| The Music Thread: Songs That Are Invalid![]() Okay...that's settled. Below the fold are a couple of songs that are flawed. Illogical. Incorrect. If you can think of any others, mention them in the comments and the best one will win a Two Year Platinum membership with Troll-B-GonTM! The ampersand utility is on the fritz, so that isn't part of the deal. Sorry. It doesn't get much better than Johnny Cash in his prime, and Folsom Prison Blues is one of his better songs. But he killed a man in Reno, which the last time I checked was in Nevada, and he is in prison in Folsom California? Sorry, but that would never happen so the song is invalid.I like old U2. . . . Now that you have stopped laughing their first few albums are pretty good. The 1980s were good to them, and even into the 1990s with Achtung Baby they turned out some solid music and became a huge and successful band...and it all went to their heads, especially Bono's and that thoroughly pedestrian lead guitarist with the asshole name. But... A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle U2's song, Tryin' To Throw Your Arms Around The World isn't bad, but that one line...that one really stupid, condescending, patronizing and objectively incorrect line makes the entire song worthless and invalid. "She dreams in color she dreams in red" Better Man Wow. Pearl Jam. What the hell does that mean? Which is it? Color...or red? Get it straight! Oh, I really don't like Pearl Jam. Last fall I spent several days in the car, and I played my music library set on random. Apparently I used to think Pearl Jam was good, but I found myself skipping all of their music. Anyone want to defend them? And a few more songs from my playlist of the past few weeks... The Band. Not a large body of work, but there are some gems! Here is maybe their best one!

First concert I ever saw was the Allman Brothers in 1978 at Mid Hudson Civic Center. Awesome show which turned me into a music head for the rest of my life. Pearl Jam did a song on the movie soundtrack for Singles called State of Love and Trust which was IMHO their best, but it was never on one of their albums Eddie Vedder is a putz however

I've learned to play and sing three sad songs about drug addiction.
The Rolling Stones' "Sister Morphine." Johnny Cash's cover of Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt." And John Prine's "Summer's End." Then there is Bobby Braddock and Curley Putman's "He Stopped Loving Her Today," made real by George Jones, which I sing along with but don't play. I guess I should learn the guitar part for this one, too. No drug addiction, just death. And "The Long Dark Veil" as done by The Band. Shit, that's a sad one too, about death.

Van Morrison: Tupelo Honey
Sorry, CBD. "Tupelo Honey" is invalid. The lyrics "She's as sweet as Tupelo honey. Represents a factual error. Honey is composed almost entirely of sugar. The human body is far less than even 5% sugar. There is no way that "she" could be as sweet as Tupelo Honey even if she covered herself entirely in honey and Peeps.

Yeah, that's always a strong contender. Great song, too.
I rarely like covers of songs I enjoy as much as that one, but Natalie Merchant did one that is pretty good. I think it was directly involved with the Cowboy Junkies somehow, so that might have something to do with it. https://youtu.be/jLPUujjRzgw (her ending is nice, I think.

I like old U2. I think their last good album was the Unforgettable Fire.
I liked the Steel Drivers as musical performers with and without Chris Stapleton better than Chris Stapleton solo. It's not stated on Folsom Prison Blues that he's in the prison for shooting the man in Reno. Just that at some point before he was imprisoned in Folsom Prison, he had shot a man in Reno. (I've been to the Folding Prison gift shop.) Technically, red is a color. So if she dreams in red, she is dreaming in color; that color is red. I can't defend Pearl Jam. I don't think they're very good. My husband thinks the Allman Brothers were one of the greatest bands ever. He mad a pilgrimage Macon to visit the Big House, the cemetery, and where Duane's wreck happened. Tied to the Whipping Post is a great time. Me, I love the Band. The Weight is fantastic. Had a crush on Robbie Robertson for decades. Also love Van Morrison. Tupelo honey, Brown-Eyed Girl, Gloria, Moondance, Wild Night... Saw him in concert a couple of times. Eh.

