@salacious-crumb Of course I have.
Let's just say that the singing from the likes of Lou Reed, Bob Dylan and Neil Young, to name 3 artists, is an acquired taste.
I'm imagining when Bob finallly pops his clogs that the wank Facebook posts will be nauseating, just as they were when the equally bad Lou Reed died.
I think he's a fucken terrible artist and cannot for the life of me see why anyone would like him.
I do like Neil Young though, he's done some genuine bangers.

Dylan was at least very influential, Lou Reed ? Yeah nah .

The velvets influenced a couple of people..
They sort of started punk didn’t they? They top the list of bands I thought were cool when I was 14 I cannot stand now.

They influenced some of the people who went on to make punk. Much more of a varied influence than just punk though.
Bowie was a massive fan for instance and said Lou changed the way he wrote lyrics.In any 'alt' rock genre of the last half century you'll find a lot of people who claim they were influenced by the velvets. It's so common its a cliche.. that's why I thought it was a strange angle to attack Reed on
He is divisive though.. I get that. Plenty of people can't stand him

Listening to a lot of a band i somehow completely missed in the 90s. This whole album is very good.

I always thought they were more thrash, based solely on the band name.
me too!

Definitely the best song I've ever heard about fishing......look fast for cameos by James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett on the boat.
Primus sure are a weird band but those a three absolutely wicked musos right there, none more so by Les Claypool, trying to place him in my all time top ten bass players sure is tough but he's unique and awesome that's for sure.

Mariner's favourite song of the week. Bit of a change in pace from Corrosion of Conformity below
Catchy track.
Somehow reminds me of the soundtrack to the Friday Night Lights movie (which i fucking love)
-
@mariner4life That song is very familiar. No idea how I know it though.
I was never a big fan of the movie, thought it was just ok, but conversely was a huge fan of the tv series.

Spun up some Jimmy Eat World while on the Google Musics and after going back through the two singles that were hits here in the
90searly noughties (Sweetness and The Middle) this came on. It is long, and starts out a bit weird, but by fuck that section from around 5 minutes rocks like a mofo.TIGHT harmonies and music throughout their discography, I might add. Got that balance of west coast influence pop-rock from the 90s, but they're from Arizona so bring somewhat of a different flavour.

The Middle is an absolutely top draw pop rock track.
Cracker of a video too
