Love the artist, hate the song

    Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney: "The Girl Is Mine." "Say, Say, Say," however, is absolute gold.

    You should get him into the Black Keys. I'm pretty sure they base every single they've made is based on "Miss You."

    When I was 4-6 years old, I couldn't get enough of Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love." I'm sure I wore out that "Riptide" cassette rewinding it over and over. And Dire Straits' "Money for Nothing" had me upon seein the video.

    Good times.

    Back to the previous thread topic.

    Holy hell, Norrin, Working Man might be one of Rush's best songs. Rocks like a mofo.

    Still have a lot of time for the boys' first album.

    One Rush song I can't stand is "The Trees".

    In some artists' hands, Let 'Em In is about how people just don't communicate anymore. To McCartney, it's just a song about someone literally knocking at the door, with nice Sesame Street pipes.

    Yeah, I didn't want to have to list two thirds of the songs on Load, Re-Load and St. Anger.

    But I love I'm Goin' Down and Tunnel of Love.

    If I recall correctly, you love the Tunnel of Love album. I don't. I prefer every studio album Springsteen recorded before it.
