i wouldn't imagine so, no.

The Bonnie Prince Billy stuff is overrated. The Palace stuff is definitely not.

bullshit.'i see a darkness' is the best thing he's done.i can't believe some of the things i'm hearing here.
why not mozart while we're trouncing people?

 

[Donkey OJ]

the beatles.

i can see how from a drummers perspective you may be underwhelmed. but other than that you're all wrong.

 

[broken arm]

star wars

hey hey hey...ringo was a great drummer.

the chemical brothers ripped off the beats on tomorrow never knows big time..he was way ahead of his time.

to quote the internet...there were less than a dozen occasions in the Beatles' eight-year recording career where session 'breakdowns' were caused by Starr making a mistake, while the vast majority of takes were stopped due to mistakes by the other three members.

he was a consistent, if not flamboyent, drummer. he was/is the denis irwin of the drumming world

I don't like the Beatles. I generally tend to enjoy cover versions of their songs immensely though. Maybe this is because they are good song writers or because I like having a different slant on something which I've been over-exposed to. Probably a combination of the two... Marvin Gaye's version of Yesterday is beautiful. Al Green's version of I Want To Hold Your Hand is magical. Ike and Tina doing Come Together is hotshit.

Warm and a bit salty

"I see a darkness" is not the best thing Will Oldham has done, no sir. I prefer Master and Everyone, Viva Last Blues and Days in the Wake

I think (think!) that McCartney played the drums on that...if he didn't, he certainly devised the rhythm. Ditto Ticket to Ride. However the drummin on Strawberry Fields Forever & Rain is certainly marvellous

Actually I *do* think Mozart's "Big Three" status is a stretch...he's not *that* good

two words. white. album. such crazy genius-whizzzardry delivered in an innocent white cover. i hear ya on the overexposure thing tho. but all it takes for me is a set of headphones to plug me back in to the magic. actually 3 words. white. alum. headphones.
