Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell – Your Precious Love: 6
A sweet classic, but not something that grabs me in particular.

Wilco is one of those bands entirely inside my supposed taste who rarely if ever really compel me. Maybe it is Jeff Tweedy's voice, which I don't find all that expressive or appealing. The guitar is nice though.

Re: Biggest Fan Songs - March 2021
Catching up a bit:
Lenny Kravitz - I'll Be Waiting: 6/10
Colbie Caillat - Bubbly: 6/10
Fazerdaze – Lucky Girl: 8/10 Nice song, but I can't believe I put this as my number 394 of all time. I probably listened to this three or four times since our last all-time poll, at most. If this game has taught me anything, it's that I should try to be less impulsive when making my lists.
Johnny Cash - The Man Comes Around: 8/10
Die Sterne - Fickt das System: 6/10

I wish I had the time for Biggest Fan this week but I'll rate the song I know:
Wilco - Handshake Drugs 5 Muzzle of Bees off the same album would get an 8.5.

Re: Biggest Fan Songs - March 2021
I forgot that The Man Comes around can boast of being the best song written in Nottingham- in the liner notes to American IV, Cash reveals the song came to him after picking up a book about Revelations in a charity/thrift shop while on tour in Nottm. You don't have to look far for inspiring apocalyptic imagery in our fair city!
Still, we got off more lightly than Widnes- I'm sure Paul Simon wasn't being complimentary when he wished he were homeward bound and not stuck at a train station watching the famous English rain but that didn't stop their council from putting a plaque up to commemorate the town's part in Homeward Bound's composition!

Agreed.

Very solid soul song from a rather consistent group. Great interplay in the vocals.

Any good the song does is overpowered by whatever that choppy static noise is. It's very oddly spaced but always in time with the beat so I assume it's part of the song and not my end or the upload. Whatever the case, the random timing of it and relative volume just pulls me out of the song.

I've checked other uploads and they all sound like that so I guess it is an aesthetic choice. I don't mind it though, as it adds another layer of isolation to the song, something which is already strong in the lyrics and the singing. And in contrast to Hymie, I actually find Lekman an expressive singer here, in a subdued way. This is a very touching song with great lyrics and a nice melody. Makes me want to seek out more Lekman.Safetycat wrote: ↑Sun Mar 28, 2021 9:28 am 808. Jens Lekman – Black Cab - 3

I guess exotica like this plays more like a novelty nowadays. It has a pleasant appeal, but there isn't much to it. Maybe a fuller, even warmer sound could have won me over. I'm not sure if the cheesy animal sound effects detract from it or make it more charming. Depends on the mood I'm in probably.

I like it a little bit better, but not by much. I appreciate that the animal sounds have an even bigger presence here; hopefully the monkeys and birds were credited in the liner notes.Hymie wrote: ↑Mon Mar 29, 2021 5:57 pmYou may like his big hit from that time better, I know I do.Rob wrote: ↑Mon Mar 29, 2021 3:56 pm Martin Denny – The Enchanted Sea: 6

That's also Denny's only song on Acclaimed Music, by the way.
