My vote: Alice in Chains. I tend to favor the more direct approach.

HOWEVER, Badmotorfinger is killer start to finish. Don't connect as much to the rest of the catalog though.

Two grunge titans, but if you said "They're just metal bands," I'd agree. Metal bands in jorts, that's all.

Now you may be tempted to say "The correct answer is MUDHONEY!!" and I'd agree with that too. But for now, just these two. We'll work on Mudhoney later.

Ozzy and Sharon have always had good ears for talent. Rhoads, but also Bob Daisley. The decline was sharp after Daisley left the scene for good. And Daisley always had this knack for writing lyrics like "Today was tomorrow yesterday," which is just stoned-dude nonsense, perfect for Ozzy. O...

And last I checked in with G-Off Tatay, he was doing group tours, which actually looked kinda fun.

He doing okay? I understand he likes going past the speed limit on his motorcycle.

Looking forward to reading your thoughts on the two recent records. For extra credit, maybe compile a 12-track “best of the worst” list (assuming that’s even possible)? I do enjoy making playlists, that sounds like an interesting (and very challenging) project. I like the idea of an Ozzy compilatio...

Okay, here are my reviews for Down to Earth , Under Cover , Black Rain , and Scream . Down to Earth : "A VERY slight improvement on Ozzmosis ." That's what I thought yesterday morning, when I was listening to it, but now I don't really remember much of it. Go up to the biggest Ozzy fan you...

I was going to make a point but nah, shooting cats sucks.

At least I'm not a big Chuck Berry fan. I'd really have to do some mental gymnastics there. Or Eternal Sunshine myself.

Yep - a bunch of slow six minute grunge songs to fall asleep to are not what I wanted out of Ozzy. Are you gonna review the rest of his albums? Ozzmosis is the last Ozzy album I ever bought or listened to all the way through. Yeah, I'm having fun and I like reading other people's takes on these. I ...

So weird to think about that album almost being 20 years old. I remember liking it at the time, but I haven't listened to it since. They had a video for every song, right? Cool idea, don't remember any of the videos. I saw them live, but I don't remember anything other than they played "Big Tal...

This is a nice piece of business right here. Well done.

I was a huge Stern fan, especially those first satellite years. In the last decade or so, I've listened off and on in the 6 month Sirius-XM trial subs I'd get after buying a car. And I would turn it off, I was so bored. I thought I was just getting older and maybe stopped thinking he was funny. I'm ...

For some reason, I love Perry Mason. Just watched a video of it with Holmes and Trujillo. It was much heavier than I expected it to sound, live. I always liked "Perry Mason" but when it came out, and I saw the title, I was pretty confused. And in hindsight, sort of a risk? He was trying t...

The best kind of rock is dumb. Example: Kiss. Kiss was at their best when they were basically apes with instruments. Grand Funk Railroad's "We're an American Band" is possibly the dumbest song ever written and it is also one of the greatest. If you told me you had to play a race of aliens ...

This was downright HOSTILE TenLennery and you can't let me get away with it.

By the way, "Aimee" ended up being the biggest surprise, it's probably one of my favorites. It's the only one that kinda sounds like old Ozzy. It was a demo, right? Could've easily swapped out one of the midtempo dirges but you can't have TWO songs about your kids on the album. And songs a...

Giving it a fair listen, as this was never a favorite of mine. Had an edible so that should give me some fresher ears. Or make me believe Ozzy is talking to me directly. However, MAJOR recency bias, and I'll explain: There are several songs on this album about him dying! I don't know how I can liste...

I don't remember making that connection, but I was in junior high and pretty dumb.

I think subconsciously I was just like "He's English, they like their trains over there."

Not sure if some of you guys have heard this, just listened on Accuradio and I loved it! Bob Mould - It's too late https://youtu.be/Y-fPibdYPJM What do you think? FANTASTIC. I've always liked Bob Mould but the older I get, the more I put his albums on. HIs recent one, Here We Go Crazy , is one of m...

Hold on, those songs won’t fit on a single album. You’d have to get rid of some of them. But which ones?

Oh man, that alternate universe is wild to think about. LorettaMcEntire on the Hussy Board, telling us about Alan Jackson's hog.

Tried to adopt the milkshakes and Fast Erpussycat lifestyle of LAGR and I still get ridicule.

What I'd like to know is exactly when the fuck you became a stoner. I'll wait. https://i.imgur.com/WR5Dpyj.gif I think three years now? Whenever I started telling everyone here I love them, man.

This thread is cool! Enjoying reading it. Not adding anything, we just don't have heart icons to hand out.

Listening now, I think the dud on Tears is "Time After Time." I might've said that before; I've never been a big fan. And no album other than Slave to the Grind needs THREE ballads.

"No More Tears," the song. I mean... come on. DOES ANYBODY HATE THIS SONG? Probably overplayed by now but when this came out, I was out of my mind. I thought I was done with Ozzy and I went absolutely bonkers for this song. Immediately begged my mom to take me to the mall ( :lol: ) so I co...

Listened to No Rest for the Wicked earlier today; listening to No More Tears now. No Rest for the Wicked : Never got into this one, still not into it. It starts off really strong. Once it hits "Bloodbath," it's a slog until "Demon Alcohol," then it just peters out after that. (I ...

I would invite all MAGAts to subscribe to the Dine with Kent account on Tik Tok and watch his videos. They all start out with a white guy in a truck, so immediately they will be engaged. I clicked and thought "Uh-oh, about to hear some like-it-is telling." But then he goes and eats at diff...

Yeah, I don't think we're going to see any new rock stars, it's just not that world anymore. I think a couple people touched on this in my PERSONALITIES thread but you need mystery for there to be rock stars and we don't really have much of that in music anymore. That's how I think about Michael Jac...

Which do you prefer? Even before two weeks ago, if I was going to reach for an album by one of the two, it would've still been Ozzy. Sabbath too, even though I love those Dio records. Love Dio's solo records. I'm just an Ozzy guy. Now put Dio up against most any other contemporary of his, I'm proba...

I'm not worried about rock music dying. Playing in a rock band is like skateboarding--you're always going to look cool doing it. And girls like guys that look cool.

As long as there's pussy, rock music will never die. GET SPHEERIS ON THE HORN, THAT'S A GOOD LINE.
