  1. Genres You Hate, Songs You Love

    in Music Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Guest

    I dislike most rap too, but I like K-OS, Wyclef Jean, N.W.A. Public Enemy, Run DMC.

    I dislike most heavy metal as well, but I can appreciate some songs by Metallica, Black Sabbath, Black Label Society.

    I dislike most punk, but I really enjoy the Ramones, Some Sex Pistols, Stooges, Clash, and a song here and there by punk/emo bands like Panic! at the disco, senses fail, thrice. I suppose you could call some of them hard rock.........

  7. Rock 'n Roll Is Dead

    in Music Discussion

    Posted

    This is a song by Aaron MacDonald Band that is written completely with the titles of rock songs. I'm trying to compile a list of songs and the artists of that song , and I need help.

    Here Are the lyrics:

    Excuse Me Mr. I wanna touch your sexy body

    Excuse me Mr. Are you goin my way

    When i came upon a boardhouse lookin for a place to stay

    With an old laughing lady with so much to say

    Lord I'm comin home to you, walkin on the sun

    I'm like the doodah man at the hundreth meridian

    CHORUS:

    Who Said Rock 'n Roll Is Dead

    I Wanna Know Who Said Rock 'n Roll Is Dead

    Sitting in a railway station, just diggin a hole

    Step lightly from the ledge baby, say hello to mr. Soul

    For The wind is in from Africa and the water tasted like wine

    Well Everybody knows you went your way And I stayed behind

    I'm gonna cut my head now cause tuesdays gone

    It's too much this magic bus and this redemption song

    CHORUS

    Hey Joe, Got Me Some Trouble

    She believes that the world is a bubble

    She says everyday's a winding road, but I've got this ocean pearl

    But Joe you be my begging baby I'll be your north country girl

    But Joe was taught a month ago about Lucy In The Sky

    Stood up and laughed, no woman no pride

    CHORUS

    Well down at the roadhouse I've been recently

    You get your money for nothing baby, and your ticks for free

    Sweet Jane is in the corner screaming yes I am

    She went from hank to hendrix can't find a better man

    She sees daddy with taxi buses and US guards all around

    Look out mama here's your 19th nervous breakdown

    CHORUS

    Going down hannibal, give a dog a bone

    Well its the doctor of philosophy, he says I'm Alone, I'm alone , I'm alone

    He says I got a fast car, now what would you say

    She can rattle my hum, shes crawled she (??????????)

    I aint got no shoes, so lets keep truckin out of sight, Don't think twice baby cause tonight is the night.

    CHORUS

    Some of the lyrics are definetly wrong, so if someone can figure it out, or ... legally download it, make your changes

  13. same band- different incarnations??

    I can name 100 good bands/artistrs around since 2000!

    You're just pre-judging by top 40 material. I would say music today is just as solid as it was in the 60's and 70's.

    And when you slated Death Cab as Power Pop, could you not call the Beatles the same thing?

    And I can only see things improving from now on.

    In High Schools nowadays (At least where I go) it is not cool to like Top 40 stuff anymore. If a girl likes Britney Spears, she will be shunned. If a guy likes Justin Timberlake, he will be beat up. Pop Punk like Simple Plan and Good Charlotte is for losers. The bands that are forming nowadays will be influenced by serious musicians, Led Zeppelin etc. And those who delve deep (like myself) gain influences like jazz, blues, folk and will mature into a complete musician. Kids nowadays will have the complete picture. You browse MySpace, you can find solid songs and bands almost anywhere you go. I myself am excited for the development of music, and I kick myself for being stuck in the 70's box I was in for about a year, because there is SO much more out there.

  20. Battle Of Los Angles - Rage Against The Machine

    RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE

    I listened to this album after Dylan's Freewheelin'. The contrast was night and day musically. One acoustic guitar chording and his trademark vocals, compared to Heavy Single Note Riffs and rap. But it was refreshing. And although RAGE is much more graphic and violent, I thought "These are two artists (Dylan and Zack de la Rocha) have essentially the same ideas. They sing protest songs, Rage goes into detail politically, and Dylan doesn't but both their points get across. Their metaphors are beautifully crafted, and really punch their points. Two albums that I love, released 30 years apart, but that still hold the same concepts. One for the relaxed side of my soul, and one for the angry, wide awake side.

    It starts off with A heavy song Testify with intense lyrics about the media blowing things out of proportion and getting things wrong and proclaiming it to the world. Then goes onto the hit of the album Guerilla radio with fantastic instrumental performances, and an inspired rap about the 2000 election. talks about Gore and Bush.

    As the album goes on I hear the viciousness and passion in de la Rocha's voice in songs like Born as Ghosts, and Calm Like A Bomb.

    The band is very politically aware, and to fully understand what they are talking about you need to be fairly knowledgeable on the subject. But what impresses me, is that even before understanding it fully (With the help of Songfacts :P) I can feel what he's talking about and agree with him.

    On top of all of these radical lyrics and opinions is also a great hard rock record.

    Tom Morello never ceases to amaze me. One of the top and most influential guitarists of late, he goes places with the riffs I would certainly never think of going in that type of riff, but it leaves me going wow. I know that if ever I am in the mood for something to get my anger out, or just to rock out to, this is my #1 album.

    Hard Rock at it's finest.

    Can't stand very much of it. . . I can listen to Led Zeppelin's metal songs because they keep it interesting, AND I know they have another side. I'll also hear a song now and then that will spark my interst, but not usually. . . It's not for me.
