Best Musical Artist

[Dominick]

Ok, I called it musical artist because it's not limited to bands or rock.:lol:

There's a hundred of them so to get things moving a bit I suggest you can make a +2, +1, -1, -2 each day. You can thus affect four Musical Artists (TM) each post.

Have fun !

+2 for Radiohead because I think they are the best band pushing music to new levels even today.

+1 for The Pixies because without them we never would have even had Nirvana.

-2 for Metallica because really they had a couple great albums but most of them are crap.

-1 for Journey because I had to listen to that shit on a juke box at work for years and it isn't even close to being as good as people think it is.

I'm first going to credit voices. Female voices. What Björk is capable of sometimes defies hearing. And the much maligned band Abba held one of the most beautiful voices ever in pop, that of Agnetha Fältskog.

A minus two goes to Bon Jovi. Yuck ! :lame:
A minus one to Guns' and Roses for similar reasons though they're not that bad.

Sweet... I just noticed Traffick there!!! "The low spark of high heeled boys" is not only one of the coolest songs of all time, it is a pretty cool title - if you know where it comes from. ;)

+2 to the Beatles, because they are arguably the most influential rock band ever. +1 to Metallica because their early stuff had a lot of influence on Metal and was pretty damned good (I don't think they're the greatest by any stretch, but I don't think they deserve to slide off the list anywhere near as quickly as things like Journey or the Bee Gees).

-1 to the Bee Gees because there's no -20 option, and -2 to Bon Jovi because he really, really sucks (the amusing spectacle of drunk frat boys in a Pittsburgh bar belting out "Livin on a Prayer" aside :) )

I also might suggest amending the title to "Best Rock-Type Artist". Aside from Johnny Cash (country) and a few other exceptions, that's mostly what we have here. No BB King, Mozart, Miles Davis, Biggie Smalls, etc, indicates that those respective genres are not being considered.

[Michael]

I think the BeeGees seem like a "North American" equivilent to the "European" Abba.

They were both wildly popular and successful in their day, with lots of chart topping 'bubble-gum' hits. They are both had rather 'clean' images yet both groups seem somehow vaguely creepy and very easy to make fun of.

Not to mention Mozart, Bach and Beethoven, who were (arguably) great musical artists.

Björk +1 and Bowie +2, for innovation skills and great candy for both the ears and the mind. Soundgarden -2 for having nothing in the bag, and Dire Straits -1 because I never liked Knopfler's monotony.

+2 to Santana for being old as sin and still an amazing guitarist, and for exploring new genres and mixing and matching as music evolves.
+1 to Zeppelin for being Awesome.
-1 to Lynyrd Skynyrd because I get a vaguely bigoted vibe from them most of the time.
-2 to the Grateful Dead because I can't stand them.

I'm totally with you on Skynyrd and The Grateful Dead. Skynard is so overrated and much of it just comes from the whole southern pride thing.

The reason so many people trip acid at Dead concerts is you have to be fucked up to actually enjoy that shit. I feel the same way about many jam bands actually.

Speaking of guitarists, there is but one God in that department: Jimi + 2
And Jimmy Page isn't half bad either : +1 for the Zep

Minus 1 for the Eagles, because besides Hotel California all their songs are so, well, boring really.

Minus 2 for REM. For being wussies really :)

[Dominick]

Not to mention Mozart, Bach and Beethoven, who were (arguably) great musical artists.

I also might suggest amending the title to "Best Rock-Type Artist". Aside from Johnny Cash (country) and a few other exceptions, that's mostly what we have here. No BB King, Mozart, Miles Davis, Biggie Smalls, etc, indicates that those respective genres are not being considered.
We should have user adjustable thread titles :lol:
Call it what you will :) No definition will suit this arbitrary selection.

Aw, I disagree. I would say there is a whole pantheon of guitar gods, but Mr. Hendrix is certainly one of them!

+2 for King Crimson. By far the best progressive rock band in my opinion. I especially love Discipline.

+1 for Pavement. They are a very influential indie band and indie music provides most of the best music that comes out these days.

-2 for Aerosmith because really they are just a cheap knock off of Led Zeppelin minus the talent.

And finally -1 for Van Halen for having a boring rhythm section, Eddie being overrated just because he plays fast even though the style sucks, and for all of their singers for sucking in my opinion. Many David Lee Roth fans would be pissed but shaking his ass in spandex and singing crappy party tunes does not do it for me.

I actually like U2's work up to Actung Baby but I think everything they have released since is crap.

