Title: What Are You Listening To?

A bit straight foward, but every board has one.

Anyway, "Baby Doll' by Chuck Berry is what I'm spinning now. What's not to love about the man?

Lately I've been listening to mostly heavy metal (which I'm addicted to) and Disney villains songs.

Right now I'm listening to Abigail by King Diamond.

Yeah, I guess. Most people call it dadrock or old people music when I mention that I'd rather listen to stuff like Steely Dan and The Doors than most shit from today.

Now I'm playing that one song by that one band that became like the biggest hit ever. Like, Stairway to Teen Spirit or something.
Title: Re: What Are You Listening To?
Post by: Commode on January 11, 2011, 05:35:37 PM
When I think of "old people music" I usually think of showtunes from the 30's or something.  I grew up with Zeppelin and Aerosmith and Lynyrd Skynyrd and all that shit thanks to my dad(didn't really jump into "modern" music until the mid-90's, with Green Day and The Offspring being my first real tastes of it), and despite the fact I think it's bad to generalize it so, I usually just refer to it as classic rock.

Besides, how can people blame you for listening to Steely Dan over 3OH!3 or whatever other shit is all over the radio these days?  I don't see how people can listen to more than two or three consecutive songs really.  I love listening to the "oldies" stations;  listening to America or Chicago or even Carly Simon is something I'd rather do than hear another awful Katy Perry song.
Title: Re: What Are You Listening To?
Post by: Avaitor on January 11, 2011, 05:52:50 PM
People are just ignorant like that. I'll give anything a chance, but I do dislike most crunkcore and modern pop that I've heard, while a lot of people here act like the music industry didn't exist before Thriller.

It's not even like I hate all modern music. I'll name artists from the past few years that I like left and right, even more popular stuff like Eminem or Demi. If something's good, it's good. But if I use the radio, more often than not, I'll leave it on a classics station.

Title: Re: What Are You Listening To?
Post by: Commode on January 11, 2011, 06:08:17 PM
There is some pop music that is alright or even good.  I know I've mentioned before that I like much of Rihanna's music.  Lady Gaga, even though I don't particularly like her, has some pretty good pop songs.  But it's the generic shit, the auto-tune, the soft-ass rap, the boyband revival shit, all the Usher soundalikes that really kill me.  I can listen to some really bad pop music from past years, like Frankie Goes to Hollywood or Wham!, but none of it is less-inspiring than the pop music of today.  Sometimes it comes off like the people singing the songs don't even like what they are singing, like they are well aware that they are there strictly to make Warner Bros. or Sony BMG money, and they aren't having fun with it at all.  Hell, even "Karma Chameleon" made the band sound like they were having a good time making it.
Title: Re: What Are You Listening To?
Post by: Avaitor on January 11, 2011, 06:10:54 PM
I have heard about some classic rock stations playing RHCP and Pearl Jam now, so Nirvana shouldn't be too far behind.

The main classic rock station here is weird, though. They pretty much stopped playing all 60's music, stuff from Zeppelin's first two albums aside, and mostly play bands like Van Halen, Aerosmith, and Rush. They also recently just added Black Crowes and Illusion-era GNR, so I don't know if we'll get older alternative on there any time soon.

There's a couple of other stations on here, but they're mostly top 40 from the 60's, 70', and earllllly 80's (except for one that plays Michelle Branch for some reason), and one that plays anything from the 80's to today, so I don't know what's up with all of them.
Title: Re: What Are You Listening To?
Post by: Commode on January 11, 2011, 06:22:30 PM
Back home we only have one true classic rock station(but half a dozen country stations.  Go figure), The Eagle, and they are pretty good at covering the bases.  Yeah, they played a lot of Zep or Kiss or Def Leppard, but they'd also sneak in some CCR or Allman Brothers.  They completely stray away from anything made past the 80's though, spare stuff like "Living on the Edge" or "Mary Jane's Last Dance". The other former classic rock station used to focus on the heavier classic rock, and played more hairmetal than their competitor.  Unfortunately, people in Boise didn't much like that anymore, so the station got flipped, and it's almost like a Bob/Jack FM of rock, where they will play Van Halen one moment and The Pretenders the next.

This one right here though (http://www.khits.fm/), this was the one I was talking about.  SUPER HITS OF THE SIXTIES AND SEVENTIES!  107.1 K-HITS!  Bring on the Supertramp or the Elton John.
Title: Re: What Are You Listening To?
Post by: Spark Of Spirit on January 11, 2011, 06:32:55 PM
Once again the 50s gets left out. If only there was a station that would play everything without clear bias for a certain artist or era.

