I don't see what the big deal is about Faith No More.
Or The Doors.
Or, frankly, The Rolling Stones (minus a couple of songs).
Same here, on all three of those. Although I thought The Real Thing had some really good songs, and I still pull that one off the shelf every now and then and enjoy it at ludicrous volume.
Stadler also as a few I agree with:
- Not overly impressed with what I've heard from Steven Wilson (not including his Crimson remixes)
Same here. I just don't like anything I have heard from him (I have not heard the Crimson remixes)
- I prefer Phil over Peter as a singer
Hmm...yeah, I tend to agree, and it isn't even close. But I guess I never thought I would see that opinion on a prog-related message board, so I am a bit surprised.
- Tom Petty is good, and writes catchy tunes, but not sure why he is considered such a legend
Yeah, absolutely. And so well-respected by other musicians, too. I don't really get it. I mean, like you said, he has some really good songs. I don't think I have ever heard anything from him that I disliked. But I don't really understand why his status is what it is.
- Images and Words is one of my ten favorite albums of all time
I had to think about this one. While I don't really have an "official" top ten, while trying to just kind of rattling off my ten or so all-time favorites, Images did not make the cut. 4 other DT albums did. But not Images. Maybe if I tried to do a top 20, but it might fall just outside that as well.
