on 12/21/20 at 7:08 pm to HoodieThe out of place song. I don’t know if they think it’ll be a radio hit or the artist just got obsessed with it and had to include it, but it kills the vibe of the album.
Southeastern by Isbell has this problem. Great album to listen straight through, but then Super 8 comes on and wrecks it all to hell.

Wow, really? The sequence of guitar double stops alternating with synthesizer taken over by the wistful vocals is very evocative to me. Then again, I also like the intro to "Venus and Mars." lol
BTW, anyone who doesn't own the Bluray of "Rockshow" (1980) needs to get it. Sad to realize the lead guitarist, Jimmy McCullough, died of an overdose in 1979 before the film was even released. Also ironic that he played his anti-drug song "Medicine Jar" during the set and wasn't known as a junkie. Crazy.

on 12/24/20 at 11:57 am to blade brownSongs predicated on the word bitch.
Tambourine's on stage, in the audience, or most anywhere but a child's hand.
Audience sing along's where you can't here the audience.
and
Words that you can't understand are bad enough, but there are whole genre's were this is actively sought out and pseudo perfected. Which to me reeks of either being afraid or ashamed of the lyrics.

on 1/7/21 at 9:36 am to HoodieSimultaneous but different solos in a song.
Tony Immomi is famous for this.
Sleeping Village and Lord of this World are 2 examples.
Listening to learn them is difficult and I just have to follow the most dominant one.

Not a fan of the chant at end of Fearless, wish they would’ve just done an instrumental coda
re: Pet peeves in albums or songsPosted by RoscoeSanCarlos on 1/8/21 at 7:49 am to Pooturd
on 1/8/21 at 7:49 am to PooturdI think this is a generational thing and am not challenging your opinion. Late '60s through '70s had great guitar playing, solos included (Stairway, Freebird, Blue Sky, etc.). The '80s post-Van Halen hair metal solos were awful and felt more like filler than a part of the song. Nirvana helped push the gratuitous solo out of style, but still had sloppy ones. Radio formats across all genres had the final say so... verse, chorus, verse chorus, bridge, outro in 3:30 minutes or less.
There's the live side of the equation where the musicians are interacting with one another. They most often don't care so much about the commercial aspect (Jazz & Fusion, Jam Bands, etc.). When everyone on stage falls into the pocket, they can feel it and it's pretty awesome. This is hard to achieve and drives everyone to play again the next night. It's more about their experience and is probably similar to how surfers aspire to catch the perfect wave.
Teenagers in 1980 wanted to hear shredding guitar notes like Eddie Van Halen. Teenagers today have no interest in an instrumental solos. In the end music is simple... if it sounds good to the listener, then it sounds good and each generation has their musical "thing."

This is why in my teen years I had cassettes.

The Stranger song begins with whistling and the last track of the album ends with the same whistling.
If that whistling started and ended the album it would have been nice continuity.
Nice idea! I bet if Billy Joel was asked about that today he might place his hand of his chin and go "hmmm...".

Orchestras and string sections in songs by bands with no business using them. It's one thing to do it if you are the Moody Blues or ELO but otherwise, particularly in country songs--because nothing says country like a bunch of fat balding guys in tuxedos reading sheet music-at best it comes off as pretentious and artsy-fartsy. At worst it saps all of the life and energy out of a song.
I disagree. ‘Cheap Silver and Solid Country Gold’ by Mike and the Moonpies is a masterpiece.

3. The synth washes at the beginning of "Jet Airliner" by Steve Miller.
For me, BB King’s Now Appearing at Ole Miss is an outstanding performance ruined by unnecessary post-production overdubs (credited as “Sweetening” on the liner notes) by noted samba percussionist Nana Vasconcelos, who had no business working on a blues album.

Ruining a a great song with a stupid arse outro.
See, e.g., "I am trying to break your heart" by Wilco.