We used to have a classic rock station, but literally every time I turned it on, it was the Beach Boys. I like the Beach Boys, but they were not the only classic rock act to ever form.
Title: Re: What Are You Listening To?
Post by: Commode on January 11, 2011, 06:34:57 PM
Yeah, the 50s are kinda scarce now.  We had another oldies station that played 50s music up until about five years ago, but it's now one of those half a dozen country stations I mentioned.
Title: Re: What Are You Listening To?
Post by: Avaitor on January 11, 2011, 06:40:38 PM
No 50's here either.

Occasionally, VERY occasionally, the classics station that also plays Michelle Branch will put "Mystery Train" on, but that's it.

Damn shame, too, since I'd love to hear some good old rock n' roll here again.
Title: Re: What Are You Listening To?
Post by: Commode on January 11, 2011, 06:44:08 PM
What classic station plays Michelle Branch?  That's fucking ridiculous.  Yeah, Boise had a station that played that, it's called Mix 106, but it's played alongside Madonna and Sixpence None The Richer, not The Beatles or some shit.
Title: Re: What Are You Listening To?
Post by: Spark Of Spirit on January 11, 2011, 06:49:28 PM
I can't stomach alternative station, either. It's always some lame and bland Nickleback clone and generic modern rock. They don't play real alternative, just music with distortion.

But yeah, radio sucks. I don't see that changing any time soon.  :lol:
Title: Re: What Are You Listening To?
Post by: Avaitor on January 11, 2011, 06:50:09 PM
I don't even know. It mostly plays stuff like Roy Orbison, CCR and ABBA, but occasionally they'll pull that shit on.

The other one I mentioned is more trendy than classic/current, I guess. They can go from Journey one second to Lady Gaga to 90's Green Day to Madonna to Black Eye Peas in the course of a half hour. That's just weird imo.

Here's a playlist for the local modern rock station in Boise.  Is any of that music on the list any good?  You tell me, because I ain't gonna bother looking at it, I know that at least 98% of it is shit, if not the whole thing.

Yep, gotta love modern rock.

I've given up long ago and radio and the North American music industry. I just go where I think I'll find something I like and go off similar styles until I find something I might enjoy.

I do like just about anything, but for some reason the industry just has horrible taste in deciding what is worth marketing or not.

That's why SSPU is supporting Muse, instead of it being the other way around. And why it's not so easy to find great new stuff on the radio anymore.

Anyway, I'm listening to two Jews do poetic folk rock about girls and shit. I forget their names, though.

Have you ever heard Tripping Daisy? Before their guitarist died and they split off to do the Polyphonic Spree (whole other style of music and all), they were an excellent alternative rock band.

Their best album (Jesus Hits Like The Atom Bomb) came out the same year Limp Bizkit hit it big and the record company refused to advertise it because it wasn't angry enough.

I defy you to listen to Field Day Jitters and tell me any other song released in 1998 (especially on the radio) is anywhere near as good as that song.

Religion and sex are powerplays
Manipulate the people for the money they pay
Selling skin, selling God
The numbers look the same on their credit cards
Politicians say no to drugs
While we pay for wars in South America

Fighting fire with empty words
While the banks get fat
And the poor stay poor
And the rich get rich
And the cops get paid
To look away
As the one percent rules America


Fucking love this album.

Alone in your electric chair
I told you dirty jokes until you smiled
You were lonely for a man
I said take me as I am
'Cause you might enjoy some madness for a while

Now think of all the years you tried to
Find someone to satisfy you
I might be as crazy as you say
If I'm crazy then it's true
That it's all because of you
And you wouldn't want me any other way


I love Billy Joel.

VERY disappointed with the new G. Love album. None of the tracks on it are bad... but it's not really the kind of music I like to listen to, either. Where's the funk? Where's the rock? Where's the hip-hop-lite? It's all acoustic blues stuff and dare I say some of it even sounds like country. Hardly a miss on any of his other albums, but this is one I just can't see myself buying.

Again, none of the songs on it are bad, but it's far from what I expected and what I, personally, enjoy.
Title: Re: What Are You Listening To?
Post by: Avaitor on February 23, 2011, 07:28:05 PM
That's lame, but artists need to experiment with their style every once in a while or otherwise they'll get flat. I'm not familiar with G. Love, so I don't know how far off this is for him, but if this album doesn't work, then he should look over his stuff and see what does and doesn't the next time he hits the studio.

