Somebody help me...

Post by Sunstreaker2 »

...I've become addicted to the Talking Heads.

Is there a cure?
No longer looking for RID Dreadwind, but I still need Smokejumper. I'm also in need of Mammoth Nemesis Prime's tail piece, as my figure lacks it. Send me a PM.

Burn down the house, take the ashes to the river, put some sugar on your tongue, then run to the building that's over there, yes over there.

Or you could listen to some of their later stuff which is sadly awful at times.

What do you mean by later?

Like, post 1983?

As I recall, just about everything after the first couple songs on disc 2 of "Sand in the Vaseline". (OK, checked the track listing, and the first 6 are still good.)

Become addicted to the Bee Gees.

Of course, some cures ARE worse than the disease....

Yeah, slag off the Bee Gees. Easy target. How many number 1 records have you written? How many units have you shifted, across multiple decades, to multiple generations and demographics? How many genres have you defined?

How does posting a link to someone else' opinion back up the argument exactly?

It doesn't, but taking a random pop at the BeeGees is pretty cliche, isn't it? I only really like the disco stuff (disco is not dead, it is life!), but the rest of it can be handily filed under "not my thing" rather than "terrible".

It's an article I agree with which makes the point better than I can. I prefer to actually give other people credit for their words rather than just parroting it and pretending it's my opinion.

It also backs up the "defined a genre" point. Linking to a published article by a respected journalist in the field counts as "citing sources."

I don't mind the BeeGees', John Travolta isn't their fault and without them we wouldn't have the 50000% awesome Steps cover of Tragedy. Don't pretend you don't love it.

Oh, you lose at least 5 points for that.

I lived through the 70s.

Disco was something you either liked or didn't like.

And, frankly, my Saturday night fever broke rather quickly.