I actually like U2's work up to Actung Baby but I think everything they have released since is crap.

I had a friend in high school who listened to a lot of U2. For whatever reason, it just grated on my ears, and ever since then I've had a deep dislike for all things U2. They actually embody an entire kind of "rock" music that was popular in the early to late 1990s that I have no use for. It just doesn't do anything for me.

That's an interesting thing about music. One person can be totally into a song and you can tell they just feel a connection with it, but somebody right next to them can be totally unmoved. I wonder sometimes how different tastes in music develop.

[Michael]

I actually like U2's work up to Actung Baby but I think everything they have released since is crap.
I really like the first five albums and that's it. Joshua Tree for me is the first bad album from them. It just seems to get worse with every album after that.

But Boy, October, War, Under a Blood Red Sky and Unforgetable Fire are all excellent albums.

Now they just seem like some generic Christian Rock band - all clean and no edge.

Btw, it is amusing that U2 was fantastic while they were veritable unknowns from Ireland. But Joshua Tree is their first really big success in the US market. I can think of several other bands that follow the same pattern - fantastic creativity right up until they find success in the US market and then they become crap.

[drgoodtrips]

I liked some of their old stuff as well and have some of those albums, but I've never been any kind of enormous fan. And now, I can't think of them without thinking of the South Park episode with Bono on it.

+2 for The Cure for being like an old friend, and marvelous songs like "Watching Me Fall" and "Closedown"
+1 for Tool, for past glories of a time before someone musically castrated them. The old redeems the new.
-2 for Nirvana for making it seem cool to have no talent
-1 for Aerosmith for making it seem cool to let a mutant front your band

I was gonna let Bon Jovi have it first and foremost, but I see you all have that pretty much covered already.

[partofme]

I really like the first five albums and that's it. Joshua Tree for me is the first bad album from them. It just seems to get worse with every album after that.

But Boy, October, War, Under a Blood Red Sky and Unforgetable Fire are all excellent albums.

Now they just seem like some generic Christian Rock band - all clean and no edge.

Btw, it is amusing that U2 was fantastic while they were veritable unknowns from Ireland. But Joshua Tree is their first really big success in the US market. I can think of several other bands that follow the same pattern - fantastic creativity right up until they find success in the US market and then they become crap.

God Tier: Boy, War, The Joshua Tree, Achtung Baby

Good Tier: The Unforgettable Fire, Zooropa

Mid Tier: All That You Can't Leave Behind, October

Bottom Tier: How To Dismantle A Atomic Bomb

Shit Tier: No Line On The Horizon, Pop

Something strange is happening here... I started posting in another thread and wound up in this one... :ummm:

And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"
Remember what the dormouse said;

+2 for The Beatles. I know they are the obvious choice in most of these things but really I can't think of any other group that has produced such a huge amount of absolute classic songs.

+1 to Pink Floyd. So many five star albums. I always think they don't get enough respect. On VH1's list of the top 100 artist they only got 25 which is criminal and only Darkside Of The Moon was on their top albums at 50 or something which just blows my mind.

-2 for writing variations of the exact same music over and over again.

-1 for ZZ Top. Because it's just awful.

-2 for Björk for the most creepiest music/voice I've ever heard (making me want to run from the room screaming).
Björk is many things, but creepy ? :wtf::blink:
What song(s) are you referring to ?

[Dominick]

Aw, I disagree. I would say there is a whole pantheon of guitar gods, but Mr. Hendrix is certainly one of them!
Okay. :swords:
Who ?
Robert Johnson, BB King, Django Rheinhardt, Philippe Cathérine, etc., etc.... are all great pioneers, virtuosi and song writers but if one works real hard and has some talent, one can play exactly like them. But nobody has ever played Hendrix à la Hendrix. The intuitivity, feel, touch, magic is uncomparable and unmatched to this day.

I don't memorize the titles of music I don't like - normally, I don't even know the name of the musicians I dislike the most.

Suffice it to say 'all of it'. It all sounds the same to me - hideous - like fingernails on a chalk board.

Ask Greendruid - he's a fan and has subjected me to that monstrosity of a noisemaker several times.

[Michael]

I can't imagine why anyone would want to.

I like most of Hendrix's songs - some pretty good ones there - except when he gets into guitar solos. That turns me off his music totally.

Btw, it should be bloody obvious by now that music taste is entirely subjective. There is no way one can objectively assert that one particular guitarist is 'great'. There is no objective measure everyone will agree upon.

