I've been listening to a Rod Stewart Best Of lately and you can pretty much draw a line between the music he made while living in the UK and the music he made after relocating to Los Angeles. I don't know if he ever recovered.
What other musicians shouldn't have moved home or changed country?
Does Iva Davies leaving Newtown for Palm Beach count?
Tim Rogers should never have moved to Melbourne.
Paul Kelly should have stayed in Adelaide.
leo sayer, the guys done SFA since relocating to sydders.
Daniel Johns should have moved to Iraq
crazy talk. then we wouldn't have What Rhymes With Cars and Girls
Rod Stewart - otherwise known as The Man Who Wasted The Greatest Talent in Rock.
Top thread. I'm thinking.
Arguably, Ryan Adams moving from NYC to Hollywood was responsible for the over-produced sheen on the dross that was Gold. The Suicide Handbook demos expose all the flaws on that album.
Nick Cave should never have left Berlin.
Grinderman would still have happened as he got older and got less ex-Stasi snatch.
John Lennon should never have moved to new york
pretty much anyone who moved from perth to the east coast.
HA!
Muscles should never have moved from Shep to South Melbourne.
But he should definitely move into the 'Muscles vs Modular vs Nevereverland' thread, rather than idling around in the 'Inpress' thread.
Thank you, I'm here all week - Jose, try the pork.
Fuck me, I laughed out loud.
i assumed this thread was about, like SPOD, his album ruined by moving.
i called this years and years ago but no-one would listen. cars and girls was most likely written in sydney, anyway.
Buddy Holly should never have left the ground.
''keith don't go to Toronto'' --- Nils
KISS should never have moved out of Queens, much less to LA.
Agreed with the YAI comment.
Radiohead shouldn't have recorded outside the UK, despite its standalone decency.
David Bowie -> New York.
