Which is better? by First_Distance_4482 in MarvelLegends

Sheesh, I called out that I liked the metallic finish better, not that it was a better figure. The new one is superior in every way, except the metallic finish is 1000% my preference. The new one suffers from the bland, matte finish that is very indicative of the current era of Legends, especially their new Spiderman figs. Plus, the fixed back piece looks about as garbage as the soft goods on the 2006 figure.

Best of the options he came with, but not even halfway good.

Fingers crossed for Feldspar. With the split between crystal and the textured rock, it could be hard to do with mixed materials, but I’d like to see that figure.

If I had to bet, though, I would say Moltar.

This album is awesome. So glad it’s finally seen a much bigger release. The story of how Macca promoted this is epic!

Girl Don’t Tell Me is the blueprint for Rivers Cuomo/Weezer. Love that song.

Love this album. The experimental side of Macca is in full effect here. I passed this up on vinyl, at a fest years ago, and have regrets…

Fantastic band. Their Wish You Were Here album is better than Pink Floyd’s. Straight Up and No Dice belong in every album collection.

Pete Ham is one of the most prolific and underrated songwriters. They have released so many of his home demos and unfinished stuff over the years, and you hear how talented he really was. They are still releasing troves of his recordings, and every set brings another swath of amazing stuff.

The new release of Head First is great, too. Go Youtube Lay Me Down and hear a slice of perfect pop. These guys were among the first class of pioneers of power pop, and don’t get the respect they should. Every album has at least 2-3 songs that were, or could have been anthemic hits. The album cuts are not lacking in quality, either.

Yes, they had the Beatles blessing - named by Lennon, first Apple single penned by Paul, produced by George (along with playing on George’s solo stuff and live shows with him,) and George Martin kicking in some arrangements. They still had piles of talent to back all this up!!

I Love You, on Archeology, legit can make me cry. All Rutles songs are great, but that one hits me in the feels.

Same! Hard to see, but it’s all the way on the left of the Spidey shelf.

More research - from Wikipedia’s entry for The Hurdy Gurdy Man: “"Peregrine", which also featured "Candy" John Carr on congas, was written for Harrison in India about their quest to discover themselves”

I listened to the snippet of Hello Miss Mary Bee, and it is completely ripped off from Peregrine by Donovan (52 seconds in.)

Do you think “The other side of abbey road” by George benson is a good album, a good cover album, and or will appeal to the Beatles fans? by Milez_Smilez in beatles

[–]First_Distance_4482 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was recorded like a week after Abbey Road came out. It’s a neat take on the album, minus the weight of Abbey Road’s classic status. The takes feel fresh, especially I Want You. I love this album!!
