IRT people being subjected to the "Do They Know It's Christmas?" as they're in Walgreens;

Tonight, THANK GOD it's THEM instead of YOOOOOOUUUUUUUU, @The Valeyard

 

[Valeyard]

The Walgreens nearest to me is cursed anyway. Weird shit happens.

Also, I mean, no of course they don't know it's fucking Christmas. Show respect for their personal belief systems and stop forcing God down their throats instead of food, BONO. Go back to your no name streets.

Two things...Richard Page was in Ringo’s All Starr Band when I saw them so I can say I saw Ringo play drums to “Kyrie”.

Second...guitarist for Mr. Mister was one of the many anonymous lead guitarists on KISS’ Creatures of the Night. Looking it up on Wikipedia, he played on the title track, which absolutely rips.

I always found it ironic in that what was probably the best KISS studio album (Creatures of the Night) didn't have KISS's most talented musician on it (despite his appearance on the cover).

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Idk if I would call Ace Frehley KISS' most talented musician but he's definitely most unique and influential.

I've honestly never thought of who was most talented musician in KISS...

He had by far the best solo album of the four, whatever that is worth.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Yeah, he definitely had the best solo career too. Maybe I've been reading too many "Ace is a sloppy guitarist" takes tbh.

 

[Fall of Epic]

If it isn't Ace then it's definitely Vinnie Vincent.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

My pick would be Paul but we already have a KISS thread, gentlemen! Move the discussion there so me and @The Valeyard can continue talking Mr. Mister and John Waite!

 

[Valeyard]

John Waite will pick up in a week. Right now it's still McCartney skullfucking people with "Wonderful Christmastime." 7-11 isn't immune.

Hey @The Valeyard , do you have any strong feelings about Alannah Myles' "Black Velvet"?

It somehow came up on my Facebook feed this morning and it brought up the indelible memory of my retirement age elementary school music teacher telling us it was her favorite song of all time then playing it for all of us.

Why Hall and Oates’ ‘She’s Gone’ Video Enraged a TV Station

John Oates explained the backstory to Hall & Oates' music video for She's Gone during an interview in March 2021.

ultimateclassicrock.com

Quite honestly, the best music video of the '70s.

And I still want to know if @The Valeyard has thoughts on "Black Velvet" dammit.

 

[Valeyard]

"Black Velvet" is fine, it's just my years of hanging out in karaoke bars has significantly tainted it for me.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Alannah Myles really showed up to the scene 4 or 5 years too early. I feel like 1990 was probably worst time for smoky strong adult contemporary types. Well, I guess she walked so Sheryl Crow could run.

 

[Valeyard]

I'm not against it but it isn't the music I want to get a shot to. It was played immediately after "Fireflies" so at least I got Shania instead of a thousand hugs from ten thousand lightening bugs.

 

[Hoff]

I heard ODESZA, of all things, playing at the Hy-Vee after we got dose 1 last Saturday. Unsure if it speaks to how ubiquitous electronic music is becoming, or if I'm just old and they're played out in the year 2021. Still one of my favorite acts, though, especially within that genre.

[Valeyard]

Chumbawumba is too on the nose and I've heard it four times, two at the same store.

 

[Valeyard]

Bangles. It was great. "Eternal Flame" is perfectly good berry-buying music.

This is definitely on the Mt. Rushmore of supermarket music albums IMO.

I heard Siouxsie and the Banshee's cover of "Dear Prudence" over the weekend, which is a cover that always makes me smile. I was going to mention a song I don't like, but I didn't wanna be a grouch (maybe I'll just start a new thread dedicated to such a topic)

 

[Valeyard]

Dido's "White Flag" is a really odd song to buy condoms to.

 

[Valeyard]

Fuck Bachman-Turner Overdrive.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

I always thought they were perfectly acceptable proto buttrock but then Randy Bachman is the most negative person in that oral history of KISS' first five years that came out 5-10 years ago and I changed my tune knowing he was such a pretentious, condescending ass. Like look I know KISS is dumb but it's not like BTO's greatest hits are that much (if any!) less dumber!

 

[Valeyard]

KISS is superior in every way, just based on radio singles. There's just no way someone picks "The Boys Are Back In Town" over like "Detroit Rock City."

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

BTO didn't even do "The Boys Are Back in Town"!

 

[Valeyard]

SEE?
