The Pinnacle of Popular Music

<< < (2/20) > >>

Kai:
I happen to like fake emotions too.



Also, I'm pretty sure that Fugazi took the cake for "pinnacle of popular music" with 13 Songs. Or In on the Kill Taker. Or Red Medicine. Or Repeater. or fucking any of them. SRSLY

Ribbon Fat:

--- Quote from: brew ---The second is much better than the first.  But it is indeed great.

I'm not sure I would quite call it my favorite, or the "pinnacle of popular music", but then again, I like fake emotions from the likes of Tarantino.

Let's forget about that thread--unless you like dinosaurs. Listen: I enjoy Tarantinos films, but I am opposed to pretty much every view he has on filmmaking. I would never make a postmodern pastiche of everything I was nostalgiac about from my childhood. He thinks his tricks--and he does them well--are what cinema is all about. I dont. But he is fun. I'll give him that. It's just all so empty.

Let's talk about Talk Talk instead.

brew:
The production and arrangements on these albums are some of my favorite in pop music.  I don't know much about their histories, but I suspect that Tim Friese-Greene had a lot more to do with what made these albums great than Mark Hollis.

What do you think of Hollis' solo album?  I've heard a few tracks a while ago, and it seemed mediocre from what I remember, but I'm looking at reviews now which seem to be consistently good.

It's not mediocre at all, just more subdued and intimate. No electric instuments at all. All the songs were recorded live in the studio.

From what I've read in interviews, the approach they took on the last two Talk Talk albums was mostly based on Hollis's ideas. I just think Hollis and Friese-Greene made a great duo.

Johnny C:
This thread is based on a flawed premise. I mean, come on, guys.





Duh.
