MoonBassAlpha Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 [quote name='Paul S' timestamp='1484736370' post='3217860'] I dislike Frank Zappa. Far too smart and tuneless for my taste. I happen to be in a 4 piece band with 3 Zappa fans who constantly quote lines from Zappa songs. Usually the same f%^&ing ones, every f*&^ing week. I believe there is a small possibility they do it on purpose [/quote] If I was in your band, I'd do that to you too, if I knew it would get on your wick Quote
julesb Posted January 18, 2017 Author Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) [quote name='Burrito' timestamp='1484736547' post='3217865'] I am another one for Nevermind by Nirvana. I'm sure it's an age thing as kids in the years below me at school loved grunge but I hated it all. Makes me wonder what critically panned albums we all love.... [/quote] Production on nevermind is dodgy. In Utero is streets ahead. I love Mingus by Joni Mitchell which never gets great reviews (always ** or ***) when it should be ****** (this might be controversial😃) Edited January 18, 2017 by julesb Quote
miles'tone Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 I once launched Tal Wilkenfeld's debut album out of the window of a truck I was driving. It was technically amazing but said absolutely nothing. Heard it all before. It's hopefully still there, embedded in an embankment on the M4. Quote
kodiakblair Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 I don't think I've ever agreed with so many opinions on BC before Quote
lowdown Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 [quote name='julesb' timestamp='1484741830' post='3217945'] I love Mingus by Joni Mitchell[/quote] Just been listening to that this morning. Wonderful stuff with great playing all round. Jaco on top form. Quote
Paul S Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 [quote name='JellyKnees' timestamp='1484739801' post='3217912'] You dislike Zappa because he was [i]too smart???[/i] You must be loving the current geopolitical shenanigans in that case... [/quote] [quote name='MoonBassAlpha' timestamp='1484741324' post='3217938'] If I was in your band, I'd do that to you too, if I knew it would get on your wick [/quote] That's another thing about Zappa fans, they are just sooo militant....

spectoremg Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 [quote name='casapete' timestamp='1484705365' post='3217714'] Donald Fagen, The Nightfly. Think I'm the only muso ever who doesn't like this. Those irritating 'clever' songs played so perfectly with no soul/feel. Liked early Steely Dan stuff, but then it all ended up sounding like this. [/quote]While we're on it, Steely Dan - Aja - one piece of lift music blending into the next. Quote
spectoremg Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 [quote name='Yank' timestamp='1484732603' post='3217807'] Hejira by Joni Mitchell. I can't stand her voice and that faux hipster poetry. I understand intellectually how revolutionary Jaco's playing was, but it does nothing for me. There! I've insulted two "icons" and feel no remorse. [/quote]Can you post something you think is good so I can gauge your musical philistine-ness? Quote
spectoremg Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Ok I'm gonna say it - he's been dead long enough now... Ace of Spades. Forty-ish minutes of melody-free garbage. Quote
yorks5stringer Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 [quote name='julesb' timestamp='1484687725' post='3217590'] I'll start with Trout Mask Replica... [/quote] Surely that's 'Carp' and not 'Crap'? Quote
yorks5stringer Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Anything by the Eagles after 'On the Border' Quote
TrevorR Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Never ever, ever got The Doors or The Velvet Underground. I find most Radiohead totally "meh!" and would probably have quite liked The Smiths if it wasn't for Morrissey. The one that annoys me that I don't enjoy is Grand Prix by Teenage Fanclub. On paper all the elements say I should love it but I've never connected with it. Quote

Froggy Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) [quote name='spectoremg' timestamp='1484758125' post='3218191'] Ok I'm gonna say it - he's been dead long enough now... Ace of Spades. Forty-ish minutes of melody-free garbage. [/quote] Even Lemmy grew to hate that song, although more because he got bored of playing it. Personally I enjoy it, but I think motorhead have a lot of better songs. Thing is, ace of spades fit the demographic perfectly, Lemmy's brand of high speed (and high, speeding) rock n roll played as loud as the amps could go. I agree with most of the posts on here though. I can't stand the smiths, never got that whole music to slit your wrists to vibe. Edited January 18, 2017 by Froggy Quote
uk_lefty Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Every Kasabian album. Seriously, one ok single and they're hailed as "rock gods"??? My @rse! Quote
spectoremg Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Anything by Elbow. Overrated doesn't begin to describe it. Quote

No lust in Jazz Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 I've never understood the significance of what a critic may think of anything, I just like what I like. Quote
