Re: Biggest Fan - July 2020
Dang bonnielaurel, I either put the Kate Bush version of this song on my list or considered it. I think the instrumentation on this version is a bit too fluffy for me, and I like Kate Bush's quivering vocals better, but I can see how a Billie Holiday fan could enjoy this.

Lena Horne – The Man I Love: 5
I can't really fault anything about it, but this type of ballad rarely grabs me. Lena Horne could sing though!

Re: Biggest Fan - July 2020
Even looking at my list from an old thread called "Least-favorite songs," I don't see all 1s. I listened to some of the very bottom Biggest Fan songs, but it takes maybe more than they've got to pull the trigger on a 1 rating. There are a lot of musical crimes on my list below, though I wouldn't call any of them morally offensive. (Thankfully no one on Biggest Fan is into date rape or white nationalism songs.)mileswide wrote: ↑Thu Jul 23, 2020 11:36 pmThat'd be more like a 1 for me. I'd forgotten I'd even awarded a 1 on here but I've done so at least once- for Yankee Doodle and that was only because I didn't consider it a proper song (nothing against anyone who thinks otherwise!) I don't give out 1s casually though.

Re: Biggest Fan - July 2020
I like Haven’t Met You Yet but most of the rest I’m not crazy about either

Re: Biggest Fan - July 2020
Smokey Robinson once called Michael Bolton's rendition of Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay the 'soul' version of the song, Otis' original being the 'pop' version- now that's offensive.
All I got inside is vacancy!

What does THAT mean? That Michael's is more legit? What the fuck?

Re: Biggest Fan - July 2020
Checked my spreadsheet again. Bolton's "Dock of the Bay" is another of those I gave a 1. Meanwhile, Otis's version is in my top 20 of all-time. So I'm gonna have to disagree with the Motown legend on that one ...StevieFan13 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 25, 2020 1:58 amWhat does THAT mean? That Michael's is more legit? What the fuck?

Don't know about anyone else but SO MANY Limp Bizkit songs could be added to this list. Fred Durst must be one of the worst frontmen ever! The lyrics, the delivery... pure awefulness!Live in Phoenix wrote: ↑Fri Jul 24, 2020 9:25 pm

Re: Biggest Fan - July 2020
The '90s had a good chance of being my favorite decade, if it had even kept pace a little bit during the 2nd half, instead of so many of my favorite bands falling apart, losing their way, dropping dead, then being replaced by stuff like boy bands and bad hard rock. (And I'm not sure Limp Bizkit would even crack a top 10 of my greatest musical letdowns during that time...I think I liked Korn less because of all the melodrama. Limp Bizkit wasn't even going to bother with trying to get dramatic.)

Re: Biggest Fan - July 2020
What is it with me and forgetting to vote on Saturdays?
Neil Young - Albuquerque: 8
Neil Young decided to take a right turn on Albuquerque and arrived at the right place. This whole album is very raw, both in emotion and in sound. Every song feels like a nerve and so does this one.
Patsy Cline – You’re Stronger Than Me: 6
Like the Lena Horne song two days ago not completely my thing, but I find Cline's voice more appealing.

This band at their peak score an 8 easily for me. I'm just very susceptible for their type of driving hard rock.

Re: Biggest Fan - July 2020
Remember The Kinks? They used to be big in this game, but we haven’t seen them around these parts for almost a year. Today they stage a comeback, with their fourth appearance, courtesy of that master for raising the dead: Zombeels.

Good to see a return to hard rock for The Kinks here, but their melody has been stronger.
