The Music Thread Strikes Back

[sycophantia]

Badmotorfinger is ace. Tbh @sycophantia give it a go. Based on other stuff you like would expect you'll be a fan.

I'll have a look ta, tbh I was just making a shit joke but will deffo give them a listen.

Really weird to think that this dropped before Nevermind.

Extreme early 90s vibes off this video.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

It’s a good album.

Rusty cage, Jesus Christ pose and especially outshined are ace.

Superunknown came out 30yrs ago last week. That made me feel old.
I remember Black Hole Sun being on constant rotation on MTV. 10yr old me would be having breakfast cereal watching the video before school, and then another couple of times when I got home from school. It was massively promoted

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

I still have to skip Black Hole Sun now when I play that album. It was complete overkill by MTV.

A lot of my favourite songs have been overplayed by MTV or rock radio so I rarely listen to them now.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

Weirdly, I’ve never got sick of Alive by Pearl Jam. I still enjoy listening to it as much now as I did the first time I heard it.

Black Hole Sun > Alive

yeah, definitely gone off a lot of big singles by favourite artists that got over exposed. The joy is that led me to deeper cuts on albums that I may not have explored in as much detail before.

Black Hole Sun > Alive

I probably agree but they're both much of a muchness in the slightly above average rock stakes.

Obviously it's a personal taste thing, but I'd class them well above average songs.

Not sure whether to put this in the music thread or one of the politics threads, couldn't decide which though! So here it is.

Chumbawamba wrote Tubthumping as a working-class anthem. We won’t have it stolen by the right | Boff Whalley

Why do populists so often use the work of artists who despise them? Because they don’t have any good songs of their own, says former Chumbawamba guitarist Boff Whalley

Love or hate the song, he's right about one thing: the political right just don't have good music.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I dunno. Racist anti-vaxxer Eric Clapton had a couple of good ones.

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

As does Morrissey

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I have a very complicated relationship with Morrissey these days. I can square listening to The Smiths with the easy "it's Johnny fucking Marr, man" get out clause, but you can't do that with his solo stuff. Helps that he hasn't brought out a good record since 2009.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

It’s not about left and right.

The devil has all the good music.
