Maybe they've just become so good at burying their resentment under a layer of friendly sarcasm that they manage to fool me? I can't think of a stingle member that has (much) of a stick up his arse.

What forum have you accidentally wandered into? We'll help guide you back...

Your favourite Henry Cow record is Legend right?

[vambo]

Actually it is Western Culture followed by the red cover/sock one.
Least favorite is the live record.

Fav. Fred Frith lp is Speechless.

So with you.
Western Culture is their best, not that the others are much worse.
Couldn't really tell whether I like speechless or gravity more. Both are as good as it gets.

I love what I love. Must take a listen to that Harvy Krone, was it, you submitted for the Great Discography Project?

Sure, it's all about having fun with the stuff.
You mean Höyry-Kone?
Didn't even remember submitting it.
Would be interesting to hear what you think for sure.

Solid choices, there's really no wrong answer.

Fav. Fred Frith lp is Speechless.

As far as solo stuff goes that's my favourite as well, but I think his overall best is Massacre's Killing Time.

Hey! I'm right here, all misanthropic and dorky and better than you, and you're gonna deny me what's mine by right of birth?

They wouldn't be quite as intolerable if they had another singer. That guy sounds like he's got a cactus permanently stuck in his underpants.

I mean, I guess. James LaBrie (or whichever one sings, I don't even care enough to look it up) is awful, but a better singer wouldn't make them any less dull, noodly, or tacky.

Doesn't liking Ke$ha and ICP unironically automatically make you the least pretentious person on the site? I think it probably does. I know that's sucks to admit for a cynical misanthrope.

Not less dull, but less nails-on-chalkboard awful.
