jawnbcThis week’s eclectic purchases:
Ramones, Anthology: When they came out, everyone thought they weren’t at all original. When in fact they totally pinched the best bits from all sorts of artists--and wrote the best 3 chord songs maybe possible sort of like ever? And besides, they sang about “Rockaway Beach”--how frickin’ kewl izzat?
Bee Gees Number Ones: Saturday Night Fever aside--a couple of tracks I think were actually quite good--these guys wrote some great songs. A few years in the dustbin and they pulled “You Win Again” out of their arses. Still would call this guilty pleasures though.
And.....wait for it......
Britney Spears My Prerogative: I wouldn’t call Miss Britney an artiste or nothing, but there’s some good pop here--much of it Scandipop™ long before anyone outside the Eurovision/schlager circuit knew there was such a genre. And I must admit, even I got some wood the first time I saw the “Hit Me Baby One More Time.” If only a little.
