Do we have a 90s major label tribute album shitness thread? Needs to be one for sure.

Least appealing song on "Encomium: A Tribute to Led Zeppelin"

lol was just typing this out: true, but Stone Free had nowhere near the drastically askew popularity/actualy listenability ratio as the Led Zep tribute album that was popular at around the same time.

"Going to California" (Page/Plant), by Never The Bride
If 'For Love, Not Lisa' were a question, 'Never the Bride' might be the answer.

paul giamatti is just going down the only road he's ever known, man, why would you want to stand in his way

Not gonna lie, I would like to hear Giamatti sing Here I Go Again. The other folks can take a hike, though.

For some reason I thought I had already posted about how at CTY one summer I learned Big Empty off the OST and played/sang it acoustic at the talent show. Later that day the girl I had a crush on came over to me and said "all the girls on my floor think you have a sexy voice," -- to which the only response I could muster was a squeaky "cool!" She made a grossed-out face and walked away.

Has anybody else noted that the song that Rock of Ages is named after is not in fact present on the soundtrack?

Seriously, I only just found out about this abomination, and I'm so angry that I want everyone involved to be buried up to the neck in sand and then covered in marmalade and ants.

i get being dismissive or lol check out this bullshit about the Rock of Ages movie but i don't really understand actual anger, unless you're especially reverent of the stage musical, or the original '80s rock songs, or think the actors would otherwise being engaged in something more dignified. as it is, i'm like whatever guys, go ahead and make a trainwreck, it's not like you were going to make anything of substance otherwise!

i mean sure Baldwin has better things to do but it's not like he took a break from 30 Rock to make this movie or anything

It's not like I think Brand/Cruise/Baldwin/et al could be doing something better with their time - probably anything they'd be involved in would be an undignified mess. And I don't care about the stage musical or the original 80's songs. It's just that I'm insulted that somebody thought that this would be entertainment. I literally just found out, so maybe the anger will wear off. Or maybe not, because of the trio of bellends involved.
