What Are you Listening to Right Now?

Long time since I played this but still dig it immensely.

Hello,

I didn't know anyone else here listened to this band. There's moments when they really hit the spot. I can honestly say I've listened to This Dust Makes That Mud all the way through - my first listen I just kept wondering when it was going to end. I haven't heard much recent stuff - any thoughts on stuff since WIXIW?

That song is running right now. It's a beautiful tension of "what the hell is happening?" anxiousness and "this is like a mantra" calm.

The last thing I remember from them was Mess. Loved "Mess on a Mission," tho I remember a friend vehemently questioning I could endorse crap like that.

A good ep.

The 14 song KISS playlist I made for Doc in the Challenge Thread a couple of years back. This is a really melodic set of songs covering only the years 1978-81, and I enjoyed hearing them again tonight. People should listen to this, cast aside their prejudices, and imagine they were just a power pop band from the late 70s. It will help if you don't look at the pictures...

I encourage others to listen to that playlist and decide whether the contents are power pop. I fiercely reject that position.

Well some of them are, I was trying to hook a couple of people in.

Power pop seems a stretch. Maybe that Ace Frehley song but. I guess im not sure what power pop is through. Would Heavens on Fire be power pop to you Heston?

Power pop is basically 60s pop melodies with some punkish bite. Early Who is power pop (actually, Pete Townshend is supposedly the person who first used the term). So is Cheap Trick.

Of my list I'd say 2000 Man and Talk To Me could comfortably fit in that bracket.

No, that song is dreadful.

"Talke To Me," yes, I'll grant that; "2000 Man," no. The latter is more garage-ish to my ears. It lacks a pop upbeat spark.

It is indeed but I thought it might be sufficiently poopish for you to like it.
