You know, I quit looking at lists because of the AVClub and their fucking retarded "16 Movies We Can Hardly Relate to Each Other" shit. Take your "Fastest Guitarist" list for example....in reality, you have probably only heard 10 to 15 of the real Fastest, so why even fuck with a list? So they can name drop people who don't belong on the list and sell more ads to their labels. Lists are silly.

I don't think they are a good way of judging things that are so subjective but I find them entertaining to read anyway.

Granted. The only way I like a list is when it is listing things I'm not familiar with but interested in. For instance, the last list on AVClub I liked was a list of intrumentals by famous bands. I got a lot of good songs on a couple burned CDs now because of it.

The only thing I ever try out that I see on AVClub is when I see a really good music review and like the song they post. Other than that I read about things I'm familiar with. I loved their article on Superman IV the other day. They are at their best when they talk about something that is awful.

I go through phases of which songs I prefer. Right now, I'm on a "In My Time of Dying" and "What Is and What Should Never Be" kick with some "Trampled Under Foot" thrown in for good measure. :D

I listen to their songs until I crave another group of their songs. When I go through them all, I watch "How the West Was Won" and get excited all over again. As I've said, Zeppelin is like sex: It's always good, but mixing it up adds some excitement.

I have three favorite Led Zeppelin songs and a hard time choosing among them. Kashmir is one, with Going to California and Tangerine (with an obscure instrumental called Black Mountainside ranking close behind)

Interestingly, I really like their sound and the hard rocks stuff in general. I think it's more coincidence than anything that my favorites are more acoustic-y songs.

There was a time when I could play pretty much any Zeppelin song on guitar and do a good job of it (sigh). I think I can still get through Stairway, Tangerine, and Over the Hills and Far Away, but the rest of them have slipped through the cracks and would require some practice.

Don't worry about that. Do you see me posting anything in this thread? :D

Music doesn't interest me at all and I'm hard pressed to imagine any playlist that sounds "smart". ;)

Indeed, music is entirely emotional in its effects and thus anti-intellectual to begin with (it seeks to convey a message using emotive response, not reasoned thought). Without the emotional investment, all music comes across as just a jumble of sounds that are either pleasant sounding or not (and that is always entirely subjective).

I agree and that is why I absolutely love music. Sometimes it doesn't have to make sense and to me that is part of the beauty. (We, as humans don't always make sense either!) But there is always some song or artist to fit the mood I am in, or to take me on a trip down memory lane. :)

And if I hear just one more idiot on the radio opining about how "we all remember exactly what we were doing that day when we heard the news" I'm going to choke.

I'm getting sick of this formula repeated by rote. It is pure bullshit. I haven't a clue where I was or what I was doing on 9/11 when I first heard that news. I also have no clue where I was when I heard that John Lennon was shot. I also have no clue where I was when Marc Lepine shot 27 women at some university in Montreal either (some ten or fifteen years ago).

But I've been told at least a dozen times in the last three weeks that "everyone" remembers where they were when these events occured. I say bullshit - I don't even remember the dates these events occured (or what year it was). 9/11 I remember was 2001, but I'm betting that this factoid will also become quite fuzzy in a few years.

I remember being woken up on 9/11. I was sleeping in before class. I'm too young for most of those events but I also remember finding out Dessert Storm started while at a Harlem Globetrotters game. For me it's memorable because of the sudden surprise and worry that came with it. But yeah it is talked about way too much. It's significant to me personally but I really don't care about what other people where doing when they found out.

[Michael]

I guess the point that gets me here is that a tragic event that might be EXTREMELY significant to you isn't all that significant to me.

It annoys me the way so many people just assume that what is significant to themselves is just as significant to everyone.

I say bullshit - I don't even remember the dates these events occured (or what year it was). 9/11 I remember was 2001, but I'm betting that this factoid will also become quite fuzzy in a few years.

We started bombing Iraq in March 2003, right? My dad was driving me home from rehearsal and I was screaming expletives at the radio.

But for the most part I don't know when shit happened.

If I could mute the lyric track, I'd really like the sound of the music itself. But that lyric track just annoys the heck out of me so much that I just can't listen to it (I only made it about halfway through before I just had to hit cancel).

I suppose I could say that about a whole lot of contemporary music. :shrug:

You must have followed Robert Plant's career. ;)

You must have followed Robert Plant's career. ;)

actually I completely forgot about him - although there was that album he released with Jimmi Page - the one with Hangman on it ... I think the video for one of the songs was filmed in Morocco - looks like it anyway ...

Then about 6 or 7 years ago I picked up an Afro Celt Sound System CD and Robert Plant was a guest on that ... I know he's been to the Festival au Desert (near Timbuktu) a couple of times at least ...

But I listen to just about anything now. almost.

