Motor City Sonics Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I was at the store and Suddenly Last Summer came on and I didn't even know it, but I was singing along quite loudly. Got quite a few dirty looks too. I consider that a job well done. Soulless bastards.

Biff Mayhem Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Right now I’m listing to MCS host Under The Radar on WKLQ. I so rarely listen to the radio but turned it on while working in my basement and viola! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.TaterSalad Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Outside of a handful of songs, I don't listen to rap or hiphop. I went on the hunt for new music to listen to outside the boundaries of what I normally listen to genre-wise. I got hooked up with a rap song called They Reminisce Over You by artists named Peter Rock & CL Smooth. I had never heard the song nor of either artist. Real solid stuff! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMRivdogs Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 For something totally different. I saw The MSU Wind Symphony do this about a month ago in a live concert they streamed. This is from a couple of years ago and just as compelling....Keven Sedatole is a marvelous conductor and does a fantastic job getting these musicians ready Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motor City Sonics Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Arcade Fire is an acquired taste, but this new one is a vintage AF song and I certainly hope it marks the end of their disco-influenced detour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pfife Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 go vote and also discuss here I got the Beatles. I think then go Dylan, Stones, Zep. I love them all but that's my ranking. I could argue Dylan #1 though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1984Echoes Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 No way. It's between the Beatles and Zep, depending on mood. On some days it's the Beatles. On others Led Zeppelin. The Stones have some really classic songs that are must-listen-to. But so do the Beatles & Zep and to me I listen to almost everything from my top two. I have a 100 favorite Zep songs and 150 favorite Beatles songs... Maybe not that many, but something like that... Dylan? Nice songwriter... but I don't really listen to him, at all. Not zero, but close to it. There are way too many other interesting bands, and way way way more interesting (not even close) than Bob Dylan, even from the same era: The Velvet Underground, Hendrix, The Doors, The Who, Cream, The Small Faces... I'd rather listen to The Yardbirds as well... It's a long, long, long list before I get to Bob Dylan. But that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gehringer_2 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Beatles and Zep are too much apples and oranges to even try to compare. Beatles were song writers first and foremost. For Zep the 'songs' were really pretty secondary - they were just the scaffolds to hang their sound painting on. But jf you asked me which I would miss more if I could never hear a track again, it would be Zeppelin. But in part that's probably because of how old I am. I wasn't quite old enough for the Beatles music to mean as much to me when I first heard it as Zeppelin's did. Heck, to my HS cohort, the second side of Abbey Road was definitely a statement the Beatles could play in the album rock genre if they put their mind to it, but to us they were playing catch-up to what we were already listening to on WABX. So there is no way to separate that personal history from an 'objective' analysis. But that said, I listen to a lot more classical music than either today.

1984Echoes Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 That's why I said mood... To hear pop greatness (songwriting and clever musical hooks); it's Beatles without peers. To straight up rock, that's Zeppelin. I was born in 1964 and didn't really begin to appreciate music until I was around 12. They were both essentially before my time. But the Beatles swamped the airwaves, as did Zeppelin. When comparing apples with oranges... It depends on whether you feel like eating an apple at the moment... or an orange.

gehringer_2 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 the other thing with the Beatles if you are just my age was that pretty much except for side 2 of Abby Road, their celebrity had eclipsed their music. Nobody thought Rocky Racoon was great music, but we did spend hours taping the White Album anyway so we could play it backwards trying to solve the deeper mysteries of existence, or Paul's lack thereof.....