To me, the best guitarist is one that doesn't annoy me with screeching noise - a criteria that Hendrix fails spectacularly. Indeed, Hendrix would be the very worst guitarist on any list that I created of the 'greatest guitarists' since he annoys me the most of all guitarists.

Of course it's subjective. Which is why I can be shocked and think saying Hendrix's guitar solos being the only part you don't like is similar to saying it would of been great getting Marilyn Monroe in bed other than her hideous looks.

I don't think Marilyn Monroe was particularly pretty or talented. She always seemed rather shallow, pathetic and needy in my view.

But she was Hollywood-hyped as 'beautiful and sexy'. I suspect that Hollywood-hype is what attracts many people. Indeed, the boy Robert Pattison proves this quite well - he's the 'hearthrob star' of Twilight. He jokes that a few months ago, he couldn't get a date - now he has tens of thousands of girls throwing themselves at him. A few months ago, he didn't have Hollywood-hype behind him.

Btw, I'm not much of a fan of Deep Purple or AC/DC or any of the Metal bands for the same reason - I don't like guitar-heavy music.

I just picked her because she is the best person to fit my point.

[Michael]

I just picked her because she is the best person to fit my point.
And I think she illustrates my point perfectly. ;)

Average looking girl with serious emotional/mental issues doesn't become "beautiful" just because Hollywood hypes her. Many people believe that this occurs - I'm not one of them. The hype doesn't fool me.

As for Hendrix, for the world's greatest guitarist, he sure had lousy sales figures. Apparently the market either doesn't agree or doesn't value great guitarists. Indeed, a list of the world's greatest guitarists reads like a list of second string recording artists (judged by gross sales).

I don't own, nor have I ever owned, a single Björk album. Either you have me confused with someone else or (more likely) you have some of my other hideous music confused with Björk.

Technically he only had three official albums and I don't know what the sales figures are but I'm sure they are three have sold pretty well considering how often they get released and remastered.

[Michael]

The point is that the market for music is not predicated on the skill/ability of the musician - only the enjoyment factor.

And Hendrix's sales figures for those three albums are mediocre at best - lame by comparison to someone truly popular. The point here is that the market obviously didn't fall all over Hendrix for his masterful guitar playing. Using sales figures, guitar masters aren't all that popular. Of all the respective 'guitar gods', none of them are known for massive sales/popularity on the scale of Beetles, Stones or even Brittany Spears.

Indeed, I suspect that the BeeGees, BonJovi and Brittany Spears all have substantially higher commerical success than Jimi Hendrix. That is to say, some people may love great guitarists - but they are obviously a small minority of the music consuming public.

Also given Greendruid's confusion, I doubt you either are actually talking about Björk or don't know the full extent of her work. On the album Vespertine she has written and composed some of the most intimistic, almost minimalistic music I know off.
Example from Vespertine: Cocoon (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-RSfP7kdvw)
Other example : Sun in my mouth (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8XXkcvmV7k)

Now, if you were talking about this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osq0rJdt0Yc) woman, I'd understand. But I like that one too :D

And ? Who cares about sales ? Sales people and shareholders I suppose. Fuck'em. You're not going to claim that that Spears woman is qualitatively better than Hendrix because she sells more, do you?

I think one thing about arguing about Britney Spears is that your really not talking about music. Sure the main product people buy is a album but much of the appeal has much more to do with style, personality, sex appeal, and trends. If her albums had come out before the days of MTV I would bet that she never would have sold nearly as many albums. Much of the money she pulls in actually comes from shirts, posters, clothing accessories, and all sorts of other products. Britney doesn't play a instrument, she doesn't write most of her songs, the sound of her albums is all due to her producers, and the actually use all sorts of effects to manipulate the sound of her voice. If she was to sing without those it would sound quite different. But really when you talk about popular music much of this is always a major part of it rock music included.

Compositions.

Jon Lord had a classical music upbringing and it shows. Deep Purple songs are easily arranged for symphonic orchestras and JL has even actually written symphonies. +2
The same, though to a somewhat lesser extent goes for Rush : +1

I like 70's music with 20 minutes songs. Some bands were great at those, and some weren't. Yes was awful in that regard : -2
There's a couple of bands in this list I didn't know and have been checking out. The first one is Sonic Youth : nothing really wrong with it but zero originality. Everything they do I can point to an older band that did it before and did it better. Nice frontwoman though. Nevertheless : -1

[Michael]

And ? Who cares about sales ? Sales people and shareholders I suppose. Fuck'em. You're not going to claim that that Spears woman is qualitatively better than Hendrix because she sells more, do you?
Not at all. My point there is to note that the only available pseudo-objective metric available is non-functional for that purpose - Spears being an illustration of that point. ;)

I will however generally assert that sales levels of any given artist is a generally decent measure of general 'popularity'.

