I love this concept. I might have to put something like this together. To be fair, I am a Weezer fan, so half the albums are disappointments, a handful are classics, and the remaining sliver are the "just average". I still haven't been fully disappointed by The Strokes - if anything, I find First Impressions of Earth uneven and bloated.
i like First Impressions. That was first time I saw them live too. Having said that I totally understand where you’re coming from thinking it’s bloated etc. I can see that fer sure.
Hi Steve. This is a great way to purge a collection. I’m starting to eliminate all records in this category you touched on in this video. I want to get to a place where my collection is comprised of only the best of the best. I believe they call it all killer no filler. Great video!
@@Cookingwithsteveg Hey Chef! Nice to hear from ya as always. I think it’s easier for me to purge the albums I ended up not liking by artists i dont love so much. even though i dont like these albums i dont think i’m in that place yet where i could get rid of them. maybe one day. hope ya stayin’ cool dude! im heading to film in vegas this week and those temps aint lookin’ good.
Van Halen 3.... yep
Some of mine
Music From Another Dimension - Aerosmith
Gene Simmons 78 solo album - KISS
X - Def Leppard
Concrete & Gold - Foo Fighters
Shadowlife - Dokken
Sweetzerland Manifesto - Joe Perry
I've never seen that Billy Idol, and I guess it's a good thing ! I'll stay away from that particular Sahara Hot Nights. I listened to the good stuff on your suggestion 😊
yeh earlier sahara hotnights is better. im surprised how many people are unfamiliar with this billy idol album. i know it flopped but thought people were aware of it.
Love the topic of course. Great choices (you don't see those everyday) - Billy Idol, Simple Minds, Van Halen. I'm so with you on Endless Wire!!! And the drumming on Endless Wire is so lame for The Who. Nice to see you didn't include Primitive Cool and Dirty Work.
trivia time: i owned the 45 for harlem shuffle back in 1986. but i think i bought it more for the artwork than the song. probably never listened to the b-side. not that it would’ve made any difference in their career cause the book’s been written so to say but i wonder if the 2019 WHO album had come out instead of Endless Wire how people would’ve reacted to it. I can’t remember what your take on that one was. I like it. I mean it’s not amazing but it’s a good collection of tunes by a band whose glory days are well behind them.
@@STEVEHEROLD I thought the WHO album was good. Much better than Endless Wire. But at the end of the day they’re my two least listened to Who albums. I’ll go to Face Dancesand It’s Hard over them both honestly. Entwistle is really missed to me.
@@TheAlanRosenbergShow yeh ive talked ad nauseam about my connection to Face Dances. I did listen to WHO a lot when I got it in 2019. I enjoyed it but it’s not something i return to much at all.
@@STEVEHEROLD I love your connection to Face Dances. Timing is key. It hit you at the right time. I like it but certainly not a favorite Who album of mine. But I prefer it over the last two for sure.
I love Comedown Machine the songs 80's Comedown Machine is one of my favourite songs of all time and as well as Tap Out, Welcome To Japan and Slow Animals are just such amazing timeless classics. I personally think its better than Angles.
i knew someone would love that album. ive tried so many times it just never clicks. prob give it another try sometime this year. angles prob feels like them “playing it safe” but i do like a lot of the songs.
The only one of those that I have is the Who. I always hate it when an album doesn't meet expectations. It happens a lot. Show your love and support for the Alan Rosenberg show. He's been flagged for showing sexy album covers!!!! It's an outrage. Since when is sexy wrong??? I hear he may do his next video nude😂.
Without You is a good song because of Edward's solo at the end
it’s the best song on there. but that’s not saying much. the songs needed someone better suited at taking Ed’s creativity and shaping them into actual catchy rock songs. Mike Post & Gary Cherone were not up to the challenge.
Great topic Steve definitely agree with van halen 3 I've tried and tried to find some good songs on it but no very disappointing
thanks jack
I love COMEDOWN MACHINE and AIN'T LOVE GRAND. I like "Burning House of Love"!
i’m thinking of giving Comedown Machine another try this year sometime. it just never clicks.
