@16f4 The Dead were in their prime from the early 70's to about
'80. Yes, sometimes they are off key.
Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding
So like most of you (I bet), I listen to tons of music. But there are just some albums I never learned to appreciate. I hope this thread can serve as a teaching tool. I did not get Mingus at first but now he is one of my favorites.
Perhaps ending each post with, "What am I missing?" would be a good idea.
I will start with Graceland by Paul Simon. Most of my friends call me crazy (still after all these years...OUCH that was bad) but I never desire to listen to this record. I get the African influence and rhythm but it just does not impress me. Alternatively when Peter Gabriel did the African influence thing I found it stunningly good. Paul Simon as a musician impresses me in his other works. What am I missing?

Very difficult to find any particular artist without a single track I don't like. As for genres, modern country makes me gag, every single song sounds alike. A number of these tunes played in succession gives me bad feeling like I'm being programmed to be this certain kind of conformist. Love the honkytonk era, individual personalities and life experiences here, this new crap generic nothingness. |
