[kj] OT: Pop Music Rant

[Brendan Quinn]

Agree with you both, it's good that I can mention that I like Queen, Tears
for Fears etc (I mean if you have a problem with them you probably have a
problem with at least two Killing Joke albums.), Danzig even.and admittedly
a lot of it for historical reasons. I spoke to a guy in NZ who worked in the
music industry here and o/s for ages, worked his way up quite high, and he
said Tears for Fears were top chaps to meet and put on a brilliant show.

 

Not sure if anyone has forgiven me for mentioning Blind Melon, not really
sure why.thank god I didn't mention that I like Dionne Warwick, Aretha
Franklin, and Annie Lennox :-)

 

Bearing in mind the vast majority of my listening time is spent on Killing
Joke, Tool, Soundgarden, Kyuss, System of a Down, Alice in Chains, Leftfield
etc.so without some different music pretty soon I'd start looking like
Animal off The Muppets.

I'm a big believer in that if you want to hear good music don't listen to
the charts.

Not always the case, but i'd say that's true 97.895% of the time.

As for guilty pleasures, I have a gazillion of them. Why pigeon hole
yourself.

I like what i like, as should everyone, & if something tickles your music
tendon, it tickles it.

Even Mariah Carey - who's opinion of I share Alex - I can appreciate she has
a good voice.

I wish she wouldn't use it & I kinda wish she'd get run over - but there's
no denying she can sing.

 

Erm... stuff.
