Oxigen_Waste Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I just realised that I can't stand Queen. I mean, seriously, Brian May is pretty great, but as a whole, they annoy the fuck out of me most of the time. I recognise their importance and all, and they have some genius moments, but they're far too overblown and Freddie Mercury has the shittiest singing voice ever. That is all. Queen's greatness can be summed up in 5 words... A Night At The Opera. It's the only truly great effort they ever contributed to the music world. Other than that, they're just overrated, nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Weren't you the one who didn't like them? Am I going crazy? Maybe it was Paj or Gizmo or something. We all live in a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine... I think you're thinking of when someone compared Panic at the Disco to the Beatles, and I quoted them in disgust.

I said (in the film thread though) when Cube said something about a movie (can't remember which) that I really don't like the beatles, but I know they were a great band. I think I was trying to make the point that just because you don't like something, it doesn't make it terrible, you should still be able to see it's quality. ...was that it?

No. I know you're good with the whole quality/opinion thing. It was someone who really hated them and showed no knowledge of their greatness. :S Can't remember who it was... Also, what the fuck is it with everyone getting some kind of signature colour, now? It was cool when it was Bard and ReZ, now it's getting kinda gay...

chairdriver Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Hey, chairdriver, I'll embark in a quest. I'm gonna make you like the Beatles. Sounds ok to you? First song, lemme know what you thought: Eleanor Rigby (Ignore the video, just listen.) My thoughts on said song: I appreciate that the Beatles were like 2 decades ahead of their time, and nobody else was producing music like that at that time, but nowadays it's just not so exciting. I don't like the sound of his (/their) voice(s) either. It just doesn't sound pleasing to my ears. (Then again I like very few male singers) I kinda like the ochestral-type music in the background, it's different and fun. But all-in-all, not a song I'd put on my iPod.

Oxigen_Waste Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Lol, it is. But purple rocks, admit it. Yeah, so starting now my signature color is white. How annoying is that??? This could actually work...

Oxigen_Waste Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 to me, Tomorrow Never Knows out does most of Sgt. Pepper's on the trippy drug song stakes That means little. To me, Norwegian Wood is better than any Beatles song on any album, but that doesn't mean Rubber Soul is their best album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spose so, but i'm partial to alot of the lonely hearts stuff, which of course brings up the question later beatles work or early (like um...pre 1964ish era) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intensity Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 A Day In The Life is my favourite beatles song. Revolver is my favourite beatles album, just think they got the mix of playful and experimental perfect with that record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paj! Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I used to hate the Beatles, but now I recognise they were a good band, but realistically I doubt i'll put them on my iTunes, let alone myiPod anytime soon. --- Bought Seventh Tree (Deluxe Ediiton) by Goldfrapp today. Just fantastic. Of course, I love the massive box. Apparently it's so you can store all the singles too. (The album, DVD and singles are all in slipcases) The DVD is a bit pointless, but it's got intreresting cinematography. The booklet is the funniest thing. Like a tiny sketchbook.
