Fox92 Posted 10 March 2014 Share Posted 10 March 2014 Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks. Perhaps not my favourite Dylan album, although its fantastic, but if you dislike it, you're an idiot. Its a safe bet. Yeah, terrific album. My favourite is 'Bringing It All Back Home', a great album with the likes of 'Tambourine Man', 'Its Alright Ma', 'Homesick Blues', '115th dream'... It goes on.

Finnegan Posted 10 March 2014 Share Posted 10 March 2014 How can anybody not like it? Hoping they'll turn the gun on themselves, I see what you did there. As for Original Pirate Material, good album, very good. But would I rely on it to save me? Don't think so, it's a bit too niche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox92 Posted 10 March 2014 Share Posted 10 March 2014 Hoping they'll turn the gun on themselves, I see what you did there. Well I didn't post Dylan because he was already covered, as were The Beatles and God forbid me post about The Beatles because I'll only get criticized by certain people. But I don't get why people say The Smiths are depressing, if you're implying that... At least they write about something, and on every album it's all there. Songs about women, society, vulnerability, politics, loneliness and fantasies of power. Morrissey really did write from within, he was good at that, no matter what anybody says about him. On this album, most of the songs are great. Cemetery Gates and Bigmouth Strikes Again are probably my favourite two Smiths songs anyway, then there's the seductive Boy With A Thorn In His Side and obviously There Is A Light. All wonderful... If it's not anyone's cup of tea then fair play but it's better than 90% of meaningless music nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, I don't mind songs like How Soon Is Now? but I don't think anyone could possibly argue that the Smiths sound wasn't thoroughly miserable. Well, unless I suppose they grew up on Depeche Mode, where the sounds of children being tortured would be more upbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certain lyrics are, such as in 'Please please please let me get what I want', but it's not depressing music. I listen to Joy Division as well, and they're way more miserable (granted Curtis eventually killed himself). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
