Members RogueGnome Posted December 6, 2016 Members Share Posted December 6, 2016 The Who sound like a facsimile of everything that was great about that era of rock and pop. Kind of like the English Monkees. I just don't get their music as any kind of cultural touchstone. Question for you, gubu. Do you play electric guitar? Drums?

Members Grumpy_Polecat Posted December 7, 2016 Members Share Posted December 7, 2016 Journey. I didn't mind the trip but I didn't know I had to share a seat with Steve Perry incessantly whining about his lost girlfriend, Sherry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Grumpy_Polecat Posted December 7, 2016 Members Share Posted December 7, 2016 I already slagged on Steve Perry but I couldn't resist the opportunity to repeat it. This time however I will put him in good company with Kevin Cronin and Dennis DeYoung, who suck equally and together make up a sizable amount of what was wrong with '70s music (other than the Brothers Gibb).

Members DonK Posted December 7, 2016 Members Share Posted December 7, 2016 I've heard a lot of them. Some are beyond terrible, but some are really excellent. What I can't stand is when the "excellent" ones go into 20 minutes of scatting at the end of a song. And no, I'm not exaggerating. I liked a lot of the stuff from the 90's, especially the Maranatha and similar stuff. The late 90's/early 2000's ushered in the Passion Worship era, which was hit or miss. Everything for the last 10 years sounds like bad EMO to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one Steve Perry thing I actually liked was the simple piano ballad "Foolish Heart". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Kreatorkind Posted December 7, 2016 Members Share Posted December 7, 2016 @StenbergerHack I can't stand Steely Dan. I've never heard anything by them that I wasn't annoyed by after 30 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members onelife Posted December 7, 2016 Members Share Posted December 7, 2016 I really enjoy sitting around with some good players and playing a few Dan tunes. It must have been a real treat for you (albeit combined with a bit of pressure) when you got to do that tribute gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a love/hate thing with the Dead... which makes sense as they were the most inconsistent band I can think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
