Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION The Anywhere Machine Your music "heresies"

I hate American Pie. I don't care who sings it.

It's not my favorite, but I don't see why people hate Sussudio so much.

The Velvet Underground's album (did it have a name, the banana one? was there more than one?) did nothing for me and yes I listened to it several times.

Not even me, sweetums?

I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away

I went down to the sacred store
Where I'd heard the music years before
But the man there said the music wouldn't play

And in the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken

And the three men I admire most
The Father, Son and Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died

That last still gives me chills ... has been 30 years now. And no, I still don't know what the fuck it means!

fuck american pie, over played to death, just like stairway to heaven.
Susudio? the phil collins song?

"Girl you know it's true" from Milli Vanilli -- song just makes me want to shoot my radio.

Which would be a "heresy" if you loved it anyway. Is that what you're saying?

I get the impression heresy in this thread is you don't like a song everyone is supposed to think a classic.

Caroline will hate me for this but I don't think much of Elvis as a singer. Never really have. Although I will have to admit that the remix of his A Little Less Conversation is a good song and one I have on my MP3 list.

I like WILL TO POWER's late-80s remakes of Im Not in Love and Baby I Love Your Way better than the originals.

I know, I know...

Scooter I might have agreed with you re: Elvis through much of his career.

It was his later stuff like BURNING LOVE, SUSPICIOUS MINDS, IN THE GHETTO and whatnot that convinced me the guy COULD lay down a mean track.

I've never cared for Bruce Springsteen -- his songs or his singing. Both sound like a bunch of friends at a bar who've already had too much to drink.

Yes, I know: not only a heresy, but damn unpatriotic.

Hmmm... my music heresies...

"Emotions" by Mariah Carey. When she starts burping out those shrill staccato high notes, it makes me want to stab my eardrums with Q-tips.

"Shake your Bon Bon" - Ricky Martin. One of the worst follow-up dance singles ever.

I love Amy Grant, but her cover of "Big Yellow Taxi" is pretty despicable.

Please be gentle:

I hate Led Zepplin and think the Doors are overrated.

(I'm probably going straight to hell.)

Whitney Houston has always made me feel rather bilious actually. Though it is entertaining watching the way her chin wobble whenever she holds those <torturous> long notes.

But that's just my opinion

Speaking of BIG YELLOW TAXI... I adored the Counting Crows cover of it from earlier this year. Well done, boys!

'Binger-- drag queens seem fond of emulating that jaw-wobble too. It's pretty hysterical!

OMG, I was going to post the exact same thing earlier and forgot! YOU ARE NOT ALONE...

Mechana-- no argument from me re: Led Zep, though I *do* find the song Trampled Underfoot to be pretty sexy...

The Doors, overrated?!?! BURN THE WITCH!!!!! ;-D

I can take or leave Led Zep. I like "Trampled Under Foot," and "Fool In the Rain" (dig the piano), but most of the rest haven't worn well with age, particularly "Stairway to Heaven," which should have been retired from classic rock stations 10,000 plays ago.

Agree about the stairway to Boredom thoughts, though Battle of Evermore and When the Levee Breaks from the same album are just superb!

I also like Fool in the Rain HWW, it's definitely the stand out track on that album.

Sorry but I have no memory of album titles.

Now if thats not fucking BLASPHEMY, nothing is, ZEPPELIN RULE!!
for a group putting out music in the late 60s they were wayyyyyyyyyyy ahead of their time, being rip off artists and all
when the levee breaks, holy fuck, ever hear of memphis minnie, thats her song, sung by her husband joe. Jimmy Page just took that song and
said geeeee look what i wrote.

Now The Doors
FUCK THE DOORS
Carnival music.

but most of the rest havent worn well with age??
come again?
like what?
You do realize led zeppelin just released a 3 cd and 2 dvd set that was number 1 on billboard?
If their stuff hasnt aged well, then why would it be #1? for a band that hasnt been together for 23 years?
but some songs are just plain tiring
fool in the rain
rock n roll
black dog
immigrant song

just an opinion with some fact thrown in

LOL This was the response I was waiting for. Sorry, Lab.

Danny Blaine is my new best friend.

I don't suppose you like jazz do you?

A little bit. Haven't really listened to it alot...

For those who have posted without confessing their own heresy, I quote the excellent Detective-Sergeant Howard: "Oh, c'mon! You don't come to a show-your-warts party with clean skin. It's rude."

One more, I actually liked the Grease 2 soundtrack...

It's called "The Velvet Underground and Nico".

They made five studio albums in all, but the fifth was made without any of the original members involved.
