Fuck. I love both of those.

"Cheer Down" is pretty good too. That's the George Harrison song from Lethal Weapon 2.

I wouldn't call The Faces "seminal" so much as I would call them "that thing Rod Stewart did before he wrote 'Do Ya Think I'm Sexy'".

8/20/2011 2:34:14 AM

Well, okay.

But that would be short-sighted and ill-informed.

8/20/2011 2:36:57 AM

IBT Phil Collins...

8/20/2011 2:37:28 AM

Phil Collins was never in a seminal band, nor did he ever record a song that's both cheesy and good.

Cheesy? Yes. Good? Yes. But never both at once.

8/20/2011 2:39:26 AM

I looked up the definition for seminal because I really had no idea what it meant, but I'm not gonna argue semantics even though Genesis kind of fits the description, and

^thats a very subjective statement

Peter Gabriel in Genesis < Genesis with Phil Collins

IMMFHO

8/20/2011 3:01:55 AM

WHAT ABOUT WHEN THEY WERE BOTH IN GENESIS

Pretty much anything by Steve Winwood from Traffic. I can't embed. Here's a sampling:

I challenge anyone to claim that these songs are not both cheesy and wonderful, and / or that Traffic was not a seminal British band.

8/20/2011 12:29:34 PM

Steve Winwood gets in just by being in Blind Faith.

8/20/2011 12:30:51 PM

8/20/2011 12:36:39 PM

^^Yeah, but Traffic was formed first.

Is Wings really solo, though?

8/20/2011 1:29:40 PM

It is universally accepted that Paul McCartney is Wings

8/20/2011 1:36:56 PM

I consider Tony Shaloub to be Wings.

8/20/2011 1:38:27 PM

^^ This is true.

^ HAHAHAHAHA.

Anyway.



A great song, though kind of cheesy with some of the lyrics. Lennon has quite a few songs like that IMO that are great, yet a bit cheesy.

Might be stretching it a bit, but how about these?

Also, Wings sucked. Not as much as that piece of shit Clapton, though.

8/20/2011 9:18:56 PM

^Now I'm pretty sure you're trolling.

8/20/2011 10:25:35 PM

Eric Clapton is a worthless human being and I wouldn't care if he had never existed.

100% not trolling.

Fuck that guy.

I was never a Macca fan, either, but "Jet" rules. Not Wings, though.

8/20/2011 11:59:26 PM

Why do you hate Clapton? What did he do?

[Edited on August 21, 2011 at 12:20 AM. Reason : Is this like Scrumples hating James Blake? ]

8/21/2011 12:18:52 AM

He sucks. His songwriting sucks. His playing is boring and derivative. He's a bad father. Et cetera.

8/21/2011 12:23:57 AM

Thanks for explaining.

8/21/2011 12:27:11 AM

Yes, most rock stars are model parents.

8/21/2011 1:39:02 AM

Fine, forget that.

He's a white bread racist asshole who hasn't written an interesting song in his entire goddamn life.

8/21/2011 2:15:54 AM

Yeah, I actually read his racist rant on Wikipedia after your previous post. A lot of his songs were written by or historically performed by blacks. Curious.

[Edited on August 21, 2011 at 11:38 AM. Reason : I still like the music, though.]

holy shit

8/21/2011 11:45:17 AM

Well, as long as they're not living in England, or specifically London, he's fine with it. Must have been pretty well lit by the time he made those remarks.

8/21/2011 11:56:58 AM

I love people of other ethnicities, as long as they stay more than 1000 feet from me at all times

^^ I'm not racist, unless I'm drunk...

8/21/2011 12:16:17 PM

Poorly worded. Obviously being drunk doesn't excuse it. Just used poor judgement. Hey, he has a black drummer in the "Pretending" video that I posted above. What more do you want of the man?

Also, Wings (the band) was an abortion. Wings (the tv show) was a guilty pleasure. Antonio Scarpacci forever!
