The Mighty Musical Observations Thread

[Marky Dread]

It's so predictable there's zero meaningful content there. Yeah, a few surprising picks, but generally a tired old round-up of the classic rock canon.

These lists are so boring and a total waste of space.

Yup...and even worse when coming from a terrible publication like Rolling Stone...

Is it not Classic Rock magazine? Or is that part of Rolling Stone?

I was a bit confused by this too when I first read the original post, as I wasn’t sure whether the Rolling Stones had released 50 albums

Must admit to thinking the same. Which probably would've been a better thread.

Rolling Stone's worst top 50 album list

I like a fair amount but so much crap.

My bad...yes...it is Classic Rock magazine.

Talking to new coworker about music the other day. Things were going well. Then he mentions Alanis Morrisette then it was akward silence followed by me trying unsuccessfully to get the conversation back on track.

Haven’t looked and not going to as I have decided I don’t care what other people like or what other people think of what I like.

I'm a known Floyd apologist, but Dark Side at #1 is a major yikes from me, fam

Might not make anybody's number one. But it's better than a lot of shit on that list.

It makes my #1! My #1 least favorite album of all time!

Oh, I feel your pain. I have a coworker who started a few months ago. She seemed really cool at the time, but then she mentioned that she and her husband both love Barenaked Ladies. Interestingly enough, as the months have gone by, I have started liking her less and less. Is there a study about the connection between terrible Canadian music and annoying personalities?

Doc? I have your new project. Publish or perish, my friend.

(I'm guessing, anyway.)

There is no way I would immerse myself in shitty music just to get an article or book from it. I'm always mystified by the horrible crap people will specialize in just to stand out. I met someone whose diss was on the Canadian west coast fisheries during World War II. Can you imagine spending seven years or so of your life living that? A dull topic and, really, pretty damned marginal. Dream small and boring, kids, and the kingdom will be yours.

Yeah, that's...specific. And no, i cannot imagine that. But I am also super lazy, so I can't even imagine spending seven years on anything.

Oh I'm certain you can find much worse than Pink Floyd said Phil.

Nope. Believe it or not, I really hate that album more than any. And I hate a lot of albums.

So my son just came across one of those top 100 artists of all time lists. You should have heard him, "How is Katy Perry better than James Brown?!" ...etc. I naturally was the voice of reason and said all those lists are garbage and if you want to get angry keep looking at it otherwise ignore it.

You should take that young man for ice cream on account of his respect for the timeless James Brown.

Tell him about home James Brown saved Boston. It’s an under noted event worthy of celebration.

Ice cream is tough to find this time of year, unless you go to a Ben and Jerry's store.

I remember reading about this incident, I think you might told me about it originally.

Pet project of mine if I get around to writing a screenplay. The best character is the twenty something Barney Frank who acted as the liaison between Mayor White’s camp and James Brown’s camp. There’s also a bit about Brown receiving a briefcase full of cash on the tarmac at Logan to agree to play.
