"The Long and Winding Road" is for me another one.

It's...William Repsher wrote my comment for me:<br /><br />It's hard to narrow down with artists like Richard Thompson or Elvis Costello as they have hundreds of songs, save to say each album, at least half of it feels so "samey" compared to other albums -- not bad enough to be bad, nowhere near as good as they're capable of -- that it all sort of sticks together in this large mass of "sort of OK" music I have little urge to hear again.<br /><br />I used to have a large list of songs I hated by artists I loved, but since the digital age and the explosion of musical quantity, I have so little time or inclination to listen to music I don't like, as I don't even have enough time to listen to music I like. So when someone who likes hiphop tries to take me down for not giving it a chance ... I don't even have enough time to give a full chance to music I know I will like. And with how long artists hang around now, there's so much good and bad music mixed in with their entire catalogue that I can't fathom it all. Good example is how we were taught Satanic Majesties was the worst the Stones could possibly come up with ... but compared to Dirty Work?buzzbabyjesushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09375127662096374324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-20635488078549073962014-02-17T18:34:34.137-08:002014-02-17T18:34:34.137-08:00Interesting Richard Thompson choice.

Check it out for yourself:<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RC_YxqTUXmE<br /><br />The Elvis Costello song that has always rubbed me the wrong way is "Dr Luther's Assistant." It really showcases all the negatives that some people throw Elvis' way.<br /><br />BillBillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00890083462311598548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-5271562760253029802014-02-17T17:35:51.029-08:002014-02-17T17:35:51.029-08:00I have a particular distaste for songs that don...I have a particular distaste for songs that don't fit sonically nor lyrically with the rest of an otherwise great album. An obvious example is "Within You, Without You" on Sgt. Peppers ("She's Leaving Home" also takes me away from the rest of the album).<br /><br />The Beach Boys' "Sloop John B" is a better record, but it kills me that it's in the middle of "Pet Sounds" and doesn't fit in any way. Brian insists that this was always going to be a part of PS, but I'm not sure I believe it.<br /><br />Even more jarring to me is how "Friends," a superb, underrated album by the Beach Boys, ends with the instrumental "Diamond Head" and then "Transcendental Meditation," marring the carefully constructed suite of songs that have the "how did they do that?" coherence of the second side of "Abbey Road."
