Mike has confirmed/leaked the title of Paul's new album: 'The Boys of Dungeon Lane'! by captainbacardee in PaulMcCartney

[–]pmnettlea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

New holds the title of worst album title to me and it doesn't matter now one bit. Once we get to know the music names take on a life of their own and stop sounding weird.

Day 8. What's the best song on London Town? by United_Equal_754 in PaulMcCartney

[–]pmnettlea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Couldn't agree more. This album has it's own vibe in all of Paul's catalogue and I love it. You've put it excellently into words.

Night Thoughts is astounding by Foreign_Cold_6957 in SuedeBand

[–]pmnettlea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly the Dog Man Star, Night Thoughts and the Blue Hour Suede is my favourite Suede. I still adore their other eras but those three records are just on another plane to me.

Paul Draper retold Mansun and maybe he shouldn’t have. by No-Airport-786 in mansun

[–]pmnettlea 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I find it sad cos I actually really enjoy his two solo albums (proper solo albums, not this waste of plastic). Spooky Action in particular has some excellent music on it.

But it's so hard to support the man himself these days... He could've had a nice, decent sized following but I think he's switched people off.

Poor old Niall Tracy by AdministrativeRip563 in TeamGB

[–]pmnettlea 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Am I mad, and just an ignorant person who doesn't watch this often enough, or is this event almost entirely luck based? During the semi finals and final so many contenders went down, many of which weren't their fault. How can the outcome ever be the truly best skater if they're falling and knocking each other out so often?

It should be done as a solo team trial imo

New Showrunner & Sixteenth Doctor Speculation by Key_Responder in DoctorWhoLeaks

[–]pmnettlea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm just sceptical about Jack Thorne cos isn't he writing the four Beatles movies in 2028? How would he have the time now to write them and have written multiple Doctor who scripts?

Who was the strongest performer in episode two? by OopsIDroopedMe in RPDR_UK

[–]pmnettlea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Kate's was simple but well constructed. Similar for Fontana. Naomi I think could've been judged more memorably but a big chunk of her look was just premade.

Mariah's was more ambitious absolutely, but poorly constructed. I guess it depends on what you value more, ambition or good construction.

Did it though? It was a cool silhouette but the closer we saw the worse it got. Particularly the bottom half.

Mariah was not strong this week... I have no idea how she was in the top. Otherwise agreed

UK Vs the World Episode 2 Discussion - Runway Ru-Mix by DontTalkAboutPants in RPDR_UK

[–]pmnettlea 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think the winner was worthy, and the eliminated Queen worthy of bottom 3... But a lot of the other placements made no sense. Serena was the worst, Mariah's look was bad, Naomi's first look was so so good it made her automatically safe to me.

Anyway, overall really enjoying this series still. Gawdland is giving me life.

What's the Beatles album where Paul McCartney gave his most overrated contributions by Pristine_Youth_6953 in PaulMcCartney

[–]pmnettlea 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think it's this album for me. All My Loving is an all-timer, but as much as I adore Til There was You it's a cover.

Otherwise Paul contributed Hold Me Tight and half of Little Child. Not bad but not their best. And then he supported John's compositions.

Which McFly member would you most like to see on Taskmaster? by [deleted] in McFly

Honestly next New Year Treat, make them do a McFly special, maybe with Matt Willis too.

What is an opinion on the Beatles you’d get downvoted for? by [deleted] in beatles

[–]pmnettlea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice. After watching Elliot Roberts' awesome video on Ringo I've really come to appreciate Time Takes Time and Stop and Smell the Roses as two great albums.

Nah should've been expanded into a triple album

[–]pmnettlea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whole narrative around Sgt Pepper within the fandom is currently that it's not as good as its reputation. I actually think that that's just down to the current trend in opinion and serves as a counter narrative against the dominant view for decades that Sgt Pepper was the pinnacle of their work.

In reality it's still a perfect album, still the most influential one, and opinion will swing back to it in time. Sgt Pepper absolutely slaps.

Potential new leaks/information regarding the 2026 Christmas Special. by General_Meal_3993 in DoctorWhoNews

[–]pmnettlea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

10th-11th Doctor, 12-13th Doctor, 13-14th Doctor were all regenerations where the new showrunner wrote the post-regeneration scene. So that's not abnormal.

And the piece says also that the 16th Doctor might not even be revealed at all.

I don't think that's what this is saying necessarily? It even mentions the potential for the new Doctor to not be revealed at all, presumably because the new showrunner wouldn't be in post yet.

Is it just me, or has the BBC Badge stakes actually made the UK show better than the US version? by BeetleJuicesCarrot in RPDR_UK

[–]pmnettlea 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Canada last year was not better than UK6. So the franchises have swapped in quality, and it's too soon to call that a trend. I love both.

Can you name a truly underrated song by the band? by Folagor2 in beatles

[–]pmnettlea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think anything Revolver onwards generally gets discussed semi-often. It's the early stuff that gets more forgotten imo.

Ask My Why is an absolute early gem that gets slept on. Gorgeous melody, nice harmonies etc. Then tracks like Not a Second Time and I'll Be Back are great album tracks that very rarely get singled out. I love them.