I use last.fm a lot, which plays songs related to a genre or band of your choice. Plant, Page and Jones all have solo stuff that cycles through the Led Zeppelin channel on that. Jones is pretty and nice, but Plant always had a sort of trippy globe-trotter feel to it. Slow and laid back and nothing at all like Zeppelin.

And I'm jealous they were your first concert. Mine was Vince Gill when I was 12 or so. :mad: I only made up for it about seven years ago when I saw The Legendary Shack Shakers live.

I met people who had been to Woodstock - and was GREEN with envy.

Most of the other bands I saw when I was young were English bands (and Australian) .... except for Carlos Santana, Creedence Clearwater Revival (they were my second concert) and a Canadian band called Guess Who....oh - and Suzi Quatro. Among the british Bands I saw were Deep Purple - but probably most was stuff you've never heard of.

Afro Celt are not laid back or slow - a lot of drums, uillean pipes, and up tempo rhythms. dance to some of their stuff and its a full body workout. I can't remember the Plant song though - that might be a bit slower ...

I used to have all Zeppelin's albums - I was the first kid on the block to get the Hermit (the one with Stairway to Heaven) and also Houses of the Holies ... but after that I think I started listening to other stuff.

Among the british Bands I saw were Deep Purple - but probably most was stuff you've never heard of.You'd be surprised. I'm a big fan of older stuff, particularly good British blues. I love the blues they based their style on, but they give that extra "dirty" feel that just resonates in me. Deep Purple is a very underrated band and I'm jealous of that show too!



I used to have all Zeppelin's albums - I was the first kid on the block to get the Hermit (the one with Stairway to Heaven) and also Houses of the Holies ... but after that I think I started listening to other stuff.
Their first four albums were simply I through IV with IV being the "Hermit" you're talking about. I think their best stuff are those first five albums (I-IV and Houses of the Holy), but I still love a lot of their later work.

I also have a belief about Zeppelin that most fans agree on: Zeppelin is like sex in that it's great when listening to the plain ol' vanilla album tracks, but the variety and intimacy of a live performance makes it so much more intense.

LOL - there were a few others ... but its over thirty years ago - I remember being disappointed in the Stones ... loved Status Quo, the Kinks, and there were a couple whose names I can't remember - I saw ACDC in a local pub before they made it big.... its after Midnight here ... I will have to rack my brains and think about this! later there was the Pretenders.

I think for me the first five are what I think of as Zeppelin - you are right - it was I - IV - but for some reason when it first came out people did refer to that album as "the hermit" I remember that, don't know why or even where that came from.

I also have a belief about Zeppelin that most fans agree on: Zeppelin is like sex in that it's great when listening to the plain ol' vanilla album tracks, but the variety and intimacy of a live performance makes it so much more intense.

I'm never sure whether the reason that Zeppelin was my best concert was because it was my first - or because it really was my best!

I'm not casting any doubts on your experience but in 1969 I was living in San Francisco and personally met 4,316,508 people who were at Woodstock, some with long hair. It's been estimated that if everyone who claimed to be at Woodstock was there it could exceed the total US population in that year.

I had to take a run into town earlier and from the Interstate the Wal-Mart Superstore parking lot looked packed with cruisers filling up all the aisles looking for spots. Every tweaker in the county has to be there taking advantage of the crowds to do their holiday shoplifting.

Sometimes, when I'm in a holiday crowd, I clutch my purse and/or wallet tightly and imagine the indignation I'd feel if someone tried to nick it. Then I imagine the indignation of the thief a few hours later when he or she realized that they've stolen nothing more than a sack of fast food receipts.

I live in the sticks and the Wal-Mart serves a rural crowd. Once a week the local paper's police activity report carries a 'woman loses purse to thief' report. The most common method is women moving grocery market shopping from the cart into their vehicle with their purse still in the cart fold-out where the kid used to sit. Sadly, the naive victims probably consider themselves informed voters rather than political prey.

All I remember about the Monkees is they were the result of a bet between two producers, one who said he could take a group of unknown musicians and turn them into a hit television series.

I view it as a large portion of the general public having a voracious appetite with fool-proof digestive system for virtually anything specifically labeled entertainment. With entities vying for their audience to service them.

The producer who won that bet had to experience immense professional satisfaction in his knowledge of audience demographics that maintains his Bel Air mansion and Beverly Hills lifestyle.

trends in popular culture can be very interesting.

i am often curious about how it all works. what is determined as worthy (to watch, listen to, wear) is subject to what exactly?

I was watching someting last night on music and the brain, and clearly what we are used to, what we listen to when we are young can shape our musical tastes to a great extent, but there are other factors as well. I think a lot of what is popular is determined by what other people thinkis cool - so in some contexts, saying - I don't like that - is akin to saying - the emporer is wearing no clothes.

obviously - how cool you are perceived to be will determine whether your musical opinion is valued by your peers or not.

but why are some things popular in the first place?

