ubit Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1452104926' post='2946491'] Apparently as I dislike all the songs, the internet thinks I'm [i]not [/i]an asshole, but that's just nonsense because I [i]know for sure[/i] that I am. Surveys!! They are meaningless... [/quote] I'm pretty sure it's done with the tongue firmly in cheek. I too, like some of the songs, so by default, I'm an asshole too. Music is subject to taste, so one mans asshole is another mans mate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I've never understood the criticism of Hotel California: it's a great tune, well played, well sung, well arranged, well produced, and a biting social commentary. The list is just a daft bit'o'fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seashell Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I like Hotel California. Other than that, I am in total agreement with this list. Some of them I 've never heard, and the rest do indeed suck. Especially Sweet Caroline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I think 7 of the tunes have some merit. Assuming this is supposed to be funny, I don't really understand the humour. The insults and rants aren't even clever - which would help - just random horrible things to say. Whatever the guy is being paid it is too much.

neepheid Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I like some of those songs, I dislike some of them, I hadn't even heard of some of them. So, music then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzneck Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) [quote name='alittlebitrobot' timestamp='1452032783' post='2945824'] I don't like any of these songs, but I'm not happy about my musical taste lining up (if only briefly) with someone being such an arsehole about it. This really is lose-lose. [/quote] +1 and the author is welcome to use my avatar any time he / she likes, free o' charge.

Nicko Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Well, I cant say I'm that keen on any of them, but in what way does the author qualify as the arbiter of good taste? Some of the commentary is funny in a school playground type of way. The authors biog is [color=#000000][font=Arial,]Before landing at Mandatory.com, Paul honed his skills at a variety of web sites ranging from Maxim.com to SI.com. In that time, he's done everything from review DVDs to interview LeBron James. His current passions include YouTube and Twitter.[/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Arial,]So he has masses of talent then.[/font][/color] This is like judgng my character from Katie Hopkins rant.

I can't stand the horrible bugger and am amazed that she gets airtime again and again. Just shows you that she obviously makes money for someone by courting controversy !

bassbiscuits Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Yay I'm definitely an asshole according to this. Unless the journo is just a ranty idiot with a chip on his shoulder and we're all just happy normal bass playing folk... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lfalex v1.1 Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I learned little from these. I already knew I was an chocolate starfish, but am not a psychopath. It seems I also don't have my finger on the pulse of mainstream contemporary music. But I knew that, too. And all this from "Hotel California" and "My Sharona"...
