Anyone wanting to know what most singers sound like without a highly skilled sound engineer and Auto-Tune software should head on down to this event.Quote:

He's probably been the most important man in music for the last few years.
Also Joey's song isn't that bad!
One of my mates was a big Rap fan in the 70's when it all again - he said back in 1976 that he thought "Pastime Paradise" from Stevie Wonders "Song's in the Key of Life" would be the future of music.Quote:

However, I don't like Snoop, Dre, IceCube, Eminem, and so on. Their music is purely designed to make money.
You said the same thing about Macklemore.Quote:

I listen to loads of stuff these days provided its actually good. (Ive listened to humble almost a dozen times since it came number 1 in the top 100 and for the life of me still cant figure out why.)Quote:

Also explain what you mean by most important man is music. Do you mean in reviving his genre of music?, Inspiring loads of other musical artists? or something else?
The Foo Fighters would be totally irrelevant today if they weren't such an established band. They haven't put out a good album in years (I actually really liked Wasting Light - that came out in 2011). Try again.Quote:

No one else in music has had the same aura and cross over success as he has had. He's an icon of this generation, and it's for the right reasons; his music is provocative, political, technically fantastic, he tells important stories, and he can write a banging pop tune.
Their lastest album was top notch and well just have to agree to disagree. Id love to be into music like this but nothing clicks or engages me when I hear itQuote:

My only concern is how quick we are to labelling someone the 'best ever' (the boffins words, not yours Parksey) then move on as soon as the shiny new thing comes along.
Its actually a good parallel to the Foo Fighters. For some reason people keep coming back to them whereas in Hip Hop it seems legacy doesnt last as long.
(Foo Fighters had 2 studio albums out before Diddy released his first one - geez).
Personally every time THE NEW Foo Fighters song comes on I'm like "oh thats a pretty good Foo Fighters song" but by the 3rd listen i hate it and never want to hear it again.
Im no Kendrick aficionado either but i loved King Kunta but think Humble is a nothing song.
Great video though. really great.

however - i can see why people are on him. the competition is trash. look at the dudes he's up against ffs

legit question for hip hop fans.
Is Eminem good?
yeah but your top 10 probably includes each individual member of Wu Tang and Tribe Called Quest.Quote:

Overall not for me but I can see it being important for others.
you know i've never actually been a huge tribe fan. my tastes lean more to the highly ignorantQuote:

The genius of Ray Parker Jr - Hard to imagine any 18 year old writing something this awesome now days. Only Nile Rodgers could challenge Ray when it comes to Funk guitar grooves.

Just discovered these guys, Soften The Glare, while randomly clicking on clips at lunch..
Recognised the bassist (Ryan Martinie, ex Mudvayne) and am happy to say that the bloke can still shred..
Ridiculous bass..

Huge sound for a three Piece - and some very nice playing as well. I could definitely get into this.
Watched this doco on Fox Arts last week. This portion is about "I'm Not In Love".

Now as a boring old fart I can state one thing and that is you cannot under estimate the sheer inventiveness of some musos from the 60's and 70's. What happened here could not happen now in the days of digital recording - all that stuff about tape loops, recording in stairwells and toilets for reverb, recording thunderstorms, Mellotrons and Chamberlins fascinates me and keeps that music fresh. Like Strawberry Fields and so many others this song would not be made now - it is the recording effect that make these tracks.
I do recall sitting in a studio with an 8 track tape, a razor blade and splice tape. Hard work but very rewarding. Doing that at on a larger scale to create a classic astounds me.
Love 10cc - Godley, Creme, Stewart, and Gouldman in one band was pretty special. Gouldman was writing massive hits as a teenager like this one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86GtSP6XBeU
Watching that documentary you realised the impact they had for three decades, in songwriting, recording nous, playing and video making. Gouldman the great songwriter, Godley and Creme the phenomenal art school pop video directors, and Stewart one the most under rated Les Paul players.
One of the great tragedies of modern music was G&C leaving to work on the "Gizmo" device and a f@#$ing triple album! They should have been massive.
Godley and Cremes Music Video for Duran Duran's Girls on Film - best music video ever:

Grim, you end up getting tickets for Monday - Mastodon/Gojira?
(Or Dunster, I know you are a metal master these days :thumbsup: )
Nope

This came out a week ago, new song "Rats" by Ghost..
The first time I heard it, I wasn't sure what to make of it, but WOW has it grown on me..
Got a hectic Alice Cooper/Blue Oyster Cult sound combined with their usual theatrical horror movie vibe.. (How's the Thriller-esque dancing, haha..)
That outro riff though.. :fap:
Hilarious stuff, not to be taken seriously..

Alice Cooper, Mercyful Fate, and Ghost probably all copied Arthur Browne.
