Start me up song is bad. Main riff is not.

"Start Me Up" drains me of my will to exist. A song among the all-time worst. I have "All Right Now" in there, too.

_________________

Shattered is crap. I can handle Start Me up...despite it's overuse.

the beatles have Abbey road, which despite the overmarketing and annoyance of the Beatles, is still an amazing record.

Money and bad taste. What people have been doing to Hinsdale is obscene. Architects are playing practical jokes on these pill-poppers, if you ask me.

Money and location.
These people absolutely HAVE to live with 6 blocks of downtown Naperville.

This reminds me of how some audiophiles will tell you that Steely Dan's Aja is the greatest album of all time because of how well it was engineered. It's a very good album, and it is probably among the best engineering of all time, but they're missing the point. As a work of art that I value, I'd personally tier it somewhere with The Velvet Underground and Nico, and that album sounds like shit!

"Let Me Go" is my jam.

"Start Me Up" is dreadful, but "Shattered" is just a tight little jam. Charlie Watts and Wyman are absolutely locked in. That little throwaway fill that Watts does during "this town's full of money grabbers..." is genius.

The worst aspect of the song is DeNiro's bizarro mugging to the camera in The Fan.

If they have any sense, most people will say all three songs suck.

Again, the particular song is not the point. Pick your favorite song from each band.

I hate the way it's tacked on to Skylarking, which is otherwise pretty close to perfection.

I've always preferred the Kinks to the Beatles.

I'll take "Waterloo Sunset" over "Eleanor Rigby" every time.

The Beatles have a couple of dozen 5-star HOF Mt Rushmore songs. Randomly Here Comes the Sun. If you listen to that and don't appreciate it you are beyond musical hope.

But "Wonderwall" is a great song too. The knock on it is the fact that it is so baldly derivative. Rick seems to be suggesting that such things aren't a consideration. Most of us think they are.

I will admit I prefer Wonderwall to Honey Pie.

Like oh my god, The Nightfly is a far better produced album. Idiot audiophiles.

I agree about "Here Comes the Sun." I vastly prefer Harrison to Lennon and McCartney.

For every person that overrates The Beatles there's 5 more who think they get some musical street cred by acting like they're some special flower that can see they weren't really that good. I'll take my chances in saying a band with 3 of the best musicians of all time is actually great. That's even without getting into how underrated Ringo was. I mean Paul played the hell out of the drums in Back in the USSR when Ringo briefly quit, but as you listen to it you know something's missing because Ringo was a perfect fit for them.

They want houses that look like houses in South Barrington, on a tiny piece of land.

Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

Back beat, the word was on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now

No, no it isn't.

The remastered version has it between "The Man Who Sailed Around His Soul" and "Dying." Now that ruins it. Making it the closing track kind of acknowledged that it was tacked on by popular demand. At least that way, you can end it at "Sacrificial Bonfire" as intended if you please.

Hmph, now I'm listening to Skylarking in the dead of winter, which feels wrong. Such a spring/summer album.

I've heard the same audiophile regarding "Brothers In Arms" by Dire Straits.

Mark Knopfler is a hell of a guitar player, but that album sucks, regardless of how crisp it was recorded.

that's a perfectly pleasant album in a nostalgic kind of way. Walk of Life always reminds me of the Heavy Fuel Crew.

Even the old houses that stay are virtually torn down and rebuilt. It's pretty much just the frame that stays as the original.

I was researching some housing in Oak Park and pretty much every house was simultaneously "Old and historic" and "Completely redone and with all modern amenities". People in Oak Park must really love living in old frames of houses.
