It's good to know I'm not just talking to a wall here after all!
And, to be honest I was exaggerating slightly when I said that's the case for
every musical out there. Musical theatre still gets on my pecs in the main, but there are some good ones, like those that you mentioned. The Blues Brothers is one of my favourite films of all time, and for some reason I've always had a lot of time for Guys and Dolls, which is strange as it's those early-ish Hollywood musicals which irritate me the most.
Can't beat a bit of Gilbert and Sullivan either, who I guess you could technically say wrote musicals in the modern sense. Back when my Dad actually had two pennies to rub together, he'd take the family to the opera house as often as he could to go and watch some of their operettas. Call me Captain Obvious, but HMS Pinafore was always my favourite - I just love how it opened, like so;
Ah, nostalgia!
I'm gonna work on a couple more albums to talk crap about before the month's out by the way, so keep one eye on this thread eh.
