I love love love this song's guitar but most of their other stuff is not my cup of tea.

At a party recently this dude almost wanted to fight with me because I said "Fuck the Eagles" when he told me he and his wife were going to see them in concert.  I had no idea he was so touchy (read drunk).  But I didn't mean I don't like their music, just that they had made some douchebag moves recently firing an original member so they do a tour and cash in on Eagles nostalgia.  

Later on I had to bite my tongue when he told me Phil Collins was his favorite of all time, because Phil Collins is a douchebag AND his music sucks.

I've been defending the Eagles, I like them, but they're not one of my favorite bands.

Steely Dan however is.  Your Gold Teeth.

I'm glad that my enjoyment of the music doesn't hinge on your opinion of it.

I wouldn't wish that on anyone.  I am likewise glad that my opinion of it doesn't hinge on your enjoyment!

i wonder why it annoys the crap out of me to see a band that has their drummer singing...

[theinevitable]

I'm always confused by bands where the drummer writes the songs and sings.
Maybe because I can only write songs by figuring out the guitar part first?

[Dangermoose]

Maybe we are conditioned to generally expect a drummer to either be insane (Moon, Bonham) or spotlight-dodging (Watts) so when yer Phil Collins or whoever is all, 'hey guys, I'd like to sing a song I wrote for you -- and, and also drum it if that's alright' -- it's just odd.

it never occured to me that that dude's two favorite bands had lead singers who played the drums.  I'll have to find out what he thinks of Rare Earth.

Funny thing about Phil Collins is, I really dislike his music, but he's a really great drummer.

clapton: pre-1980, cool & good; post-1980, claptrap crap
steely dan: cool, usually good
eagles: claptrap crap
phil collins: it's a trap

Most of eric clapton's music is not my thing.
In high school I thought I really liked him, and listened to this Clapton Anthology thing my dad had.
and then I realized that I liked the first half, which was the Yardbirds and Cream stuff, and not really anything else.

Speaking of old men embarrassing themselves... boy, someone should really take Pearl Jam behind the barn and commit the Merciful Act on them (they have a "new" "rock" "album" out, that's why I mention)...

[pmcd9]

The best I ever saw of Phil Collins is when he toured with Eric Clapton and played the drums for him in '86 or '87. That melding worked out real well 'cause Phil mostly shut up and played.

Collins played drums on Robert Plant's first two albums and played in his band on Plant's first tour.  Dude can play the fuck out of the drums.

The Clapton I've heard is through my mother so I tend to class it as being crass obvious emotional manipulation that I'll sing along to before I realise what I'm doing and shut it off in a fit of self loathing. I can't decide if this is because he actually was more of a constructed artist or whether it's just because it came from my parents and so seems overdone to me since I've heard it forever. I think the description I'd use for how I feel about Clapton is 'like Van Morrison if he was signed to Disney'.

Dear god, yes.  They are embarrassing themselves.

To bring things vaguely back on topic:  I think when it comes to porn where people are denied their desires, it is actually called "this arch in Achewood."

Isn't he pretty well respected for his work with Genesis in the 70s?
