I've been thinking about doing the Decade In Review post meme. I probably will, but I need to sit down and write. Tonight and tomorrow night probably won't be those days, but Friday could be good.
For now I'd like to create a little meme of my own, and I shall include my own sample.
Is there a band you fell in love with but can't figure out why anymore? Perhaps that band was amazing live but could never put that energy onto a recording. Perhaps you found out about the band before they got big and changed. Perhaps you got into the band at its height and its subsequent releases could never come back to that feeling. Perhaps the music isn't bad, but you know too much about the musicians' lives and can't look at the songs without thinking about the context of the text. Did the facts weigh more than the emotions?
I want to give several examples, but I'll start with one: Midnight Oil. They cover more than one of the above. ( No end to the hostilities... )
