Not because of his music, although it sucked (but was no worse than any other R&B artist’s of that era), but it should be pronounced like Dan Jello only dactylic, but it’s like that retard looked at the D and couldn’t figure out that it wasn’t a literal letter D, like an R&B Ron Burgundy.
Anyway, I was neither listening to classic-rock radio nor buying modern-rock CDs in 2002. I had my first part-time job and read George’s site and bought a CD a week from the used record store with my earnings – my selection was limited to theirs at any given time, meaning I have holes in my knowledge (I still haven’t heard Help!, A Hard Day’s Night, or Beatles For Sale because I never bought them) and have found a few gems in there (like Vintage Violence and Jah Wobble’s Without Judgement). Yeah, I was listening mostly to older stuff until my senior year. My money went toward weed and I pirated my music, and Soulseek was out, so my horizons were limited only to my Internet speed.
I agree about the production but it wouldn’t be Exile on fucking Main Street if it didn’t sound sloppy and half-finished. The sound is half the appeal of the album to me, and it’s my favorite post-December’s Children Stones release. BTW there were more Rolling Stones CDs at the store and I like them better so I did a much better job finishing their discography.
