agreed.
music is built on bricolage LMP, and that song is one of many bearing a resemblance to Lust for Life.

Yeah, I always thought Jet was ripping off the Supremes with that riff. Guess their musical gene pool is even shallower than I could have guessed.

How does using that You Can't Hurry Love drum beat equal having a shallow musical gene pool?
I like the fact that there's a consistent beat from You Can't Hurry Love through Lust For Life, Love For Tender (by Elvis Costello & The Attractions), A Town Called Malice (by The Jam) to Are You Gonna Be My Girl.

I didn't think about the Motown influence until afterward, though I don't have as much of an issue with Iggy taking something from Motown and applying it to his style of music. While Jet's going to the same well, they're also producing a remarkably similar sound to the artist that previously went there, you know? I agree that it's a fun song, but I have a hard time hearing it on its own terms.

You want to talk about derivative, what about Jet's Look What You've Done? Sexy Sadie, anyone?
That shit is unreal.

Oh wow. At least "Karma Police" only borrows the basic chord structure.
Another big one that comes to mind is Cat Stevens' "Father and Son" unintentionally being ripped by The Flaming Lips for "Fight Test." When it feels far enough removed in style and tone, I don't take as much umbrage with it (and yes, I'm glad that I was able to use the word "umbrage" successfully in context).

Listened to the first half of Yoshimi today in the car.
Still YAWN.
I love Fight Test mucho, tho.

That album makes me so sad. Definitely strikes a chord for me emotionally, which sets it apart.
Sadly, yeah, the second half is a bit samey, and a lot of it just floats around. Occasionally it will hit on something beautiful or profound, but there's a visceral element missing to it. Maybe it was polished too brightly, I dunno. Good record, but not near the top of the flaming lip pile for me.

Sea Change is my least favourite Beck album. I'm aware that it was influenced by a break-up and a lot of real genuine pain must have gone into it, but to me Beck is just not a kind of vocalist who can convey emotion or heartbreak well. He's just flat and tiresome to listen to on this album. I almost wish someone else sang on this record, because from the musical standpoint it is truly sublime.

i prefer this version YouTube - grant lee phillips - boys don't cry to The Cure original.

I think The Divison Bell is an excellent Floyd album. I'd take it over The Wall in terms of the overall content, although the latter obviously has higher points.

This talk of The Cure makes me wonder why we don't discuss that particular band more often.

Do you mean from the standpoint of unpopular opinions or from the standpoint of HOLY SHIT THE MOTHER FUCKING CURE.
Because I can get behind both, but I prefer the latter.

Back to the terrible songs by great bands discussion, "Harlem Shuffle" anyone?

Definitely the latter for me. I'm quite the Cure fan.

That's tough...probably Seventeen Seconds for me, followed by Disintegration and Head on the Door. Seventeen Seconds really struck me in a different way after riding all across England in a train.
Regarding The Top, I think that it is an exemplary "grower" album. There is some great music in there, but multiple listens are required to find it.

I'm not a big Cure fan but the first 4 songs of Disintegration are lovely.

Nice! I think Faith is a little more consistent, probably my third favorite, but Seventeen Seconds is a really odd grower of a record. Definitely an interesting listen.
The other two are my first and second favorites, and they switch, depending on my mood.

I have to go with Disintegration possibly followed by Head on the Door or Pornography. I've never given Seventeen Seconds enough attention though. Which is a shame.
That's the weird part, because I agree, BUT, I loved that album from the very first go. It just immediately clicked.

An opinion you guys can hate on a few levels:
My favorite RHCP albums are By the Way and Californiacation. Don't really like what came before except for a few songs, and the double album afterwards has maybe 2 songs I like.

I kind of love Stadium Arcadium.
But only if I'm listening to the one-disc version I created.
