Rolling Stone's got a list of the Top 50 Uncoolest Records...not all of which're uncool - Weezer is not uncool!! (Andrew W.K. *is* the stupidest *ever*, tho, so...!)
The Moog Cookbook stuff is just *soooo* much fun...I've got their version of "Ziggy Stardust"...it's great... ^_^
[Trivia note: The first use of the Moog synthesizer on a mainstream record was on the Monkees' Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd. album in 1967...not sure if it was "Daily Nightly" (played by Micky <3) or "Star Collector" (Paul Beaver) that they did first, tho.]
Dude! Klaatu's on the list! ...Daffy knows who they are...Pet Shop Boys?! C'mon!...some of this's legitly *good stuff*!..gahhhhh...
But this blew my mind:
"Hanson
Middle of Nowhere
1997
No doubt relieved by the snuffing of the castrati trend, the Okie brothers passed through puberty ready to MMMBop.
Sounds like: The Monkees' Head, recorded on a steady diet of Jolt Cola.
Best song: "Weird," which actually is!"
*raising eyebrow* Fer one thing, MoN's a great album (for what it is, which's pop, but it's Hanson! Good stuff!...say what you will. I don't care. I love them dearly. Not only's Tay gorgeous, but they've got a lot of talent...a lot more'n a lot of other bands I could name..)
But Monkees' Head?!?!?!?...wow....
...tho I'm even more impressed with the fact that whoever wrote this *knew of* Monkees' Head! ~_^
..tho Head sounds *nothing* like MoN...not in *any* way...Head was quite out there, some psychedelia, some Broadway, some rock, some just..beautiful ("Porpoise Song" and "As We Go Along", two of the best songs ever)...and MoN's...pop. Good pop, but very easily classified as such. And "Mmmbop" is actually a wonderfully fun, innocent, *happy* little song, and I still love it. "Weird" has some great lyrics in it, and "Yearbook" I've always loved...and "Man From Milwaukee" is just the coolest *ever*. ^_^
"I'm talkin' to Mars, you might think that I'm wacky,
I know they'll come get me, come get me someday..."
~_^
...
WHAT?!?!?! Monkees' Greatest Hits is on here!!!! What is WRONG with these people?!?! Monkees were/are like, the BEST!...err, well, ok, musically/idealogically, U2 still win, but--!
In protest, I'm not even goin' thru the rest of the list... x___x