Anyway, Atomic Rooster- "Decline and Fall"

They just played this song on one of my local digital subchannels, which plays music videos exclusively. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPuXvpkOLmM)  Apparently they have some 80s at 8 o clock thing, I dunno.  I love the 80s though, they were so terrible, and this song/video is proof of that.

Awesome. The 80's was camp, but fun camp. I'd take the pop music from then over the pop music of today anyday.

Now it's time for some Ramones. "Teenage Lobotomy" it is.

You guys like stuff like Cheap Trick, how about this one?  I love this song, but it took me quite a while to identify what it was.  I first heard it in the movie Detroit Rock City, where it plays for a brief few seconds among other songs that are much easier to ID, like "Frankenstein", "The Boys Are Back in Town", and "Radar Love".

I'm a Van Roth guy by heart, but I've always liked this one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMV-fenGP1g). One of the few times their more sedative sound from this era really worked to a good song, and the video is classic.

I recently read a bit of Sammy's autobiography while skimming Rolling Stone, where he starts talking about his time with the band. Although Eddie pre-rehab sounds like a mess, I've been feeling like giving 5150 another chance sometime soon.

Not sure if I'll ever get around to finishing it now or not; obviously, it won't be as detailed as Avaitor's talkbacks (he's a lot better at these than I am), but still, I'm kinda proud of what I've written so far.

The Replacements- "Kiss Me on the Bus"

Love that little surfer rock solo near the end. Really out of place, but awesome nonetheless. This album is really good with showing off the band's influence. Easily on my top 20 albums.

It's a hard album for me to listen to because it's just so depressing. Especially when you hear the Tim version of Can't Hardly Wait that was cut for some reason.

Post by: Avaitor on July 20, 2011, 07:54:00 PM
Oh yeah. I can't decide which version I like more, the demo or the PTMM version. Both work differently, but very well.

As for my overall favorite album, I will admit that I do slide between Tim and Let It Be a lot.

Listening to new Opeth now, and took a break so I could play this song, since I've been feeling this Heep track in particular while listening. I'll do some more pauses for Rainbow and Deep Purple later on as well.

As for Opeth, I'll talk about this album in another thread when I'm done.

Terrible. I love Lou Reed, but his style doesn't mix with Metallica (and I already hate them...)

They Might Be Giants - Celebration

I could do without the vocoder in this song... but meh, I love any song that calls out Anonymous. Also, Marty Beller fucking rocks the drums.
Title: Re: What Are You Listening To?
Post by: Avaitor on September 26, 2011, 01:27:43 PM
You see, I think the actual concept for the album is pretty interesting. And who knows, maybe if Lou chose a metal band that's actually talented to back him up, like, say, High on Fire, it would sound a lot better. But the two do not mesh at all, and Metallica blow chunks.

And instead of listening to a song, I'm watching Todd's new review. (http://blip.tv/todds-pop-song-reviews/if-i-die-young-a-pop-song-review-by-toddintheshadows-5587633) My sister has had this in constant play on her iPod since it hit the country charts, but I never really thought one way or the other about it. Decent enough review so far.

Speaking of Metallica; believe it or not, I actually heard "St. Anger" on the radio today. And I laughed, and I laughed, and I laughed.

...anyway, right now I'm currently spinning this beautiful piece of music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCJXvrM0PG8), perfectly fitting for late-night ambiance. I've already declared my love for this song in the VG music thread, so I'll keep my gushing in line here... but man, it's just great. Best track in the game, IMO.

EDIT: Here's a Modern Rock one for comparison.  Love all the college rock at the beginning of it, then by the time Nirvana's In Utero tracks appear it starts going downhill.

Was doing a play through of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, but I put it on pause and listened to VH's new single "Tattoo".  It's alright I guess, Dave's voice doesn't have the impact it once had, but it has been like 28 years since 1984, so I guess it's understandable.  Probably going to need a few more plays before I can really judge it.

In the meantime though back to the Pumpkins.

The song's getting some airplay on the radio here.  I think my biggest problem with it is that it's just a stupid song.  He's singing about tattoos for shit's sake.  Musically, the song isn't bad, but lyrically it isn't good.

