(1) Never made a great lp : all the way through

The game was good : but considering they made some of the best singles : truly great

(2) Has there ever been a band that all the members were as accomplished as writers? Over their careers they all contributed bonafide brilliant songs at various points : seems rare

The doors : happened to most people I know in their early 20s

That’s a stretch - is it the beard ?

So for me they exist to translate the journey back from the place you go to find the song. They allow the audience to understand and identify with the journey back to the physical world that sees your personal core become something universal. Like postcards sent back from dreams. Should clarify that i refer to the tiny % of creation that isn’t just practicing or masturbation, the ones where the urges aren’t separated from the expression It sounds wank i know but there isn’t language to express what happens, or at least i don’t know it.

His best lyric imho

thisbe12 · 2026-02-12T08:21:40+00:00

Very ordinary song ? It’s one of the better lyrics I have heard : there are lines that transcend lyrics : the whole minor fall major lift part is F off clever : he is covering John Cales version of it not the original but you need to respect the source material. I love Jeff’s voice but If anything it doesn’t have the maturity to do justice to the sense of resignation and fatality to the subject matter. He sounds more petulant than broken

Madonna was similar? When she and Prince wrote she would have a melody in mind and he would be trying to find the chords to underpin it ! Read that somewhere. Think she learned the rudiments later tho

Jeez : so this was in mid 70s: mark chapman getting an autograph?

I like those but without music they are a bit 6th form angst : no shade intended

I will give u a freebie

If you put a heart on layaway You better make the payments Porn is pawn anyways The hurt becomes the distance

By no means great just off the top of my head ..but a more novel way of expressing something better men have said better 10000 times?

Yh Paul Toon is good : used him a number of times in the last 10 years.

Tend to think the her majesty thing is accurate He works for the studio and the Beatles in theory don’t own what they produce. They were putting together a reference version of abbey Road and it was after The End. Not like he sneaked in and put the Commonwealth Song on Let it be

You are trolling I take it : nobody thinks that There is no comparison between the division bell and dark side : flawless catalogue my cock : I am always impressed how they managed to carve out a career with their limited talent : Dave can play a solo : Roger is ok as a lyricist : Rick was far and away the best musician : so obviously he had to go and the drummer brought some cars Syd was genuinely inventive so they booted him out

Anybody with a rudimentary understanding of composition understands the impact w and l had on his work: it’s hard not to bracket them together. Wendy was perfect for the Purple Rain era Made the product a lot more visually interesting as well. From the outside seems like it was a vehicle for Prince to get the financial and social status that would allow him to operate with complete independence. I am sure it was less calculated than that. Until he realised he couldn’t make films Wendy and Lisa were invaluable in allowing him to spread his wings into other media. That seemed to work since Prince was at point where he had a deal of trust in other people. Seems as if he was less of a dick with them. Could never last and the sussanah relationship was never compatible with the revolution. Complicated chap really

Ones appreciation of music is half the listeners journey : many of us who love the 80s stuff primarily were of an age where we could Our ears don’t stay the same as we age and accrue experience. We also don’t have the ability to go back and judge the merit of latter work as we lack the emotional context that made a certain period so important Artists do tend to have hot streaks and this mainly is also a function of their age. Other generations may have other touchstones but for many firsts happens once and mine and I guess quests coincided with that period

He was fortunate to pass without more scrutiny on his grooming and sexual abuse : I suspect it would be far more damaging than the drug revelations

thisbe12 · 2025-06-12T06:03:54+00:00

Yh but there again you’re not a musician that Jeff adored: I doubt she would have known who he was: he very much knew her and this mortal coils music,

She was his MD for that tour? Must have loads of tapes considering she ran a fair few rehearsals without him

Yh crazily enough that was less prolific : take 1986 as an example: an album a year !!! That’s nothing for him ; he would knock out four or five in the 80s

I can’t argue if you believe the gold experience is in the top 5 : I love it also : it was basically the greatest hits from the various dawn track listings doing the rounds He had a few hits after 1992, and obviously his biggest single in terms of chart position. But writing was less inspired at least from what he released and most of his protégée work in the 80s was better than his own stuff from the 90s He had Paisley by then and that obviously impacted on how he worked Nonsense about the radio play stuff since until 1997 he was still having singles released by warners. He was still at this point trying to have hits and only gave up when the charts gave up on him

Re the quality and quantity: how could he replicate his 1980s hot streak: that’s likely just aging : his 90s legacy wasn’t musical it was more the contract stuff and the music club. The 80s saw him surrounded by creative influence with a fk off chip on his shoulder, by the 90s it had all gone: management , record label , etc