I have never heard Cyberpunk (In fact, many of these I have never heard) and, while I love Simple Minds, I lost track of them after 1989.
youre really not missing anything on cyperpunk. i mean i guess you can give him credit for attempting something different but it just didnt pan out at all. i think a lotta people lost track of simple minds around 1989.
Yes, I like Billy Idol’s Shock To The System, but I never wanted to check out Cyperpunk.
I’ve never been a fan of The Strokes because of their guitar sound and their vocals.
interesting. i like those distorted vocals the strokes had on their initial
albums. they veered away from them a bit but i still think that dude’s got a good voice. smart move not checking out cyberpunk.
@@STEVEHEROLD yes, Billy Idol had a falling out with Steve Stevens in the late eighties that I wasn’t a huge fan of either, but Cyberpunk wasn’t going to work in the early nineties, it might have worked in the late nineties though. Maybe Billy was ahead of his time. 😂
The Strokes playing electric guitar like an acoustic guitar turned me off on them, I need more feedback on electric guitars.
@@excelsiormoviereviews not being a musician something like that wouldnt even register with me.
Hi Steve - Its always a disappointment when a favorite puts out something not just mediocre but awful ! In 2008 both The Cure & Oasis put out unforgivably bad records. In the 90's many acts tried ( & failed ) to stay relevant like Billy Idol , INXS , Human League , ABC & both Van Halen & Genesis resorting to new vocalists ! The time comes for many where they should live by touring & merchandise & not lose fans by putting out subpar material.
yeh i knew that Genesis attempt with a new singer would fail. it was very surprising too. i dont know/remember what led to that. it’s weird hearing bands trying to stay relevant. probably 99% of the time it reeks of desperation and never pans out.
Hi Steve. I was playing along even before your first choice ... I really liked the Strokes' 'Angles' too. I remember playing it loads when it came out. It's been very frustrating being a fan of the band. They never built up any momentum, taking long breaks between releases and sometimes releasing substandard material. Have you got any of Albert Hammond Jr.'s solo material? I saw him live in a small club and was very impressed. I was a little star-struck! ... My first X album was 'Ain't Love Grand' and I wondered what all the fuss was about. As you say, the problem was the producer ... I thought you might have shown the Clash's 'Cut The Crap'. I'd also include Public Image Ltd's 'The Flowers Of Romance'.
hey carl great to hear from ya. the only albert hammond jr album i have is yours to keep which i like a lot. not sure why ive never picked up any of his others. agree with all ya said about the strokes. they really have had an unusual career. i think they made some decisions because of all that hype around them in beginning that they were gonna “save rock n roll.” i really don’t think that sat well with the band. ya know i have never owned or listened to Cut the Crap. It is so infamously regarded as terrible i just took everyone’s word for it. oh also thats awesome ya got to see albert hammond hr in the small club. nothing like those shows. hope summer’s treatin’ ya well dude!
@@STEVEHEROLD All's good. I hope you're doing well. I'll catch up with you on another video soon.
I don’t even remember seeing that Who CD before. Sounds like some purging to me Steve.
its harder for me to purge when its band i love. but more importantly how did Endless Wire slip past you? i mean not in the sense you shouldve bought it but just knowing it exists?
Hi Steve! I've never even heard of that Billy Idol album, and guess from your review I should count myself lucky for not knowing it. I had pretty much checked out on Simple Minds after the album Street Fighting Years, so don't know that one you showed. That Van Halen album is absolutely awful. That Who album is another one I've never seen before! I like your review "There's just nothing on here" 😂 Change of producer led to that X album as you said. Ray Manzarek was the man.
it keeps surprising me people haven’t heard of the billy idol album. it seemed like it got a bit of hype until it was actually released. yeh you’ve lucked out skipping them all. sorry i’m gonna miss your bbq next month. still be on the road. dont wrap this till august. hope summer’s treatin’ ya good dude.
The Who is one of my all time favorite bands but 'Endless Wire' is by far the worst album I've heard by a great band. It never should have been released.
yeh its really bad. did you like WHO that came out in 2019?
Yes, much better. I saw them in 2019 on the Moving On tour. If you bought two tickets. you got that CD sent to you. It came six weeks after the show. They played Ball and Chain on that tour from the record.
