Hot Take/ Musical Confession Thread!

[Joe Mac]

A Beatles fan that doesn't like Lennon's solowork? Never met one of those! . Is there even an opposing opinion to ATMP being the best

I do quite like the acoustic compilation that came out about 15 years ago...

I’m sure there are people who have one, not me though. As far as I’m concerned the only one that comes close is Band on the Run.

I don’t like PJ, I find them waaaaay too over earnest.

I can see people thinking their a bit open, but they seem to be able to make songs about serious issues that aren't cringey as hell like alot of other bands (SUBLIME)

Apart from band I find McCartneys solo output very lacking

There are good songs dotted here and there but it Ram and Flowers In The Dirt are the only ones that hold up as albums for me. He did, for the most part, become a major cringe “cool dad” from the 80s too which is a shame!

I like music that I enjoy. That’s my primary yardstick. Beyond that anything extra is a bonus.

And there is nothing enjoyable about that genre in that era. Not a single band worth a damn out of the lot of them. At least hair metal, grunge, etc... had at least one band or album that's worth a damn.

Well yeah but then sublime are shit on so many levels that you’ve just scored into an open goal!

In your opinion. Not in mine. I don’t think there is a great band in there but there is a lot that I find enjoyable.

But I'm focusing on a specific point. They wanted to have some songs that were "real" and spoke openly about heavy issues and they all come across very sophomoric and cringey.

I mean..... duh?

Isnt that this entire thread?

Sure is!

You guys just made me listen to ATMP. George Harrison really was the most under rated of the Beatles.

The third guy in ZZ Top needs to have an absurd beard like the other two dudes. He can't be a non-beard guy.

Nope. Instead they’re just preachy and boring.

Ironically his last name is Beard

This thread is pure evil.

How?

Yep. Particularly when you hear that those were nearly all songs he’d written for the Beatles but that weren’t considered for inclusion...

Pearl Jam is grunge? Nirvana isnt? Isn't punk with alt rock styling the definition of grunge? Also, @Joe Mac check out Mudhoney.

 

[Joe Mac]

How?

It just is. I’m addicted to it because I know it’s toxic...

Yes for their first two albums anyway. Not in my opinion. No, Nirvana was the only "grunge" act to use a solid punk foundation. Soundgarden and Alice In Chains being examples of notable grunge acts that were pretty distant from punk sonically

I remember this song. God it sucks.
