Foolonthehill Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 Excellent choice Toni. You a big Yes fan?
Rayzor Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 (edited) Where's Bon Scott's name? And Ozzy Osbourne? And how in the holy-blue-heck do you make a list like this and not have Elton John, Billy Joel, Ella Fitzgerald, James Brown among hundreds of others? This list should be wadded up and used as toilet paper to wipe my *ss next time I go!! Stupid f#$%ing kids don't know anything about music from before 1990 and it sickens me. In school we learn our country's history in 1 class: history. So music class: After learning our national anthem, why can't the kids at least get an overview of types of music that started, no exact dates or years necessary, just let them know that after Mozart there were other musicians than Kurt Cobain! Edited February 27, 2008 by Guest I'm drinking... sue me!
TheLizard Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 Some of us young whippersnappers know plenty of stuff before 1990. And some old cranky people could do with some lessons in music after 1990.
Rayzor Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 TimLizzy, you do realize that this list was taken from two places geared toward young teens, which is why I am pretty sure there wasn't much input from the "old cranky people"
TheLizard Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 Yeah I know, I think it's a crappy list too. All I'm saying (which is something I've been saying ever since I got here) is that openmindedness works both ways. And just so you don't get the wrong ideas, I don't think you're a cranky geezer any more than I'm a whippersnapper.
_Laurie_ Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 No Roger Daltrey??....I think he has the greatest voice, especially for rock-n-roll, and should be on that list!
Rayzor Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 Believe me... I like Drowning Pool, Slipknot, Linkin Park (I've had Numb in my head all day!) and many more. Rap, hip-hop and techno don't thrill me... kinda like disco, adult contemporary and new country/western. I'm not quite a geezer yet... a year and a week from now maybe! But you are a whippersnapper to me! I just got cranky at the list, you know I'm usually nice while I drink!
TheLizard Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 Ah, well I'll give you credit for at least listening to modern music, even though there are so many better choices than the three you listened. Might I suggest Black Mountain? I'm fairly sure you'll like them.
Rayzor Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 Black Mountain is pretty good! Searching through youtube for new music is filled with hip-hop and rap though, just to show what the "in" thing is right now. (The 80's was the pop-era after all, right?) I just listed a few bands, by the way, because I'd be up all night trying to remember the names of those new bands (Nickelback, Bif Naked, Five for Fighting, Train, etc) that's why I just put "and many more.
Tony Baloni Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 Excellent choice Toni. You a big Yes fan? Mhm.
Foolonthehill Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 Which would be your favourite of their albums? (sorry off-topic again- maybe I should find an old Yes thread)
Tony Baloni Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 Haha, it's ok. To be honest, I haven't listened to a ton of Yes albums. I'd have to say Close To The Edge is my favorite, though. I've heard Tales from Topographic Oceans only once, and thought it was pretty great.
TheLizard Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 Searching through youtube for new music is filled with hip-hop and rap though, just to show what the "in" thing is right now. (The 80's was the pop-era after all, right?) Most serious music listeners know will tell you that the majority of the "mainstream" sucks, but there's plenty of great stuff out if you do a little digging.
Tony Baloni Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 Yeah, I'm not a big fan of the modern, alternative type metal that is so popular right now. I mean, I don't mind listening to it, but I don't go out of my way to hear it, ya know?
TheLizard Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 Metal-esque, more like. Most of 'em wouldn't know a good Iron Maiden song if it bit them in the butt.
Steel2Velvet Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 Where's Dusty Springfield? I know. I know. "Right outside muddy Dayton." Yeah, yeah.
chinchu Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 Kurt Cobain? Björk? Tupac? Thom yorke?... This list is messed up...
Farin Posted March 11, 2008 Author Report Posted March 11, 2008 I kinda like Björk and Thom Yorke's voices... but you get bonus points for using the 'ö'
Tony Baloni Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 That video's sad. I never even heard of him till today, but man, I like him already! RIP Jeff
Rayzor Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 Can you believe he's blind? It's amazing what that guy did.
Sweet Jane 61 Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 Ray, you missed my show on Friday and I played Jeff's version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps, great song, I love him and miss him.
