neil young/trans

I like Trans better than Everybody's Rockin', though that's not saying much. And the version of Old Ways they released is pretty heinous (though at least one of the unreleased versions is pretty good)

[bovine knievel]

Willie don't know reggae

[whatwouldcooleydo?]

I bet Johnny Cash is still ashamed of some of those quasi-patriotic pieces-of-crap he released in the early 80s, AKA the nadir of an otherwise stellar career

[Smitty]

Willie don't know reggae

What?!?! I love that album

[Tequila Cowboy]

Willie don't know reggae

What?!?! I love that album

Me too.

[Steve French]

controversy?






some great songs, (Safe European Home, English Civil War, Tommy Gun) utterly ruined by the production: vocal too far down in the mix, muddy production and some shit songs. ( Stay Free, Last Gang in Town, All the Young Punks)

[Steve French]

Willie don't know reggae

heartfelt? - sure

decent cover version? - absolutely

sounds great? - sure does

but compared to the original:



searing, compelling, a song that should be as well known as Marvin Gaye's What's Goin' On?

[Tequila Cowboy]

Yeah, well it didn't. Sorry Joe...

[dime in the gutter]

anything after this

[cortez the killer]

anything after this

While I wouldn't call it great, I think Voodoo Lounge is far from crap.

[dime in the gutter]

never listened to it. could not tell you a track from it. maybe i speak of what i don't know........but really....voodoo lounge?

[littlemamma]

nadir.
one of my all time fave words.

crap: From the 5 Burroughs. yuk.
and I love Beastie Boys up until then.
what happened?
p.s. get well Adam Yauch

crap: John Mayer. any. and all.

[Smitty]

I really dig A Bigger Bang
but they've also had a decent track here and there since then
She Was Hot
Mixed Emotions
Slipping Away
Thru & Thrue
Blinded By Rainbows
Don't Stop

and don't forget

Yup. Voodoo Lounge. Not vintage Glimmer Twins, but a good album. A few good trcks:
Love Is Strong
You Got Me Rocking
The Worst
Out of Tears
Baby Break It Down
Thru and Thru

[cortez the killer]

but they've also had a decent track here and there since then
She Was Hot
Mixed Emotions
Slipping Away
Thru & Thrue
Blinded By Rainbows
Don't Stop

and don't forget

A few more:
Undercover of the Night
One Hit to the Body
And the VL tracks I listed above.

[Duke Silver]

Just awful. And I thought these guys could do no wrong after It Still Moves - Z - Okonokos.

No Peanut Butter Pudding Surprise for Duke.

i like those three songs, esp Stay Free! 'guns on the roof' is the weakest track for sure.

[Steve French]

Yeah, well it didn't. Sorry Joe...

totally agree. If only they'd gone on holiday instead of sacking Mick.

[mgsooner]

It grew on me a little after repeated listens, but it's hard for me to argue with your statement even as a huge fan of the band. I just hope to god their next album doesn't continue along the same path.

[beantownbubba]

When the Eagle Flies is not only a terrible album by one of my favorite bands, Traffic, but it has the unique distinction in the company of this thread of being the only album to actually have the balls to include a song about being uninspired ("Sometimes I Feel So Uninspired"). I'm STILL pissed that i didnt take the hint and actually paid cash money for that album.

This thread poses an interesting challenge: Usually when i'm trying to jog my memory, i turn to albums i listen to, or to my itunes, where i mostly have songs i like and want to hear. This requires me to get out the duster and right now i'm too lazy, lol. Most of Eric Clapton's albums from the mid 70's thru the late 80's would qualify, w/ the exception of Money & Cigarettes. Maybe. Tracking almost the exact same years, and in honor of the Faces thread, Rod Stewart has to be mentioned here. I dont even know the names of most of the albums he released during that godawful period.

[BigTom]

Just awful. And I thought these guys could do no wrong after It Still Moves - Z - Okonokos.

Totally disagree. This is a great album...especially live.
