The Beastie Boys

The Beastie Boys

That's one of the bands people just assume you should like or at least that's been my experience when discussing them in real life.

[Penk!]

Yorick's Cock
Spirograph
Cathcart, Dobber and Potter

[fange]

Yorick's Cock

[BARON CORNY DOG]

Grateful Dead - tedious beyond measure jam band who despite committing countless days, possibly weeks or months, of "music" to tape never wrote a single fucking tune ever.

Joni Mitchell anybody? She has written a tune (and I am humming it now) but there are whole albums which don't bother the melody-ometer once.

You are both correct.

No they aren't. Though Copehead is much closer to the mark.

[Charlie O.]

They are both so astoundingly wrong that it's hard for me to believe that they have ever actually heard the artists in question.

I'm not for a moment suggesting that either artist is beyond criticism, but this specific criticism - that they are melody-deficient - is straight out of Bizzarro World.

[Lord Rother]

Captain Beefheart
Soft Machine
Wu Tang Clan (etc.)

[Darkness_Fish]

The Beastie Boys

I'm with you there. I don't care how clever or innovative their music was, because I just can't get past how annoying those voices are. Worse than any band outside The B52s.

Tom's great. A brilliant set of soul shouter pipes.
Ill served by song choice occasionally and dipping into cheese far too often in his heyday, but his 90s renaissance, driven by his son becoming his manager and getting him off the cruise/chicken in a basket treadmill and on at Glastonbury, was genuinely fun.

His first outing at Glastonbury was great, you could see how nervous he was but he got the crowd on side with a blistering soul set backed by a great band, then he finished up with the cheese when everyone was won over. He changed Glastonbury and opened up that slot for careers to be reassessed in a similar way to Tarrantino and certain actors.

So with Tom don't listen to Delilah listen to something like You Keep Me hanging On and marvel that that voice could come out of a lad from the valleys

His son became his manager mid 80's and he last played Vegas six years ago. Still he is s Sex Bomb isn't he. And he knew Elvis apparently.

[naughty boy]

Copehead probably thinks Shirley Bassey is 'The Queen Of Soul' or some such fucking nonsense

Blocked. I'll write a typical overwrought BCB thread crapping reply when I've got more time.
