Better.

I did have old Hugh himself up as my pic for a while before changing him to the Caymans man in response to the heatwave of 2019.

This is one of the best songs of the 1980’s.

Rappers are being voted out on the Hurt/Heal thread because their music encourages knife crime 

[Chapple12345]

Latitude  is a vastly overlooked and underappreciated festival 

[JSmurphy]

Random Access Memories is an underappreciated album.

Saxophones are dirt. 

To counter this:

A completely shite song can be turned in to a 10 by throwing a saxophone solo in to the middle of it.

@eFestivals bring back the upvotes.

Hard agree. They’re pretty decent live as well.

There has never been a better “Now That’s What I Call Music” than volume 10.

Couple of a theme;

People who say the Stone are better than The Beatles either haven't listened beyond the contents of the '1' album or are just being willfully obtuse.

Let It Be is the 5th best Beatles album

The Horrors vs Girls Aloud

Truly the Stones Vs Beatles debate of my generation.

All accordions should be lobbed onto fucking space I hate the bastards, they're stupid and big and sound rank.

I agree. Not the worst instrument ever invented, but top five.

'Africa' by Toto is shite and it's surge in popularity in recent years is because it's became a meme rather than the quality (or lack of it) of the track itself.

Don't think this is massively controversial on this board, but Mumford & Sons, Bastille, and the other 'posh boys playing folk' are some of the worst things to ever happen to music and need to be fired into the heart of the sun.

Even less controversial, but for the record the actual only thing worse than Mumfords/etc. is bro country.

[SwedgeAntilles]

Once the novelty factor wears off both Folklore and Evermore are distinctly average records (albeit with some high points on each).

Aye. Definitely my jungian archetype of a NTWICM album.

[priest17]

Music is better than ever and whenever anyone asks which decade I'd rather grow up in for the music I always say 100 years in the future.

You can adore The Beatles' consistency, breadth and depth whilst still preferring to fuck with the slew of unstoppable belters that Stone and the lads produced, particularly between Beggars Banquet and Exile.

[maelzoid]

Bob Dylan is way overrated!

I can appreciate he has written some great songs but...

His singing is shite.

his harmonica playing is even worse.

He hasn’t altered his approach to songwriting since the mid sixties, relying on simple chord progressions, predictable melodies and basic structures.

He has never acknowledged any musical developments either in style or technology since the sixties.

His live shows are often drab despite him touring nonstop.

It's just men shouting. And it's misogynistic.

Idles have churned out nothing but shouty, tuneless crud.

True.........and that is why I love them.

Im listening to them at the moment.

We need more shouty, tuneless crud rather than some of the polished, bland stuff that many seem to drool over.

[waltere]

The "everyone has do to a cover" thing in the live lounge is garbage and has produced about three interesting versions in total ever
