If Music Could Talk

They are the opposite of good. The epitome of not good. The role model for things not good. Foreigners are great you Xenophobe. Stealing our jo....em, i think we're talking about the band here, right? Could you imagine two Foreigners. 😯 Impossible. There's only one Mick Jones! Sadly there are two. ...

Since working at a record store, I have a visceral aversion to RSD anyway.

I put more effort into the remasters I do than 95% of these RSD releases.

I think I would miss both "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" and "Billy Jean" as they are great pop songs.

Who were the biggest solo artists of the 80s? Michael Jackson probably is at the top of that list, but I'd put Phil Collins in 2nd place. Madonna's on the short list. The short list of suck. Maybe the 80s were the worst what with Collins and Bruce I'm thinking you have misunderstood the title of th...

Agreed.

I think I top-3 could be:

1) Michael Jackson
2) Madonna
3) Phil Collins

Prince?

I mentioned this stuff way back and got some short shrift at the time for my views. My main beef was the stuff that ended up on Ebay without any chance of genuine fans getting them from the retail outlet. Now it's even worse with bad pressings and some (not all) bad releases. Way more thought and c...

Happy birthday Stefano.

It's been a few years since I've bothered with RSD. Absolutely no shade to anyone here who's been picking up stuff they enjoy, sincerely, but overall the element of conspicuous consumption increasingly makes me want to puke. It's obviously always been a "retail holiday" and buying shit was the poin...

Just love Edwyn Collins. Still making very fine music.

What an inspiration he is.

There's a certain band from Basildon that happened to release three killer albums in a row during the 1980s. All 6 of their 80s albums are solid. Are we still talking about Iron Maiden? No they released 7 albums in the 80s. All are terrible. I'm hardly what would be classified as a fan. I do like a...

So was Ratty online?

He checks in regularly as a lurker. I gather he's doing well from our periodic contact, but prefers to just read our shenanigans from afar at the moment. Sort of like the watchmaker god.

good to know he's doing well.
