Speaking of badass rockers, not enough people in the world have discovered the utterly awesome Isobel Campobell and Mark Lanegan collaborations.

If I did a Twin Peaks movie, I’d use that album as the soundtrack, intact.

A moment of clarity, it appears.

[edit]

I absolutely love that song, though. I wouldn’t deny that he had moments of brilliance like this - just that the majority of his output was below par.

Oh, ghod. +10000 to this but to their credit they have a sense of humor about their music.

I remember reading an interview with them where they were upset that someone said they had 3 albums that all sound the same when in fact they actually had 7 albums that all sound the same.

Here’s one that will bring on the pitchforks. I find Kate Bush to be largely unlistenable.

ETA: I also find the Grateful Dead to be hugely overrated

I don’t get all the Nickelback hate.

I mean, yeah, they are basically the epitome of overly polished and soulless corporate rock, but they aren’t like objectively bad or anything. They are just kind of there. There’s obviously a lot of people that like their music since they manage to keep touring and selling records.

The whole “lol Nickleback sucks” meme just seems like a typical Internet circle jerk rather than anything substantive.

I’m a huge Beatles fan and think Let it Be (which also has TLaWR on it) is largely a terrible album (even the non-Spectorized re-release isn’t that great although it’s an improvement) but at that point they basically had imploded as a band and largely wanted nothing to do with each other.

I do feel strongly that they at least managed to end on a high note with Abbey Road.

Acdc is awesome. I never understood how awesome they were until I moved to Arizona and they were every other song on the radio.

Why no, Stockholm isn’t in Arizona, why do you ask?

If that doesn’t bring a smile to your face, you are dead inside.

Well, it’s bad enough having to worry about condensation in woodwinds, but adding creosote build-up in the chimneys is a bit much… :wink:

Steve’n’Seagulls are brilliant - not every cover is as good as this one, but they are good enough of the time that I love them.

Very well done (but I’m still glad I ain’t got purty lips… ;)).

Not the same AC/DC tune, but something really quite different…

Out of likes? How can that be!? My heart is filled with love.

Anyway … they own that song.

Who else. I am in love with that woman.

I really enjoy Joanna Newsom’s music.
