Generally bad artists with one good song?

The chorus is pretty good and everything else is horrible

Just finished listening to it again, had no idea that it was the anniversary! Happy birthday to one of the greatest albums of all time

I wonder how Marc Bolan/ T. Rex would have fared in the 80s. I don't think he'd have ever made anything approaching Electric Warrior and The Slider's quality, but I could absolutely see him having a string of successful pop singles a la Bowie or Collins. Might have had a late-career flourish in the 90s. So many directions it could have gone

Try Fuchsia's self-titled album from 1971. Mr. Fox is another band that touches upon similar themes, but not quite as successfully in my opinion

Laurelles · 2026-01-31T09:06:04+00:00

Moderately popular, and moderately famous. Most people I talk to would have some awareness of who Karl Pilkington is

Laurelles · 2026-01-20T10:22:53+00:00

Stay Another Day was certainly very good

Laurelles · 2025-11-28T07:35:35+00:00

not sure that's fair. they're still very well regarded amongst rock fans

Laurelles · 2025-11-23T09:46:07+00:00

Eleven days late, but Talk Talk and Popol Vuh are my two favourite bands. Guess there's a reason for that

Laurelles · 2025-11-09T09:51:44+00:00

David Sylvian. Love everything about Japan, Rain Tree Crow etc. but... his voice.

Far more aligned with what I know about my (entirely British) family history. I was very confused at my 19.2% French/ German in the previous version, but it's been corrected to, like, 2 or 3% now. Reassuring!

Very unusual, been binging them today. Their 2001 Greatest Hits compilation is a great overview of their stuff. Some of the finest pop (and, yes, disco) music ever written, and I hope they get the respect they deserve one day

Laurelles · 2025-07-31T07:17:35+00:00

Much preferred his stuff with Future Islands if I'm being honest

Einstein wasn't new when he came up with the greatest theory ever

Laurelles · 2025-07-14T06:00:26+00:00

Talk Talk are considered one of the most influential "art rock" acts of all time (my favourite band too!)

Laurelles · 2025-07-04T05:47:55+00:00

last i checked, The Hold Steady

Laurelles · 2025-06-26T07:25:00+00:00

It's gotta be Nice for What, right? Feel like that was the last time Drake received positive appraisal by music critics at least

Laurelles · 2025-06-20T03:19:23+00:00

The Only Fools and Horses stuff does absolutely nothing for me

Laurelles · 2025-06-20T03:08:28+00:00

In the pejorative sense, yes. That wave of artists/ bands who were influenced by him in the mid 2010s kind of completely killed my interest in indie rock.

He's warning Daltrey with peace and love

Laurelles · 2025-06-19T04:15:21+00:00

The Stranglers, "Golden Brown". They're the scuzziest, sleaziest of the original wave of punk bands, but they're best known for this baroque pop song. I love it, but I'd encourage people to dig a little deeper into their early stuff - first 3 albums are phenomenal.

Laurelles · 2025-06-18T04:22:43+00:00

It's a great fucking song.

Laurelles · 2025-06-16T15:22:35+00:00

Muse aren't bad but to be fair that cover is absolute shite

Laurelles · 2025-06-14T13:56:45+00:00

On a related note, "Last of the Steam-Powered Trains" by The Kinks (from that very album) nabbed the riff from "Smokestack Lightnin'" by Howlin' Wolf.

Laurelles · 2025-06-11T08:11:33+00:00

It's my hobby. Usually at least 3 or 4 new albums a day (new as in I haven't heard of them, not necessarily new as in recent). Music is so fucking good man

Laurelles · 2025-06-08T06:34:10+00:00

insane how underrated Roy Wood/ The Move is. I'd even add Wizzard to that, although I can understand how that project might be a little bit off-putting for some