[Michael]

obviously - how cool you are perceived to be will determine whether your musical opinion is valued by your peers or not.
With teens it is apparently the other way around (though they never admit as such). That is to say, how cool you are perceived to be is determined by whether or not you subscribe to the 'approved' music of your peers.

Indeed, teens have a bizarre habit of expressing their independence by trying to be identical to their peer group. :lol:

but why are some things popular in the first place?

but the pecking order can manifest differently - i guess. rather than bullying others into following the line, a person who is regarded as a trendsetter is seen as having particularly admirable qualities that others try to emulate - and they will be followed, regardless of whether their taste is trash or otherwise ...

and I guess how popular they are determines how much, and how quickly the trend will spread.

Romanian eh? I kept expecting the Indian-style group-dance sequence to break out! :lol:

(I'm serious - this music really sounds like it comes from India)

Us and Them (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlY-JlE5ZCo)- Pink Floyd
Oddly enough, that's one of my least favorite Floyd tunes (and there aren't very many of those!).

At the very least, I shall protest at the plebian mediocrity of the song title itself, which is nowhere near good enough for a band that has such brilliant song titles as: "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict". :lol:

here's the Wiki link to explain the song: Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Several_Species_of_Small_Furry_Animals_Gathered_To gether_in_a_Cave_and_Grooving_with_a_Pict)

That was a bit much for me to handle, but I made it through the whole thing. I will agree with those that said they are happy they weren't tripping balls while listening to that.

(I did rewind the track a few times to catch the avant-garde phrase ;))

Yes, Ummaguma is a bit 'out there', but that recording is brilliant. Those are all human voices.

Anyway, when it comes to Floyd, I'm a huge fan of the album "Wish You Were Here" most of all. The Wall is good as is Animals and Dark Side too.

You are one of the young'uns. :D

I've heard The Wall so many times I now cringe and change the station if it comes on.

[Zarquon]

I can't bear listening to "contemplative" music/"progressive rock" like that in the Dark Side of the Moon; give me a beat, meaningful lyrics, and a reasonable length, not your 'creative" project. In this regard, my approach to music is completely different from my approach to movies, as I only listen to music if I have nothing better to do and for relaxation.

[evanescence]

:lol: Well, I'm 27.

I like almost any genre.

Oh my goodness, you're so fucking old ;) I'm guessing you were my current age (23-24) when that album came out?

[evanescence]

Yeah. Right before I got married. I spent that entire summer smoking weed and getting laid. Best summer EVER! :lol:

[Michael]

:lol: Well, I'm 27.
Exactly. A young'un. ;)

Oh my goodness, you're so fucking old ;) I'm guessing you were my current age (23-24) when that album came out?

An even younger young'un! :lol:

Btw, I think Zarquon is The Official Forum Kid.

(anything under 30 is 'young' in my books)

Hardly. Most of my social circle is either over 55 or in the 25-32 group.

Oddly enough, that is the same for me. I have very few friends. Their ages are 34, and 60 and older. I don't like people my age for the most part.

Anthems For a Seventeen Year Old Girl (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xl3PyTqsc5c) by Broken Social Scene. It's exactly what Zarquon wouldn't like, I think. It's very much about the mood--but that's what I aim for in my music.

It's strange, I first heard this song when I was 16-going-on-seventeen. Now it makes me feel strangely old (which is just funny).

I can honestly say that 90% of the music I listened to as teenager, I mostly hate now.

I'm eclectic. And I love the music I listened to as a kid.

Lothlorien ~ Enya
I understand lots of people like this kind of music, but I can't handle it - her voice seems to grate on me for some reason. I can't handle Bjork either. Both cause me to run screaming from the room covering my ears! (I have the same reaction to rap music as well) :lol:

:rofl: I've never heard anyone describe her music as something that causes them to run screaming from the room. To each his own. .

Bjork causes me to vomit and then babble incoherently in exotic tongues for hours. I think that's what the Pentecostals listen to during Sunday school.

Out of curiosity, why in the fuck do you listen to it?

[The Drunk Guy]

:lol: Well how about Enya?I just go into the teenage-like malaise that I experienced when watching mediocre '90's television. A pure vegatative state, almost zen-like in nature. Keep in mind, this is no compliment. I hate zen.

To impress my Pentecostal brother. :rofl: (Not really. I avoid Bjork like I avoid my brother's church.)

I like listening to Enya or Enigma, for example, and smoking weed. :)

For me, Pink Floyd always goes best with weed. :)

I also have a weakspot for Techno, particularly the Germanic variety. I do find that repetative beat to be rather soothing and relaxing. The absence of lyrics/singing is also a plus. :D

I like him, especially in the Damn Yankees.
