Andy edwards on 10 artists that ruined music

[Dana5140]

I am not sure I agree with all of Andy's comments, but this is actually very incisive and comprehensive and Andy does a very good job defending his choices. Worth a full watch, no kidding.

Personally, after watching a couple of AE's videos I decided I'd had enough. I find him annoying. YMMV.

I like Andy Edward's channel quite a bit. If you really want to be annoyed, try Darren Lock's channel. Here's a little taster

If the video were at least 35 minutes shorter, I might be able to get through it. Some guy talking on and on, in front of a camera, in a fairly monotone voice yet, gets old pretty fast. Just because I`m at work and things are a little bit slow, I decided to see how long he could chat, before he actually mentioned band number 2 out of 10. 11 and a half LOOOONNNGGGG minutes into a 50 minute long video. Good grief.

Watching at 1.5x speed helps. Not enough (I didn't make it through the whole thing), but it helps.

I made it almost 7 minutes.... The most used word of the first seven minutes was "imploded"

I didnt like him much at first but once I saw he's a big Cardiacs fan I had to give him another shot... he's ok. I don't agree with him a lot but I stopped grumbling about him as much as I used to.

I have zero interest in watching Youtube videos of peoples' opinions about music.

I'll tolerate them in text form, preferably kept to 2-3 paragraphs at a time .

I don't know who Andy Edwards is but I brought up the video on mute while I was listening to something else and I fast-forwarded just to see the photos.

Ten artists I've never paid much attention to. I kinda liked that Monkee song What Am I Doing Hanging Round.

#1 is that former actor who cut funding for music education.

[zeprogmeister]

I think he's trying to be a Rick Beato type personality. I've watched a few of his vidoes, but most are way too long.

I've seen a bunch of Lock's "prog reviews". All I gotta say is: that guy is frickin annoying! I can't stand his rambling. His videos used to be way more interesting circa 2013-2014. But at some point he gradually started getting more and more stale. Plus, Lock has a tendency to be extremely biased against non-British prog rock or contemporary made retro prog for apparently no reason other than some ego driven purism.

[Dana5140]

Y'know, guys, the point of me posting this was to actually generate a discussion around what he said, not who he is or what he does... just saying.

[Steve983]

I am mostly a fan of Andy and have watched a lot of his videos, with this one he makes a lot of really good points.

[arturs]

^^^ Yeah, I mostly agree with what he was saying in this. I found insightful his main thesis that very good bands may be the ones that cause more trouble than benefits for the development of music. But he really does take way too long to make these points. With a little rehearsal and editing he could get this all down to 15 minutes without too much trouble. And I bet his view count would go up tenfold.

[Jacob]

I get where he's going with this by giving The Monkees as an example and proceeds to move on with Madonna, Nirvana and others ...however it's difficult to pin the blame on any particular band when there's always been music that was contrived or forced to sound a certain way for profit gain.

It's unlikely that he would understand somebody else's opinion regarding this subject matter. To an extent it should be acknowledged that music is subjective.

A huge letdown for me in Rock Music was playing Led Zeppelin. Maybe he wouldn't get that because they are considered to be iconic. As you say...

same here. he tends to blather on and on before he gets to the point. he also has some pretty odd things to say that go against popular opinion. like GFTO is better and more proggy than CttE. Awaken and maybe Turn of the Century are imo the only real proggy tunes on there. the rest is just basic rock.

he played with IQ for about 4 yrs and played on the Frequency album.

[Mascodagama]

TL;DW

The man has a notable tendency to blather on. When he’s talking about music he likes the enthusiasm and insight can carry you through, but I’ve no interest in listening to interminable moaning on about why everything is awful.

By contrast, Darren Lock is just an idiot.

He’s a leecher. YT is crawling with them. They react or respond to original content that is popular (often controversial or political) in hopes that they can leech off of the popular creator’s audience or otherwise well established brand.

The worst thing about it is that it works. If the person doing it is persistent enough, they can make decent amount of ad revenue.

They may be longer in text form.
I'm not really interested in hearing someone rant for a long time, about how some artists seem to have ruined something. In the end one person's trash is another person's treasure. Who his he to judge?

Well people have different opinions, I would rate GFTO higher than CTTE too, Parallels and GFTO are hardly 'basic rock' to my ears - more like full on soaring prog
