Rocker Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Sergent Pepper.......... dross by The Beatles. Yet every radio show that 'compiles' a list of the best or most influential albums of all time name this at or close to number 1. Makes me wonder if they ever get out these days.....

Count Bassy Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 [quote name='mikel' timestamp='1484772992' post='3218389'] Nah. Meatloaf has an awful voice, strained and tuneless. Bonnie Tyler would have done those songs so much better. [/quote] I think Meatloaf had a great voice for those songs at the time. Bonnie Tyler had a great voice for her songs, but I couldn't see it in many Meatloaf/Jim Steinman songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJTee Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Not sure if it's critically acclaimed, but Oasis's (What's the Story) Morning Glory is in my book, to paraphrase Harold Steptoe, 'morally, spiritually and physically a festering fly-blown heap of accumulated [musical] filth.'

[/quote] You may not like it, or indeed get it, that's not important, but to say it wasn't one of the most influential albums of all time is just wrong. It was and still is. IMO its not there best album, but I cant deny it was there most influential. Edited January 20, 2017 by mikel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barking Spiders Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Gotta second and third the first two Oasis albums. Very simple songs + dull vocals + barely competent playing = the formula for finding massive chart success in Britain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I've got to admit that having posted that last post I heard "Total Eclipse of the Heart" on the radio and I did think (without knowing who'd written it) "Actually that could easily be a Meatloaf song" I still think that Meatloaf had a good voice for the songs, obviously not a classic 'good voice' but very suitable for the songs in the same way that Joe Cocker or Tom Waits (or indeed Bonnie Tyler) could be said to have good voices. (still loving that "Twat" gets through the filter) Edited January 20, 2017 by Count Bassy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorks5stringer Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 'Musical Icons' by 'Sacred Cow' is one of my least favorite albums by the band. From the whiny vocals by Red Merlot, tuneless guitar from Paul Jackson and drums by Roger Ludwig it is a tuneless dirge all the way through. One slight saving grace is the Bass by Leo Gibson.

kodiakblair Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I'd really love to chip in but I've never read any of the music press in probably 30 year so no idea who's critically acclaimed but crap. Plenty I think are crap but that's not the point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
