Music Tastes

GamePlayer · Post by **GamePlayer** » 03 Jun 2008 22:53

IMO, a good album is a good album. It doesn't matter when it was released. Perhaps certain decades did produce more worthwhile music than others, but I've never subscribed to any particular era. I adore every track on Led Zeppelins IV made in 1971, all the songs on The Tea Party's The Edges of Twilight made in 1995 and every tune in Jay-Z's 2007 concept album American Gangster. Good music is where you find it

I agree. Im just saying that during certain times, music was better in general. Now would not be one of those times.

I would say that during certain times, popular music was generally better.

What passes for music on the radio lately just sucks a lot. There's a great deal of good music being produced today, it's just not always easy to find.

On that note, I just started listening to the album Strawberry Jam by the Animal Collective(a 2007 album), and it's great.

I could listen to Fireworks looping for hours...

Reggae slipped by me.

I am just getting into Jamaicana. The movies I've acquired show the real Jamaica; My favorite is Rockers. I've just gotten music by
The Wailers
Third World
Robbie "Robbie" Shakespeare
Gregory "Jah Tooth" Issacs
Bunny "Bunny Wailer" Livingston
Winston Hubert "Peter Tosh" McIntosh (Stepping Razor)
Inner circle with singer Jacob "Jakes" Miller in the movie Rockers singing Tenement Yard.
Ashely ( lives on the hills above Montego Bay ) does a Rastafarian prayer at the start of the movie in conjuction with The Abyssinians playing Satta Massagana.
Richard "Dirty Harry" Hall
Leroy "Horsemouth" Wallace
Winston "Burning Spear" Rodney in the movie sings, Jah No Dead
Lester "Dillinger" Bullocks
Manley "Big Youth" Buchanan
This music from the "golden age" of Reggae is fabulous.
The Wailers sound is like, pure, a la Led Zeppelin. Simple? and to the point.

I recently bought also, Steely Dan, the Defenitive Collection. Great stuff all of their songs, but Josie is not included.

Someone here said that they could listen to Josie all day. I probably have heard the song, but I do not know which one it is. I'll buy it.

This Jamaican music is all right.

Did you know that the Cops theme song originated from Third World?

Yes Rasta, I Rey. I and I proceed forward, Loveful Heights thru I Supreme.
and I tell you...that not even the dogs that piss on Babylon's wall will miss seeing the day when Babylon Shall Fall.

Just bought a cheap MP3 player so I can listen to Rammstien 24/7.

Hopefully it doesn't bite the dust too soon. Anyone ever used http://www.sandisk.com/Products/Product ... px?ID=2459 or knows if I just wasted my good money(granted, not much of it)?

^^^ Sandisk kit seems to be alright, not super/not shite. If the sound is none to great I'd suggest trying to get a better pair of headphone, shure make some lovelies that are a steal at £80. But I'm sure you can find others waaayy cheaper.

I am listening for the first time to the debut album of MGMT - Oracular Spectacular.

Great to hear new psychedelic pop for a change.

Purge · Post by **Purge** » 29 Jul 2008 08:50

Some of my faves are Bad Religion, Social Distortion, and Fugazi.

A Thing of Eternity · Post by **A Thing of Eternity** » 29 Jul 2008 11:43

Hey, a Fugazi fan! Big into oldschool hardcore punk or just that particular band?

Purge · Post by **Purge** » 29 Jul 2008 12:14

Them in particular, although I am not saying there aren't others like them I enjoy.

Spicelon · Post by **Spicelon** » 29 Jul 2008 12:19

The music I like (for the most part) you'll never hear on the radio or see on
TV. I guess the one band that's quasi-famous now that came from the scene
I like is Wilco, but they've moved on into expiremental pop-rock, and frankly
I'm not that impressed.

My favorites:

Uncle Tupelo
Son Volt
Jay Farrar
Whiskeytown
Ryan Adams (NOT Bryan Adams)
My Morning Jacket
Anders Parker

and...

Pink Floyd
Grateful Dead
Talking Heads
U2
Alice in Chains
Neil fucking Young

Southern men don't listen to Neil Young.

Ryan Adams is the shit.

Uh, Freak, what do Southern men listen to other than country?

What are you doing Alabama?
You got the rest of the union
to help you along
What's going wrong?

I saw cotton
and I saw black
Tall white mansions
and little shacks.
Southern man
when will you
pay them back?
I heard screamin'
and bullwhips cracking
How long? How long?

Neil Young is country?! The dude can wail on the axe better than most
wannabe thrash rockers.

No, but you're talking about Southern men and their music tastes. I don't think Southern men tend to rock out, either, unless they're in a Southern rock band. Which is halfway to country, anyway.

I have the 7 minute instrumental version on my computer, which is in some ways even better. Epic facemelting guitar.
