What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

i don't own Kid Rock's earlier albums, the ones where he tries to rap on(I guess i'll get them eventually though),
I only own four of his latter albums, the ones with the southern rock/redneck rock-country.
I think he has a genuine 'rock and roll' voice but he does go off on rants about certain subjects at times like Neil Young.
IMO, music history will see Kid Rock as a legend in years to come...
he does however, at times, have a foul mouth like the rappers, and it turns me off those songs, but thankfully theres usually only one track like that
per album, so I can live with it, if it was every song I wouldn't give him the time of day.

as for The Smiths....
I only own a compilation on cd but I own three of their four studio albums on vinyl(I don't own this last one!) plus an early compilation of "b-sides" and alternate versions.
I only own one Morrissey studio album on vinyl and a compilation on cd...

when The Smiths first emerged in the UK with "this charming man", they were already being hailed as taking the place of The Jam as the
biggest band in the UK(the Jam had disbanded in 82, they emerged in 83)....
they were never as big as The Jam but they held their own against the other big acts from the UK of that time.

I feel they could have been bigger in the UK had Morrissey been more media friendly and wasn't such a dour, solemn miserable sod when he
was interviewed, I think that kept a lot of people from liking them(like Oasis and Style Council), but they still had their loyal fans.

enough of my thoughts and opinions for one day/night, back to the music....
