His taste in music has left me open mouthed with shock on more that one occasion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DustyDeviada Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Ha ha! Can't wait for Jester to jump in here with a spirited defence of Marillion. That said, I'm sure my love for Dire Straits, Paul Simon, Willie Nelson etc would be classed as pretty bad by many on here, so each to their own, music's subjective etc etc.That said, there's no defending liking Marillion, Genesis and Ray Wilson.

Guest Zeenat Aman Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Willie Nelson is a god, no need to defend liking him.Remember, this is just a bit of fun, no need to start calling folks shit cos they love Voodoo Loonge over Beggers banquet or whatever.

Guest DustyDeviada Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 I actually quite like Voodoo Lounge, Love is Strong is good, some other good tracks on it as well, and I've never listened to Beggar's Banquet, so technically I suppose I DO prefer Voodoo Lounge.Anybody remember the bar the Voodoo Lounge? They turned it into that strip club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does have a good collection of songs and flow to it, but to say it is their best, is a tad silly. I'd say it was their best since Some Girls. Now, Dirty Work, that really is a stinker!!!

Guest DustyDeviada Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Yeah, it's good, but nowhere near their best. You would need to be a complete fanny to claim that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I'd hardly call over a million album sales of Calling all Stations killing a band, and surely Phil Collins leaving killed it, how many bands can replace their singer and have greater commercial success once, let alone twice, not to mention in between We can't Dance and Calling all Stations there was grunge whoch killed off most of the bands that had been big in the 80's. Musical tastes outgre Genesis, and with Ray they wqere going away from the pop stuff of the 80's back to the more progressive roots, also guaranteed to help kill off the band.
