Disastro Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 To answer the question: Mostly classic rock and alternative bands. I am very faithful to my bands...I don't care if they are considered "old" today or not...I can only stand to listen recent alt rock bands...everything else is lacking.

memebag Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I see where you're going, but the operative phrase in my statement was "cooler than they actually are." The Beatles, Zepp -- hell, even Lynyrd Skynyrd -- were cool without trying. Their misspelled names were just part and parcel of who they were, not a precocious attempt at feigning coolness without any substance to back it up.It's hard to argue that when The Beatles picked their name they were any "cooler" than a band like 'N Sync. They were both heavily hyped boy bands with misspelled names. The biggest difference was that McCartney and Lennon wrote their own songs, but early work like "Love Me Do" was no more "artistic" or "substantial" than "Bye Bye Bye".

TheNiche Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I actually like live recordings, but just the thought is a little funny.Some bands do consistently terrific live performances, some performances have more depth or realness to the sound (for instance, contrast Simon & Garfunkel's 'Sound of Silence' live against the studio version), and some performances incorporate new material into a song (Jimi Hendrix does this on several live recordings) or even totally change the song (Tool's 'Third Eye' on Aenima vs. the live recording on Salival).So no, I don't think that it is at all weird to like listening to live material. ...having said that, you don't typically see very much live material that makes it to a CD that isn't at least justifiably decent. Many acts are OK in the studio but terrible on stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Many acts are OK in the studio but terrible on stage.Ain't that the truth. It surprizes me how little the listening public understands the role of a producer in writing and arangement. Much of what you hear on decent studio albums is because of a good producer. They can make a crappy band sound great , thus the reason many sound uninspiring on stage, especially today.Most of these bands today should thanks the gods of Pro Tools (NLE editing).

flipper Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 You're such a kidder...[fist nudges sheeats' chin]But one thing I wanted to share before this thread dies for another couple of years. I "went" to the John Mayer concert on Saturday. There's a nice sized park just west of the Pavilions and I just chilled and listened to the concert there. Lots of people did, actually. Some speakers towards the stage actually point somewhat out of the place and right into the park. The only thing missing was the visual. It was a good concert. You can also hear it bouncing off the walls at Market Street. Just a little something for the cheepies (although we did try to buy last minute tickets but it sold out You can listen to that concert for free again here: http://www.archive.org/download/johnmayer2....flac16_vbr.m3u flipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montrose1100 Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 Some new songs I really enjoy:Of Montreal - "Oslo in the Summertime"Kerli - "Walking on Air"Metro Station - "Shake it"anything by LCD SoundsystemKaty Perry - "Hot n' Cold"Britney Spears - "Get Naked"Estelle - "American Boy"N.E.R.D. - "My Drive Thru"Rihanna - "Disturbia"The Ting Tings - "Shut up and let me go"Most of which has been introduced by my roomate... I promised myself about 3 years ago I'd never fall for it... the bands that have Kool & AlTeRnAtIvE names, that belong in a c.d. in Urban Outfitters, but I really like them. Maybe I'm drinking too much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vertigo58 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Somewhere over the years the term New Age seemed to evolve into light jazz fusion or something like that? Was very soothing to listen to. There was a great station in LA called The Wave in mid 80's, very ahead of its time. Miss that. The Hyatt downtown used to offer free light jazz shows on Fridays? I still have the posters they used to hand out. K-Light Cafe was a regular radio program in this era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KimberlySayWhat Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Now I'm all nostalgic for the '90s. I wonder when that decade will make its comeback. It's been all '80s for the past several years now. Shouldn't it be winding down?

Subdude Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 80's never winds down!! It goes on and on!!! Hmmm, odd coincidence. A friend and I have this long-running game of trying to infect the other with obnoxious earworms (you know, the awful songs that get stuck in your head for days) mainly from the 1980s. Anyway, she was just pushing this one last week. Now it will be burned into my brain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deut28Thirteen Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 90's is the best!!! I like old school Rnb from the 60s-80s. Some of the hip hop and rap today is good but not all of it.