Pronounced is brilliant, but Second Helping is almost as awesome. Every song on each is just so great, and while I give the edge to Pronounced, I think Second Helping has the better closer.

I wouldn't call Freebird overrated or anything but on a casual listening basis it just isn't as punchy as Call Me The Breeze.

New York Dolls - Lookin' For A Kiss

"If there's one reason I'm telling you this,
I feel bad, bad bad...
I'm lookin' for a kiss."
*cue awesome riff*

Every time I hear this song it seems like there's a lot more to the lyrics than we are lead to believe. the imagery, the narrator's reactions, how the song is the only one in their catalog dead centered on the lyrics... it seems like a reminder that there is more to life than excess and that the narrator even knows this but mistakes what he's really looking for. If you really read his words and the way he wrote them. Of course this could be over-analyzation of lyrics, but its their only song like this (focused more on the lyrics and energy than anything else in the music) even the first spoken line he specifically says "Luv" and not "Love"... Call me crazy, but that's just how it comes off to me.

I don't know when "Pleased To Meet Me" went from being one of their best albums to being on the same level as "Don't Tell A Soul", but haters are crazy. This album is almost on par with "Tim" and "Let It Be".

Other than the theme to Big Bang Theory (ugh), I'm not too familiar with much of anything they've made after 2004. They have some catchy older stuff, but are more reserved to nostalgic listening for me now.

Oh, I know. I like Another Postcard, but Everything To Everyone was kind of a letdown album.

The last thing they did with Page was a two album set called "Barenaked Ladies Are Me/Barenaked Ladies Are Men" one slower and the other more focused on rock. It has their best material since Maroon on it, but after that there stuff just doesn't sit right with me.

QuoteJapanese, Chinese, it's all the same
I can't tell Corey Feldman from Corey Haim
I'm dying in the dark
Come illuminate me in love
Come illuminate me in love

We can throw your man
in the trunk of my car
Throw his body down the river
keep his head in a jar
You're burning me up
Girl you come to immolate me tonight
you come to immolate me

I had fire in my hands
and now it's in the hands of some other man
I'm doing fine, don't worry about me
I've got 47 channels on my tv

Spacehog - Cruel To Be Kind

I found the album for $0.01 on Amazon and grabbed it. It's actually a bit hard to swallow that this came out in 1995 and was actually a hit album. Sure, In The Meantime is brilliant and one of the best singles of the decade, but the lyrics in general are just so much more positive and uplifting than any of the stuff coming out around that time. The rest of the album doesn't quite reach the brilliance of that song, but it's all really good stuff and was more than worth the price. I really dig the sound, like if Marc Bolan started an alt rock band in the early 90s.

Still there is a part of me that wishes the rest of the album was on par with that song, even if the rest of it is still great stuff.

Title: Re: What Are You Listening To?
Post by: Spark Of Spirit on April 05, 2012, 01:52:47 PM
Maybe I sound more down on it then I meant, I actually really like it as a whole. Just that In The Meantime is clearly the best track on it.

I'm kind of surprised the album even came out, seeing as it wasn't a mopey sleeping pill like most mainstream rock at the time. In fact, it's pretty upbeat.

Yeah, Spacehog is pretty cool. Had no idea you guys actually liked them; thought I was the only here that did.

If you get a chance, pick up their final two albums if you can (aka the ones that nobody payed any attention to). The Hogyssey in particular is pretty good, IMO. I don't know how these flew under the radar as much as they did (guess this isn't the style of music people wanted in the late 90's), but they're both worth a listen anyway.

I really like the first half of the album better than the second It starts to drag by the halfway point for the most part. Though the lyrics to Space Is The Place are kind of... out of place with everything else on the album.

I know it wasn't on an album, I said that a song like it would have been out of place on the last album since it's totally out of sync with everything on it. Same with that Spacehog song. The only difference is that Space Is The Place was not only on the album, but it was a single.

QuoteThat song is an atrocity by the way.  Most of their material from the Take off Your Pants and Jacket era is.  Easily the worst blink album.
I'm not a big fan of their joke songs, never was. I was disappointed they didn't just rerecord old songs like Toast & Bananas and give them a better production instead. But then again, they were pretty disappointing at that time.

Really liking the new album, this track in particular, which has a bit of a Type O vibe. It's more melodic and virtuous than some of their other work, so I might recommend it to beginners.

