What a way to start a Sunday!

I'd say that I like a lot more than I dislike about the movie and rewatch it every year or two. It's more like frustration that some mistakes that felt avoidable are still there. Some of the hit you over the head with the message moments really didn't need to be so blunt.

there's a bunch that doesn't work for me ultimately in that movie, but his performance took my breath away

Philip Roth literally made it up!
December 6, 2025 at 9:50 PM
and let's not forget their cover of "If You Want Me to Stay"
December 6, 2025 at 8:47 PM
yeah, that ruled

At some point, we have to just stop pretending this isn't who the Party is. A fart in a leaky ziplock bag could inspire these dorks if you wrote "yass queen" on the outside of it

the sun literally came out where I am when this one started!

obviously all the Dylan covers are coming in the bottom half of the list (absolutely not true)
December 6, 2025 at 7:37 PM
nice!! I was hoping someone was making one (because I'm too lazy)

of all his travesties, this might be the most unforgivable (it isn't even close)

Seeing her open for Hall & Oates just before she passed is one of the live performances I treasure most

I just submitted Odetta's album Odetta Sings Dylan and called it a day
December 6, 2025 at 7:08 PM
oh man, I couldn't disagree more. I love it so much. It's a shriek from the core of the universe.
December 6, 2025 at 7:06 PM
I assume it's this low on the list because we're going to get SO many more of his covers, but man, I'm a snarky anarchist, and this one makes even me stand up and salute

They recorded the McGuire version first and then just remixed it to put Denny's voice in the lead!

I imagine this is the one I'll be most stubborn about until we figure out which version of "If I Was a Carpenter" we call the original
December 6, 2025 at 6:31 PM
man, he understood that song so much better than most people who sing along to it
December 6, 2025 at 6:01 PM
but the song at the top is a mistake! "California Dreamin" isn't originally by The Mamas and the Papas!
December 6, 2025 at 5:48 PM
At this point, my neighbors hear the Connies turned up to 11 so often, they're probably singing along
December 6, 2025 at 5:43 PM
Adam's the coolest. Everyone who spends 10 seconds with him immediately loves him.
December 6, 2025 at 5:42 PM
ok, but the original of California Dreamin' isn't by The Mamas and the Papas tho!
