. G 'n' R should be the same night as AC/DC. Maiden and Ozzy, and a 3 hour Metallica show. No Tool. Their music has little in common with any of these other bands, and they are horribly out of place. At least they should have their own night

Pretty much everything on MTV in the early 80s. Tainted Love, She Blinded Me With Science, Take On Me, Whip It, Beat It, Madonna's entire catalog....particularly the new wave stuff would have never made any money if not for the videos. Like West End Girls. Has anyone ever listened to the 1st Pet Shop Boys album? It sounds like a poorly made demo. Drum machine, synth bass, vocal, and one keyboard that either plays chords or melodic lines, but never both, and never any overdubs. Very sparse. Very cheap. Most of this new wave stuff was garbage, but it sold because of the video

Reply to Roger Waters for the Pink Floyd album 'The Wall' is the greatest vocal performance of all time by slowlyun
Waters' best vocal performance was on Pros & Cons. So good he couldn't ever do it again and used several pre-recorded vocals to pull it off live (The high parts of Go Fishing, Running Shoes, the middle 8 of Every Stranger's Eyes). He put so much into that performance he ruined his voice for the rest of his life. Ever since then he's pretty much talked albums

What do you consider NWA's first album? Because NWA and The Posse isn't their best album, but it's their first

The problem here is production. Ten was produced well, but PJ wants their albums to sound like they were made in a garage, thus making everything else unlistenable

Reply to Lyrics or the music? by meganelizabethjade
Y'know, it really depends on the music. If it's something that tells a story or has a point to make (Pink Floyd, Rage Against the Machine, SoaD, etc.) then I pay attention. But if it's just a rock singer singing about chicks, cars, drugs, how proficient he is with his cock, or how much his band rocks, then no I listen to the music. I've been singing along with AC/DC for 30 years and I don't even know half the words. I just make sounds similar to what I hear (hey not my fault Brian Johnson was totally unable to be understood in an era when you couldn't look up the lyrics online).

If you want heartfelt listen to the Wall. If you want heartfelt and skilled vocals listen to The Final Cut. If you want sheer over the top vocal gymnastics listen to Pros & Cons
