Raymond Walker5 said:And then there's 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road'... probably the best pop-rock album ever made, and its popularity pretty much proves it. I'm a huge fan—especially those three solo albums from the 90s that get way too little credit. I'll give it some thought, but no rush. The Elton John poll already happened, so it might be a while before we see another one.
Raymond Walker5 said:I mean, I could—but the guy already gave plenty of space to those early Elton John tracks, and all that stuff from Songs from the West Coast onwards—which is also top-tier—got totally overlooked. Honestly, I'm a fan of his whole run, so I don't really have issues even with his weaker eras.
If I were actually running a poll on his music, maybe I’d focus on the non-singles that actually deserve some love, but... we'll see. It needs to be handled right. Though, if we usually get to hear pretty much the entire Nirvana discography in one poll, I'm certain Elton has albums that could easily be featured in their entirety too.

If I were to run a poll on his music, maybe I’d focus on the deep cuts that deserve more respect, but... that’s a project for another day. You gotta be smart about how you frame it. Then again, if we pretty much covered the entire Nirvana discography in one go before, I’m sure there are Elton albums that could easily make the cut in a full poll.
fadedowl said:regarding the topic—since it’s just a list of songs without links or descriptions—it's probably not going to turn into anything more than a dry list. I've seen this happen countless times before...
I think that's why the mod shut it down—which, honestly, is how I'd have handled it too.
The OP actually has the power to make their own thread constructive and follow the rules—like they did in this topic
if you set some ground rules—like saying "no one-sentence posts" or "try to include a link or a quick description of the band to get a discussion going"—then the mod will totally respect that.

swiftmaker20 said:And there it is—the mods are clearly playing favorites.

hiddenhound3 said:I don't hold it against him... truthfully, I can't see why I would. He is perfectly entitled to watch pre-adolescent action flicks whether he is forty, fifty, or even a hundred years old, just as I am entitled to point out that it is quite a disaster. One would assume that a person evolves as they age, refining their style and their taste, though it is painfully obvious that Q’s sensibilities have remained entirely stagnant; he simply recreates the same hollow, adrenaline-fueled spectacles that moved him in his youth. It is all much of a muchness, really. Besides, I highly doubt he was even an adolescent back when Keanu Reeves was starring in Matrix and Speed. 😕

Not you.
For me, it’s always going to be "battle in the sky."
He really hit that sweet spot there—perfectly balancing subtle vibes with being totally explicit.
ruggedmarlin15 said:1.Nah. I don't want to end up looking like that's how I view art.
2.Honestly, I think the opinions of people who walk out after 15 or 20 minutes—just because the movie is clearly garbage—are just as valid as the people who loved it. But they actually have to back it up. In this case, the arguments are definitely on the side of the haters, since saying "it left a good impression" is kind of a weak take—you'd expect more juice after sitting through 140 minutes of film. The point of those who walked out can basically be summed up as "this left me with nothing." Those people won. They didn't waste two hours of their lives on nothing.😉
P.S. I wasn't even making a judgment on the movie itself. I just jumped in expecting some explanation regarding the scale of the film. Still waiting... 😉
Arthur Garcia59 said:I haven't heard of Ellis—never really came up for me—but as far as everything else goes, most critics pretty much agree with you... (well, except for that bit about the last 50 years)
And honestly, I don't see why it matters if the critics and the general public are actually on the same page.
Arthur Garcia59 said:Regarding "suspect arrested"—figuring out who Keyser Söze actually is matters just as much as knowing who killed Janet Leigh in "Psycho." That's pretty much it.
Arthur Garcia59 said:"Suspect arrested" is basically peak cinema, and "How the War Started on My Island" is just as solid, given its context and everything.
