To each his own. For some reason, possibly as a kid, there was a subtle charm to it, especially when Ringo added a cool percussion track to it. All a part of their evolution, and while it was no classic, it was a class act being that it did have something a little different which may not have been fully developed, but still showed that they were willing to move into other directions that you could never see their Pop contemporaries doing until after The Beatles made the first attempt. To me, even with some of the lesser songs, it's the little steps recorded in their Late 64-Early/Mid 65 era on the way to recording their triumphs that matter, and Tell Me What You See is a bit on the Folk side with an interesting twist to their "address the audience" manner of the early days, although of course Lennon's "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" showed them that the early days of expression had to end with more personal and stronger songwriting.

Not a classic, but still a class act in my book.
 
Interesting...I'm gonna plagiarise this ideea too :D

So then, five collaborations I'd dig like ditches...

David Bowie & Nick Gold
Elvis Costello & Chris Hillman
Scott Walker & David Sylvian
Noel Gallagher & the Amorphous Androgynous (over a whole album)
David Byrne & Toumani Diabat
 
Really? This confirms my assumption that moRAB here are magically allowed to listen to more than 24 hours worth of music in one day. But if you are at all interested definitely find time for Operation Ivy, they're worth it even you're a mere mortal.

I don't like The Wall as much as those albums (except I'd take it over Animals) but I still love it, Wright does have a reduced role but he still makes his contributions, especially to the better songs on the album.

The Wall has a pretty universial theme to it, alienation, misanthropy. I can certainly relate to that. Musically I have every note and lyric fully memorizied, I've listened to it so many times.

I enjoyed the movie too, visually it fits with the music perfectly.
 
Good idea...I've got a short playlist I've been adding to for a while (only 19 at the moment) of instrumental tracks by banRAB who normally sing...I'll try to extract 5 of the best ones.
 
5 songs I would willingly punch someone for getting it stuck in my head.
1. The Knack - My sharona
2. Kasabian - Ruby
3. Ting Tings - Thats not my name
4. The Zutons - You will you wont
5. Sidney Samson - Riverside (lets go remix)

Original riverside is alright. Lets go remix is unacceptable.
 
Of course it isn't. If you find Syd Barret unlistenable then Frank zappa, Captain Beefheart, Tom Waits, The Residents and many other 'difficult' banRAB have passed you by too.

I'm not a Rolling Stones or Bob Dylan fan but I wouldn't say that their albums are the worst I've ever heard, far from it. To dislike a band is one thing, to say a band (especially an album) is the worst you have ever heard when it still resonates today through so many musicians is something, as a music fan find hard to take.

I hate Coldplay with a passion but I still wouldn't say any of their albums are the worst I have ever heard by a long chalk.

You don't like Piper? Fair enough but if it's the worst album you have ever heard, you must listen to some right old crap.

He was smoking weed continuously on top of taking the barbiturates that he was (ironically) prescribed for depression.
Pink Moon is the only Drake album that I really like.