[Michael]

Also given Greendruid's confusion, I doubt you either are actually talking about Björk or don't know the full extent of her work. On the album Vespertine she has written and composed some of the most intimistic, almost minimalistic music I know off.
Example from Vespertine: Cocoon (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-RSfP7kdvw)
Yikes! :eek:
(I made it for a full minute)

That's her. I'm not confused. That music just 'creeps me out'. I'm not saying she isn't talented, I'm saying I don't like it at all and want to run from the room to escape.

Though, I admit I might be confused about Greendruid being the person I know who was a big fan and played it often. :ummm:

Now, if you were talking about this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osq0rJdt0Yc) woman, I'd understand. But I like that one too :D
Oh I do like Nina! And I particularly enjoy the sweet gutteral sound of German lyrics! ;)

Sonic Youth did a lot of things in regards to odd tuning and basically taking guitars apart and manipulating them to create new sounds. I like a lot of their noisier songs.

Good old Nina Hagen :thumbsup: Brings back good memories :)

I can't believe Michael ditched Björk, either. The girl's a genius.

I like her as well. If I didn't listen to music that was odd in some way it would severely limit my collection. :)

Michael has oddly eclectic tastes in most things and makes no apologies for being entirely subjective on the matter of music. :D

Sonic Youth did a lot of things in regards to odd tuning and basically taking guitars apart and manipulating them to create new sounds. I like a lot of their noisier songs.

ZZ Tops -2 and Pearl Jam -1 for lack of impact.

.. oh, and Michael Jackson +3 :)

[Dominick]

Michael has oddly eclectic tastes in most things and makes no apologies for being entirely subjective on the matter of music. :D
I looked up 'eclectic' and to my surprise it didn't mean 'bad' :p So Nina is OK while Björk isn't ? Okay, your appointement with the ear doctor is next Thursday 2.15 pm. :D

[Dominick]

I hate metal. Iron Maiden and Motorhead are today's targets.
That I understand better. Though I'm sure even metal could surprise you. There are even metalheads that have difficulty believing that this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5ht976rNNQ) is the Judas Priest.

Motorhead is not really metal. They're closer to the Sex Pistols and the Ramones than they are to say Maiden. And Lemmy is the coolest guy on the planet.

[Dominick]

.. oh, and Michael Jackson +3 :)
:D
The Jacksons Five were actually in the original list. I should have left them in because I already find it hard to decide on the negatives.

[Michael]

Okay, your appointement with the ear doctor is next Thursday 2.15 pm. :D
I guess you wouldn't be surprised to know that I'm half-deaf in one ear and thus don't really hear things in stereo. I have a hard time with directional hearing.

-1 and -2 to cheesy Monster Ballad bands (for those of you not in the US, "Monster Ballads" is an infomercial-esque CD that's constantly advertised and features songs like "Cum on, Feel the Noise" and "Motorin'"

+1 to the Dead because they're not exclusively jam band stuff, giving you upbeat road trip music like "Truckin'", "Friend of the Devil", "Ripple", and "Mexicali Blues".

+2 to the Allman Brothers just because I really enjoy their music and they put on a great concert the one time I got to see them.

[SMadsen]

:D
The Jacksons Five were actually in the original list. I should have left them in because I already find it hard to decide on the negatives.
Negatives? You're kidding. Making hit after hit using only variations over 3 chords is no small feat.

+2 for AIC, for creating and then perfecting the creepy/melodic grunge sound, surprising use of 3-part harmony, and finding one of the most original vocalists in existence. Uh....used to be in existence.
Don't do drugs, kids.

+1 for CCR for consistently making me want to do a jig whenever I hear them.

-1 for that derylict and his crappy band giving metal a bad name

-2 to that marsupial-looking king of cheesy anthems because I just can't ignore his presence on the list this time

-2 to BJ. Let's just get rid of them.
-1 to Elvis for what he became rather than what he was.

+2 for Blondie and +1 for the Pretenders. Not the best bands in the world but they were still great and their frontwomen were examples for dozens of bands to come.


