I see this often there because they're lazy slobs and can't be bothered to read a page or two before typing away. Some guy started a thread in January asking for DAC recommendations. A discussion happened with lots of suggestions. The thread was bumped and the OP posts which DAC he ended up going with and how happy he is with it. The idiots don't wonder why a 2 month old thread was bumped, they just start posting DAC recommendation DIRECTLY UNDER the OP saying he already bought one, the model it is and what he thinks about it.

They never read the OP because they're a bunch of self absorbed cunts who think their individual opinions are the only ones that matter. That and they're also a bunch of fucking idiots for whom reading for comprehension has never been their strong suit.

Someone just started a thread asking which album ushered you into your teenage years. Idiotic posts as usual and I stopped reading after someone said an album from when they were 9. The most simple premises can’t be followed.

Least Liked ( Original ) Beatles SongFor the most part the songs The Beatles covered are my least liked songs of theirs. Among them Act Naturally , Dizzy Miss Lizzie, Everbody's Trying To Be My Baby and Till There Was You. On the other hand some of the covers are among their best ( Twist and Shout, Money...). But! Of their original songs which ranks as your least favourite(s) ? 'You Like Me Too Much' is George's weakest effort and from Lennon/McCartney I'll have to go with the slightly dated 'Misery'. It's not a bad song but it's far fron being a great one. Kansas City / Hey Hey Hey Hey --- from Day One I disliked this... and nothing has changed over time. Chains --- soooo weak. There had to have been songs George sung in Hamburg and Liverpool that were a lot better than this. Dizzy Miss Lizzy --- awful on the studio recording is awful... however it sounded pretty good when they played it live. Her Majesty --- great way to screw up what would have been the greatest ending of the albums of the greatest band ever.

Musicians who rarely - if ever - abused alcohol or hard drugs?

Extra stupidity points for the “you don’t know of him”. She keeps saying that about artists that are known.

20 Best Instrumentals of all time is the thread title.
First post has a link to an article with a list of the 20 best instrumentals of all time, but what follows is a bunch of idiots simply posting YouTube links to random instrumentals.

That DooDee idiot has completely ignored the OP and has posted 21 Hendrix instrumentals so far.

I’m going to ask again, what the fuck is up with Crimson Witch? He constantly goes into treads and poats nonsense answers. He’s posting NEU! and Ennio Morricone songs in the shoegaze/dreampop thread. If he thinks he’s funny, he’s not.

Beatles covers that surpassed the originalIn the internet age it is so easy to compare the Beatles covers to the originals, in a way it wasn't in the 80s when I got into this. Back then a lot of the originals were out of print or otherwise not easy to find. I'm not limiting this to the "canonical" covers either, everything is fair game. I'll kick this off with a few: Please Mister Postman: Lennon nails this one. The music and vocals are much stronger than the Marvellete's original. To Know Her is to Love Her: Lennon kills this on the BBC set, just kills it. Way better than the Teddy Bears original. Words of Love: The harmony the Beatles brought to this is better than Holly's original cut. Twist and Shout: This one's a gimme. Beatles 100%. I'll add that I think the Beatles covers got weaker as time went on. The three Perkins covers are all pretty dreadful. I also never cared for "Slow Down." I also don't care for Paul's vamping Little Richard affectation on the R&B covers. "Bad Boy" is OK, I liked it more as a kid than I do now, it's basically a mediocre novelty song. Lastly, it's baffling that "Some Other Guy" and "Memphis TN" never made it into the canon. Both of those were big hits in Hamburg and at the Cavern. Those plus a couple other cover tracks would have made a great UK EP. The Steve Hillage version of It's All Too Much is up there as one of my favourite cover versions by anyone I doubt Beatle fan will agree that it is better, but this is a cool, gloomy, updated version of RAIN... I don't know if surpass is the right word, but David Lindley does a killer version of "Twist and Shout" Day Tripper: Cheap Trick > Beatles Girl: Joe Jackson > Beatles Twist & Shout: David Lindley > Beatles This is a cover of a Beatle's song that surpassed the original. Are we doing others covering the Beatles as well as Beatles covering others, or did a lot of posters misread the OP? No one reads the OP after the thread gets to the second page so if the heading is vague anything goes. Some people are getting confused and should read the initial post. This is about the songs that The Beatles covered (i.e: songs they did not write) and comparing them to the original artists versions and then listing the ones, that in your opinion, where the Beatles version was superior to the original artist version. This is NOT about artists that covered original Beatles penned songs eg: Joe Cocker's "With a Little Help From My Friends" etc (there is a lengthy thread on that topic elsewhere). Nobody's mentioned Cold Turkey. Why would they? It wasn't a Beatles cover or even a Beatles song which someone else covered. But it was originally intended as a Beatles song, one which John offered to the band in late 1969 but was rejected, probably because of the lyrical content. I mention it here because I've always thought it was a great rock song which could heave been a great Beatles track. As such, it's a shame no-one (as far as I know) has ever done a good cover of it. The live version from Live Peace in Toronto is a scorcher but lacks the production levels the song needs.

In the Albums Where Almost Every Song was a Hit thread someone posted a Cracker album. Sure. Daft sod has no idea what a 'hit' is, other than from a bong probably. He wants us to know that he alone has the forbidden knowledge of the hidden tracks on that Cracker CD (i.e. common knowledge, and very annoying.) Take the shitheads bowling, take them bowling.
