| Beatles vs. Stones @bdp24 I’m a bigtime Carol King nut. I’m packed to the gills with knowledge and reverence of her stupefying ‘60s catalog (and Tapestry, of course). I’ve only heard the original Tony Orlando version of “Halfway to Paradise.” I dig Nick Lowe, ... | |
| Beatles vs. Stones @bdp24 Both Beatles and Stones, like pretty much every band that ever existed (as you noted, The Everly Brothers didn’t invent sublime two-part vocal harmony and had a wealth of recordings featuring such preceding them) started with covers, and ... | |
| Beatles vs. Stones @bdp24 “…I consider the idolization of the music of 1960’s groups over-the-top.” Without sounding gushy or “over-the-top,” what is “over-the-top” about folks putting Beatles #1, or putting a band that made “Jumpin’ Jack Flash,” “Satisfaction,” “S... | |
| Beatles vs. Stones @onhwy61 I thought you were joking at first, but the last bit of your post leaves me confused. Are you making these comments sincerely or as satire? | |
| Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time @thespeakerdude One could could argue that a love of music may inspire those that share such to express dismay at powerful forces in the music industry continually, perhaps even aggressively, eschewing originality and intelligence in favor of pand... | |
| Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time @clearthinker I appreciate your grace and understanding. | |
| Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time @clearthinker said nothing about jazz, and said absolutely no racist things. | |
| Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time @clearthinker I am extremely sorry, clearthinker. Those words of mine were NOT intended for this user, they were intended for coltrane1, it must have been the “c” thing when I fat-thumbed my response. Big mistake. I am very sorry. clearthi... | |
| Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time @onhwy61 “Musical labels are for record companies and radio stations marketing efforts.” Thank you. I feel people have inherited, internalized and accepted this stuff. Music journalists don’t help. The way they describe music is just an exerc... | |
| Beatles vs. Stones @jonwolfpell “Can’t You Hear Me Knocking” has never come even remotely close to getting old for me. This track, as you mentioned, turned up loud on a good system, might be as convincing as anything in terms of demonstrating the greatness of the ... | |
| Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time @clearthinker Once again, you’re just flat out wrong. The race of an artist, or group of artists, of a particular time/place, was completely irrelevant to the argument at hand. Yet, you inexplicably interjected such into your argument. By no mean... | |
| Beatles vs. Stones I felt John Lennon hit it on the head: “(The Rolling Stones) are not in the same class, music-wise…and never were.” I went so hard on Beatles in my youth that I may be more inclined to listen to the Stones these days (and I indeed enjoy the Ston... | |
| Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time @coltrane1 “Jazz is the most complex music ever, by black people no less.” Sweet Martha. Simply repugnant racism aside, you think fancy chords and improvisational acumen makes “Ellington and Parker” (we could throw in Monk, Mingus, and Coltrane ... | |
| Dylan's Time Out of Mind remix is Stunning I consider the sound of Time Out of Mind to be the best part of the album. Amazing depth, ambiance, sense of airiness/distance/physical space (the instruments/voices themselves, and the physical space they occupy together, whether in their room ... | |
| Joni Mitchell Blue - Wow help me Agoners The ‘07 Steve Hoffman/Kevin Gray-mastered Reprise 74842 vinyl pressing seems to garner rave reviews. $80-100+ in good shape. An ‘07 Bernie Grundman-mastered (original mastering engineer) Rhino 74795 HDCD can be had for about $20. The ‘20 Kevin... |
