OT: ♫ The Music Thread ♫

[silverfish]

Unbelievable. I come here to make friends and share good times and yet I am being bamboozled for my abstinence against remixed versions of songs.

Honestly, Bad Boy Records should pretend the original Flava in ya ear song doesn't even exist.

Oh, you’re gonna ruin the music thread too?

 

[YoSoyLalo]

@jas why is Jim Morrison disliked?

I always thought The Doors were solid but I'm not big enough a fan to really know anything about it.

He’s a pretentious clown and some say he’s a “poet”

Paul simon is a poet

jim morrison was a worthless drug addict

 

[YoSoyLalo]

same with eddie vedder my most hated musician

the pretense combined with the lack of talent

It's not like I have relTxGF60 on Craig Mack but I'm saying he sucks.

I don't know how this is even a debate. Flava in ya ear remix is so much better than Flava in ya ear.

I enjoy Ten, but again I'm not enough of a Pearl Jam listener to feel either way.

Don't get me wrong, I love Nirvana, but I always felt Cobain's lyrics were overrated by some.

grunge on the whole is a pretty awful genre

the mid-late 90s is so much more than just grunge

Morrison had a great voice and was an interesting lyricist.

I hate to be one of those 'I liked Pearl Jam better back..." people but to me halfway through Vitalogy they started to lose me.

I like select songs by U2 but I find Bono to be meh.

Was just talking to a friend about Gaslight Anthem. Loved their first album...then after not so much.

Death Grips are cool. Zack Hill is like a less corny version of Dave Grohl (I love Dave Grohl as a musician just he's been too much the last few years and Foo Fighters have some good songs but have become the real life version of School of Rock).

Still trying to analyze the new Janelle Monae album. I've seen her a bunch and really like her EP and first two albums.

I have no idea who these Cardi B and Camilla Caballo people are. I see billboards of them everywhere. It's a little out of my age group but are these two any talented? First shows up everywhere. Second I only know because she wore a dress and the entire free world is obsessed with her album cover.

OMG I just had the dopest K-Rock flashback when you mentioned mid-late 90's.

Sometimes it was a mess, but it was my mess, especially pre-mp3.

Dread it. Run from it. Destiny still arrives.

And I just had a seizure from remembeing that Kid rock exists

i know youre talking about the radio station but still

 

[Machinehead]

In metal we don't have this problem, because if you're a dick metalhead, you usually just kill someone and get it over with.

I'm looking at you Tim Lambesis, and Varg Vikernes, and that dude from Gorgoroth who may have burned a church one time or may not have, "my lawyer can't say."

Cobain was a great songwriter and arranger. Grunge is so much more than flannels and "simple metal." Listen to Superunknown by Soundgarden or Dirt by Alice In Chains. STP was a classic/hard rock band as far as I'm concerned. Not grunge.

Nirvana can be a gateway band for many great bands that never were as commercially successful via MTV: Meat Puppets, Husker Du, Killing Joke, Siouxse and The Banshees which did have some success, and of course The Pixies who had some commercial success.

I absolutely adore Soundgarden and Alice

whenever someone says something about nirvana, i feel inclined to bring up the meat puppets being superior

burning an empty church is p f***ing metal

 

[Machinehead]

May or may not have been empty, his lawyer can't say.

But those are few and far between. For the most part, metal musicians are the most passive because they scream for three hours every night as it is.

do they shit in their hand and eat it

metal doesnt compare to punk my friend

 

[Machinehead]

Oh, and it might not necessarily be my cup of tea because I usually go for the heavier stuff, (a few of his songs are favorites of mine) but if I picked one person to represent all of us and say "this is New York" it would be Paul Simon.

The man is simply beyond reproach.

Nah, we all hug after the show.

The punk fans will actually f***ing kill you.

i essentially worship and pray to paul simon

People can have their own takes on music... and anyone who doesn't respect that fact is truly an asshole.

Anyone who hasn't seen Pearl Jam live should probably do so before making an assessment about them.

They are EXTREMELY talented, gifted musicians and entertainers. They put on a different show EVERY single night no matter how many shows you see on a given tour.

Some don't like No Code or Yield as albums (happen to be my favs) and that's ok.

But as a live band I defy you to name anyone better and anyone who cares about their fans more than they do. Just my opinion.

(This isn't aimed at anyone in this thread... just a statement really)

He wrote "The Sound of Silence" which is a top 5 masterpiece ever produced by human hands and he's a Yankees season ticket holder.

Worship-worthy resume right there as it is.
