and you certainly don't need to listen to crap, even if you restrict yourself to non-riaa-signed bands
JordanC
Oh, but there's plenty of crap out there
JordanC points to Linkin Park
FauxFaux points at aCiD2's collection.
XD
Meow
aCiD2
I have no Linkin Park -_-
JordanC
Good, cause they are very bad indeed
because*
srotta
LotR: Yeah right!
FauxFaux has five Linkin Park albums. ¬_¬
JordanC
Every time I watch MTV, they're always going on about how they're like the Rolling Stones or something
FauxFaux mysteriously fixes replication. o/
Their first 3 albums were just garbage
alastairp
ohnoes
JordanC
:P
alastairp
i'm out of manuscript!
srotta
JordanC: Sounds like Rolling Stones all right.
JordanC
JordanC: Linkin Park sounds like Rolling stones?
srotta
JordanC: Now 22 more and they are identical.
LotR
srotta: I don't know your taste in music, so I can't recommend anything..
JordanC
Oh, you were talking about the first Rolling Stones albums
srotta: What would you say was the best album released?
srotta
JordanC: Anywhere, anytime, by anyone?
JordanC
Just as a gauge to see if you're not like, a midget-retro-avant-techno-folk-punk-shamisen fan :P
LotR
JordanC: you have an answer for that yourself? I wouldn't be able to choose.
JordanC
srotta: Well, one that springs to mind
Yeah, good answer
I've not really got one album I could say was better than others
Okay, what about the best album of last year?
srotta
JordanC: Well, much of the music I listen is Finnish so those names probably wouldn't mean anything to you 8)
JordanC
Which form of genre, srotta?
srotta
JordanC: But if I had to pick one, Let It Be springs to mind.
LotR
I'd probably pick one by PJ Harvey if I was pressed
JordanC
See, that's interesting
srotta
One foreign, that is.
Or Queen's Jazz.
JordanC
The Beatles?
srotta
Yes.
JordanC
Well, that's not too shabby
Rolling Stones have decent songs, but their albums are kinda
srotta
I don't know why I like Jazz, Queen certainly has better albums, but that seems to be the one I listen to most often.
JordanC
Meh, I couldn't say - I like the Rolling Stones
I like Jazz, srotta
But, Linkin Park deserves it's own genre
Shit-crap
srotta
With Rolling Stones, I'm more of a Greatest Hits man. I've listened probably all of their albums, several times, but I can't find enough decent material there.
FauxFaux
The fact that they have multiple albums suggestes that your argument is flawed.
LotR
bah. linkin park isn't *that* bad. they have a great song which they keep repeating
JordanC
They don't have any great songs, they have many great repetitons of the same backing and style with poor and extremely pretentious lyrics
They're white suburban dudes who watch anime and probably the worst thing that happened to them is they filed a bad tax receipt
srotta: Meh, I've never liked Greatest Hits albums
I tend to not get those kinda things :/
luks joined the channel
FauxFaux
Hi luks!
srotta
JordanC: Yeah, but I'm too lazy to go through the whole Rolling Stones catalog and select the ones I like myself :P
JordanC
I don't do that either
I don't pick songs from an album then discard the rest, I listen to the album rather than 2 songs or something like that
I've listened to her first album, I guess the second one is better.
JordanC giggles at Muz
JordanC
Hey, you know for the "Release #"
Whereabouts would you get that info from? The CD itself, or the artist website .. or ?
Muz
srotta, Anna Abreu too is a guilty pleasure. Far better than Ari Koivunen ;)
srotta
Muz: That's true.
LotR
JordanC: either the CD or the label website IME
JordanC
Thanks
Muz
Ari Koivunen cannot sing, I don't know how the hell he won, short of "zomg he's covering Sonata Arctica" and all the 13 year old girls clamouring over it
LotR
Muz: finnish 'Idol' ?
JordanC
Wow
srotta
Muz: Abreau sings well, she has some decent songs and a bit of diversity.
JordanC
Universal Music Group 's website sucks ass
Muz
She's hot too, and so so young
srotta
Couldn't agree more.
:P
Muz
She's younger than me! :D!
LotR
that's not important. age of consent is! ;)
srotta
Koivunen has a certain style of singing, and he's sticking with it no matter what the song is.
Muz
srotta, that being "whiny, nasal and off key"?
JordanC
Nope, I can't find the barcode/release number
srotta
Well, that's the way they want it 8)
JordanC
Not mentioned on Geffen or UMG
Muz
Heheh
alastairp
JordanC: no barcode at all on the cd case?
normally the release number is on the spine as well
JordanC
Haven't got the CD case here, it's in the car :/
alastairp
ah :)
LotR
whose car? ;)
alastairp
I think getting it would solve all your issues :)
what's the cd?
JordanC
Got it
0602517671515

srotta
Muz: The win was mostly an image thing, Koivunen got heavy listeners voting.
