KISS (Official Thread)
Re: The Official KISS Thread! It's really weird in that deep down inside I feel I SHOULD be into Kiss. It's good old American Hard Rock, why shouldn't I like them?<----is what I ask myself. I remember when the first Kiss Alive album came out and Kiss really bloomed in popularity. I thought...- starman

Underrated bands of the 80's
Not me cup of tea. Sorry. I'm just a very anti early m-tv sort of guy. I did like liquid television however. It's a funny thing really. I have a very broad vista of musical tastes, but the ONE thing that has always turned me off to anything art related is commercialism. My wife is a huge retro...- starman

Was punk necessary?
You are both partly right. In part, Punk Rock was Nihilistic. In part it was purely rebellious. You have to remember that "Punk Rock" was originally this huge umbrella that many bands got lumped under because of the scenes and fashions they were participating within. Bands like the Sex...- starman

Underrated bands of the 80's
Hey MR. Grendel. Didn't see you on here for a while. Glad you are OK. I think Todd Rundgren did some pretty amazing stuff in the 80s. Of course he has always been an under appreciated cult figure. I actually loath the USA 80s as being the most uncreative and commercialized aspect in the time...- starman

Mountain (Official Thread)
Re: Mountain One of the funniest stories I have ever heard came from Lemmy Kilmister's autobiography called White Line Fever. He states that once while at some boring, stuffy social event, he, West and his guitarist Wurzel snuck off to get some air and wound up in a bathroom for a little nose...- starman

KISS (Official Thread)
Re: The Official KISS Thread! You know, I have tried to get into Kiss several times during my lifetime. I even recently went out and purchased their Walmart double disc. Their music has just never done anything for me. It just doesn't seem to groove. It has nothing to do with the musicianship...- starman

Most overrated rock artists of all time?
What would be cool is to find out who you feel exactly should have been rated as equal to, or above those bands/artists that was not. If you could go back an rewrite history, who would you substitute in place of those three and why?- starman

Most overrated rock artists of all time?
Personally, I never understood the whole GNR thing. Axle sounds like he is singing out of one nostril and the music is OK, but nothing too special. ...but all in all, isn't the whole over rated thing about those being popular when we (as in whoever) are thinking they don't deserve the...- starman

Most overrated rock artists of all time?
^^I more or less group Elvis Costello with Joe Jackson. New Wave pop crafters. Had a few decent tunes but more or less a weak over all output IMO. I will say that both had killer bass players early on.- starman

Most overrated rock artists of all time?
I like Inxs, IMO Journey were a killer sage Rock music writing team consisting of INCREDIBLY talented musicians. However, I absolutely cannot stand listening to their later/last period corporate FM radio overplay. The overplay is what ruined Journey's later catalog for me. You would be surprised...- starman

Thread Closed What Are You Listening To?
Re: What are you listening to vol 3. I love these guys. I remember about 15-16 years ago there was this music (record/cd) shop that used to get tons of these radio station promo cds with the magic marker Xs all over them. They would have big totes sitting on the floor under the regular racks...- starman

I'd pretty much go with the above a thousand percent. The following is my opinion based on observation. Art is subjective. What exists prior to it's definition as art is work or effort. Q: Why is it then that when we go to a museum, if it contains paintings, skulptures, etc., is it...- starman

Was punk necessary?
But you DID and ARE. You are judging those "jumping on the band wagon". That's an individual introspective projection. If you want to get down to the mundane, it's what is referred to as a "straw man". And the answer is that art is ALWAYS internal. Our interpretation of an artist's efforts...- starman

S&L you have really went out a limb here. What music genres exactly are you referring to? How can we read other's minds? This exemplifies passion, this does not? If, as I believe it was you that stated, all music is a form of art, is art not completely subjective interpretively speaking...- starman

If anything were actually different than what ACTUALLY happened, none of us would be here right now.

There is a great deal to be appreciated within the classics, but like you, there is just some things I cannot tolerate. It's all in articulating why. That's the only fun part of what you don't like. Y59k7AX9AKM- starman
