Quote from: Psy-Fi on Mar 17, 2023, 09:59 AMThe surviving members of Lynyrd Skynyrd should've retired the band's name after the plane crash.

i don't think there are any surviving original members now that rossington has died

but i know that's not what you're saying

to your point post-crash skynyrd is considerbly worse than jacksonville rivals 38 special and molly hatchet

they damaged their legacy so badly that it can be an uphill battle explaining how great they were

zeppelin is a band that did it right

the who are a band that did it very wrong


The Who definitely should've called it quits after Keith Moon died.

And (here's my controversial music opinion) possibly even before they recorded "Who Are You."

i love that record but it's true there are hints in there that face dances was on the horizon maybe even in the "who who who who" chorus of the title track

and i like face dances but i still think it hurts their legacy- it should have been released under a different name - it's a fun record


The biggest problem with The Who is Roger Daltrey.

This is what you want. This is what you get.

In the lead vocalist department.

This is what you want. This is what you get.

Yeah, I think the Who should have called it a day after Who By Numbers. Even then you could see some of the aura fading but it's still a decent album. After that, you can forget it, though, and now Townshend and Daltrey look like a bad oldies show.

The Word has spoken :D

I just checked the track list for 'Who Are You' and I realized that "Trick of the Light" is on that album and that's one of my all-time favorite Who songs. I guess the title track ain't bad either, so I'll have to retract my previous statement.

How Tall is Roger Daltry?

QuoteThat's how you feel as you're getting older. You used to walk down the street with cocky bravado and now it's, "I hope I don't get blown over!"

I'm not a tough guy, I'm just five-foot-four and a half of bloody muscle, that's all I am. (laughs) I am 75 years old and I don't bounce.

Who Are You and Who By Numbers both have excellent tracks but lack the phenomenal consistency of earlier releases

they're not legacy killers

i agree


Louis Armstrong sucks. Hot 5's and 7's was crap pop music when he released it and now it's garbage nostalgia. Hello Dolly! sucked then and now. What a Wonderful World is pollyanna bullshit. Dude was a clown and is the most overrated musician in American history. Miles and Coltrane grew from the seeds planted from Duke Ellington. The idea thar Armstrong and Ellington were earlier contemporaries like Diz and Bird is ridiculous. Armstrong shouldn't even be mentioned as being as good or as important as Duke Ellington.

Actually, this has been bothering me for years.

If you want to listen to early jazz please look to Ellington.


I can't speak on importance, but I do agree on the Duke. Probably the GOAT of the pre-bebop era of jazz for me.

I think I've been a member of this here community for enough time that I can be comfortable sharing my hot takes. Here's a few.

Off the Wall is better than Thriller.

Heavy metal peaked in the 70s when it was just a bunch of stoners fuzzing it up.

Lil Jon is an incredible visionary who should be spoken of with the utmost reverence.

Morrissey's lyrics are corny to the max.

New age music is an incredibly broad, vibrant and evocative genre and I think a lot of its bad rap comes from the awful pseudoscience and fringe religion stuff that really has nothing to do with the actual music.

"stressed" is just "desserts" spelled backwards

QuoteLil Jon

a t l representin

we grew up in different parts of town but he's not actually from "da hood"