-1 for that derylict and his crappy band giving metal a bad name

Ouch. Aieee. Oumph. That really hurts :crying:
There was a pre-MTV Ozzy too, you know.

PS No one has to retain the breaks. It was just to have a look where we are at.

Ok, I'll go along with BJ as the negatives become harder to come up with. I'll even throw in a -1 for the Boss because I can't really tell the difference between Bon Jovi and a young Springsteen (yes, I'm sorry).

Black Sabbath +1 to restore Ozzy as the great artist he was long before the crappy reality stuff. And +2 to Marley.

+2 for Queen because they did the entire soundtrack of the movie Flash Gordon
+1 for the Beach Boys because I heard a couple of their songs on the radio today and they were both so good.
-1 for Bon Jovi because I'm just piling on.
-2 for U2 because I still can't stand them.

The Doors should not be in the middle of the pack but eithr all the way up or all the way down. For me, up : +2
Same for Iggy : +1
-1 to Van Halen because although they were the first hardrock band I ever knew, most of their music is crap.
-2 to The Police for their name :D

Hmm. VH is twice in the list :ummm:. I'll see to that.

-2 to Journey because I really can't stand them. -1 to Tina Turner because I think she doesn't belong in the discussion the way some of the other bands here do (and I don't like her).

+2 to the Velvet Underground for innovation and influence, and +1 to Bob Dylan for some of the same.

My game here is generally to try to see the list whittled in rough order of who I think deserves to be in the conversation, obviously. But, I'm more inclined in the early going to try to boot bands from the list than revive or give props, which I'll only do if I think that someone much better is going to be eliminated before someone much worse.

+2 to Led Zeppelin for producing six of the best albums ever and having four members that all contribute to the band in amazing ways.

+1 for The Velvet Underground for their experimentation that was years ahead of it's time.

-2 to Queen because I can't imagine the band that has produced the songs bicycle and we will rock you as being on top.

-1 to AC/DC for the same reasons as before.

+1 to the Clash because they are pretty awesome.
-1 to Guns'n'Roses for shrieky, annoying trashy music (though I like some of their stuff)
-2 To Coldplay for being way overrated and really really fucking irritating.

Damn, I hit edit instead of quote :mad:
Sorry, pom. Your points are still taken into account though.

Oddly enough I don't mind your picks at all other than The Sex Pistols. Don't get me wrong I do like them but The Misfits are more my cup of tea. :)

Pink Floyd +2 because I treasure creativity and loveliness above all things. Ironically, I don't feel very creative voting for Pink Floyd, but I also enjoy justice.

Rush +1 for Witch hunt

Steely Dan -1 for the lyric "I cried when I wrote this song"

Beach Boys -1 because, seriously....

+2 Led Zeppelin - They are the gods of rock. Zeppelin is like sex--plain vanilla of albums is good, but spontaneous live performances is even better.

+1 Tool - I don't love everything about Tool, but I love them enough to give them a bump.

-1 Judas Priest - Just never cared for 'em.

-2 Van Halen - One word: Jump.

And did I miss Eddie and the Cruisers?

Steely Dan -1 for the lyric "I cried when I wrote this song"

Beach Boys -1 because, seriously....

Sure most of what the Beach Boys are famous for sucks but Pet Sounds is classic.

[bug]

Can we replace Black Eyed Peas with Pantera? Wait...can we also do that in real life? Everytime someone plays that song about junk in the trunk on the jukebox, Cowboys From Hell comes blasting out....

Yes, you can :)

Everybody may replace one band with a band of his/her choice. Just don't replace a band somebody else put in. Otherwise anything goes. :music:

I totally wasn't serious. But in taking me seriously, you have made me oh so very happy.

[Evangeline]

Bump :angel:


Yes, you can :)

Everybody may replace one band with a band of his/her choice. Just don't replace a band somebody else put in. Otherwise anything goes. :music:

Ugh, how am I going to know which bands others put in without reading the WHOLE thread?

[Evangeline]

OK edit, I see that this was a new rule. But it might be one you should rethink. Later on, other new posters might not be able to negotiate around that one.

+1 for the Grateful Dead because it's the best fun I've had in my life and I'm going to see them tomorrow night. The Dead, of course, sans Grateful.
-1 Buena Vista Social Club - who the hell is that?
-2 Guns 'N Roses - Axl is a loser

[Evangeline]

That's a good point.

Or maybe the person who takes one out, like Bon Jovi got taken out (good job people!) that person can add another one.

