No. I should have worked for the industry. There is no better taste in music than what I possess. No credit to me though-I was born with it I suppose.


Can you support the Coldplay thing? I mean , it just seems like a bandwagon kind of thing that I would have thought beneath you. That, or I overestimated you.

What did Coldplay steal?
I honestly don't know. I can only name one of their songs.

It seems obvious to me, but I like Satriani.

Judge for yourself.

Coldplay ripped off Satriani?

Pretty darn close!

Of course Ice 9 (which comes up next on the you tube sequence) sounds like it was stolen from ZZ Top.

Obviously Speed of Sound ripped off Clocks. Just changed the lyrics. It's like they forgot they already made that song once.

Talk is just another horrible, terrible, abominable song.

Two from my childhood that are outrageously dubious:

Run Joey Run by David Geddes. Went to #4 on the charts. LINK

MacArthur Park by Richard Harris.My Mom would play this one on the reel to reel. LINK

I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no !

Couldn't stand Macarena. One of the dumbest songs in history and it to me epitomizes liberals/Democrats. Al Gore and the Dems even did the Macarena at the 1996 DNC.

I remember that song.

This one is the worst, though:

Nikki isn't that great of a musician and that's his piano part.

I've always been under the impression that Tommy wrote that part (since he always played it live). I did a little interwebz sleuthing and found this:
"Mötley Crüe singer Vince Neil recalled writing the song: "I remember like it was yesterday," he said, "sitting in the recording studio when Tommy [Lee, drummer] came up with the piano chords and I almost immediately started humming."
I wouldn't know one way or the other, though...

thanks for the laughs (while grimacing) remembering many of these.

Possibly my least liked hit of alltime was #1 for a month in 1973- Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree

"Knock 3 Times" was no walk in the park, either.

Then there was Neil Diamond's "Cracklin' Rose." She was a storebought woman, you know.
