The Music Thread.

Oh and Chair, I think you mean 'needs exposure to new stuff.' You're very guilty of stating your musical tastes are 'good' in relation to other things. I'm not going to start an argument over the good/bad thing but people really need to get it into their head that there isn't good or bad in music. Just personal tastes.

 

Surely you could have just got the gist that they have the "potential" to appreciate a lot of the slightly "off the radar" stuff that he likes?

 

We say good because we think it's good...it's annloying to have to say IMO IMO all the time.

 

It's different when dealing with musical "facts" being stated and whatnot.

No, I mean they need exposure to things which aren't Britney Spears / Europop.

 

Seriously, that's all that's on her iPod. Britney Spears, the Juno soundtrack and various 90's pop anthems.

 

However, I didn't lose faith, because I put on Everything by Alanis Morissette and she sat and listened and at the end really genuinely said "I really enjoyed that."

 

Then I made her a mix tape CD with various lovely songs - including Glass by Bat For Lashes - which she rates too highly. Literally goes on too much about Fight Like Apes and Skinny Love by Bon Iver.

@ Goaferboy - I agree with Free Bird and Bohemian Rhapsody as being on your list of the best songs. They are indeed two of the best songs ever. Should be on everyone's list.

 

Yeah, I feel the same about all the songs on the list. Apart from Lostprophets and The Ataris, they were more of a personal choice. The list wasn't in any order, but I would consider "What a wonderful world" to be number 1 on it.

 

I don't think I could do a 2009 list. I can't remember the last song I listened to that was released this year. I don't really listen to new music that much. I don't have sky so the only method of hearing music is the radio. I need to get a DAB radio so I can get some more rock based options.

[chairdriver]

 

?

 

No, not even that good.

 

More like Eiffel 65' or whatever. And Aqua Barbie Girl.

Radio and TV really are not the best ways to listen to the best new music.

 

The internet has done wonder for the exposure of brilliant music!

Take a listen to this:

 

 

It was released this year (this/last month). PJ Harvey is the queen of rock music. And John Parish is a great guitarist.

 

What do you think?

[Paj!]

 

I'd never seen the video before, it was really good!

Why do I wake up everyday, and clap at the fact that god created you?

 

Literally the most eclectic, brilliant list I've ever read.

I love Sunburn too, there are a lot of good tracks on Showbiz I really like the title track from that album not to mention Unintended and Overdue. : peace:

I love the image of you waking up. OH and clapping. :p

 

Moving on,

 

Why thank you!

 

I'd get bored if I constantly listened to the same genre. I like to try everything!

 

It's only a quick list at the moment. That was from the Top of my head so I could be missing some other stuff I like/prefer.

unintended

 

that song has made me want to cry on so many occasions!

i have no idea why... i just love it

[DuD]

I was really disapointed last time i saw muse because they completely ignored showbiz

[GothicPlague]

I was really disapointed last time i saw muse because they completely ignored showbiz

 

Could be worse they could completely ignore Origin Of Symmetry.

It's truly beautiful Imo, just finished listening to it and it's one of those tracks where I still get those 'shivers' down my spine like I have since the first time I listened to it. ^^

 

Not all music has that effect on me, but it makes the songs that do have that power all the more special.

[chairdriver]

 

This performance is just so good.

 

It's like she's actually pouring out the music fuelled by the pain of her miscarriage.

 

 

Enshrouded by sorrow and encouraged by compassion, and weilding a shield wrought from the hearts of lovers intertwined in destiny, Tori Amos seeks to descend into Kingdom Hearts to reclaim the precious things that came so close, yet slipped so far.

[Paj!]

No one'll watch it. Mark my words.

 

But yes, one of the most disturbing live performances I've ever seen. She was pretty fucked up/off back in those days.

yeh definately!!

i find it hard to find songs that i really really like.. but like u said - when it does happen it makes it all the better =)

[DuD]

They nearly did that... couldn't believe there was no citizen erased. I had to check with everybody else that i hadn't passed out or something and missed half the set.

[chairdriver]

No one'll watch it. Mark my words.

 

They better, because I have officially ejaculated over it.

[darksnowman]

Showbiz has some good stuff on it alright. They still play the odd tune from it- Unintended and Muscle Museum being the main offenders. They have so much material these days though its understandable that some of the older stuff gets left behind... they play Bliss a lot less now.
