"The life pursuit" and "Dear catastrophe waitress" are not only the best albums by Belle & Sebastian, but their only good ones. People who laud them (are crazy, since B&S are not exactly the kind of...

Indeed. Sometimes he went overboard with the intended fusion of rock and classical, and the late period stuff is just abominable (but to his/their defence, most of the established acts were as well...

He may or may not be overrated on a whole, but I think he's underrated as a 'normal' pop artist.

Oh yes, let's not forget Visconti. Anyway, my point was still that this was arguably Bowie's most original period musically, but then people started throwing Eno around.

Without Eno, "Low" would arguably sound different. In any case, I wasn't holding Eno up against Bowie anyway.

Bowie was good, and I think he has made some great songs, but the one thing he was the true master of was self-promotion. Musically though, he has spent most of his career hanging on the coattails of...

Two for the vaults:

- Electric Light Orchestra was a great band, not at all worse than, say, Queen and way better than Roxy Music.

Maybe 'unmelodic' wasn't the right word. They were certainly melodic, but I don't care for those melodies. Apart from that, I definitely see how they were groundbreaking (the whole post-punk/new...

I've tried several times, believe me, but something just doesn't click. I had the exact same problem with 10cc, but somehow they managed to get through eventually.

I could, but the effort would by far override the adequacy level of this whole discussion.



Thank you for that! At least it outweighs your being wrong about Yes.

Yeah, and I was sincerely serious. Of course KC didn't invent grunge. Yes did. With "Machine messiah".

At least there would be a few percents in there. "Red" (the song) is quite grungy. (So obviously King Crimson are to blame for the invention of grunge).

On the other hand, that's a pretty basic RnR melody after all. What bothers me more is their (Noel's) nonsensical lyrics woven around all those desperate Beatles citations.

It was a melting pot (what hasn't been during the last 20 years?), but I insist on that the very essence of britpop has its roots in the 60's. I wonder if Oasis would have been better had they formed...

Some bands are more obvious than others. I "hate" when people only bring up Yes, Genesis and King Crimson when prog is brought up.

That said, britpop is essentially a 60's thing revived for the...

Now we're talking! Blur > Oasis, but that's another story. (As is the fact that Ray Davies is the father of all things britpop, so Kinks >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Blur > Oasis).

Yeye, Oasis may be derivative as hell, but stuff like "Live forever", "Supersonic" and "Don't look back in anger" are britpop masterpieces, and I'm not budging an inch on this one.
