@jegga what. the. fuck. Acca Dacca compared to Nickelback!!? Dude that is out there, even for the fern.
Yep. Jegga my respect just plummeted with that post. You need to redeem yourself
Aren’t you a puddle of mudd fan ? People in glass houses and all that
I've heard one song. It's quite shit.

Quite possibly the most beautiful song Lou ever recorded. (The super-delicious guitar work is by Bob Kulick who was the uncredited guitarist on most Kiss records from their glory years.)
You know, man, when I was a young man in high school
You believe it or not, that I wanted to play football for the coach
And all those older guys
They said that he was mean and cruel but you know
I wanted to play football, for the coach
They said I was a little too lightweight to play linebacker and so I'm playing right-end
Wanted to play football for the coach
'Cause, you know some day, man you gotta stand up straight unless you're gonna fall
Then you're going to die
And the straightest dude I ever knew was standing right for me, all the time
So I had to play football for the coach
And I wanted to play football for the coach -
@salacious-crumb Until he started singing...
-
Never heard Lou sing before, huh? (Really?)
-
@salacious-crumb Of course I have.
Let's just say that the singing from the likes of Lou Reed, Bob Dylan and Neil Young, to name 3 artists, is an acquired taste.

Bob Dylans voice has grown on me over the years, Neil Youngs voice has had the opposite effect.

All three are great. So are Jimi Hendrix and Leonard Cohen. If you’ve never heard Charlie Parker, or god forbid Ornette Coleman, they’re acquired tastes, too.

Vocals are very important to me in forming an opinion on the music I like and listen to. For that reason there are certain types of music I have never been interested in.
You could have the best musicians in the world but a shitty singer and I'll switch off.
All very subjective, of course.

I'm imagining when Bob finallly pops his clogs that the wank Facebook posts will be nauseating, just as they were when the equally bad Lou Reed died.
I think he's a fucken terrible artist and cannot for the life of me see why anyone would like him.
I do like Neil Young though, he's done some genuine bangers.

Dylan was at least very influential, Lou Reed ? Yeah nah .

The velvets influenced a couple of people..
They sort of started punk didn’t they? They top the list of bands I thought were cool when I was 14 I cannot stand now.
-
They influenced some of the people who went on to make punk. Much more of a varied influence than just punk though.
Bowie was a massive fan for instance and said Lou changed the way he wrote lyrics.In any 'alt' rock genre of the last half century you'll find a lot of people who claim they were influenced by the velvets. It's so common its a cliche.. that's why I thought it was a strange angle to attack Reed on
He is divisive though.. I get that. Plenty of people can't stand him

Listening to a lot of a band i somehow completely missed in the 90s. This whole album is very good.

I always thought they were more thrash, based solely on the band name.
me too!
-
Definitely the best song I've ever heard about fishing......look fast for cameos by James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett on the boat.
Primus sure are a weird band but those a three absolutely wicked musos right there, none more so by Les Claypool, trying to place him in my all time top ten bass players sure is tough but he's unique and awesome that's for sure.
