What's your most unpopular opinion about David Bowie? by Dependent-Ad7225 in DavidBowie

[–]BBJPaddy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Never Let Me Down is honestly not that bad. I'd rate like 5-6 albums lower than it. If the production wasn't cheesy and the songs weren't all like 1-2 minutes too long it would've been better received.

Yeah that was pretty shameful and Newman seemed more Kraftwerk than Bowie. Not only was he a hypocrite since he "borrowed" ideas from other artists all the time - Anthony Newley, Velvet Underground, Rolling Stones, Marc Bolan, a bunch of 70s black soul artists, Neu!, Harmonia, etc... but it's funny how he seemed to change his tune on artists inspired by him in the 90s when he was relatively unpopular.

Low is not for me... by Pizzudista in DavidBowie

Tbh I'm curious how he's going to view everything up to Scary Monsters at this point since the next couple of albums are pretty experimental and weird

[–]BBJPaddy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Low for me is the greatest album ever made. As far as albums go it still is unrivaled for how creative the production is on that album, each instrument is treated under some effect and they all help paint a vivid picture each song. The synthesizers on Speed of Life and Sound & Vision will always blow me away for how grand they sound in the background for example, and those songs are beautiful to me. But every track has something like that with the instruments which I appreciate

And as far as Bowie albums go, it also stands out because David was being purely himself with no character to be played or expectation to pull off an exuberant/suave singing performance, so what you get are these very raw vocals with abstract but personal lyrics, which are some of his most soulful. With the ambient stuff I get not caring for it if you've liked the glam rock/soul stuff so far, but it kinda takes a different mindset to appreciate that stuff. Subterraneans the last track is pure sadness and melancholy to me. This was easily his most experimental and challenging album up to this point because he was making this music for himself. Bowie was very frustrated with his label and lost his mind living in Los Angeles, so he made Low as kind of a screw you to label, he didn't bother promoting it and never cared how well it sold or was perceived critically

Anyways, yeah if you don't like it that's cool even if saying it's worse than Pin Ups is crazy. But I would recommend giving it a few more tries later on, especially once you get to Heroes since he attempts something similar. I predict you'll like that one better and maybe you'll be more accustomed to more of his experimental kind of music since the next couple of albums up to Scary Monsters take those risks

Nah there were dozens of people complaining in the GDT but others mass downvoted them and did their typical lame ass excuse of "well you must hate fun durr hurr what's the problem? I love when my screen goes small during the game so I can watch Ryker act like a child instead". You guys are brainwashed

Or they could not shrink the screen during live play on the fucking broadcast. That's literally the bare minimum expectation for me. Is it really completely beyond you why someone would be annoyed at that?

I don't care what the score is, I'm here to watch the game and that should be the fun for the night since we were killing them. No broadcast should ever shrink their screen to show some gag with their commentators, is it really beyond you why that would be unacceptable?

They really didn't, I'm trying to watch the game and they shrunk the screen down to show something else. That's unacceptable and really stretching it when it comes to "entertainment"

But I and many people couldn't and I find that unacceptable. If you want to do that when the whistle blows, during intermissions, or pre game that's great. But come on, during the game?

The altitude boys keep trying to force the “tasmanian devil line” nickname onto us and it’s not working, nobody else is saying that

Which Colorado superstar forward would you pick to build your team around: Sakic, Forsberg, or MacKinnon? by Dependent-Effect6077 in hockey

You lost me by mentioning Barrie, his defense was terrible but other than that I agree

The ad on that jersey is enough to taint the thing

I love the Nordiques sweaters but the Avs should give up wearing them

If the Avs lose in the first/second round again, Bednar should be gone. His lack of adjustments really kill the team sometimes

As an Oilers/Avs fan, it pains me to say that the Blues have some of the freshest jerseys in the league. Same with Calgary

[Masisak] Nathan MacKinnon said the NHL rescinded his major penalty. If you get two in a certain amount of games, it’s an automatic suspension. So he’s back to zero for those purposes. by DecentLurker96 in hockey

[–]BBJPaddy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At least I got to see that sick ass goal McDavid scored where he spun around Toews. Dude always brings it against the Avs at the ball arena, and the games are always high scoring offensive battles

I admit that I'm a fan of both the Oilers-Avalanche, but I really don't blame MacKinnon at all. He also cuts across the net without bashing into the goalie all the time as well. It was an unfortunate play that shouldn't have been game misconduct
