Check out that lineup. All the biggest egos together, all f'charidee'.
I'll bet John Lydon wishes he could join them! Should be a real yawn
fest, like Live Aid. God that was boring.

Pink Floyd got staid after Obscured, IMO.

Please tell me that you were high when you made the last statement.

That being said, Live Aid and Knebworth were both snooze fests, though
Pink Floyd's set (minus Waters) was still pretty darn good,

Regarding the albums, after Obscured came the triumvirate of DSoTM, WYWH
and Animals. One better and bleaker than the other.

John Lydon is something else altogether. His work with PIL has been a
laugh, albeit a bad one. You should check out the Filth And The Fury to
see Rotten in his prime.

Do you think that Syd Barett will join them for an
"Astronomy Domine" revisited ? ;-)

I was speaking about this one which is also a very good LP :
http://rateyourmusic.com/view_album_...bum_id_is_1030

IMO Live Aid had 2 stand out moments:

1. Queen's set
2. The performance of Peter Gabriel doing Biko.

The rest, bleh.

Agreed. Gabriel on Biko was something else.

I think one of the other few performances with such evocative emotion
was Sting's rendition of "If You Love Somebody Set Them Free" at the
Nelson Mandela concert in Wembley, while Mandela was still imprisoned on
Robben Island.

Missed it, can't stand Sting, so it would be hard for him to move me.
He sounds like something is stuck in his throat.

Really? I think Sting has a phenomenal voice. The Police's style of punk
meets white reggae definitely put them in a league of their own.

I don't turn it off when I hear his voice but I don't go searching out
songs by Sting and own nothing he's ever done.

Perhaps it's an age thing, maybe I'm too old, although I did enjoy
stuff by Creed before Stapp started needing a separate chair for his
ego. My taste is kinda all over the map, lots of stuff from the 60's
and early 70's, not much from the 80's, but stuff from Glen Miller,
Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington and MJQ.

Some voices seem to work if the songs are strong enough, which would
explain why I like Springsteen but not why I can't listen to Tom Waits.

....This is exactly the contrary for me. ;-)

Exactly. Springsteen is The Boss, and Tom Waits is a chore.

They're both tedious. How about a concert featuring Tom Petty and Brian Setzer?

I saw Tom Petty play Bass Concert Hall in Austin a couple of years ago.
He was pretty good. Brian Setzer I am not a fan of.

OK, for you it'll be Petty and Elton John, with an opener by the Manchester
Ersatz Elvis League.

Now you can make another crack about my "impressive knowledge of pop culture".

I'm not particularly fond of Elton John or Elvis Presley either.

My tastes are inclined more towards progressive, space, blues rock -
Pink Floyd, Gabriel-era Genesis, King Crimson, AC/DC, Allman Brothers,
Bowie, Zep, The Who, etc.

Lately I have also developed a bit of a taste for the Beatles's
post-Rubber Soul period.

Let's say that taste is is personal and that one man's music is another
man's noise.

Yes, Mickey, you are right. Similarly, what Normal people think of as pointless,
obnoxious argumentation is what Arnii Kroofeces calls the "debating trade". And
what Normal people call mindless, illogical, kneejerk oversimplification is what
you call "philosophy".

I could go on, but I can just imagine the shade of purple you're achieving as
you read my "lies". ;-)

I'm afraid that George Dosn't really know Tom Waits, just a

Brian Setzer?

Yes that's true.
But Tom Waits is a famous songwriter, musician and composer.
His contribution to today music is undeniably very important.
So IMHO it's a pity to trash him in 2 words only. Do you
understand ?

Dave Weil asks:

Taste is subjective. Why do some people like vanilla and others
chocolate?

I have heard others sing his stuff and found it OK, I just can't deal
with the sound of his voice.

You are elevating duh Mikey to the level
of Ferstler. Are you sure that is warranted?

That's your opinion, I'm not trashing him, I simply don't care for the
sound of his voice, it's like listening to guy in an Iron Lung.

He writes well, he sings in a way I don't care for.
He's a pretty decent actor as well.

I hadn't thought about it, actually. Don't you think Mickey is saddened
because he lost the brown pole position to Lionella?
