I worked in a grocery store when I was younger and was subjected to a lot of bad piped in music...but this was one of the few songs that would actually make me cringe. It's just completely awful.

Re: Heston and Marky's Friday Top 5
Retail work is a great opportunity to build up a supply of songs that will generate a homicidal rage. I worked as a janitor at a mall in high school and that wretched "I Just Called To Say I Love You" was always on. It went from irritant to pure bile.WestwayKid wrote: ↑11 Jan 2019, 12:38pmI worked in a grocery store when I was younger and was subjected to a lot of bad piped in music...but this was one of the few songs that would actually make me cringe.

Re: Heston and Marky's Friday Top 5
Actually, it's "Chain of Fools."
I played that song, which is in the key of "C" and which features the C chord -- and nothing but the C chord -- throughout, in a performance in November.
Lovely tune.
Maybe Train in Vain, eh?
Or, one of my newly found favorites, "This Train" -- which I also played, and sang a verse to -- in the November performance.
Sadly, no video of this performance exists ...

Re: Heston and Marky's Friday Top 5
I wonder how Heston will try and defend this one..."It is a brilliant treatise on the post modern feminist movement. Sheena rejects the notion that to be a feminist, you have to work outside the home. Yes, she supports her man, but she also burns her bra. It's subversive!"WestwayKid wrote: ↑11 Jan 2019, 12:38pmI worked in a grocery store when I was younger and was subjected to a lot of bad piped in music...but this was one of the few songs that would actually make me cringe.

Eh, it's basically the same song as Money Changes Everything. It was clear that Marr was winding down his days of talent while Morrissey was about to rocket through the stratosphere.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑10 Jan 2019, 7:01pmSolid tune.

Re: Heston and Marky's Friday Top 5
I will only try and defend it by saying it's a good tune. Wasn't it called "Morning Train" in the States? I think it was because Dolly Parton had a song called 9 to 5. Can people in America not absorb the fact that two different songs might have the same name?JennyB wrote: ↑11 Jan 2019, 2:08pmI wonder how Heston will try and defend this one..."It is a brilliant treatise on the post modern feminist movement.

Re: Heston and Marky's Friday Top 5
Also, not to denigrate the music of the band, but I'm not sure they would have really been that cool without Morrissey. The song structures are all quite simple, with one section coming right after the next in a line. The parts themselves are cool, but there's not much in the way of interesting or interlocking transitions—they're all just a bunch of parts strung together. It was Morrissey's phrasing and penchant for using the verse as a chorus and vice-versa that made them a great band.

Re: Heston and Marky's Friday Top 5
But if you're an executive in an industry where 90% of the product fails to turn a profit, you're being dumb by not doing what you can to make your record stand out. The only question any record exec ever asks is, "How do we market this?" All subsequent questions and strategies flow from there.

Re: Heston and Marky's Friday Top 5
Oh, sure, I was being semi-tongue-in-cheek. Morrissey's lyrics, voice, and persona allowed them to stand out amongst the crowd. Even with a more conventional singer, the band would have been really good—Marr was filthy with pop hooks—but the history of rock is littered with talented groups that never got sufficient notice.Kory wrote: ↑11 Jan 2019, 2:29pmAlso, not to denigrate the music of the band, but I'm not sure they would have really been that cool without Morrissey.

Re: Heston and Marky's Friday Top 5
Isn't the history of popular music mostly full of songs which are "a bunch of parts strung together?" The Bohemian Rhaosodies of this world are the usually the exception rather than the rule.Kory wrote: ↑11 Jan 2019, 2:29pmAlso, not to denigrate the music of the band, but I'm not sure they would have really been that cool without Morrissey.

Re: Heston and Marky's Friday Top 5
I'm trying to remember back to when I was 12-13 years old and first got into The Smiths. I think I was really drawn in by Morrissey's lyrics, voice, and persona.
