Just a knitpick...why is No Doubt's Rock Steady ahead of their Tragic Kingdom album? Does anyone actually legit believe that?

i do...

[Edwin MacPhisto]

Me too. No Doubt synth > No Doubt ska. I feel like Rock Steady is the closest they ever came to aping Blondie in spirit and sound, which is really what they were always meant to be anyway.

I don't care how many times I've heard "How Soon is Now?" I still love it. However, my favorite Smiths is and forever will be "There is a Light That Never Goes Out."

[vivalaultra]

I didn't really dislike "How Soon Is Now?" until I heard that cover version of it that was the theme song to the sexy witch dramedy Charmed. Prior to that, I only didn't care for it because it was overplayed to the mizax, yo. After that, I just stopped really liking it regardless of how often I heard it. I like the Smiths' s/t more than Meat Is Murder, but for no conceivable reason of either's quality. Either way, The Queen is Dead is the money record. I don't even really listen to alot of their original LPs anymore, anyway. They just have so many compilations and such, of which I own most.

 

In the Aeroplane Over the Sea isn't the greatest record of all-time or anything, but I think it's one of the best CDs to come out in the last 10-15 years. It gets in your head....man.

[PLAGIARISM!]

It is the abhorrent cover versions that dimmed my enjoyment of 'How Soon Is Now?', definitely.

[Narcoleptic Jumper]

Aeroplane not recorded well? That's one of the most beautiful, perfect, warm sounding lo-fi records ever made. Not recorded well, psh. My foot.

[Giuseppe Zangara]

Listen to "Two Headed Boy." Every time Mangum reaches the upper end of his register, it causes distortion on the mic. The song was obviously recorded on a cheap tape deck.

[PLAGIARISM!]

You listened too hard!
