I swear, I can’t deal with even reading NettleBed’s 500 albums thread anymore with Alf calling the Twin Peaks soundtrack Kenny G and other edgelord shit. He definitely succeeds at getting under my skin and making me feel like shit for liking certain albums. Any metal album that shows up consists of a review stating that it’s nothing more than twiddly twiddly Spinal Tap nonsense.

This is the whitest white man shit ever. And of course some of them love it.

Even members of Fanny don't like Fanny.

Nickey Barclay, the keyboard player:

"I hated just about every hour of being in Fanny...I joined very reluctantly and only after a few false starts, I wanted to quit before the ink on my contract was dry, and when I finally did make my escape I celebrated big time.

...Our musical backgrounds were galaxies apart. When I went to meet and audition for Alice, Jean and June for the first time, and we were about to have a first experimental jam, I said, “I don’t know if we’re into the same kinds of music, so why don’t we just try a simple 1-4-5 blues, you know, a 12-bar jam,” and I was answered by three totally blank looks. I remember thinking “Oh shit, I’m in trouble here already, they don’t even know what a blues progression is!” and being freaked by that. So I asked what music they were into, and was equally appalled by the answer. They liked the Beatles – I had no problem with that – but they seemed to know most of the vanilla Motown girl-group songs, and that did *not* go down well with me. And so it went, pretty much ever after. June and I were butting heads constantly from the off because she was into softer music. I felt then – and still feel – that that was a tragedy, because she could play the most delicious dirty rock lead and was a decent rock rhythm player too, but getting her to do these styles was like pulling teeth."

“Ponderous. Fucking ponderous”.

For some reason, Fanny often gets cited as the first all female rock band, which isn't even close to being true.
