Freewilly; me and you disagree on most things, especially most things current Quo, that's just the way it is, and I'm not going to try and change your opinion of any piece of music. Why would I, you're entitled to it.
By 'your forum', I assume you're talking about Cups and Cafes; and you'd be right, there are also people on the other board that tell people they're wrong, it happens everywhere, not just on this board; but it does happen here as well.
I know I keep repeating myself, and I know you get fed up of it.....but when we're discussing music (as oppose to humanitarian issues), whether or not somebody likes a piece of music is always down to their opinion. If you're discussing the technicalities of music (and I know you're more of a musician than I am, although I dabble a bit), that's a bit different. But when it comes to the enjoyment of music, for most people it's not related to the technical side.
I'm not going to tell you that A2 is better than everything Quo have done because it is a long way from being my favourite album (in fact I probably wouldn't even rate any covers albums or acoustic albums against any original rock albums, they're a different animal altogether)....but I do like it. Now a thousand people can tell me I'm wrong, I'm lying, I'm delusional etc, but that won't stop me liking it and listening to it when the mood takes me.
If @rockinronnie was serious in his opening post about it possibly being his favourite Quo album ever, then the same applies. That's a million miles from your opinion of it, but you'd be wrong to tell him his opinion is wrong and he's delusional, and he'd be wrong to tell you that your opinion is wrong and you should like it.
I know you love your music, I know you love early Quo (as most of us do), and I guess you probably understand the technical side of music more than most of us; but I wish you would learn to understand that this doesn't overide someone else's opinions or love of a piece of music that you don't like. You can concede that other people like music that you don't without it invalidating your opinion. There can be 2 opposing views of a piece of music, without either of them being wrong. You're not wrong....but neither is Rockinronnie (unless he's taking the p1ss)!
2. Yep. I am referring to cups n cakes. That place showed me it's true colours Call me bitter or angry but, I won't forget or forgive the fact that I lay in a hospital bed, after nearly been killed, as I proceeded to be banned from that place and then have a thread about me turn into insults, personal digs and a "subtle" essay written by Inna, in which she tore me to shreds. Nowt to do with you, as you said nothing about me but, I ain't forgetting it in a hurry.
3. Don't always disagree. I love albums like Army, AC, RTYD, UTI, HT, ISOTFC, QPQ from post 86 and I grew up with them. I loved them once. I just can't understand why anyone would accept them as Status Quo, when they can't even compare to the real Quo. It's not even debatable. I'm 28 and it still somewhat bothers me that I had 24 years of that time, without seeing the real thing, despite how good I thought CQ were up until then.
4. I agree, the technical side of music is not something that should decide one's enjoyment of a song, 99.9% of the time. However, in this instance it is...I remember my first listen to Dear John on AQ2 and, while I genuinely enjoyed the first few bars, I was dismayed when it went out of time at the "anyway it's" line.....They are professional musicians. What in God's name were they thinking? It's appalling from them. You're tapping your foot to it and then, all of a sudden, you don't know what way to tap. It's not even a "cool" or "psychedelic" way of doing it, it's just awful and disrupts the song completely. Also, Rossi is a clown for having those women on the record. They are truly awful and the lines they sing are written by someone, who clearly has no imagination.