[Evangeline]

Although, if the objective is to remove until there's one left, that wouldn't work either.

Dominick's game here... we'll let him decide. :D

[Dominick]

Bleh, don't want a gazillion rules. I'm the poor bastard that has got to follow them up after all. :)
Just check whether the band you want to replace is in the OP. If it is, it's cool.

It's actually not really a band, or at least it was a temporary one. It was a conglomerate of Cuban artists that worked together with Ry Cooder. Some of these blokes were in their nineties :)
This (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aY95AB8MBXk)is their best known song.

I'm so glad you guys have dumped Bon Jovi and are in the process of dumping U2. I so agree. :) So I'll help.

-2 U2 - I like their politics, but their songs are BLAH!
-1 Abba - I have to take Abba down a notch. They don't deserve to be with the rest of the 21s.
+2 Grateful Dead (The Dead) They TORE IT UP last night. I danced my ass off.
+ 1 Pearl Jam - another oustanding band, great live.

I vote mainly on the quality of the live performance. Of course I haven't see all of these live, but my + votes are for live shows. My - votes are mostly for studio albums of bands I've not seen live and would have no interest in doing so.

So what's the deal with adding another? I'd like to add System of a Down and Motorhead.

You can replace anyone except Pantera.

[Evangeline]

You can replace anyone except Pantera.


Anyone lower than 20 points right?

OK, and only one for each turn?

And this game isn't only one turn per 24 hours like the Presidents game is it?

[Dominick]

Anyone lower than 20 points right?
No, anyone.


OK, and only one for each turn?
Only once at all.


And this game isn't only one turn per 24 hours like the Presidents game is it?
Yes, it is. :)

[Evangeline]

OK thanks Dominick, I'll use my turn to put in SOAD. Because THIS

Is just about the best thing I've ever seen. And the Iraqi kid on the bike smiling and happy, right before shock and awe makes me cry everytime for the people of Iraq.

Bye Bye Rush - sorry, they suck.

Adding System of a Down at 20 points.

(I hope this is OK to include with my one turn in 24 hours, since I had clarify the rules first)

[Evangeline]

I love this game, did I mention that?

Is it permissible to say that SOAD sounds like a disease ? :angel: The name that is, not necessarily the music (haven't listened to it yet and never heard the name).

Rush gone.... :crying:

It's permissible. Did you watch the video?

Sorry about Rush. I just can't stand them. LOL!!

[Dominick]

Not yet, it's 2:30 am and the neighbours already "love" me. :D


Sorry about Rush. I just can't stand them. LOL!!
It wouldn't be because some of their lyrics are based on Ayn Rand's writings, would it ? :lol:

What do you have your computer hooked up to some awesome speakers!?!? I WISH I did.

Are they???? I never paid attention to their lyrics because I could never stand their sound.

Oh yeah, the kind that has an '11' on the volume knob.

Yes, 2112, their conceptual 20 minutes song on the album with the same name is credited to her. But even while despising Ayn Rand, I still consider that an extremely good song.

[Evangeline]

Well then that just totally justifies my opinion of them!!!! LOL!

Take it to 11!!

[Michael]

I've heard him describe his computer setup previously. I'd believe him!!!

Also LOTR and Greek mythology inspirations.

They are of course a Toronto band. Gotta love "Train to Bangkok" - LOVE the lyrics to that one!

Neil Peart is arguably the greatest drummer that has ever lived. However, Lifeson and Lee are not quite in that class for their skills. I find that the band is either loved or hated and it is often on the merits of their technical abilities. I find that a musician is more likely than a non-musician to love Rush because of their technical execution of music and the complexity of the layers they build into their music. The lyrics themselves are good as well. What you get as an end product is flawless execution of some technically elaborate songs, especially for just three guys to pull off.

I'll object to Michael's claim of absorbing Rush as a Toronto band on the basis that they don't practice or record there, two of three members aren't even from there. As far as I'm aware, none of them live there. The fact that they cut their teeth in many a Toronto night club and bar doesn't come close to their tours outside of even the most liberal interpretation of Toronto. However, with T.O. being the centre of the universe in many a Torontonian's mind, we all know you really can't help yourself :D Rush, to set the record straight, is a Canadian band who now lives in the US.

[Evangeline]

Again, sorry about that guys. I guess it's just the style of music I don't like. Heavy metal ballad style doesn't work for me. I don't like the combo.It should be one or the other. But I am sorry, this is just my opinion and music preferences isn't something one person can be right and another wrong, about. It's all a matter of opinion. I feel bad, for taking out Rush now.

