Re: Sinister: everyone thought it was a shame
Hello List, This absolutely not constructive possible debate over the worst, or shall we say least favorite, song is right up my alley. This is my first time posting, I'm Phil, and I'm a Belle and Sebastian fan ("Come on everyone, let's give him a round of applause. You all remember how hard it was to admit it at first") But anyway, the reason this is right up my allley is because it's a debate that'll endlessly chase it self round in circles and prove itself pointless in the end. So basically, what I'm trying to say, is I'll never give up waging the unnecessary war. Maybe it's the red-blooded American in me, who's spent far too much time in the hopelessly mild-mannered Canada, rearing its ugly head. Well if I were to have to argue for a B&S being particularly offensive, the aforementioned "Chickfactor" certainly comes to mind. As far as I'm concerned if I want annoying schmaltz I'll go borrow my friend's Andrea Bocelli CD. "Fox in the Snow" has been known to bring me closer to convulsions than the profound state of joy brought on from other tunes. I'm sure I could go on, but I really shouldn't... But who was it who was complaining about "Rollercoaster Ride???" I find it an absolute masterpiece to say the least. I noticed from the Jeepster site's poll it doesn't seem to be high on many people's lists, and am curious to know why? It's a lovely tune with some of the best harmonising the mighty Isobel has offerred, and the lyrics are perfect in that what's-he-going-on-about sort of way. It had the the tough task of trying to top "Judy and the Dream of Horses" for best possible song to end an album, but I think it almost does. Almost, oh "Judy" is such a lovely song......let's not digress now....
