The Pinnacle of Popular Music
Ribbon Fat:
Johnny C, button pusher extraordinaire.
Johnny C:
WEEEEE
I didn't say that I don't like his voice. It's just very fruity. And I don't have any problems with Talk Talk. I think they are a competent band playing above-the-bar pop music.
EDIT: Now, The Dead Kennedys. Music AND voice I dislike. Stupid Jello Biafra.
KharBevNor:
Actually, damn Current 93, Sol Invictus is definitely the most emotionally resonant band of all time. If we're talking of emotional dualities, compare: 'Our Lady of the Wild Flowers' and 'Come, Join the Dance', 'The North Ship' and 'Michael' and 'Ave Maria' and 'December Song'. Shitting brilliant. Unlike many other bands I enjoy greatly, their lyrics are also more profound than poetic (though still pretty damn obscure sometimes). They just aren't afraid to tell it how it is. December Song is probably the most depressing thing ever, apart from 'Here Am I' (The sheer resignation of it. 'Life's not fair. Life's not fair.' It's not adolescent complaint, it's a man speaking truths.)
"This is the longest road to nowhere
Although it's shorter than you think
When the shutters comes down
When the chain breaks its link
Can love triumph
Will hate fall
Can good win?
Probably not at all
The tide will go out and not return
The flame will die and never again burn
I will fall asleep and never awake
The next page of the diary won't have a date
Can love triumph
Will hate fall
Can good win?
Probably not at all
With vile defeats
I limp towards December
Full of vile deceits
But destined not to be remembered"

Out of the whole thing, that is my favourite line. I don't know why.
ImRonBurgundy?:
--- Quote from: Ribbon Fat ---I'm not going to accept Black Dice or Fugazi--Those albums are full of emotions, but trivial ones. Emotions that appeal to our reptilian brain stems.

okay, fine, then.
JEEZ.
