My best friend is a Barbra Streisand fan so I know her music. Music that sucks ass big big time - "...Papa can you hear me???" - Puking - imagine.

the way i feel about dylan is this: he's so be felt more than he is to be understood and sometimes heard. all those people who sit around and analyze the mans lyrics for "deeper" meaning give me a good laugh. i'm more inclined to sit there enjoy the music, and his voice, and if possible the words. its like i love the song ballad of a thin man, but i have no idea what he's talkin about. or i and i where i cant understand any of the words bsides the chorus. its like i said, he's to be felt moreso than understood or heard (sometimes i just drown out his voice altogether and listen to the music or words)

So wouldn't it be better if he just wrote the songs and let someone who could actually sing, sing them? What good is a brilliant lyric if nobody can understand a word he sings? And not because he's putting a musical effect into the lyric, but rather simply because he mumbles.

MICHAEL JACKSON!!!!!

good God do I not get, like, or have any sympathy for this man and his crappy music.

Never saw anything in his "dancing"

Bob Marley.... leaves me cold.... reggae in general doesn't float my boat....

Isn't reggae the only thing you should be listening to? Smoking a joint a listening to 'Doe maar'?

Shit, I really thought I knew my fellow-Europeans.

Mariah Carey

I love her voice but aside from that, her music really doesn't move me.
We Belong Together will undoubtably be the hit of the year yet i don't understand the supposed greatness to the song.

Doe Maar is good.... but that ain't reggae... more like ska-influenced pop... and I'm not your typical Dutch pothead... I don't even smoke anymore... save for the occasional cigar... God, I miss my cigarette....

MartyMcFly said:

I was being ironic, just pointing out the image most people have of the Dutchies.

MarieLouise said:

I knew that.... I just get nervous when talking to you....

Don't you do that. I get too weak when boys act helpless.

"today i look all around and see armies of burly 15 year olds with beards and tatoes and piercings all walking around looking like there 40 and thinking they are cool and rebelious while wearing the same mainstream/alternative mall gear that everyone else is wearing."


Did anyone see that episode of South Park where one of the characters becomes a member of a Goth gang. "To join our gang of non-conformists you have to dress exactly like us and listen to the same music that we do". Priceless!

My list by the way would include:
QUEEN (Overblown rock operatics. I blame Pete Townshend!)
JANIS JOPLIN (Bought a 2 CD Ultimate Collection to check out the fuss. Excruciatingly annoying woman screaming? I get that at home already!)
COLDPLAY (ZZZZZ)
PINK FLOYD (Stoner noodling? Psychedelic brass band music? Gimme the first album with Syd Barrett and forget the rest)
PAUL WELLER (Once a great singer and songwriter with The Jam and TSC, covered a vast spectrum of musical styles. Now content with repeating the same turgid rock style for the past ten years)
ERIC CLAPTON (Sure Cream were ok but solo? No thanks)
UB40 (once quite a cool band until they decided to become a novelty cabaret reggae band)

Paul Simon is whitebread and boring. Graceland is the most boring album ever made.

There is much more to a song than the words. If that wasn't the case, we'd all just read poetry. Sorry but I still don't "get" this cat

Radiohead.

Bob Marley.... leaves me cold.... reggae in general doesn't float my boat....

David bowie.


Is is me or does he suffer from style over substance musically? Alot of his music seems very cluttered and overproduced? Maybe iam seeing the wrong music videos.....i think people criticised prince in that way too?


He references major tom in at least 2 songs. Who is tom?
