Never got all the fuss about her tbh the fact you had Absolute on (presumably by choice) is the worrying part here 🤣 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted April 8 Author Share Posted April 8 Blue Monday - New Order Never before, or since, have a band built their reputation as "musical geniuses" on a single piece of music before churning out a careers worth of bland, forgettable dross.

Also anybody claiming that Hooky was a great bassist needs an intervention... You don't have to like it but it remains an era defining piece. Although I sort of prefer 586 in some ways. Of course there is also the body of work of Joy Division to consider in context. And fwiw - yes he is. (Not the Revenge stuff obvs. Or Freebass. 🤣) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also anybody claiming that Hooky was a great bassist needs an intervention... Not sure anyone ever called them geniuses but their output sure is patchy ranging from some sublime tunes, mainly within the few years after Ian Curtis' death, to as you say forgettable dross thereafter. Peter Hook came out with some catchy and recognisable bass lines which is what his rep is based on. I'd say he's an effective bassist rather than a great one, though maybe being effective is a more important quality than being a great technical player in a Vic Wooten stylee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This song could be good for drunken teenagers who would want to dance a lot, at someones birthday party. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basso navo Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 A good friend of mine always (and I mean: always) hums "Summertime" to soothe themselves. It only stops when one engages them in a conversation, which keeps me babbling, which in turn makes me feel very uncomfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Jefferson airplaine -white rabbit When I used to listen to planet Rock , it always happened to be on . For some reason, whichever presenter played it they never told us who iit was I was hearing . Honestly , it is dated crap . Depressing is an understatement . Morrissey has the enthusiasm of a children's entertainer compared to this drivel . One depressing monotonous tone. She does shout randomly in places , but I can honestly say it was the worst song ever played on planet Rock. I don't miss hearing it .. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
