Thinking about it, there isn't a lot of disco stuff that I ever liked. Some of the Bee Gee's perhaps. The only stuff from the era I like would've been classified as funk. Also wondering, does anyone know what this would be classified as? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcU7ZlnJFPE

The Touring Is So Hard sentiment that so many bands sing and self-mythologize about isn't because Touring Is So Hard. It exists because the type of bands that tour are upper-middle class or people with financial support. The type of people raised with big clean n comfy beds, 3 square well prepared meals a day, clean laundry folded and handed to them, etc. So of course those types have a very difficult time sleeping on futons and floors, eating cheap unhealthy meals, being put to task at 5 or 10 or 15 hour clips, rubbing elbows with strangers in small cramped areas, being on constant lookout for people trying to break into your stuff and stealing from you. Touring Is So Hard is often just prissy, thin-skinned musicians having a very hard time stepping away from their privileged lives for two weeks.

But most “touring is hard” stories I’ve heard have to do with A) Studio introverts who like making music but not exactly playing it live. B) People who have legit families that they’re dragged away from for months at a time. C) One person in the band who parties way too much and derails poo poo for everyone else.

Shortly thereafter, they dropped the Muzak and I would just hear a local radio station playing over the intercom. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEd8l3EGfgA Hearing this takes me back to buying an Icee and a huge slice of pizza at the K Cafe for $1.50 and getting pizza grease all over the controller of the Super Nintendo player kiosk in electronics

Phlegmish posted:They had a few decent songs earlier in their career, I like Man In A Suitcase and Don't Stand So Close To Me Very accurate take. Having refreshed my memory, the first album is pretty solid, the second album is about half good, and everything post ‘79 is horrible. As a postscript, I was astounded to find out Sting wrote I Hung My Head. Johnny Cash transformed it into something listenable, the Sting version is just a formless mass of noodly bullshit.

I might have the most unpopular Radiohead opinion of all time - never heard of anyone else with this opinion, at least: they're mostly boring, but with a handful of pretty good songs. I just finished listening to The Bends for the first time (one of the few albums of theirs I hadn't heard yet) and, once again, the opener made me think the album would be a lot better than it actually was...

The MUSE / Radiohead beef is good because it plainly shows that having fun makes your music more enjoyable. Radiohead is audio misery, MUSE is clearly at least one person being a screaming eccentric having a blast.

Muse (at least after their first couple of albums) are super juvenile and derivative and basically like Queen without any charisma. Also yes TKOL is the best Radiohead album, fight me. Bloom is a 10/10 opener.

Everything Giorgio Moroder does is incredible. However, that is a clear objective truth and thus not relevant to this thread.

Anything they put out between 1994 and 1998 was pretty much gold though. I can't stand anything they've done in the last 20 years and I'm 100% sure it's because they stopped using Mike E Clark as a producer. What a stupid loving mistake.

You haven't lived until you've been to an Insane Clown Posse concert. Just make sure to put your cell phone in a ziplock bag because it will be destroyed from all the Faygo they splash around. This is no joke. I lost my phone this way.

Peanut Butter posted:Muse (at least after their first couple of albums) are super juvenile and derivative and basically like Queen without any charisma. Also my unpopular Radiohead take is that outside of "No Surprises" and "Fitter Happier" (the latter only when you're a young teen), "Ok Computer" is their second-worst album (the worst being Hail to the Thief). Karma Police and Paranoid Android are honestly insufferable, and the rest are still too close to The Bends in terms of being jangly UK rock but without the radio-friendly edge that made The Bends good tracks tolerable. Ok "Subterranean Homesick Alien" works but only just.

Muse is if a 14 year old kid’s political opinions became a band. At least the music was pretty great up until Black Holes and Revelations. Now they got nothing.

I discovered Muse unfortunately around the time of Black Holes and Revelations, and went back to enjoy most everything from their previous albums significantly more. And then The Resistance came out, and I was like, "these guys are parodying themselves," then I basically lost interest around about Drones. Tuned back in a bit later and they were aping the Synthwave trend. Ugh. How the mighty have fallen. Because for real, a lot of the tunes on Origins and Absolution (and gently caress it, BH&R too) were legit loving incredible riffs

Also any band that is successful long enough pretty much only has touring experience to write about, which is a third runner-up for "most overdone, insufferable concepts to write songs about." The first two being: "It's so hard being famous" (2nd place) and "I get high and gently caress and am rich" (1st)
