I'm curious f anyone here has seen the movie "Tommy" this is a song from the movie. Sung by Elton John.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

It's from the album Tommy, and the song was sung by Roger Daltry

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

There was a movie adaptation. Since Daltry was playing Tommy he couldn't exactly sing so they did have people like Elton John, Ann Margaret and William Shatner sing songs. Elton John sang Pinball Wizard.

So both of you are correct.

I don't remember Elton John singing it, but it has been quite a while since I watched the movie. 🤔

Elton played the top dog Pinball player that Tommy dethroned. He was wearing boots that were like 3ft tall.

Mashmakhan: What if that tree in my childhood neighbourhood was sentient?

[–] tronx4002@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Any guesses what Zep song they are referring to?

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

Whole Lotta Love perhaps?

Supertramp: what if being kinda sad sounded fucking incredible?

Did the person who wrote this even listen to any of these bands because those descriptions read like somebody who just browsed the Wikipedia descriptions of them and their albums.

Absolutely incredibly unpopular opinion, but all of these bands are terrible. I guarantee I’m getting downvoted for this comment.

[–] floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

It's ok to not like a band, but if you're going to call classic ones "terrible" you should at least bring some argument

[–] tyler@programming.dev 1 points 3 hours ago

Sure I can bring an argument. Most of those old bands are only popular because there was hardly any music at all to even listen to. same with the Beatles (which I do like some of). When you’ve got a load of bull crap, the dried rabbit pellets sitting next to it looks pretty good by comparison. Even mediocre modern bands are much better than the “classic bands” from the 60s and 70s. You can see that with the massive increase in good music from the 80s, cause good bands actually started showing up.

No need to apologize. You are entitled to your tastes. I can't stand Adele and her "singing" is like cats scratching a chalkboard.
