ITT: Anon Babble in 1979
I Can't Help It might be one of the greatest songs ever written. It's so good that I can see it becoming a jazz standard in the next few decades.
Lodger.
It's a great album but I'm afraid his success is not going to last long with disco becoming a dirty word.
Disco sucks! I wish i had been born earlier to enjoy good music like Elvis and The Beatles when they were on the radio
This fucking sucks
OH GOD, DISCO SUCKS
WE ARE FAMILYYYYYY
duality of man
What does Anon Babble think?
I like You're no Good and Beautiful Girl, but I maintain that the music, if you disregard Eddie Van Halen, is not different than other rock bands. Why do bands like that bother, haven't the Pistols already wiped them out? I mean there's no way anything will ever come out of this, punk has destroyed rock and Van Halen are setting up to play for a party they were too late to join.
weak Democrat president who has the word "Sucker" written all over him
Russians invading neighboring cunts
busted-up economy with soaring inflation
crime is through the roof
crappy cars ruined by government emissions regs
PC nonsense like the Sacajawea dollar being pushed
Hopefully our kids and grandkids never have this come back.
Eh, I prefer Elvis Costello.
Hitler was one righteous dude, no doubt. Check it out—he didn’t do nothin’ wrong! The Jews are just jivin’ us with their bogus rap, man. I realized this while listening to the Police’s “Reggatta de Blanc”, a popular release during this current year of 1979.
music?
Musically, this is a step toward schlock that knows its name--a few smarmy melodies mixed in with the production values and synthesizer furbelows. Thematically, it's both sophomoric and disgusting--programmatic misogyny rooted in sexual rejections that were clearly deserved. Visually, it's sadistic--the three women on the Hipgnosis cover wear black veils that only partly conceal their scars, warts and blotches. What is it they stencil on street corners? Castrate art rockers? D
This reads like it was written by some jive turkey who lets his old lady ball other dudes.
programmatic misogyny rooted in sexual rejections that were clearly deserved
so much projection
it's only 10 more years until Taylor Swift is born. enjoy it while it lasts.
This new Zeppelin album is rough. I think they're washed and might as well hang it up.
Man, these guys sold the fuck out. I thought they were a punk band... guarantee you this pseudo-jam band shit fest fizzles out as fast as it came up.
Wow, glad I missed that plane flight in Chicago. That was a close one.
All these phony "rock" bands with their long hair
HERE I LIE IN A LOST AND LONELY PART OF TOWN
HELD IN TIME, IN A WORLD OF TEARS I SLOWLY DROWN
Dude absolutely. And with Sabbath now finished it's curtains for an era. Only Zeppelin are left to carry the flag.
Hey, psst, wanna hate a disco singer? Got one for ya. This is a white American girl gone Yurrupean, and she doesn't end up like Donna Summer, believe me. Ex-model, blonde of course, comes on all dewy-eyed then sings these lies about her passions. You catch yourself dancing to it and you wanna puke. Plus on the other side you can't even dance to it--it's like if Cheryl Ladd recorded Edith Piaf tributes, which she might yet, all topped off with a paean to "retro," which in case you didn't know means nostalgia with a will to power. C
This is the most cynical gaysploitation album ever recorded.
punk is dying after just two years
LOL cool “movement” you had there lads.
The hippies lasted longer.
Disco is gonna be here at least until 1990
No, no. I think we're due for a big second wave. Mark my words now: The Clash will release their most critically acclaimed album in '85.
disc 3
what the fuck. i think he needs to retire already.
As Neil said "It's better to burn out than fade away"
What a fascinatingly composed photo they chose for the sleeve. I wonder if the World Trade Center being the only identifiable building and the arrangement of the letters surrounding it is going to be significant in 22 years
i think she needs to retire too. the all-star cast on here can't make her sound 30 again.
Trips of truth.
You just don't get it. Carouselambra fucking rocks. Led Zep are adapting to the new wave style well, I doubt they'll ever stop.
Look at the fucking nips making their beep boop bop robot sounds on this album
Tired of all these Nancy boys prancing around. It disgusts me, spreading their sickness and deviancy. Wish they all would get wiped away.... Now excuse me, I need to flip my Paper Roses / Mixed Emotions vinyl
FUCK THE BEE GEES
Remember when they made great baroque pop?
so now Dylan found Jesus apparently. fuck that i'm done with him.
but good
Not as sodden as you'd expect--these guys are pros and they adapt to the times by speeding up the music. I actually enjoy a few of these songs until I come into contact with the dumb woman-haters doing the singing. I mean, these guys think punks are cynical and antilife as they complain that the world is all madness and lies and then proceed to rhyme "science" with "appliance" and don't intend a joke. C
I think this sounds way better than the debut. I’d keep an eye on them. The punk thing seems silly anyway. Also, they’re named THE POLICE. How punk could they be? I think they’re laughing at the punks. The guitarist is almost 40 for Christ’s sake.
nobody tell anyone that Alan Vega was born prior to WW2
The new stuff I've heard coming out of Cali is very raw and violent, and reports from the shows they're putting on seem like they're more into brawling with the band than enjoying them. Truthfully I don't like it. Punk should have an element of fun and playfulness.
This is a white American girl gone Yurrupean, and she doesn't end up like Donna Summer, believe me
this girl doesn't sound black she sounds too white thus bad
This album was to 70s rock operas what Walk Hard was to 2000s music biopics. Which I guess makes The Wall the Bohemian Rhapsody (the movie) of 70s rock operas.
Disco sucks, that is all.
He needs to make another longing torch album like his classic Capitol stuff. He's still got the voice, all he needs is the right material.
The evasive satire and not-funny-enough instrumentals on side one had me convinced that they'd made their arena move before there was an arena on Earth that would have them. But the cover of "Secret Agent Man" and "The Day My Baby Gave Me a Surprize" on side two are as bright as anything on the debut and the arrangements are full of surprizes. B
damn, we get it, George. you have a weakness for hooch. it's almost turned into pablum at this point.
Ironically they held off most of their best early songs and concert favorites for the second album, yet they're all inferior to the live versions and demos that have been released. And the production is much weaker than the debut. I think they were so used to operating DIY for so long that they didn't want to listen to their producers.
Woah...
That is interesting. Head games, like when we used to play soccer? Or do you think he means chess? Or the girl is in the bathroom to do... stuff to me? hehehehehe not that I would have a problem with that!
I keep hearing that song on the radio and damn I am so sick of it, must be the 50th time this week. Something I never heard enough of is B52s and Devo.
I paid almost $100 to see Aerosmith the other night and they were only on 15 minutes and were so spaced out they could barely play.
ARE YOU LADS READY FOR THE EVENT OF THE YEAR
Fuck off you corporate shill disco SUCKS
You will get sick of hearing Devo on the radio next year, you just wait and see.
Sparks are releasing an album with Giorgio Moroder
fuck those dirty disco (((sellouts))) desu
this grand old dame (if a little bit lesser figure than Sinatra and Ella) is also still laying down the jazz
the new album was a joke too. man this band was so awesome 3 years ago. what happened?
It's 19 more years until Chappell Roan is born. Enjoy it while it lasts.
I bet this guy is going to turn into a literal cuck hold who’s future wife fucks other guys
On WLRB Classic Oldies Radio--That was She Cried by Jay and the Americans. Say, whatever happened to those guys anyway?
I assume they're with The Four Preps and Roy Orbison playing at a carnival in Topeka in front of 12 people.
The lead singer was an Orthodox Jew who got expelled from yeshiva for listening to rock music kek
Roy Orbison
Oh no....
