Cyron posted:Also on the subject of both side are dumb, my favorite thing is when republicans and democrats declare about moving to Canada after every election. mostly for republicans since Canada is more liberal then the US. This actually makes sense after you've talked to a few republicans. In the words of one of my coworkers, "Yeah I agree with those policies but they only work because there are a lot less blacks and spics in Norway."

For me, leftism at its most tiresome and irritating tends to be George Galloway's borderline anti-Semitism or all the National Union of Students, "We will condemn UKIP and Israel, but condemning ISIS would be Islamophobic," stuff.

American liberal extemists tend to be extreme in things like the environment, health and social issues. Conservative extremists want to deny rights to certain groups, bomb abortion clinics and murder doctors to "save lIves." (These are caricatures and do not represent the majority of either group. Just how they tend to be portrayed.) One comes across as ridiculously hypocritical and overall mostly harmless. The other comes across as scary.

That's how the caricatures seem but the former still leads to stupid harmful things like California falling behind Iowa and fricking Texas in renewable energy. edit: American liberals almost always have good goals but ridiculously stupid and inefficient ways to get there.

Anyways I was reading brad's updates on the linkara movie, I don't know how the filming was like in the films channel awesome made but it sounds like a mush better project in organizing. granted there is less out of town guest stars then say the CA films and you didn't have shity filming evoraments like running though a desert, next to a highway and a hot and closafobic attic so I assume it a bit better in that regards. it seem like they get more day offs this time.

Yeah, they're also really easy to paint as hypocrites in a lot of cases. My point was that those issues are easier comedy targets than a lot of extremist conservatism's items of note.

I kinda wish he'd done 1990, because then he could have talked about Jive Bunny. Yes, Jive Bunny made the top 100 in 1990. I already knew about that Timmy T song, but mainly because it was on Bennett The Sage's worst number ones list a couple of years ago.

Since I don't give Todd money yet, I went and looked at the year end chart for 91'. I feel sorry for anyone who's old enough to remember that. So loving worthless. Edit: Oh never mind, '90 is worse. At least 91' has 5 songs I actually listen to. Celery Face fucked around with this message at 07:59 on Apr 23, 2015 |

I actually somehow knew almost all the songs on that list, even though I was only 5 back in '91. Also listening to that Timmy T song outside of the video, the gently caress is with the drums? They really clash with the rest of the song, badly. I also feel like I've heard them somewhere else.

Testekill posted:I've come to the conclusion of gently caress adult contemporary. What a loving boring genre and gently caress Bryan Adams especially if he really did threaten Allmusic. If you listen to the album that "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You" is actually on, it's basically a lost Def Leppard album. Obviously, that's because Mutt Lange produced it, but although I can't cite any exact examples off the top of my head, but there's a few songs on that which may as well be pastiches of songs from Hysteria (before they took all his information down, AllMusic drew a direct comparison between "All I Want Is You" and "Pour Some Sugar On Me" but it's been that long since I listened to either song, I couldn't tell you for sure if it fits). Man, I was mad keen on the album Reckless for a while a couple of years ago, when I was going through a bit of an eighties rock phase (which I am now thankfully outgrown; I could post at considerable length on this matter but I doubt anyone's interested; suffice to say that my resulting alienation from music - the breakdown of my ability to conenct with music - actually managed to prompt something of a small identity crisis for me; it was an awkward phase in retrospect). Overall, Bryan Adams is mostly fine if you a) already enjoy AOR and melodic rock along the lines of Foreigner, Journey, Loverboy, Def Leppard and Bon Jovi; and b) ignore the Robin Hood song, but avoid the album 18 Till I Die, which has a song called "(I Wanna Be) Your Underwear" (seriously). P.S. I think the website Hit Parader listed Bryan Adams on its list of the best ever heavy metal vocalists. Fred Durst was also on the list. Yeah.

Todd's list is up for all. A strong list, though considering how often he's talked about Nirvana shaking music to it's core I was hoping for him to show how someone crappy got knocked off of their pedestal by Nevermind. At any rate, well worth a watch.

Much is made of the fact that Nevermind knocked Dangerous by Michael Jackson off the top of the Billboard 200 in 1992, and while that was a massive achivement, it's less-frequently noted that Nirvana were themselves replaced at number one by Garth Brooks, who stayed there for five times as long, and went on to have a second, seven-week number-one album later on in the same year. The year Nevermind went to number one, Billboard's year-end number one album was Some Gave All by Billy Ray Cyrus, and Def Leppard had a five-week number one album with Adrenalize, as did Michael Bolton with his terrible covers album.

I go with the kinda cynical view that Alternative as a genre happened and hit it big because the Billboard hot 100 switching over to Soundscan at the end of 1991 caught the big companies with their pants down. Bands like Nirvana managed to sneak into visibility on the new rankings enough to snowball and get big. It didn't take long for the bigs to figure out how to profit off the Alternative genre and game Soundscan again, letting them top the charts with mass-market safe music and simultaneously sell Alternative music to the kids disaffected by said safe music as well.

Seems like a reasonable analysis. It's unfortunate that they didn't do likewise with mp3 downloading as well. If they'd tried to monetise the model rather than crush it and cling to the existing system, perhaps the music industry would be in a stronger position today; by the time the iTunes store emerged to offer a viable legal alternative, the pirates had a good five-plus year head start on them and they've struggled to make up the difference.
