Good Artists Gone Bad

Posted on: February 25, 2008 9:11 pm
 

This is kind of a companion blog to "Bricks jukebox from hell."  It's always disappointing when an artist you enjoy puts outy a lame product.  Here are a few of my disappointments...

"Lawyers in Love" - Jackson Brown

"Tears in  Heaven" - Eric Clapton

"Angel" - Aerosmith

"Come Dancing" - The Kinks

I know I'll probably catch flack for this one but ZZ Top Eliminator to me stands out as one. A lot of  Aerosmith's recent efforts also.

Another one would be Neil Young. Some of his stuff is, of course, great. But then there's Trans. What the hell was that?

Chicago post 1976. Pure sap after '76.

As much as I love Pink Floyd, The Final Cut sucked.

JD, I was referring to songs, not the entire albums.  While I like the sentiment of "Tears in Heaven", I do not think it is a good song and the fact that it was written due to a tragic accident probably compounded its overexposure on the radio.

As far as The Kinks are concerned, they are not a band that I look to for profound lyrics in any way.  Again, this is a song that I don't believe lives up to their usual standard, a throwaway, so to speak.

As you said, these are only my opinions, no more or less valid than anyone elses.

The new Silverchair really sux! Good thing they didn't start out with this crap there putting out now, or they would be totally irrelevant.



About mjollnir's music mayhem
As is alluded to in the title, this is a blog about music(or not, depending on my mood), and as my musical tastes run the gamut, there may be mayhem at times. I hope that those who choose to read my blog don't pass out from boredom and hit their head on their monitor and get a concussion...
