ok. so i am not one to go on and on about how one song or one band sucks so majorly. seems like most people here know what sucks, and it's a much better use of time to talk about songs and bands that kick ass rather than lousy songs and crappy bands.
but has anyone here ever realized how bad "rosanna" by toto is?
i mean, i love 80s shit; i was the one who posted about 80s soundtrack rock a few weeks ago. (thanks for all the suggestions. who knew the teen wolf soundtrack goes for 25 bucks on ebay?)
anyway the song is mortifying. it cripples you with it's utter disregard for any worthwhile song writing device/technique ever employed in the history of pop music.
here's the music video for the visual learners....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVBqdR_GIO0you'll notice that this video features HQ audio, so there is absolutely no discrepancy about the band being misrepresented or something like that.
so what is the setting of this video? is it some kind of urban warehouse district wasteland? is this their practice space? or did they just come across this place while roaming the city and decide "let's shred here tonight for this crimson garbed prostitute?"
i like to imagine gg allin and his band in the 1984 "Live Fast, Die Fast" promo video (
