i don't know
they shouldn't have cut that song from nevermind, they should have put that in place of polly for the end of side one |
Trying to remember, But my feelings can’t know for sure. Try to reach out But it’s gone... Lucky stars in your eyes... I’m walking the cow... I really don’t know how I came here... I really don’t know why I’m stayin’ here... Oh, Oh, Oh. I’m walking the cow... Tried to point my finger, But the wind keeps blowin’ me around In circles...circles... Lucky stars in your eyes... I’m walking the cow... I really don’t know what I have to fear... I really don’t know why I have to care... Oh, Oh, Oh. I’m walkin’ the cow... Lucky stars in your eyes... |

I'd have to disagree. Gish + SD = Epic (I hate when people say epic, but really they are) MCIS = Mediocre Adore = Great Machina I = Okay Machina II = Good Zeitgeist = Terribly Awful, everything about it is just wrong for me. I'd really have to agree with The Grateful Dead though. I never liked them. |

Thirded on the Grateful Dead front. They're not alright with me. :P

when a non-funk album is described as having a 'slight funk influence', it's almost certainly a pile of shit
|
if it's more than slight, is it good?
i.e. most dance-y post punk groups |
Quote:
Also when a band/solo artist/DJ is "finding the funk", it usually indicates that they're desperate to rip off of True funk in order to bolster their lame-ass sound. |
^^probably not. there's ok stuff out there (i imagine) but as a general rule of thumb...

I prefer The Geto Boys over N.W.A.

so do i. but then i don't really like NWA that much to begin with, i mean i think they're ok, but they only I can only think of 2 NWA songs that really excite me. |
Quote:
Even though I usually side with NWA in terms of influence and originality, I see where you come from stating you're opinion. NWA are one of those groups where people who grew up with them or were impressed by them will be die-hard fans/followers. Where as people who know who they are and can name a couple of songs, usually just ''fuck tha police'' and ''straight outta compton'', will dismiss the group as overrated and irrelevant. |

Keep in mind that in the early 90s the was a certain template rock songs had to adhere to, and most of Nirvana's more interesting material didn't fit that template. Quote:
I remember reading that Kurt wanted to end each side with a quiet acoustic number. I'd put this in instead of Stay Away, which if you ask me is a lame attempt at a punk song that doesn't get really good until the end. It'd have to be remixed though... |
PINKKKKK it's my new obsession
|
The Chameleons are among the finest bands to ever have picked up a guitar.

I love, or at some point have loved all of the smashing pumpkins albums' except Machina. |

i prefer wu tang over any other rap |
^^^ I don't think that's an unpopular opinion! Hah.
Wu-Tang is forever, motherfuckers. |
Quote:
the first time i heard NWA was in 1990 when 100 Miles and Runnin' came out, I thought it was a great song then and I still do now, the other song I really like by them is Straight Outta Compton, I own that album too, I just am not that into any of the other tracks on it. I've been listening to hiphop for 20 years and I'm fully aware of the importance of NWA, but overall their music just doesn't move that much. |

I'm obviously not in any position to say what constitutes the 'heart' of american music but I suspect you're right in suggesting jazz and blues. However, while it's clear that the blues was a massive influence on early RnR. I think jazz is a little more secondary. Rather than having a direct impact on RnR (compared with that of say country or gospel) it was more filtered through its influence on those genres that informed it (in particular blues). I can't agree with your second point at all though. Besides the fact that I'm not altogether sure what you mean by 'real' jazz, I think that to refer to any kind of jazz as pure would be to ignore the numerous influence that other musical traditions had on it. i think it's hard to consider any music as pure but certainly jazz is one I'd consider as being among the least. Indeed, returning to your original point, jazz may well be the quintessential american music largely because of its very lack of purity. |

The first Wu-Tang album (and the associated solo LPs) are all stone killers. Wu Tang's "Forever" album has some great musical backing, but the raps I felt weren't on the same level of greatness as on "...36 Chambers". And ODB's "Dogshit" really is rather embarrassing - it's like listening to your dad/uncle swear in order to appear shocking. |
jicks are way better than pavement

I wasn't asserting that you fell into the category in which I described in my post. I was simply stating what I had observed to be a fairly universal truth. |

Better at curing insomnia? Definitely. |
Come are the best early 90s alt rock band.

I have two Come LP's that I do not listen to. if you want them we canset up a trade. make me a sweet Mix CD and I will ship you the Come LP's. |
Quote:
on vinyl, assuming? i'll take you up on the trade if Derek doesn't want to. |
on vinyl like a mofucka

Quote:
Wow! That sort of surprises me: you not being all that into them I mean. 11:11 is a superb album I think. No absolute reason why you should agree of course, I'd just assume that you liked them quite a lot. |
I didn't know there were two Comes
|
not in the same night there aren't. At least not once you hit the wrong side of thirty.
|
lol

I love codeine, but Come just does not please my ears too much. kind of half-assy to me. I will get the LP names and post them when I get home. (EDIT) half-assy is not the right descriptive, more like too subsumed. |
It is the first two LP's
Eleven:Eleven Don't Ask Don't Tell |
I love codeine, too. In fact, right now, I REALLY love it...
|
I think Hole's first album is one of the best of the 90's. Everything else they put out was absolute shit. And no one ever agrees with me!
