Oh how Heston screamed that day, like the Beatles on Sullivan.

Re: The Years Ago thread
Wait, wait. I missed this earlier. The UK's first music Hall of Fame, I assume covering pop, rock, R&B, etc., and they have that deep well of legendary artists to honor and decided that among all of those greats that Robbie Williams was worthy of the inaugural class??? I know they love him and Oasis and hate Led Zeppelin, but holy shit.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.
Re: The Years Ago thread
Oh, it was a public poll for someone to honor from each decade and he was chosen for the 90s and it wasn't exclusive to the UK. Nominees for the 90s were: Blur, Dr. Dre, Missy Elliott, Nirvana, Oasis, The Prodigy, Radiohead, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Robbie Williams, Spice Girls

You're certainly confirming my position that the past is something we need to escape from!

I'll take the half-full side of things. Jenny's post demonstrates the evolution of music and musical tastes. Are many current artists referring to Long Road Out Of Eden as an influence -"Yeah, we were going for a Long Road Out Of Eden vibe/sound"?
Jenny, if you have made progress toward killing the career of the Eagles, then consider your time well-spent and appreciated.

Re: The Years Ago thread
I'm more jaundiced. The Eagles seemed dead and buried and yet they came back. Ancient evils are never fully gone. There will be some band, somewhere, that will take inspiration from the Eagles and that album, and they will seek to drag down music with them.gkbill wrote: ↑17 Nov 2021, 12:45pmHello,Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑17 Nov 2021, 12:21pmYou're certainly confirming my position that the past is something we need to escape from!
