Dare I say it, but I never really liked the Beatles' White Album. It has some great moments on it, but there are so many WTF songs I really only ever listen to it for shock value.

I detest Ob-La-Di. Something about that song I just can't stand. The goofy bubbliness of the whole thing.

Similarly, I never got into the Who's biggest records: Tommy and Who's Next. Daltrey never appealed to me as a frontman (a lot of mid-range shrieking and limited personality), and Pete Townsend seems content to go overboard when some restraint is required.

The Beatles producer, George Martin, famously said that the White Album would have made a great single album.

But John's overloaded bass lines are kind of nifty. He's funny lookin'.

RW, I fully agree with what you said about music and taste, it's totally subjective, The Clash rule all...

Thirded. I might be unique in that I like later Clash more than early Clash.

Also, we know opinions about music are subjective. If it needs to be pointed out I worry about the sanity of the internets and those who dwell within it.

How do you feel about "Cut The Crap"?
