Frankly Mr Shankly Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 (edited) Queen are the most overrated band in history & Freddie wasn't a great frontman, he was cringey. Phoebe Bridgers is trash. ABBA wrote better songs than the Beatles. Edited February 15, 2021 by Frankly Mr Shankly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TKOCF Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 Coldplay’s later music is far better than their earlier music (except Paradise, that song sucks) Thom’s solo work outside Radiohead is so mediocre Twisted Wheel were one classic song away from being the new Arctic Monkeys Black Midi & Black Country, New Road are the future of rock music (not really a hot take just thought it need saying again) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listening to garbage like that when I was a kid made me get into punk. Hearing Thundercat and Badbadnotgood now makes me feel the same way. Awful! But steely Dan are so smooth. Hard agree on BadBadNotGood though, one of the worst things I’ve ever seen at Glastonbury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to tell you you're wrong but am now interested in your opinion of what makes a great frontman? If it's not having the crowd in the palm of your hand, what isn't? Side bar: Freddie was the 3rd best frontman I've seen. However, Abba were shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funkyfairy! Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 Most Jazz is dreadful, musicians all playing a different tune to each other, clubs full of pretentious individuals giving it the 'jazz nod' towards the out of tune musicians .... and therefore I found Soul as a disney movie a problem to my eardrums .....

For me personally I don't like the constant interuptions or the annoying 'ay-oh' crowd interaction shtick, I find it distracting and as I said, cringey. I appreciate a lot of people do like it, that's great, but it's not my bag. For me, a good frontman shouldn't detract from the band or the songs, which is what Freddie did.

Fair do's but isn't someone who doesn't detract from the band just a member of the band rather than a frontman? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah on reflection that was a poor choice of words. But, I stand by my point that Freddie was cringey. He came across to me like he always had a rehearsed routine that he shoved into every song & just made it about himself.

You know he only did the day-oh crowd interaction stuff once a gig? Maybe it's had too much focus since he died, but it didn't comprise the whole gig.
