Paul McCartney (although I personally am not a Beatles fan)

― Ian Moraine (Eastern Mantra), Sunday, 17 October 2004 16:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Nobody who calls himself a Beatles fan would mention McCartney anyway, as he played too much of an important part in the band, also beyond those ballads and music hall influenced numbers that people without taste tend to dislike.

Axl Rose

Heh heh...saw the thread title & instantly thought "Mike Love!" And I'm not even as big a BBs fan as some ILMers.

Greg Norton didn't really contribute anything to Husker Du, apart from a fairly cool moustache.

sticking with brothers, bob and tommy stinson.

― j.m. lockery (j.m. lockery), Monday, 18 October 2004 00:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Bob Stinson?!?!?!?! What the fuck? He was key the 'Mats greatest work.

― jack cole (jackcole), Monday, 18 October 2004 00:22 (twenty-one years ago)

i wasn't calling into question bob's musical contribution anymore than i'm sure alex was danzig's re: the misfits. i lived in mpls when the mats ruled and he was a total fucking drunken pig. the thread is about respect, and that can be a complicated emotion. sad that he died that way though, seriously.

― j.m. lockery (j.m. lockery), Monday, 18 October 2004 00:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Tommy Stinson...ya....he was so pathetic on our porch at 3am. (1984?), yelling into our front door, looking for a party. We were tired and had stuff to do in the morning.

The drummer from Gay Dad?

― Sasha (sgh), Monday, 18 October 2004 01:43 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't even think that Blur is that great (decent hit comps, two or three pleasant albums) but I'm going to say Damon Albarn, who is one pompous nitwit.

― manthony m1cc1o (Anthony Miccio), Monday, 18 October 2004 01:50 (twenty-one years ago)

I do think that Blur is that great, but I'd still agree with Damon Albarn being one pompous nitwit.

― The Good Dr. Bill (Andrew Unterberger), Monday, 18 October 2004 01:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Hmmm...assuming that I misunderstood the thread (ie. evaluating musician's personalities rather than musical worth), well then, there's dozens, too many to name. It's been years since, I learned to accept the fact that many of my musical heroes were true arseholes - talented ones, but still. Jimi Hendrix, Miles Davis, John Bonham, Captain Beefheart...

― Myonga Von Bontee (Myonga Von Bontee), Monday, 18 October 2004 04:43 (twenty-one years ago)

actually, take back Andy Fletcher; he deserves respect for somehow getting away with never doing anything particularily musical yet being in a band for 20+ years. It's a talent. Gore said he was their 'quality control' or something? whatever.

― derrick (derrick), Monday, 18 October 2004 05:54 (twenty-one years ago)

jimi hendrix? really? he always seemed like a nice guy to me...

― J.D. (Justyn Dillingham), Monday, 18 October 2004 08:44 (twenty-one years ago)

I guess the tread is about evaluating both personalities and musical worth...

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Monday, 18 October 2004 08:55 (twenty-one years ago)

Oy, the freakin' Gallagher brothers from Oasis....

...now that I think about it, I'm not even sure I respect Oasis...

― cdwill, Monday, 18 October 2004 17:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Yay! Damon Albarn!

Is he like the English Stephen Malkmus? I cannot say, as I unquestionably love Steve.

― John Cei Douglas (John Cei Douglas), Monday, 18 October 2004 17:49 (twenty-one years ago)

M*rtin (Sh)Atkins (PiL, Brian Brain, Pigface, Damage Manual and briefly Ministry & Killing Joke) - A great drummer, but a devious businessman, self-aggrandizing manipulator and a disagreeable jerkoff.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 18 October 2004 20:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Definitely agree with Martin Atkins...he's all into "subversively infiltrating the system and fucking it up fron within" in a hysterical way reminiscent of a computer hacker in some stereotypical cheesy Gen X film. It's completely laughable.
