Big Chris:
All these posts and no mention of Tenacious D....Surprise


Tenacious D are great and even better with video.


I used to like some of the songs from the albums released by `Not The Nine O`Clock News`, especially the first album. Most of the material on those albums are however very topical for the time when they were made.


The writer who makes me smile the most is Morrissey. I`m usually smiling just by reading some of the song titles on the back of the case. He is of course the Marmite of the music world so not sure if he`d be your taste.


`Big Balls` by AC/DC is quite amusing.

The Loney Island - Incredibad.


Comedian and HotRod star Andy Samberg's superb 'Fake MC' CD had me in stitches!!


With guests like Justin Timberlake, T Pain and 'Leon' star Natalie Portman, this spoof album is surprisingly well produced!!


Jack Black on 'Sax Man' had me in tears of laughter and sounds brilliant cranked up. Also check the video with JT, '* in a Box' very funny take on early 90's RnB. A great buy, just don't listen with the kidsWink

But it's definitely laugh rather than smile...

That'll be laugh as in choke/vomit at the appalling nature of it.Lou Reed went down the same road not so long ago.Vocals to die for.


So the audience did.

I haven`t heard this but the reports I`ve heard sound quite disturbing. To think earlier this year he built up all that credibility by becoming the oldest artist to have a number one album of new material. Hmmnn...


Do you think it will sound any better come December when you`re more in the mood for this sort of thing?

I don't think there's enough egg-nog in the world to make this sound anything better than laughable...

If you recall, my comments were about the band, not the front-man...

Re: Music that makes you laugh or smile

a few years back, I found a website quoting the all time great rock cd's/lp's ... I had a lot of them and read a good writeup about Captain Beefheart's Trout mask replica which I had never heard... and had never heard any music from Captain Beefheart


so decided to buy , could not find it in cambridge ... convinced the wife that it was a really really good cd and had her take off half a day's work so as to go to the music store and specially order it for me


Made her phone the cd store daily to find out if it had arrived ... during this time, she was really looking forward to hear this ... eventually arrived after 2 weeks... we sat down, stuck it in the hi-fi ... the horror on her face still makes me smile!


have listened a few times (still have it) ... smile everytime and somehow, I just dont fully understand this type of music .... and would say it's the worst cd I have ever bought (others may beg to differ)

Re: Music that makes you laugh or smile

I really like Dan Le Sac Vs Scrubious Pip.  Some of their stuff is very clever and certainly makes me smile.
