Rocker Posted January 19, 2017 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..... Quote
Count Bassy Posted January 19, 2017 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

dmccombe7 Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 Anything by "boy bands" or "girl bands" for that matter and to make sure i don't get pulled up for being sexist. Dave Quote

addictedtobass Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 Two words. Tubular Bells ! what a load of self indugent toss Quote
JJTee Posted January 20, 2017 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
jonunders Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 Adele.If you are not depressed before listening to her you will be afterwards.Also ABBA. Every nerve in my body goes into spasm within the first three notes Quote
dazza14 Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 Sgt. Peppers, Pet Sounds and Nevermind, I struggle to find anything enjoyable about these albums. Quote

[/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
CamdenRob Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 Anything by Oasis, Radiohead or The Smiths... among others... Quote

Barking Spiders Posted January 20, 2017 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

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

yorks5stringer Posted January 20, 2017 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. Quote
fiatcoupe432 Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 [quote name='eddiehoffmann' timestamp='1484689186' post='3217604'] Anything by Radiohead. [/quote] Really? I m not a radiohead fun but I think that they actuay a great band , amazing basskines on in Rainbows Quote

fiatcoupe432 Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 All 2015/16 music ... Starting from main crap like The 1975 Royal blood Wolf alice Adele And all new "r&b" stuff Quote
Roland Rock Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 This has just descended into a stuff you don't like thread Quote

DiMarco Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 Anything by Michael Jackson. When he's on the radio that thing gets switched off in 0.037 seconds. Quote
kodiakblair Posted January 20, 2017 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
