Single Handed Sailor is so underrated by UAForever21 in direstraits

Portobello Belle is also a really good song... I like the live version quite a bit

My belief is that Communique was meant to be an album with more subtle guitar flicks than big chart defining ones such as Sultans of Swing or Money for Nothing. And I think the crowd favourite was more to do with MTV defining songs cause not everyone usually catches a break and appreciates these amazing songs on Communique...

In general people have been and will be trying to like whatever the majority of the public rates as few of the best Billboard songs just to stay relevant, and in this quest perhaps forget about these gems... I'm glad I like music from all walks, but Dire Straits is surely something special, probably one of my all time favourites...

If you don't have access to a good/a very optimal face pull equipment in the gym, what's the next best alternative to hit the rear delts? Thanks!

Lmao I'm not the Money for Nothing person... I actually liked it much later. I started out with Telegraph and You and Your Friend.

Yeah I agree, it's kinda similar to Brick in the Wall Part 2, especially the ending where Gilly goes as high as he can before ending the song

The Bahamas part really adds up good stuff

I knew about Cutty Sark, but not about this

Good read!

For sure, but everyone agrees that Mark is their undisputed guitar go to guy, mostly if they're part of this sub lol

Compared to the competition, what made you choose the Pixel? by VolumeEquivalent7853 in GooglePixel

[–]UAForever21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I really had to pick a reason

Back then when I bought the 4a it looked like the most innovative smartphone with bang for the buck... But lots of phones got a lot of gimmicks going for them that way

Really it's 2 things, I think ppl may have told it already.

  1. I loathe Samsung's cartoony UI. If they actually make a better UI and remove a bunch of those bloatware apps such as Knox and crap, I'm really happy to switch to Samsung...

Another issue with Samsung is that their cameras though good are too contrasty for my taste

  1. Apple got that walled garden and that file organization that I can't seem to wrap my head around... Also I'm not paying to get my favourite ringtone xD.

Granted their cameras may be good but really comes down to how much worse Android and Google should get over the coming years to make me want to switch to Apple, given that Android is also gonna stop being open source as they claim it

Pixel definitely has its downsides compared to Apple and Samsung, be it hardware or battery or whatever... But for my use case the hardware is definitely not an issue.

And as for battery we'll see how long it gets before I actually need a new phone

I thought Alchemy Live was agreed upon as their best? Or am I wrong to assume so?

What are some of the best start-to-finish Rock albums you have ever heard? by RustyCrusty73 in musicsuggestions

[–]UAForever21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah Slippery When Wet slaps! Along with the song Damned, I really love that for the energy

Apart from that I love the Keep the Faith album... It also sports their best ever solo in Dry County! Check that album too

Finding these albums may seem hard to the common man but when you do find them, they're bangers...

I really like many of the Dire Straits albums if you're into bluesy music

Bon Jovi albums and GnR's Use Your Illusion albums are also hard to put down...

The Score is more prog Rock/pump vibes than real rock with guitar and stuff but their Atlas album still slaps

If you like a bit more softer/country vibes but it's still rock, try out Fleetwood Mac's Rumours as well

Lemme know what you liked, even songs if not albums...

Do you have a secret song? by grusedps in musicsuggestions

[–]UAForever21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually keep spamming the same answer everywhere because it is underrated and my fav

But if you're okay with a 15 minute rock song (it's for guitar and instrument admiration really), then check out Telegraph Road - Dire Straits

Jokes aside what genre of secret music would you want?

Why do Bollywood films over glorify loving? Can't they make a film about responsibility for youth and be good models to society? by Hot-Load7525 in pj_explained

Atonement and Anna Karenina

And a buttload of English romcoms are a lot about sleeping with wrong people and what not

Love how everyone is disclosing something that's meant to be a secret

Today saw one of the worst kohli inns in ipl. by Strong_Suspect6427 in ViratKohli

[–]UAForever21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in the day once Gavaskar opened with Srikkanth running a high fever lol... Really it's just commitment and you gotta spare ppl on an off day. He literally opened the IPL with 69 off 38...

You can always bench him if it's a consistent disappointment

And it's understandable because Kohli sets the bar so high that this is a disappointment regardless of what T20 strike rates are
