[Plugger35]

I considered nomming this Steely Dan classic off Can't Buy A Thrill.




Probably would've attracted the Brunchers votes who seem to only vote for songs produced before 1980.

Not accurate...but thank you anyway.

 

[Hoos]

Not sure Men at Work is outside the square.

It was awful.

So inside the square.

Inside, outside, anywhere you like, they're awful.

 

[Hoos]

That is as good if not better than anything Lennon and McCartney wrote

Not anywhere near them, particularly Lennon.

But that's my opinion.

 

[AuntyBlindEye]

Lol Lennon.

 

[Plugger35]

Backs up my point when I said that you Brunchers don't like anything produced after 1980 when you mention Lennon.

He didn't produce anything good after 1980.

Roxy Music scored a no.1 with a cover of one of his songs in 1981 though.

One of the greatest covers of all time.

 

[Loonerty]

Bingo

I didn't bring Lennon into the conversation anyway; you did.

Would have been remarkably impressive if he had produced anything good after 1980. You know, being dead and everything.

Stevie Ray Vaughan was after 1980. So were The Black Crowes come to think of it. A fellow bruncher turned me on to the Felice Brothers and The Fleet Foxes, and they are both well after 1980. My point is there is plenty of good stuff after 1980 that I like...just not to the same quality of that mid '60's to mid '70's peak.

 

[Hoos]

Lol Lennon.

In what way?

 

[Marklar_33]

Before anyone points it out, the official title for Rhythm of the Night is actually THE Rhythm of the Night.

Does that mean I have to billy it solely for being putrid instead of a petty reason?

Yes.

The list goes on and on, basically most Fall Out Boy songs are easily 5 words or longer

Infinity on high is easily one of their best albums, their last 3 haven't been great. Still they were pretty good live (Saw em March 2018)
My favourite song is irrationally this



Idk why, nothing super creative about it, simplistic beat and simplistic lyrics. It's sadly never been played live, I feel like it'd be a great song live especially with the Yo ho ho whoaaa bit in the chorus

Inside, outside, anywhere you like, they're awful.

Men At Work?

I dunno, haven't really heard them. But that was an odd clip.

 

[por_please_ya]

Men At Work?

I dunno, haven't really heard them. But that was an odd clip.

Heard them, seen them, tried to forget them.

 

[_Rake_]

Heard them, seen them, tried to forget them.

Do you come from the land down under?

 

[por_please_ya]

Death Cab have many that would fit this theme too










And my favourite song by The Postal Service

 

[GreyCrow]

Love like electrocution have FOB covered for song titles IMO.

Country and Western makes FOB and LOE look like amateurs
