Wow. You must have really hated it, to have not at least given it to someone else...(who could then possibly have shared your point of view?) :P

I'm just funnin' ya.

Evil Woman is a song that was written in 5 minutes, as Jeff himself stated (a simple song but well performed). Nevertheless, the rest of the disc is nothing less than great. Songs such s Fire On High, Waterfall and Nightrider are amazing works. Let alone albums like Eldordo, Out of the Blue and A New World Record.

Evil Woman at least is catchy.


The Travelling Shits, on the other hand, feature the incredibly horrible singer that Bob Dylan is, plus the stupid cunt of Tom Petty... a idiot-ized Jeff Lynne, poor Roy and George (whose participation on this lame project I don't know how the hell took place). Plus primitive music, with the most shitty arrangements (if there are any) you could ever imagine.

Didn't the Wilburys start off as something that was going to be on a George Harrison single?

Ah well, at least I'm glad that you added this post: it is decisive evidence that you are at least as much a musical moron as Jingles (no offence Jingles, you're a great guy, but your musical knowledge, understanding and taste are so poor they are off the scale).

Last time I saw a German 12 inch it was blasting some Russians away?

Whoops? Or how about... 'Last time I saw a German 12 inch it was behind some curtains at the video store' ?

I saw a parrot once. It wasn't a pretty sight, though; in fact, there were six of them, and they were shooting 20-pound cannisters at the Confederate lines.

Shangri La by the ELO)... could I have as good taste as you?

Or maybe I should listen to Bob Dylan?

Your taste is beyond all hope and you should do best to give it a decent burial.

But it'd help if you started assessing songs and artists by their quality, and not by whether they were recorded in "five minutes" (that was, by the way, something you might have heard of called a 'figure of speech'. The song was written during a morning recording session, and probably got some two hours of work) or hours of tedious stressing about whether or not to include yet another track of harpsichord.

You are clearly not capable of seeing the qualities in songs that do not fit your rather narrow-minded definition of "good". Judging by your previous posts, all "good songs" (in your humble opinion) can be summed up in "Richly arranged I-IV-Vs".

You should listen to Bob Dylan.

Most of his songs have very boring chords and chord progressions by the way (I believe that most of his catalogue consists of I-IV-V's. Anyway a whole lot of major-relative minors (read C-Am C-Am C-Am C-Am for about 8 minutes with a brilliant lyric over it)).

So according to TQ you should like Dylan, although Dylan's songs mostly are not richly arranged. Except for "Wigwam" then.
