StevieFan13 wrote:- Prince - Purple Rain

Why did I think you didn't like "Purple Rain"?

And to answer your question: I guess nothing makes me happier than when a song I like comes on? For me, music isn't exactly emotive, but instead, I focus on how good it is.

Oh, dear, I thought she died when I saw this thread. So happy she didn't. While I've never been too interested in Olivia Newton-John, I must admit that I actually adore "Hopelessly Devoted to You", "Magic", and more importantly, "Physical". Guys, if you haven't seen the "Physical" video yet, you mus...

Well, um, one of ISIS' attacks during that evening in Paris was actually at a concert. So, no, concerts aren't always a safe place. However, I cannot imagine how Ariana must be feeling right now. There's rumors already that she's concerning her concert in London that's on the 25th. I mean, the Rolli...

Thank you for turning Superpan onto this thread, acroamor! I really appreciate it. I personally like his/her selection and of course, yours too.

Interestingly enough, there is an art movie somewhat about Barbara called Barbara that just played in the Cannes Film Festival.

You made me happy. Nina is getting some love. Woo-hoo! Woo-hoo!

Okay, now it's time for Little Girl Blue and Pastel Blues to make it to the album charts.

Hey, can you do genres, Bleu? I would sincerely appreciate it.

What a shock! I think this is the first death of a major music artist in 2017 Well, definition of major artist can vary, but I'm sure we can at least all agree on Chuck Berry [cough]Chuck Berry[cough]... I forgot Chuck! Ok, second death... Yes, Chris had one of the greatest voices in Rock (not only...

Yeah, that's what you get for not featuring Harry Styles.

Just jesting.

I dislike it because it features a prominent sample of an ABBA song ("Gimme Gimme Gimme") that did the whole dance-pop/synthpop thing a LOT better. If you're going to rip off a great song, at least do it justice. It did it justice. Hell, it did it better than the original which wasn't even great by...

"Hung Up" is my favorite Madonna song! How can anyone not like it?

The thing that bothers me about him, and it's not his fault really, is that some people like for example Eric Bolling of Fox News, loves Macklemore but doesn't like Kanye. And I think that's racism. You've got to give me something else. Some people can prefer Macklemore over Kanye without it being ...

No, I knew it was James Brown, I just chose to ignore the "count it off" thing and I was a bit perplexed why you choose to answer me like that.

I can't believe they don't have the Beatles' "Let It Be" on that list. I don't like that song, but I feel like it had to be such a defining moment of 1970. It was the death of the Beatles, you know? But I definitely wasn't alive in the '70s so I wasn't there to tell you for sure. Take what I just s...

I don't know "Same Love" well, I've actually only heard it once or twice. (I hardly ever listen to radio.) So I'm curious why it is getting so much hate. Jeff, you wrote: "a pro-gay rights song in a genre not especially known for progressive attitudes on gender and sexuality" As far as what you wro...

Last night, I listened to PWR BTTM's album and I totally thought "Answer My Text" was one of the silliest things I've ever heard. I'm a bit perplexed as to how it is a highlight.

Once upon a time, I would have given it a 10/10. Now it's a 8/10. It's truly spectacular and great, but lately, I've come to the realization that Hiroshima mon amour does the truth-or-fiction and the playing-with-time thing much better. I still love Delphine Seyrig's outfits in this movie and the ar...

Eh, "Music" is still better than anything Green Day has done, in my opinion.

Is this 'Worst' list or 'Most overrated list'? The former has a way of transforming into the latter on web forums no matter what the topic. People don't say what they really think is worst, just the one they hate the most relative to its reputation. To me a big component of song badness is how ofte...

Madonna | Music Okay, why don't you like this song? It's like the last truly great song she's ever done. And, yes, I do remember "Hung Up" when I write this. It's just tuneless noise to me. I don't like the beat, though I will say Madonna's voice is fine. I much prefer Don't Tell Me. I actually can...

My big 'Don't get' this week is Nancy & Lee. Feel like it tried to coast on charm and character and ends up feeling hokey. They are chattering to each other about the song while they are singing it, and the effect to me is making it all seem campy and stupid. Saddened that you feel this way. Like s...

It's Jaws. Of course, there's probably tons of great blu-rays out there.

Reading what people are saying, I feel bad about giving this the lowest score so far. I simply do not like Spielberg, but somehow I actually like this movie. The gif Bleu posted is of an absolutely iconic shot that I have never ever forgotten. In fact, it's probably is tied for first place alongside...

So, um, can I still listen to PWR BTTM's new album?

For "Freak Like Me", can I actually suggest the Sugababes version? It's basically the lyrics over Gary Numan's "Are 'Friends' Electric?" and it works so, so well.

For Lohan, she was definitely great when she was great, but I need a little more evidence. I'm sure she's done some great stuff, and she's already kind of an icon, but aside from Mean Girls I can't think of another great Lohan performance off the top of my head (and I am of the minority that likes ...

Also Jennifer Lawrence wasn't even making movies by then. If this list was updated, then yeah, totally, she'd make this in a heartbeat. I am not too sure about if Ryan Reynolds would be included, though. What I meant was that she'd make the cut if they updated it. And yeah, maybe not Ryan Reynolds....

I have to admit that I absolutely need to listen to Perfume Genius' new album. Actually, I still need to listen to Too Bright. I still sometimes play "Queen" and what a tune that is.

They remembered Robin Williams, the GOAT, and that's what's important. I think this was made before Scarlett Johansson was well-known as a dramatic actress - I would've included others like Ryan Reynolds or Jennifer Lawrence, but none of them had hit their stride yet. I was looking at this list for...

Jack Nicholson is fine, but his wife and son make me cringe. I agree with you about Shelley Duvall, but I thought Danny Lloyd was excellent in this movie. So much of the movie felt like it was rested on his shoulders and Kubrick is especially notorious for his repeated takes, but the quality of his...

Thanks for the awesome list of albums to check out. (If I haven't really heard a lot of these albums, games like this gives me musical fatigue so I'm not voting.)

For those who are voting for both E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and Gandhi, why is it so popular and why do you guys like it? I find those two pretty bad. Ben Kingsley was really great in the latter, though. Maybe I'm just missing something that's "good" about those two.

Again, I like it because it's catchy. But I probably should've said Scarborough Fair instead of The Sound of Silence, and I actually enjoy them both. There isn't really a S&G song I don't like. Paul Simon solo is a bit more iffy. I have to tell you that if you ever do a Simon & Garfunkel/Paul Simon...

A 10/10. One of the absolutely greatest movies ever made. Each time I watch it, I get an epiphany from it. And I've seen it almost ten times. No other movie has ever done that for me. I hope this one does very, very well in the '80s poll.

In some songs I feel he tries too hard to come across as deeply sensitive (it’s what ruins his popular Fix You for me, for example) Fix You and Paradise are crapola, though.

I'm not huge on Coldplay, but I find their Coldplay-iest songs to be their best.
