It's like you know me
Helped my dad with loading and unloading his van off a job last weekend, and the entire day he hogged the aux to play the shittest hits of disco.
I had to hear Commodores’ Brick House about five times (I only know it from one of the Muppet movies). My dad’s not even American or black.
And I like vintage dance or club music, saying this. I could have tolerated, say, some deep cuts of Northern soul, but no. How someone of my high fine taste and aesthetic sensibility sprang from his loins I do not know.

Ah cachu bant. They're just English, and Scouse at that. They don't represent all of us or all our musical cultures.
Bless you!
Yeah I should've said English. I'd expect somebody from Wales to know at least as many Super Furry Animals and Goldie Lookin' Chain lyrics as I do and that's tough because I owned all the SFA albums at one point, even Mwng.
More gen x over boomer but Bruce Springsteen, how he is considered good is beyond me. His music is barfly rock his voice sounds like he's got gravel in his throat. He stinks!
I wish his stomach was full of botflies.
Nope.
Blasphemy. Esp. the Slash/Izzy symbiosis.
Blasphemy, and blasphemy. Even if i did kinda grow out of the Ramones.
No arguments. Add Steve Miller.
After a certain point, yes.
This has to be a joke. Were they even friends, or friendly? They didn't seem to have a connection, musically or otherwise. Granted Axl & Slash, Axl & Izzy, and Duff & Steven did, and all that held the band together years longer than it should have been.
The way the core five all treated Tracii Guns, Gilby Clarke & Matt Sorum, superior musicians to any of them, was fucking shambolic. I don't know why they're held in high regard by other industry veterans.
Though I will concede that the SlAxl breakup albums were really funny and listenable, better than any GN'R release. Eric Dover, formerly of Jellyfish, is the best singer Slash ever found to match his bluesy glammy poolbowl-scum style, and Phil Lewis likewise suits Tracii Guns' sleazy shreddy psychedelic sound more, and I'm sure all that eats Axl alive to think about. If all your former collaborators leave and replace you, eventually you must realise that you're the problem.
Still, I don't think ChiDem is half as awful as everyone likes to claim, though--if you take it as epic, sprawling, conceptual industrial metal made by a weird closety recluse, it's not bad.

Agree to disagree and that’s cool. Izzy was a songwriting force for them and a great, tasteful complement for Slash. Not too different from Jerry and Bob Weir.
And yeah, Eric Dover was a great get. Big Jellyfish fan. And Imperial Drag didn’t totally suck.
And Sorum not being in the comeback lineup (along with Izzy) is fucking lame.
Had a faggot from England ask me if I liked 'The Boss'. When I said 'no' he was absolutely beside himself. Telling me how Bruce's music is the songtrack for middle America and actually speaks to the common man as if this faggot had any idea what he was talking about. He'd never even been to the US outside of Florida, like every other brit fag (redundant).
Queen. They had some classic tunes, but I can't listen to any of their albums all the way through.
Wagner? Stravinsky? Janáček? Ravel? Debussy? Strauss? Shostakovich? Elgar? Bartók since you're so keen on Franz? Britten? Gershwin? Glass? Pärt?
This guy LOVES the bussy.
I hate to bring niggers into this but Ellington write pretty gud
