What Are you Listening to Right Now?

[Marky Dread]

I know it's supposed to be OK (or at least ironic) to not hate 80s metal but I still do. Sure I love early Motley Crue (who were a Sweet cover band in practice if not theory) and a few crossover bands but time has not made those albums seem nostalgic to me. I hate them more than ever and I hate what that shit did to the genre and to the culture.

Agreed. I didn't like it much the first time around, and the crass sexism, racism, and materialism is only more glaring now.

Yeah but KISS unmasked.

Yeah, KISS seemed to be the prototype, but even worse. Tuneless, hookless, grooveless. All that effort and money for so little of any lasting value. KISS at least had a few catchy singles.

Formulaic and unintentionally lacking humour.

Bruce Springsteen - 'Born to Run' (1975)
Haven't listened to the album in its entirety for a couple years as I have so much live stuff, outtakes, etc. But, boy, what catharsis this album is: a day in the life; hiding on the backstreets. And forced to confess...

I'm wondering if Frankie Goes To Hollywood could have improved the whole album.

Be honest: would you find it any more interesting? It'd be a different kind of dull. The very rare times I play Welcome To The Pleasuredome, all I pick are the title song, "Relax," and "Two Tribes." The latter two are still pretty cool, but FGTH was mostly pretty crap but had good marketing (kinda like Brooooos).

Only if you dig bloodless, sexless, soulless, whiny no-accounts wrecking good music.

I was just twisting Muppet's melon but yeah, that was a patchy album. Hardly had enough for a single, never mind a double. I did like their Broooce cover though.

Nah, I think BtR is a great song but I think FGTH gave it the zip it needed. Bruce is just over-emoting and it drags a bit.

[Wolter]

I never thought I’d be in the Bruce camp, but I like his version much more.

I found Tonio K at my local Half-Priced books.

That's his trademark isn't it?

Yeah, but I thought you all loved him. Or am i mixing Matey and Muppet up with everyone on the board?

Yeah and sometimes James.

I grew up in the NY/NJ area and really am not a fan in the least. I did a challenge that someone put up and I think I gave a few positive comments but I generally dont like his delivery.

There'd better be a crab juice option.
