He wasn't so good at that. Maybe another hobby. Origami, perhaps.
Don't fake the funk on a nasty dunk!

Re: LaRS v SIO
I voted Dylan because old music is better than new music, that's how this thing works isn't it?
Honestly though both of these songs are great, even if Taylor sort of ruins hers with The Naff Bit™, but honestly the reaction here to anything new and/or popular and/or down with the kids is the reason I don't post any threads. I mean what's the point? Kudos to Coan though for stirring the pot!

Re: LaRS v SIO
It’s not even a particularly good stir of the pot.
It isn’t just that “Rolling Stone” is old that makes this silly. It is that it is among the (beware...critic-speak ahead) landmark records of all time.
If you just want to test the old vs. new dichotomy...put it up against something from the same time frame without all of the cultural significance.
Maybe something like Len Barry’s “1-2-3” would be a fair fight.

I'm contractually obliged to disagree with every single bit of tedious canon-worship and "ooooh it's 60s, it has to be good, and culturally more relevant than ever, maaahn - and I can name the second bongo player to prove it" on here. But even as good a song as Shake it Off is, it's not in the same league.

She was thinking her minions would lap it up. And she was right.
Nobody has to exalt anything. But the Dylan's better played, better sung, better produced, and better written. And the hatz's simply do not do sick beats.

It’s actually closer to Steve McMahon. Or MC Brian Moore.
Christ, that was worse than I remembered it to be. And I remembered it as a stinker.

Re: LaRS v SIO
Is it a cop out to say I’ve listened to SIO considerably more often than LARS this last three or four years - I agree it’s a gold plated pop banger - but I’m not ready to confer it superior status over an objectively great work of art? It may feel fusty and ossified today but I remember getting jazzed on it all over again when No Direction Home came out. That’s what great music can do, you’ve heard it all yada yada and then something - new context, long fallow period, whatever - can bring it back to technicolour life.

Re: LaRS v SIO
Where's the instrumental performance in SiO that a machine couldn't have done? You want joy, I want grit.

Of course "Like A Rolling Stone" is a better song, but fuck, how many times can we skate around in a circle before we fall through the ice?
