i got to see lou reed live once. it was a rainy day at a music festival in atlanta.

 

there was no one there.

 

it was fucking surreal. i walked right up to the edge of the stage and just plopped my ass in the grass and listened for an hour.

 

heroin is still, for me, the most visceral piece of music i've ever encountered. i've never done the drug. i'm not that experienced. but i totally get the mindset of wanting to obliterate reality and he captures it perfectly in both word and music.

 

give bowie another shot. he's very hit or miss but that's in part because he's so experimental. if you don't like one of his phases, wait for it. he probably dabbled in something you will like.

 

for example:

Kanye West has had more consistently great albums than the Beach Boys, Skynard, The Eagles, Aerosmith, The Doors, or any of the dreck Eric Clapton has pumped out.

 

Hip Hop went to shit exactly this year thanks to all this mopey trap shit.

 

The Who is garbage compared to The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, and Oasis.

 

Kiss is also garbage, and would've faded into the obscurity they deserved if they didn't put their faces on air fresheners, beer coolers, condoms, and caskets.

 

Bohemian Rhapsody isn't a song that works well with anything other than a Queen album. If you're listening to the original album or a greatest hits, the song feels right at home. If you're going to mix the song in with other 70's buttrock, it's a jarring and unpleasant transition.

 

My Sharona should've been a criminal offense, and should give everyone the same level of disgust as Nickelbacks music, the Christmas Shoes, and It's Everyday Bro.

The best thing AC/DC ever did was get its ass kicked by a JoJo.

heroin is amaze. their s/t is just as good as tvu+n if you exclude heroin.

i love life on mars, and liked what little i listened to hunky dory sometime ago.

i didn't really like station to station and heroes was underwhelming somewhat.

Redeemer of Souls is the best Judas Priest album not from the 70s.

 

Comments about others' choices:

 

I never thought Jennifer Lawrence was hot when all I saw of her work was The Hunger Games. That changed when I saw Silver Linings Playbook.

 

I really liked Friends while it was still airing new eps, but it aged really, really badly.

 

The only good things about Gurren Lagann were Yoko's boobs and her skimpy outfits.

I mean their 70's stuff had some songs I liked but I think their albums from the 80's are where they really defined themselves. 

 

I think every album they've made since Halford's return to the band has been amazing (Nostradamus aside, didn't hate it but it wasn't anything special.)  Honestly for me Angel of Retribution, Painkiller, or Redeemer of Souls could take that crown.

Sad Wings of Destiny is seriously one of the greatest heavy metal albums of all time. Rocka Rolla and Sin After Sin are both great too.

 

I've never really ban much of a fan of Priest post Hell Bent For Leather. But I recently got Redeemer of Souls and it's a really strong album.

 

I thought you were one of two other ASMBers who really liked Sin After Sin (the other was TsumeBlue).

I didn't like Persona 4 very much. It had some high points, not enough to merit the praise.

 

The characters were pretty shallow, there was an awful lot of bad comedy, and the story was disappointingly formulaic. It only surprised me a couple times and even when it was for the better, it frequently did things with the surprises that bogged them down.

 

Also, one-note evil for the sake of being evil villains are super lame. This applies to especially strongly to the final villain.

 

Both of them.

 

 

Basically the story and characters were flat and the gameplay wasn't terribly engaging.

 

So.... ::]::

they're my favorite band, but Diamonds and Rust is really the only song from that album I like.  Which speaking of that song I don't know if you've seen any of their recent live performances ('05 forward) they slowed it down and I don't like it.

In Rainbows is the best Radiohead album.

If you don't like tomatoes, there is absolutely something wrong with you, or you have never had a good one.

There is nothing wrong with putting ketchup on a hot dog.

The Democratic party is just as corrupt and shiftless as the Republican party. (side note, I hate them all, vote for me as Emperor in 2020)

Boards of Canada is better than your favorite band.

I don't get the hot dog snobbery. It's a tube made from discarded inedible animal parts. "Waah, the sweetness of ketchup kills the flavor! [insert Dirty Harry quote]" Yeah, you're not getting rid of the integrity of the lip/dick/entrail meat that slipped in there by adding ketchup. It's not a steak, there is no integrity or flavor you want to preserve from hot dog meat. And the same people that say this put a crapton of ingredients to mask the flavor already. What difference does a single strip of ketchup make when you're dumping mountains of relish, tomato slices, and pickle wedges on there?

 

Or the people that say their pizza is the only way to make a REAL pizza when its all a bastardized form of Italian pizzas.

Citizen Kane is a shit movie. shoegaze and sub pop are better than any genre you listen to. 1987-1994 was the epitome of music only recently starting to lift due to the resurgence of shoegaze

 

not sure about shit movie, but Kane is definitely overrated.

 

with you all the way on shoegaze though.
