I practiced that drum solo forever. Never got it quite right. Certainly a great song though. Just because we don't like a song, doesn't mean it might not be a good song otherwise. It's all taste and preferences.
The truly bad songs are the ones that show lack of imagination, or are written to a formula to sell. Most generic pop songs probably qualify. Yet, they sell the most, so we will always be stuck with them.

Myles,
I think I can beat that. How about The Police - Mother- Synchronicity. The first thing I did when I ripped the CD was delete it. 😀

Actually, Jimmy Buffett is a great song writer, inasmuch as he can tell a complete story in a four minute song. Maybe all us old sailors still like him, but listen to He Went to Paris, Come Monday, A Pirate Looks at Forty, Son of a Son of a Sailor. or any one of a number of his early songs. He's way better than most people give him credit for.
I've only been to five of his concerts, and they were all superb. His band is a very talented group. And they certainly let you know they are really enjoying themselves.Last edited by Steve Lefkowicz; 01-10-2017, 12:09 PM. -
I don't mind Jimmy Buffet or Margaritaville. He is actually a very smart guy one of the richest entertainers in the world who has parlayed one hit song into lifestyle restaurants (Margaritaville in Las Vegas used to be the highest revenue restaurant in the US) , liquor, shirts, hats and concerts.

You haven't lived until you've checked out the Finnish TV version of YMCA.
I dig the Iron Butterfly- early proto- metal. Heavy is a great record, as is the Iron Butterfly theme song.
They gave my friend Jim a ride up to Santa Barbara after he turned down a lift from Sharon Tate in Roman's 275 GTB/4.
Inna Gadda was put to good use in Michael Mann's "Manhunter" film.
There is a whistling song that made the rounds a few years ago that set me on edge, but I guess anything can drive you nuts.Comment

It´s a hard question to answer Myles.

I would have to think seriously about casting my vote for almost any of our rock star hero's and their foray into disco based songs.
