Opinions to Live By For March

Angels - Only heard snippets on Amazon because
somehow I didn’t get it – or lost it- but this is great stuff. 4

Ringo Starr - Not offended by the album as a musical endeavor. Some of it is almost listenable. What offends me I guess is its very existence.
For some reason having the least
important member of what could be argued is the most important group of all
time release an album AT ALL in 2012 seems to be an insult to the memory of
Lennon and Harrison.
If not for a bad decision by Pete Best, this bozo is a bartender in some
dump in Liverpool….at BEST. He should
retreat into his home, count his blessings and his money and not pretend he was
really important enough to release records. 1

Queens of the Stone Age - I happen to like this band quite a bit and
this is a good representation of why. 4

Frampton – Hey, it’s the “quality” version of Frampton Comes Alive. Frampton wasn’t great, but he gets a bad rapbecause he sold so many records. He
doomed the double live album forever forever and is genuinely regarded in manycircles as a talentless hack. Let’s befair, though. He only became atalentless hack after he got successful.
His two Frampton’s Camel records were pretty good at the time – I should
know – I used to listen to them at a friend’s house. Yes, I was on the front edge as usual. And also bought Frampton and Something’s Happening when they came out. Both pretty good, thogh somewhhat lightweight, albums. Do You Feel is a great song that unfortunately died an overexposure death of massive proportions. The rest of the stuff is passable and it was kind of nice to hear it again, 3
