i'm sure everyone here who has replied to this thread has had some band they really love mentioned already, right?

― Michael B, Friday, 20 August 2004 17:35 (twenty-one years ago)

"The Rolling Stones. "

Anything up to and including "Start Me Up" can stay. After that, fair game.

Played

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Monday, 23 August 2004 12:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Everything that's been released in the last five years.

Not because I don't think anything good's been released in the last five years but because it frequently seems to take at least five years for people to be able to distinguish between genuine quality and current passing fad.

Failing that, The Beatles.

Not because I don't think the Beatles were any good but because they represent the ultimate excuse for millions of ignorant tossers not to bother to listen to anything else, because of the automatic presumption that "it can't be as good as The Beatles".

They weren't that fuckin' good.

Well you can't listen to the same 14 or so recs forever

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Monday, 23 August 2004 12:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Also, everyone should have to produce a certificate, signed by an appropriately qualified professional independent adjudicator, to testify that they've listened to Trout Mask Replica properly, right the way through, without interruption, at least 20 times, before they're allowed to express any opinion on it.

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Monday, 23 August 2004 12:47 (twenty-one years ago)

That should go for ALL RECORDS, fuck fun

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Monday, 23 August 2004 12:48 (twenty-one years ago)

It would get awfully quiet 'round here if everyone had to wait 'til they'd played an album 20 times before they were allowed to express an opinion on it!

I do have a strong suspicion 'though that an awful lot of people dismiss TMR in particular after having only listened to the first few bars and decided that it sounds horrible.
