Floons are ruining what was a very good thread. Are there any grown ups left around here or is it just me?


you never act like a grown up on here. You come in every thread trying to ruin it and bash/talk down to everyone. Your childish bickering to try to prove that you are always right is quite tiring. You should be banned permanently but I highly doubt that will happen. So do us all a favor, retire your account. We all know you won't change and will be more than happy for you to leave the forum forever. For someone who is in their 40s, your behavior is quite immature. Grow up.

eek YOU are calling someone immature? Err, Mr Pot may I introduce you to Ms Kettle?

As for the "bashing" you need to take a look at this thread and ask yourself who started the bashing. It was you. I insulted no one. It was you and your colleague who posted meaningless insults for no good reason on a thread that was otherwise completely civil.

And lastly, where the hell did you get the idea I was in my 40s? Are the drugs in your fantasy land really that strong?.

Have you guys noticed that when Thriller is mentioned, they only mention the sales and not about the album itself?


The production on the album is often mentioned.
I've lost the use of my heart, But I'm still alive, Still looking for the life, The endless pool on the other side, It's a wild wild west, I'm doing my best, I'm a soldier of love, Every day and night, I'm soldier of love, All the days of my life.

As much as I hate to admit it, I would have to add, "Thriller" to this list. It is not as good as "Off The Wall" and has not aged as well either. Had it not been released, I think Michael would have not have had that pressure to top it and would have released more consistent material.

you really need to back up and quit the namecalling before I report you to the mods. Your behavior is quite childish. Arguing with people and namecalling people all the time. Acting like an internet thug. It's not that serious, midnightmover. GROW THE HELL UP.

Sorry, but outside of the org I think you'd find an awful lot of people would agree with me that that is a garbage track. Coming from someone with 43 years of living under their belt, it's even more sad.

You seem to do an awful lot of misreading. This is not the first time I've had to correct your crazy ideas. And you really need to report yourself, not me, since you've been posting derogatory emoticons and gifs at me for weeks. Take your own advice. Grow up.

Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness....pretentious whiny-nerdness.

The Beatles - Sgt Peppers....not monumental, bit boring, A Day in the Life ain't no great shakes either.

Beach Boys - Pet Sounds....has like, one good -very good- song.

2Pac - All Eyez On Me....Me Against The World is 100x better. How annoying is that shitty remix of California Love. Woulda been class if skimmed to a single disc,

Dr.Dre - The Chronic....pop-rap, ain't all that.

Eric B & Rakim - Paid in Full....apart from the title track.

Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I Am Not.....garbage!

Nine Inch Nail - The Downward Spiral....painful!

that song would be God Only Knows, the rest, whilst nicely arranged with the vocal harmonies an all is just whitebread, bland, inoffensive mush.

I stand resolute that Paid In Full isn't as great as what came after, ergo, it's dated some and is "overrated". We're not taking influence into account here son.

ah yes, another comes to mind....

Massive Attack - Mezzanine....blown outta proportion this one, the critical praise went way over the top with the wankdogs salivating over their keyboards. Blue Lines and Protection were better imo, but this brought more of an atmostphere of dark imagery that's made it a standard of its genre(prog-triphop?). Anyway, I find it to be too generic with its cloddyness, and Robert Del Naja sounds too much like the rapper from East17.

Goldie - Timeless....too long to be a classic.

"Wouldn't It Be Nice" is absolutely perfect. It's nowhere near bland.

It's never been seen as the classic that, say, It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back is. Every track on the album isn't a stone cold classic, but enough of them are, son.

The only song I ever really liked on Pet Sounds was "Sloop John B" and that's not even their song. There's no doubt it's brilliantly produced, but like a lot of iconic albums from that time I've always felt people were praising the idea of it more than anything else. I don't think it can hold a candle to Lovesexy (another ambitious record that actually has some balls and doesn't get a fraction of the praise).

Can't be bothered to read all through this thread, but I wonder if anyones mentioned BloodSugarSexMagic by the Chilli Peppers? good singles but way more filler. The Robert Johnson cover is kinda embarrassing to listen to. In fact, they're pretty overrated most of the time are the chillis.

The Joshua Tree.

"Nevermind [DGC, 1991]
After years of hair-flailing sludge that achieved occasional songform on singles no normal person ever heard, Seattle finally produces some proper postpunk, aptly described by resident genius Kurt Cobain: "Verse, chorus, verse, chorus, solo, bad solo." This is hard rock as the term was understood before metal moved in--the kind of loud, slovenly, tuneful music you think no one will ever work a change on again until the next time it happens, whereupon you wonder why there isn't loads more. It seems so simple. A"

you DO realize that review actually was IN FAVOR of the album, not against it, right? even though christgau is, for the most part, an asshole.

Ok, I was going to say Thriller too but thought I would get my head bit off. Off the Wall is superior to Thriller IMO, but Thriller defines the 80s and my h.s. years.
