Well, it doesn't matter if you desire kids or not, please do refrain from posting such links. The halberd is waiting in the dark corners... :smash:Quote:

Beirut, your ability to disturb me remains undiminished (even when I'm 99% sure you're kidding). :sweatdrop:
Yeah, Celine Dion is horrible :P
How about 80s music? Ugh: synthesizers, bad dancing, bad performances, BAD MUSIC. Well, some songs are actually "good songs" in a way but it's 80s MUSIC! Raaaarrgh! It's always base, snare, base, snare, with cheap variations of it. Like in 4/4: base, snare, base, snare, base, snare, base snaresnaresnare! :P
But the synthesizers, ooooh the synthesizers... those horrible synthetic poppish 80s sounds. Now that's horror for you there, brother :no:
The time when companies sold synthesizers and made commercials to convince the ordinary Joe he could make music even if he couldn't. "With this synthesizer you'll be making music in no time! Get it now, for only $[fill in]." :skull:
Alanis morrisette is Godawful.
Celine Dion is a twit, as are many/most musicians, but she's got serious pipes. I like listening to her sing.Quote:

Celine Dion, terrible. What makes it even worse is that I need groceries, and supermarketmanagers apparently are her greatest fans.
Just saw your post.Quote:

Sinatra didn't sell a billion albums and sell out a million shows over fifty-years because of a mistake in people's judgement, he was big because he was great.
There are lots of excellent musicians who "starve in the gutter", you can't blame those who succeed for it. If that's the case, then we have to shoot down Floyd, Zeppelin, the Beatles, and every other great band because some guy, somewhere, didn't make it rich.
Besides, true talent survives. That's why seventy-years later people still have pictures of Robert Johnson hanging in their house. Like me. ~:smoking:
GAH!! The radio station at my work is playing Sheryl Crow right now! Oh the pain, the pain..... :fainting:
Ballads, schmallads... my point is that Sinatra made something most (white? meh) people think of when someone utters the word "jazz," while, as far as innovation and true feeling for that amazing music, he was to jazz what something like Linkin Park is to rock: pop. And since I don't like pop, be it an imitation of hip-hop or be it something that was apparently made to pass for rock... ~;)Quote:

People liked Sinatra, and still do, because he sounds good. If he had a bad voice and gave a lousy performance he would not have lasted fifty-years in the business.Quote:

Just to humour me, could you ask one of those betrenched and underfed jazzmen you speak of to lift his head from the recesses of the drain pipe and tell us all how Frank "done him wrong"?
That has to be the only song from Celine Dion which I like.Quote:

The first song and only song that made me cry. :sweatdrop:
OK, I just found the worst song ever:
Vampires are alive
As said in the last paragraph of my last post, this is, indeed, my opinion. Sinatra, to me, is nothing more than a musician with little originality who took most of his music -- especially the tunes behind the singing -- from other people. To then overhear people considering him some kind of jazz icon (this not referring to your post but to things I often hear surrounding the man) is not exactly the best thing for my humor -- and just plain factually wrong. That's how simple it is.Quote:

Do you wish me dead? :laugh4: That must be one of the WORST songs I ever heard. It sounds more like it fits some kind of musical or something. Even if that'd be the case, it'd still be a piece of crap.Quote:

Wow. Those were both just....wow. My brain is shrieking, "Why??! What did I do to make you expose me to this?? What the **** did I do to deserve this??!! AAAAAAIIIEEEEE!!"
[Note to self: Never follow a link provided by Sasaki or Beirut ever, ever again.] :fainting:
I like the love you tender one. It's hilarious.
Watch this, I dare you.
