Neal Schon of Journey. Although it was he who reeled himself in for the almighty dollar.

Keith Moon was better than the rest of the group....

He'd already done that band, made his mark, and that was that.


Morrissey has achieved more success going solo than he did with The Smiths.

This is another example of argumentum ad populum.

Meat Loaf sells more records than Morrisey.

He has? In what terms -- record sales? Cuz, um, he's released, what, 3 times as many albums as the Smiths, and has been doing the solo thing for, what, 25 years, compared to the Smiths, which was around for like 4.

Yeah, he's sooooooo successful, considering he still gets nothing but people screaming for Smiths songs at his concerts, to which he obliges, playing THERE IS A LIGHT, HAND IN GLOVE, and probably a few more at every show he's ever done.

Morrissey would be nothing, a nobody, without Johnny Marr's band The Smiths.

Jonny Greenwood is a genius.. and so is Thom Yorke/Radiohead
people don't like 'em for other reasons, hype-related & such.

I think Syd Barret was better than Pink Floyd
huh

atsonicpark 05.12.2010 07:47 PM

I dunno, I will politely disagree with Thom being a "genius"; I don't like to use that word often anyway, but Thom's lone solo album is really, really, really bad, imo, even worse than In Rainbows. I'd venture to say that Thom might be the least talented member in that band.

Neil Haggerty in Pussy Galore

sure... and I bet your shit don't stink either.

atsonicpark 05.12.2010 07:58 PM

Eh?

I don't like his voice. I like the music. I don't like his solo album. I think, stripped from Johnny Greenwood's interesting contributions, it shows he's just some electronic nerd with a somewhat interesting-if-annoying voice.

Just not a fan of him, sorry.

atsonicpark 05.12.2010 07:59 PM

Another one. I like Deerhoof just fine, but I think Greg is about a billion times better than the rest of the band.

i think he's a great songwriter..and i think his solo album is good (bit boring though and i like bodysong better) .. and i think in rainbows is awesome.. :P
but of course you can disagree..there's nothing wrong about that.

wtf is wrong with his voice? His song writing skills are amazing.

atsonicpark 05.13.2010 03:03 AM

What is wrong with it? I'm not sure. I've been trying to figure that one out! I'm not a fan of that whiney shit. I can tolerate Kid A and Amnesiac, though, mainly cuz his singing is left to a minimum, or ran through a filter. Maybe his skills are amaizng -- I wouldn't know, aren't all the songs contributed to the band as a whole? How do you guys know who wrote what part?