I haven't been playing the game - just observing. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I can completely understand this perspective. My wife hates them too - just out of curiosity, are you a musician or non-musician?

Non-musician, who works for musicians. I'm a watercolor artist on the side.

I think my employers probably like Rush. I'll ask them.

You ain't no Toronto boy!

And Rush is definitely a Toronto band. As far as I know, the band all lives in the Toronto 905 belt (which is where they all come from). I believe Lee & Lifeson went to school with Mike Myers in north Scarborough. Rush 'grew up' playing high school dances in Toronto (I just missed them by one year at my high school) before they even got to the nightclubs and bars in Toronto and then played New Year's Eve concerts in Toronto every year through the 1980s and 1990s. Rush used to sell out these New Years Eve concerts in a matter of a couple of minutes.

Rush is and always has been HUGE in Toronto. I've also met the band and have a signed autograph album cover from them.

I like Rush but I hate Geddy Lee's vocals on the early albums. What are the odds of one of the best drummers, one of the best bass players, and a excellent guitar player meeting and forming a band. I've always thought that about Led Zeppelin also. It seems like a group of cherry picked musicians of the best at a certain point of time.

I agree ... Lee's vocals can be very grating, but the talent level is impressive. I like their 'classic-progressive-rock' stuff of the late 1970s, but not the newer stuff or the early stuff.

I believe the original band was Lee/Lifeson with some other drummer from their neighborhood. Peart comes from Southern Ontario and he joined the band later to replace the drummer.

That is a fascinating phenomenon actually. There's quite a few bands that would fit that bill. Blackmore, Lord and Paice are all original members of Purple. Ditto with Ozzy, Iommi and Butler for Sabbath. Ozzy and Iommi were even classmates.

Iommi did sort of create early heavy metal style guitar playing but I don't see Ozzy as being much other than just a singer. I can't stand his voice and really don't like anything he was involved with after Sabbath. I think he would have disappeared from the music industry all together had he not been lucky enough to win the heart of Sharon who's dad was in the music industry and had good smarts on her own. He has always relied on having good musicians play on his solo albums and when it comes to Ozzfest many of the bands are picked by Sharon and his son. He pretty much just shows up and sings the old songs he's been singing for years.

He wrote most of the songs, he did. Together with Iommi it is true. And those lyrics are just wow. Also, his first few albums of his solo career were great (Blizzard of Oz and especially Diary of a Madman). But yes, without Sharon he would have been dead or in the gutter.
I think I'm lucky I never saw that MTV stuff, or at least very little of it. Ozzy was the icon of a generation until then. Now people think of that when remembering him.

No, Ozzie has always been seen as a bit of a drug-addled idiot all along. The MTV show just made that view mainstream and turned him into the butt of jokes. At least, on this side of the pond, Ozzie has never had much respect. Sabbath yes, Ozzie no.

However, I think Gene Simmonds (KISS) has achieved the opposite effect doing the same MTV thing - he comes across as a hell of a lot more interesting, decent, intelligent fellow than anyone would ever give him credit for before.

What I want to know is if Ozzie has always been a really bad communicator or if it has more to do with all the drugs he took over the years. Even before his show I watched a documentary about his career back in the 90s and they had to use subtitles because he was mumbling the whole time it seemed.

[bug]

If it means anything, I've never seen the Osborne's show. My problem is that I find it to be boring, vanilla music. I think if I took Iron Man with it's "back in the day" context, I can summon up some grudging respect. But I don't like Black Sabbath being revered as metal gods. I think the problem I have with a lot of bands is my feeling that they are overrrated, rather than that they are terrible. And I'm not sure that's really fair of me.

[Dominick]

OK thanks Dominick, I'll use my turn to put in SOAD. Because THIS

Is just about the best thing I've ever seen. And the Iraqi kid on the bike smiling and happy, right before shock and awe makes me cry everytime for the people of Iraq.

Iron Man and Warpigs (my fav) were 'rock anthems' long before 'metal' came along many years later. Sabbath is iconic because of this.

Personally, I loathe metal music as its just 'noise' to me. But Sabbath is in a class by themselves.

-2 Bjork - I don't know why she's so high up, so I 'fixed' it ;)
-1 ELO - I never liked them either.

+2 Neil Young - because he tears it up, live, with Crazy Horse. One of the best shows I've ever seen was a secret Neil with CH show at the Warfield. He rocked the place out.
+1 Nirvana - I never did get to see them live, but Smells Like Teen Spirit is one of the best albums ever IMHO. And even though this contradicts my strategy, I just love Nirvana.

