The Carpenters Did Not Suck.

(And she was also a great drummer to boot.)

Shall I present the evidence then?

Finally you gave up starting threads about shit bands.

pbradley · 03.04.2010, 12:28 AM

Who's saying that they did? Perhaps you should hangout less with teenagers?

jon boy · 03.04.2010, 12:36 AM

i liked them. when i first listened though i hated them intensely but that was because i was trapped in a car with a bunch of Christians on a rainy day in yorkshire. i have learnt to like them since then.

pbradley · 03.04.2010, 12:48 AM

Yes, the Carpenters are so much better after a thorough de-christianing.

Also, Richard Carpenter hates Sonic Youth's cover.

Is it already time for the next 'worship a mediocre pop band' thread. Doesn't time fly.

Keeping It Simple · 03.04.2010, 08:10 AM

Barry Manilow didn't suck either.

Neither did Burt Bacharach.

After the tribute album was released, Richard Carpenter was quoted in
Entertainment Weekly saying he liked SY's cover and compared it to a
White Album track. A decade later he goes on NPR and says he doesn't
like it.

It's not a crime to change your mind.

with your mind you have ability to form
and transmit thought energy far above the norm

That wasn't my implication. I just wonder if he never liked it at all but just
had positive words for the sake of promoting the album. Also not a crime.

I'm the same as Richard. One minute I'm liking an album / movie / videogame, then the next minute I'm hating it. That's human nature for you.

SeaBasket · 03.04.2010, 04:47 PM

As a middle clasz post punk frum neu york i amz fasciznated with dead anorexic popstars and the noshun that they died 4 "it" makes my own sellin out seem moar worfwhile, as if wut i am doing actually materrs.
