Moby - tight-bodied musical genius or bald punchable brat?

I think he's a bald-bodied musical brat.

Eh, neither.

Just gross and lame. Why even talk about Moby in 2020?!

Because some of his music is good?

I never understand people who cite dates as proof of irrelevance.

c r e e p

He's never been hot. He's always been a skinny runt.

I've got a good woman friend who was for years one of his booty calls in LA.

No, R5, that was The Fall.

[quote] I never understand people who cite dates as proof of irrelevance.

Isn't the point more to do with his age? He's 54 now, and not the 33 year-old from when "South Side" was a big hit.

R8, does that make South Side less a piece of music?

When he was good - he was very, very good. When he was bad - he was horrid.

But the fact that time has moved on does not invalidate the above facts.

He has a flaming case of herpes that he did not disclose to his many female sexual partners in NYC back in the '90s/'00s.

only sad people like moby - it's like still believing in kurt cobain. Can we get some music IN HERE!!!

PLAY was the only good thing he ever did. And it was mostly a matter of sampling African-American spirituals.

He'd never make it past the front door trying to pull that off in 2020.

(Still a great album, IMHO.)

This was his best song, ever.

His girlfriends all look so similar. He has a type.

I love his theme from the Bourne films Extreme Ways. Love it!!!

Remember when he went to a Denny’s and complained about the lack of vegan food?

That was peak Moby. What a cunt. Girl, go to Sqirl, not to poor people chain restaurants.

He made some really great music here and there for a good decade or more (early 90's well into the 2000's). Of course he has been past his prime and out of style for ages now. I'm not sure that he was ever a sex symbol to begin with and certainly not a celebrity whose day-to-day was followed for any reason (not that I follow any of them to begin with). What makes him "punchable" exactly? His music will absolutely be part of any historical record of that era and yes, he was very talented. That said, I have likely not played his music for at least a decade.

Remember when he lied that underage Natalie Portman was his girlfriend?

Is there a 3rd option?

Well then, I'll go with bald, fug punchbag

R3 Yes, in 2020. people should only listen and talk about music that came out in 2020.

TeaNY served bilge water.

Moby is a narcissistic compulsive liar whos always had that soft male vegan body Not sure where you got “hard” from

That was fun at R13, but it's barely a remix, much less some testament to Moby's musical genius. "Downtown" remains a great song.

Another vote for bald punchable fug.

Play is a good album though.

Blech!! All that money and he won't even get those nasty teeth fixed.

OMG, so punchable.

I understand he was a big deal for while, but I really didn't like his music.

Anorexic midget.

I love this song

So '90s

Wish I was skinny like him. I love the skinny look

As someone who gains weight easily, I envy "skinny," too. But skinny without any muscle mass or definition doesn't age well, at least in men. Those waif-y dudes wind up looking older than they actually are. Moby is Exhibit A.

Hit the gym, boys.

Moby's fine. The hate here is just racist, baldest and wimpish crap.

r20, Portman was 18-19 at the time. And you're lying shill for Portman.

Here's Moby shirtless with Portman (according to him, this was taken in her dorm room where they would go at it). All very innocent, I'm sure.

[quote]Moby is a narcissistic compulsive liar

AKA the Male Natalie Portman.

Remember when she signed a petition supporting Roman Polanski, then claimed that she knew nothing about Polanski did when confronted? And years later, started whining about how *she* was objectified as a pre-teen girl? What a hypocritical, two-faced bitch.

Portman is gorgeous but has no talent. Moby is hideous but a real talent.

Both are narcissistic frauds. But at least Moby hasn't moved into the role of Professional Victim; obviously, this is just another role played poorly by Porkman.

Moby is a bald-headed ectomorph.

Portman is a 5-foot short, bottom-heavy, melon-assed pear.

I wonder what their kids would have looked like? Sounds like an unholy genetic match, really. Maybe they would have given the hideous Will Smith/Jada Pinkett spawn a run for their money. Could they have been more awful looking than the Willis sisters?
