Truth is I’ve struggled like buggery to listen to a complete album with most of the album choices so far.
Big Star, well its pop init, and not at all bad pop at that. Big Star are one of those bands I’m sure I’ve heard on a mates system at some point or other but never actually sat down and listened to let alone bought an album.
They do sound like a lot of other bands I agree, but when those bands are the Kinks and ELO for example I can’t see it being a problem. When did you last hear a band that didn’t sound like anyone else?
So yeah, no problem listening without grinding my teeth or reaching for a puke bag; no desire to tell the OP what appalling taste in music they’ve got and recommend a hearing test.
Good well played above average pop and that will do me. If there was a 1 to 10 score with half units I would give this 6.5 maybe 7 after a good day. I’ve had a good day so 4 from me.
Cheers Chris, good call.
