My flatmate Bruce Springsteen always tells me what to do. I said Fine, you're the boss.

Bob Marley - exodus (album)
I don't like Bob Marley's music, but he used to smoke his body weight in weed and then do a complete gig. Respect.

And he still performed live - two days after him and his wife were shot by 7 assassins
The balls on this guy..
Geri Halliwell, Look At Me. it's not bad, but I feel it loses the pathos of Lennon's original.
Meet David sedaris
Theft by finding,I've always tried to live by those principles.
A history lesson
Quote: Michael Monkhouse @ 31st March 2021, 8:23 PMI never fathomed the mystique around Sgt Pepper. A handful of classics (Lucy, Leaving Home, Day...) but Paul is pretty twee, Mr kite is probably my least favourite Lennon vocal and George's moment is so boring he needed a laff at the end. first concept album? Bolox.
Exactly. I can't understand the "concept" after "With a little help from my friends."
The loose concept is that it's not the Beatles
It's an album of songs performed by Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band
And it was ground breaking in certain ways
They used a lot of techniques not tried before making the music
First album with lyrics to the songs in the sleeve
Etc
In the cold light of day years later though , half of the album is pretty dull and uninspiring
Lennon himself rubbished the, um, concept of concept albums. It's a fine elpee by anyone else's standards, but it's always topping those Best / Most Important Albums Ever lists, which escapes me.

It was the same when Russ Abbott covered Joy Division's Atmosphere.
Siouxsie and the banshees - join hands
Siouxsie is awesome. Thank f**k some women didn't take the Madonna route.
I just read, 'Madonna's music speaks to me.' It speaks to me too. It says, This is total and utter f**king shit.
Plastic Ono Band gets the Deluxe treatment. It's exciting but I'll wait for someone to drop it on YouTube rather than line Yoko's pockets. He has a higher oldie to newbie discrepancy than Joy Division.
I think Joy Division are total shit.
