Yeah the Doors had great songs and long shit songs, like every band.

The Beatles had long shit songs, Led Zeppelin, Kanye, Gustav Mahler...

Which long songs by Pink Floyd are shitty? πŸ€”

I'm not especially fond of Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together In A Cave And Grooving With A Pict.

I had to look up if that was even a real song. 🀣

Looking at the lyrics I can already tell I am not gonna like it, despite that title definitely being right up my alley.

I don’t think that one qualifies as a particularly long Pink Floyd song

Kanye didn't have great songs.

Sadly, he did have a few great songs on albums ~3-5ish.

I haven't heard them. When i asked someone years ago I heard some fundamentally structurally okay but musically unsophisticated poetically sloppy high-school-wank pablum.

I'm going strictly by the performance in Block Party, which was pretty fucking awesome.

So a song worked well as part of a show, but is it a good song as a stand-alone music?

[–] eestileib@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah I didn't really understand what he was saying half the time but I was pumped.

Was going to write a list but I'm too lazy so I'll just go with the first one that comes to mind: all falls down.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The Beatles had long shit songs

Such as?

[–] eestileib@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Number ... Nine?

I'm not a White Album fan, lots of self indulgent stuff.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Lol fair enough, you've found the one Beatles song worth skipping

[–] eestileib@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I sang Beatles songs to my kids as their lullabies and in parts with them today, I consider them the greatest band of all time, and they still had clinkers.

"For the Benefit of Mister Kite" is also kinda meh.

You fucking what mate?

K & H will assure the production will be second to none, but you are not invited

And that means you will never see Henry the Horse dance the waltz

That's ok, I can hang out in Strawberry Fields forever.
