Webbo Posted 11 December 2011 Posted 11 December 2011 Yes okay, oh wise one. Sorry you're wrong Mikey, it's a crap show.
Stay Positive Posted 11 December 2011 Posted 11 December 2011 Has anyone said "Lost" yet? I can't see all the pics that have been posted on this computer so I don't know, but still, utter balls. Oh and here's one that'll be tremendously unpopular: meat - of any kind. I never got the appeal of having a corpse on my plate. I shall put a disclaimer in here though - although I've been veggie for 25 years, I'm not one of those annoying preachy ones and will quite happily sit and eat with someone who's tucking into a plate of meat. In fact, one of my closest friends eats barely anything else. I don't know how he survives.
Yojoe36 Posted 11 December 2011 Posted 11 December 2011 Has anyone said "Lost" yet? I can't see all the pics that have been posted on this computer so I don't know, but still, utter balls. Lost was written like shit. So yes, over-rated
Finnegan Posted 11 December 2011 Posted 11 December 2011 Whilst I didn't really watch and don't really like Lost, it was a work of genius in one sense. By keeping the story intentionally vague they could basically have fifty nine minutes of jibberish and one minute of cliff-hanger per episode and guarantee to keep people hooked. Genuinely very clever.

Fox92 Posted 11 December 2011 Posted 11 December 2011 Re. Oasis vs the Beatles: I actually reckon Noel G. has a far higher average quality of song than the Beatles. And I'm not even an Oasis fan. The Beatles are/were pretty good, that's fairly clear. But people do speak of them as if they're actually gods, which they're not. Therefore they're over-rated. No chance. Listen to Oasis' music, most of the songs sound the same. Listen to Noel Gallagher and Liam Gallagher, both solo, now, and there songs still sound like Oasis music. The thing is, you want to read behind the Beatles music and then you'll understand how great it is. As a massive fan, I have read into the background of every song and some of the stories are amazing. I don't think a band can achieve over 40 number ones by luck. If anything the Beatles are underrated because hardly anyone around my age listens to them. And also, they basically invented metal with 'Helter Skelton' and people have said they invented MTV with 'Rain' which was sang backwards at the end of the song.
Finnegan Posted 11 December 2011 Posted 11 December 2011 Oasis' songs sound no more "all the same" than the Beatles' do. All artists' music sounds "the same" to those who aren't fans, it'd be a little bit strange if they didn't. And I've always found it really weird to see Beatles fans of my generation or younger get really excitable about a band they've never seen, never can see and were never really a "part" of. The Beatles (like the Clash, the Sex Pistols, The Who and nameless others) were far bigger than their music - they were a phenomena, a movement. You can read up on that all you want but you can never be a part of the significance, all you're left with is what they sound like on record and, eh, by contemporary standards their music is very, very ordinary. What their music represents may be massive but I've got complete and total support for anyone nowadays who thinks their actual sound is hugely over-hyped. I, personally, don't think their music has aged particularly well at all.
Saxondale Posted 11 December 2011 Author Posted 11 December 2011 Production techniques etc aside (and there were PLENTY more bands and who did a lot more pioneering work in that area), their repertoire of songs doesn't particularly stand out - other than for the fact that they held in a weird sort of reverence. The Kinks had as many memorable songs.

But seriously even the 'proper bands' nowadays have nothing on what has come before them.

Saxondale Posted 11 December 2011 Author Posted 11 December 2011 American comedians. Interestingly, I've been watching videos on YouTube of stand-ups dealing with hecklers. The British comedians tend to come up with witty retorts whereas the Americans usually react by shouting something like "get the **** out of here you ****ing b*tch, I'll ****ing kill you you c*nt" There are exceptions of course.

Bill Hicks, Rich Hall, Christopher Titus, Reginald D Hunter, George Carlin, Lewis Black, Richard Pryor? I can't agree.

Not the best example to reject his point about dealing with hecklers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PdKpR9qNtg But American comedians over-rated? Possibly, but British ones are far more over-rated - look how well Russell Howard's done for himself despite being quite bland. Or alternatively this bloke: Seemingly popular yet he is not even remotely funny.
