hmm, one hit wonder means that they weren't able to follow up early success and their other work faded into popular oblivion
nikki_
one hit wonder to me means they only had one hit, not several
nechto13
what song did they have that was ranked high on the charts other than Better Off Alone?
nikki_
will I ever
nikki_ sings to herself, will I ever fall in love, and if I do will it be with you
nechto13
well in that case you could also say that Back in My Life was also a hit since it was 4th place on UK charts :)
nikki_
probably
but will I ever is the one I can actually rememebr the tune to
nechto13
i think they would be qualified as one hit wonders in other countries where their other releases didn't make the charts. and US is a other country. although i don't care for US charts they are usually crowded with local pop crud
russian pop is also crud, for the most part :-(
nikki_
al pop is
all.
nechto13
that's not true there is good pop that doesn't get much air play
nikki_
I meant all pop, not just russian pop in that senteice
hmm, lag
Shepard
pop that doesn't get much air play? isn't this like against the definition?
nechto13
nah
like Aderbat, Harvey Danger, the Vegetables, Nada Surf, New Pornographers
so on
Shepard
this list did not help me at all because of course i don't know any of them :)
nechto13
that's because they don't get much airplay i can give you something to listen
how about Sufjan Stevens, Hot Hot Heat, Maktub, The Unicorns, The Travoltas, or Common Rider?
Shepard
nada :)
nechto13
Bling Kong, Papercuts, Rogue Wave, The Lovekevins, 33Hz, Dar Williams, Zolof the Rock & Roll Destroyer, Sunset Valley, Danny Cohen?
Shepard
forget it, I'm not in pop :P

chocomo
I was away :(
nechto13
hi mo
SenRepus
hi nechto
nechto13
Shepard: in that case, i can post some links so you can listen to some of the artists i mentioned
Sheparrd: yeah, i think i have an idea. how about i give you a link to where you can find songs performed by all of the groups i mentioned and you can pick what you want to listen to?
Shepard
*shrugs*
nechto13
here you go http://mp3jackpot.com/ and you can listen to any genre there not necessarily pop
but they don't have a lot of metal though
Muti_

Shepard
nechto13: do you have a last.fm page, too?

HairMetalAddict deletes everything by Metallica post-1990 while noone's looking
l8nite
time for work, 2:15am, woot
be back later
l8nite has left the channel
slaad has quit
juhae
HairMetalAddict: That's nothing to be ashamed of
In fact, it's the only sensible thing anyone can do
mustaqil
Agreed.
juhae
Although apparently the Metallica documentary is worth watching
srotta
Hmm. I've never been a fan of their earlier work.
mustaqil
For shits and giggles though?
juhae
Where they're recording the s/t black album and Lars gets all pissy because he can't play drums :)
Yes, of course
srotta
Although I'm not fan of their later work either, so maybe that explains it.
mustaqil
Haha Lars is a moron
juhae
And apparently a really crappy drummer :D
mustaqil
Metallica aren't that great, they just had hype, and still do :\ But eitherway, their new stuff is atrocious, and it's still possible to miss out on their later stuff
*earlier stuff
juhae
Some time ago, I met a chick who was about to go get "Metallicas logo" tattoed on her arm
Of course, she didn't even mean the old logo
Since she only knows their 1990's work.
That's just sad.
mustaqil
:(
HairMetalAddict pisses off Metallica fans to: Megadeth ~ Blackmail the Universe [from "The System Has Failed" (2004)]
'tis a sad day for humanity indeed
juhae
HairMetalAddict: Surprisingly good album from Megadeth
mustaqil
Megadeth's Rust in Piece dealy was good
juhae
Considering what kind of crap Mustaine had been churning out before that one :P
Yup, it's their 80's stuff that's still the best
mustaqil
Hetfield can't sing either
At all
He can whine and sound constipated, but sing... no.
HairMetalAddict
"Ooooh, I gotta take a dump. Yeeeah! Every other line I say Yeeah. Yeeeah!"
juhae
At least Mustaine more or less still snarls to the classic "80's thrashmetal"-style ;)
"Yaaa, and the chorusline ends with a yeee-ha-haa"
mustaqil
What I find sad is how people idolise the uitar solos in Metallica, many of them are rather half-assed or shite
*guitar
juhae
It's sad in the same category as idolizing the guitar work of Yngwie Malmsten
mustaqil
"Oh he's the best and so fast!!!21121"
juhae
Half-assed and/or shite
Or Stratovarius' Timo Tolkki for the matter, but at least he said "I can play so fast it doesn't even make any sense anymore" in one interview
Even I can play so fast it doesn't make any sense, does that mean I should be idolized too? :D
HairMetalAddict
I can... er... increase the play speed on my MP3s so Dave Mustaine sounds like a chipmunk...
juhae & Devil Doll - Mr. Doctor
mustaqil
Haha juhae, strangely enough I have Strato on this very moment
Old school strato without Kotipelto though :P
juhae
I really didn't care of Strato until they started the PR craziness a year or so ago
