nice!

fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 29 December 2003 03:04 (twenty-two years ago)

though i think i might have gone a little blind when opening the thread

fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 29 December 2003 03:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Despite my undying loathing for "Take the Money and Run" (which is not a cred issue, considering I have undying lurve for "Do You Feel Like We Do"), this comp looks super-ultra-ace. Yay!

nate detritus (natedetritus), Monday, 29 December 2003 04:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Storytelling and songwriting should never mix; I have similar distaste for SMB, Nate. I was tempted to go with the appallingly-titled "Rock 'N Me" (to say nothing of the album cover), but, as with "Take it to The Limit", I deferred to chart history. 3 SMB songs? Not a chance-- "Rock 'N Me" is just too goddamned generic apart from that one guitar lick.

Making this thing killed me, honestly, but I wanted to do it because 70-76 is my absolute least favorite period in pop history and I've ignored it...generic funk, disco, AM Gold and Southern Rock = shoot me. I did discover Kid Dynamite, the Jackson Sisters' "I Believe in Miracles", Jimmy Cliff's "If I Follow My Mind", Buster Williams' "The Hump", some reggae, so, learned some things.

Chris Ott (Chris Ott), Monday, 29 December 2003 04:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Why should storytelling and songwriting not mix? They don't mix often enough anymore.

applepie baseball, Monday, 29 December 2003 05:38 (twenty-two years ago)

And "Take the Money and Run" is a fantastic song. It has such fantastically creative non-rymes! Those lyrics never fail to put a smile on my face

applepie baseball, Monday, 29 December 2003 05:42 (twenty-two years ago)

It's the type of storytelling that gets me, that linear "Puff the Magic Dragon" PP&M "Let me tell you all the story of..." nonsense. And could there be a harsher indictment of long-hair idiocy than the fictional account of watered-down Easy Rider rebellion in question?

Chris Ott (Chris Ott), Monday, 29 December 2003 14:15 (twenty-two years ago)

The fact that you're partially going by chart position rather than what, you know, you actually like does taint this a bit.

nate detritus (natedetritus), Monday, 29 December 2003 16:44 (twenty-two years ago)

It looks like there's a lot of both really, and many many songs could fill both purposes. Who's to say that "Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald" isn't Ott's favorite song?

My only complaint with the comp is that "Somebody to Love" should be last.

Kenan Hebert (kenan), Monday, 29 December 2003 17:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Bit of both, Nate - I've got to do the time period some justice, even it's purely academic. I don't like "Disco Duck" in any way - "ironically", "kitsch", none of it - but can you think of a clearer illustration of why the Sex Pistols were so shocking than to hear them back to back? I couldn't. "Duck" was #1 in the US two weeks before "Anarchy" was released, and "Tonight's The Night" - another tune I can't bear - was #1 in the UK that whole November. I was probably more excited by the prospect of recreating and contrasting the different landscapes than doing any revisionist tastemaking.