Ok, I called it musical artist because it's not limited to bands or rock.:lol:

There's a hundred of them so to get things moving a bit I suggest you can make a +2, +1, -1, -2 each day. You can thus affect four Musical Artists (TM) each post.

Have fun !

Led Zeppelin +2 - "What Is and What Should Never Be" Enough said.
Pink Floyd +1 - "We're just two lost souls, living in a fishbowl, year after year."

Johnny Cash -1 - I love him, but he is no rock go. And all the votes he gets come from only one person, proving he isn't as good as this number represents. ;)
Van Halen -2 - Well, they just suck. Whenever I hear the name, I think of Diamond Dave squawking into the background reverb. Makes me want to kill Asian orphans in the face.

[Dominick]

Hmmmm. I don't know about this list, though...I'd have another list (not that I don't subscribe to many here)
Yes, the list is completely arbitrary. Feel free to start another one when this one finishes :angel:

:lol: I knew it was just a matter of time before there'd be some Cash backlash. I wanted to see how long I could get away with it.

-1 Johnny Cash - Sorry Johnny, you're cool, but not 27 cool.
-2 AC/DC - It's a long way to the top is the only song I like.

+1 The Beastie Boys - The In Sounds From Way Out - seriously - if you haven't heard this album - please do.
+2 Nirvana - music that gets you fired up.

[aaronssongs]

Ok, I called it musical artist because it's not limited to bands or rock.:lol:

There's a hundred of them so to get things moving a bit I suggest you can make a +2, +1, -1, -2 each day. You can thus affect four Musical Artists (TM) each post.

Have fun !



PS Feel free to just note the Musical Artists (TM) you want to affect. I'll update the master list if necessary.

PPS Imagine a festival with this bill :eek:

I'm just wondering about this list. How was it chosen? What was the criteria.

I think we were looking at universally successful artists. It was intended to be the most popular "artists," but the list was bastardized with the likes of Van Halen and Bon Jovi.

I wouldn't mind starting over with several threads, seperating artists by genres. We could limit each category to, say, 15 choices to speed up the process. What do you folks say?

[Evangeline]

I think we should leave this list as is and Aaronsongs should start another thread/list with his choices (many of whom I've never heard of actually).

Time to start addressing the blob in the middle....

Nick Cave and Derick Dominos down for being so obscure I've never heard of them.

The King gets +2 for being the King. Talking Heads gets +1 for David Byrne.

[drgoodtrips]

Derek and the Dominos = Eric Clapton.

[Michael]

Derek and the Dominos = Eric Clapton.
Oh yeah? Imagine that!

Doesn't matter. They still deserve a hit for obscurity. And I'm not much of a fan of Clapton. As a member of Cream, he was truly great. Since then, not so much.

I feel so strongly toward Metallica that I can't just let them sit there anymore. SO...

+2 for Metallica for everthing pre-Black Album....mmm....Blackened...Orion...I swoon
+1 for Pantera 'cause I brought them in and now they're just sitting there all bored. Also, for Five Minutes Alone and Drag the Waters.

-2 for Metallica, Black Album and on, for being an abomination, and for setting a bar high and not bowing out when they couldn't meet their own standards. I also give them -2 because futility is beautiful.
-1 to Journey for Wheel in the Sky Keeps on Turning (turning and playing in my head on repeat, a level of torture seldom felt by mortals)

I know who Nick Cave is. He is someone who becomes sub-par by trying to be outrageous. Not impressive...but not Journey or the horrific show that is Enter Sandman, so no points off for him

+2 for Queen. everything but their Hot Space album was premium platinum. The day Freddy Mercury died was the day that rock and roll died for me.
+1 for the Beatles. Their music is timeless and relevant 45 years later. I always wanted a Beatle haircut. By the time I was able to let my hair grow out, I discovered it was curly. I looked more like Micky Dolenz than George Harrison.

-2 for Steely Dan. God, I just hate their music. All of it. Worth getting up and walking across the room to turn the radio off kind of hatred. Worth walking out of a restaurant for five minutes when they come on the Musak kind of hatred. Give me a baby crying. Anything. Just not these guys.
-1 for Bjork. Well, drop the "j" and you have what I think about this marginally talented, semi-attractive Icelander. The standard blond hair and blue eyes just didn't cut with you, eh?
