Mountain Ash Band. Never could get into Argent and Allman Brothers? Meh.

This is a dark day, a very dark day

It's a very bright day that a band with less than 70 last.fm listeners is beating all these bands who are all at least 100 to 100,000 times bigger than them.

I absolutely see no appeal in him to be honest.

Do you want a Mountain Ash Band up?

{gasp}

Blasphemer!

That's what everyone says. Doesn't hold my attention at all and i can't stand his later voice at all.

fair enough, some voices you just find personally annoying I find (fanatically acclaimed by 60's whores or not ;)), i'm sure there's already been a thread on them. As for the MOR 60's chamber pop element it's an acquired taste probably

I would be shocked if everyone knew who Scott Walker was, we'll change that :thumb:

As for the voice arguement, Bob Dylan's voice in his later work is not as good as it was in his prime, no reason to shun Bob Dylan is it? Age has that effect on the throat, its unavoidable unless you're Tom Jones.

The list of people who share my view and who have been influenced by Walker is in itself a good indication of what regard Walker is held. People like David Bowie, Richard Hawley, Johnny Marr, Echo and The Bunnymen and Thom Yorke.

I find the dismissal of Scott Walker mildly annoying, as Scott 1, 2, 3 and 4 are immense albums, with biting lyrics, beautiful arrangements and well crafted tracks. Not only that but his work with the Walker Brother's is epic too.

Its a travesty that he's not making the second round, a result which will result in me spending a good few hours this week sitting in a darkened room just rocking back and forth, while listening to "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore", whilst at the same time toying with the idea of just smearing twiglet crumbs into my eyes.

I'd be surprised if he didn't go through as well to be honest, obviously no-one in the outside world i've met know who he is but i think internet wise i'm the only person i know who has listened and hasn't liked.

I'll admit he beats the Allman Brothers. There you go.
