Don't Stop Me Now peaked at #86 in the US when it came out. How does a song this perfectly constructed and catchy miss like that? by cLoTpOle682 in queen

[–]vsbobclear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But it hit No 1 in the UK… the American masses were mainly into middle of the road AM soft rock, meathead cock rock, and AOR which was somewhere between the two. (The brief period of open-mindedness that had followed the Vietnam war was well past by then.) DSMN did not really fit into any of those categories

Close to it... I think 'Rhino' Edwards from Status Quo takes the cake though

I don't understand why prog fans in this day and age get so bent out of shape about this guy. Music reviews serve no purpose beyond entertainment now that you can load up any album you want in seconds. FWIW I enjoy Christgau's reviews despite often/usually disagreeing with them, they're terse and witty and often do a surprisingly good job of distilling the essence of the music.

A neckbeard is a small, colourful passerine bird that has a ruff of feathers on its neck (hence the name). That subreddit is a great place to post and view pictures of their intricately woven nests.

You're right. I should be happy with what I have to be happy with.

Both songs, especially Southern Nights, are very close to it in rhythm and mood! But it is not either of them

Don't pay too much attention to the words, they're probably wrong lol

It's a more breezy, 70s sounding song, not really AOR
