| Why does most new music suck? Obviously, not all new music is rock n roll, but one of the things that I miss (and I have a feeling it is one of the things that Goose also misses) is this kind of raw abandon and "I don't give a f&@k attitude":http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0W... | |
| Why does most new music suck? Toddnkaya, thanks for introducing me to Ben Howard. Of all the examples of "new" music so far, probably the only that I would definitely buy. I think the guy really has something to say, and a really interesting voice and singing style. Great stuff. | |
| Why does most new music suck? Rok, beautiful song, and Oleta Adams has a beautiful voice with a lot of different colors and great phrasing. Music like that is a breath of fresh air in its lack of pretense, as opposed to so many other examples that seem to be trying so hard to ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****swept away by the awesome greatness of the man**** Beautiful way of describing the effect that many say they feel when listening to his playing; especially live. I have been told by the handful of lucky individuals (mostly other musicians) who... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ah, GREAT choice! One of the all-time great melodies, IMO; and one of the favorite vehicles for improvisation of jazz players. I didn't know this version by Harold Land, but I love it; thanks for sharing. Besides being a beautiful and haunting mel... | |
| Why does most new music suck? ****It seems useless to me to spoon feed someone music deemed good by one person. As has been pointed out, individual preferences abound naturally. Seems like a pointless effort.**** - Mapman****I have near zero hope that Orpheus or Frog will like... | |
| Why does most new music suck? Bingo! (to the extent that I agree with the statement) | |
| Why does most new music suck? I seldom disagree with EVERY point made (except the one re Rok's style) in a post. That was one of them. Sorry.****Musicianship is irrelevant to this question****Geez!A great composer is, by definition, a great musician. Please explain your comment. | |
| Why does most new music suck? Martykl, re Amelia Curran: now we're talking! Thanks. Actually, my wife will love her; I'll check her out. Amelia, that is; my wife, I have already checked out :-)Doesn't suck!http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vMw9hte8IHs | |
| Why does most new music suck? Rok, stick around; as Ray said to Betty: "Baby, it's cold outside" | |
| Why does most new music suck? Ok, I am going to try to, as Mapman (?) said earlier, "blow the whistle".I think this thread has a lot of potential, has inspired some very thoughtful commnents, and is just starting to get good. As is usually the case with these discussions we do... | |
| Why does most new music suck? New, and doesn't suck! Check out what a great drummer can do with a snare drum ONLY!http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5IAhAXRXyas | |
| Why does most new music suck? Acman3, if those comments were directed at me, I think you don't give my open mind enough credit. I liked the Ben Harper a lot, the Jayhawks I get and like but wouldn't go out of my way to listen to, and the Sparklehorse I couldn't download; I wil... | |
| Why does most new music suck? Mapman, thanks for sharing. I like the some of the production values, although I don't feel the song (by itself) conveys the horror and violence of war with it's modern-musical-theater sensibility; and I am not sure it stands up well without the v... | |
| Why does most new music suck? Rok, it is as if you wrote my post for me. I am still waiting for examples of what others consider great current pop music. Not to argue about it (although there may or may not be disagreement), but with honest interest. |