I like old U2. I think their last good album was the Unforgettable Fire.
Posted by: Lee Also at February 04, 2023 09:03 PM (YPgjG) I sort of agree, I can't say Joshua Tree is not a fine album though, just overplayed, and the catalyst for them becoming the worlds greatest douchebag collective. Also, there was a live EP they released, I think it was after Unforgettable Fire, which is awesome.

Posted by: mrp That's a great song.

Some which barely make it above a whisper. I got more into women singing after my first wife died. She was a world class vocalist. Not a pop singer though, so getting to hear other women's voices was a way to get close enough, without getting too close. If that makes any sense.

What's the saddest song you know?
How about a whole album? I cried through the Jethro Tull Thick as a Brick II concert. Still can't bring myself to buy the CD or listen to it because it depressed me so much. I'm the same age as Gerald Bostock. The premise of TAB II is what happened the Gerald when he grew up? I knew what happened to me, and I never accomplished much. Gerald's "what ifs" as imagined by Ian Anderson were a range of "life is crap" to "not accomplishing anything resembling the potential he had at twelve." Like me.

You know, a few weeks ago there was a discussion on guilty pleasure songs. I said I didn't have any. I might be wrong about that, and it might not be a guilty pleasure thing as much as a I wasn't expecting this. Some years back Mrs B's sister and niece was over, and they were in the living room watching Letterman, and this artist comes out to perform as I was walking through the room, and I had heard the name before, and really had no interest, like super low on the food chain. Anyway, this chick comes out, and it was not what I was expecting, and not what I thought I knew about her. The song is kinda like what you would hear on MTV in the 80's from a chick fronted medium range rock band. No way this is that chick, this latin pop singer I heard about. No way. Not with pasty white les paul playing guitar players and a pasty white bass player slamming away. Fucking Shakira, I was shocked. First time I ever saw her. I tracked down the performance.

Sort of music related, I just got a book of Hipgnosis' complete album covers. They were responsible for all those weird, surreal Pink Floyd, UFO and Led Zeppelin covers.
A lot of very cool stuff, with some surprisingly bland things as well. Bad Company's first album, with just the name--that was one of theirs. But otherwise they probably had the best album covers out there. (Anything labelled "Exotica" had some pretty great ones too.) Posted by: BeckoningChasm at February 04, 2023 09:35 PM (rh25V) 416

Not many happy songs in metal, but there is what I call happy metal. Helloween is happy metal. Great band. I think their song Future World gave me the idea to think of them as happy metal. Their lyrics are usually upbeat.

What's the happiest song you've ever heard
Posted by: DB Here are some of the happiest "sounding" songs you'll ever hear by The Housemartins. But, the lyrics are a weird mix of Christianity and social Limey anger. "Happy Hour" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVMq2OqPbNU "We're Not Deep" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpaZyX6mNqk "Five Get Over Excited" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qr4p9-l0iHE Excellent driving music.

>>Slightly easier to understand than Kurt was. The really discomfiting aspect is that it's using the cord progression from Let It Be. And with the Anime and Japanese girl singing it, it's some type of auditory horrorscape. Posted by: Thomas Bender at February 04, 2023 10:04 PM (up/3i) 521
Happiest "song" for me - The final chorus in Beethoven's opera "Fidelio".

I'm no Pearl Jam fan but you should have used another of their songs to make your point. It's the best song they ever did in my opinion.

Claiming Allman Bros as best rock band when they're most certainly NOT a rock band is ignorant enough. But to make that claim without putting into evidence "You Don't Love Me" from Live at Fillmore East? Such an opinion should be ignored.
And what is "Best"? If "Best" refers to a moment in time, a strong case for Band of Gypsies on New Year's Eve, 1970. If "Best" as a catalog of work, candidates abound - Stones, The Who, Grateful Dead, Arrosmith, etc. If "Best" as iconic or legacy, there is only The Beatles.
