AntonKK
I have a theory why I don't like the Heep's AOR era - the loss of Ken Hensley. He did a couple of quite AOR-ish records with Blackfoot circa 1983 and they sounded like what would Heep could sound in the 80's with Ken on board. After all he was the musical foundation of Heep and without him they became and entirely different band. In comparison Rainbow's shift to AOR felt much much more organic because Blackmore was on board and they stayed true to the Rainbow sound only adding some AOR colorations if you know what I mean.
AntonKK As for Rainbow, I love all their eras and while I understand Dio era purists there's still tons and tons of unmistakably Rainbow magic on 79-83 records. Which is what missing from AOR era Heep - one or two tracks aside you just don't hear classic Heep spirit on these albums sadly.
AntonKK Let it be is BY FAR the best Beatles album ever.
Enjoy, fuckers!

The quality of his taste in music is roughly equivalent to young Russian men's taste in black-market designer jeans circa 1980.

He is the son of famous russian film director en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elem_Klimov
Dork is on the right.
Yes, his taste is the same of all soviet idiots who used to listen Deep Purple, Nazareth and other crap during 70's & 80's via black market.

AntonKK I'm a Kinks fanatic (or should I say Ray Davies fanatic) but yes, I like The Fall's version (of Victoria) better. For one reason - The Kinks version sounds way too close to Yellow River, which is the song I can spend the rest of my life without.

Well I'll be. 'Come and See' is pretty bad-ass.
Doesn't make Anton any less of a tool. (Not of the bourgeoisie, just a tool in general.)

He used to be PR agent for some totally forgotten russian pop dross in the 90s. Now he's resting on daddy's legacy

AntonKK Is The Day before you Came one of the greatest songs ever?
One of ABBA's last recordings and IMHO the most personal and haunting tune they ever did. Full of restrained drama and truly scandinavian melancholy. A real masterpiece with a truly moody video starring the unforgettable image of middle aged Agnetha at the railway station. Thank God not overplayed and overexposed like their other singles...
I like his super pretentious themes names - is this the best song ever? Is this greatest drummer that is on planet? I am the biggest idiot on forum?

I fucking hate Abba. Absolutely loathe them. Just the sound of them is enough to ruin my day - the intro to Dancing Queen will spoil my mood for hours. So it's no surprise I've never heard that song before. But it's awful.
I have to spend time in various eastern European countries as part of work, and there's always some sort of local-language ripoff that sounds like it was recorded in 1984 playing in the taxis, but I didn't realise the lineage til now.
This is the only one of those songs that I've bothered to look up, because it seemed pretty good at the time:

AntonKK said We all know that since the 80's hard rock ballads are endlessly ridiculed as being cheesy and pompous etc. But there were many beautiful songs written in this format, be it bluesy ballads, power ballads or semi acoustic ones. Quite a few to mention but I would like you guys to name ONE. Maybe my number 1 will change quite soon but I just finished playing Perfect Strangers and Wasted Sunsets which I loved since forever still gives me goosebumps. An insanely beautiful interplay between Blackmore's guitar and intentionally rugged Gillan's voice with so much emotion...well I mentioned goosebumps. On the 100oth listen. What a masterpiece.
Don't pretend that you have good taste Anton, it's exactly how you describes it - cheesy and pompous.
Hard rock ballads, seriously? Go fuck yourself, cunt.

Anton started a thread a couple of days ago entitled "How Come I'm Still Straight ?". He went on to say that he'd just finished a mammoth session listening to every Olivia Newton John album, Diana Ross's 1980 Chic album, and a few other "gay"classics which I can't remember. He then declared "How is it possible I'm still straight"? RalphB made a comment that he knew the answer but couldn't possibly say without the risk of being banned. Five minutes later the thread was gone.

BFS is miles better than Let It Be which is music for boring old farts. Actually i came to conclusion that out of first 4 albums BFS is the most fresh and not overplayed to death album