Metallica- "Eye of the Beholder"

You know how we were talking about album length earlier? Well, sticking to that, I think that Metallica are especially guilty of going over the line for length, especially on this album, where everything is just long as fuck for no reason. Even outside of AJFA, I think you can name all of the songs they have that are under 5 minutes in length on one hand, if that.

Really? Death metal is one of the more vibrant scenes out there IMO. True, there are a lot of obnoxious Gorguts knock-offs, but I find a good fluctuation of technical and "classic" death acts all the time. Not as much as doom, mind you, but still more than thrash at least, which at this point consists of primarily Amebix wannabes.

Anyway, randomly playing Rumours, cause why not, and "Dreams" is on. I can't believe considering how huge this band and album was, this was their only chart-topper. It's such a beautiful song though.

I hate mindless screaming for entire songs. It robs all emotion from music. At least "butt rock" attempts to be enjoyable. I'd rather listen to Cheap Trick at the Budokan than some guy screaming about how life is pain while the same boring double bass plays in my ear for 4+ minutes.

I'll grant you that my favorite kind of death metal growls are the kind where you can actually hear the lyrics, like Schuldiner's, and one of my least favorite tropes today is how many bands have undetectable vocals. It's really become a problem in the past 15 or so years.

Which is why I'll always recommend Death and Cynic for death metal recs. Death for the reasons I listed above, and also their progressive growth from a horror-themed death metal act to one that used actual horrors for lyrical content to quasi-prog metal. And Cynic has a combination between equally accessible growling and audible singing, although they've become increasingly less heavy since Focus.

Boxcar Racer - "I Feel So"

Heard this for the first time in years the other day. So apparently, this is Blink-182 in essentially everything but name only (with a couple of other different guys thrown in; I forget who all was involved, exactly). I don't know how I didn't pick up on that as a kid, but eh, whatevs. It's okay.
Title: Re: What Are You Listening To?

Yeah, they were just a side project of blink, which featured Tom Delonge and Travis Barker(although Mark Hoppus did guest vocal on one song; so did Tim Armstrong of Op Ivy/Rancid/Transplants fame[and Billie Joe's cousin]).  Tom formed it as a contradiction to the pop-punkiness/jokeyness of blink(who were at the time riding off of the Take off Your Pants and Jacket album), because he wanted to do a more hardcore/serious project, and it was only meant to be a one-album fling.  Travis joined in because he was branching out at the time, also being in the aforementioned Transplants at the same time.

It's an alright album, but my favorite blink-182 side project is +44.  Anything is better than the awfulness of Angels and Airwaves though, ugh.

/blink-182 nerdiness history lesson.

Starting up Clockwork Angels. "Caravan" has a sick riff so far. The bass is killer too.

Edit: Overall, the album's okay. About as good as Snakes & Arrows. In fact, it reminds me of it a lot- both have very strong opening tracks/singles, while the rest of the album falters out after it.

I'm about halfway through. On Seven Cities Of Gold now. I'd say it's about on the same levels as Snakes And Arrows. Some okay songs, but nothing that really interests me. The bass is really good, but everything else sounds kind of... distant? I don't know.

EDIT: The beginning of The Wreckers sounds eerily like "Working At Perfekt" from Geddy's solo album. o.O

Here's the playlist:

"My Name Is" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNPnbI1arSE) (not the first single from the album, but whatever; this was his first hit and the first song that got people to notice Slim, so I'm counting it)
"The Real Slim shady" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGk2qmDmvT8)
"Without Me" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVkUvmDQ3HY)

Really? I thought it had a good balance of being anti-racist without being obnoxious about it like most pop music would be.

Maybe that's why I like Dangerous, since I don't think his views overshadow the music like they did on the stuff after it, or get as boring as Invincible. My only problem with it is the album is way too overlong.

Well I don't see how "Like a Prayer" is really preachy at all. It's just about a really good blow job.

"Black or White" has a decent message that gets knocked into my head one too many times. I'll admit that it's nowhere as bad as "Man in the Mirror" or "They Don't Really Care About Us", but it's not a favorite.

Iron Maiden- "Fear of the Dark" taken from Live at Donnington

I think I know the reason why this sounds so much better live today than it does in the original recording, which is also why this doesn't sound as great here- the song REALLY needs the push with the third guitar. Bringing Adrian back to play alongside Dave and Janick makes it sound a lot more epic and bigger than it does with just the two of them. Not to mention that Bruce's raspier voice from that era isn't a great compliment, and Dave used to do his solo a lot faster. It sounds so much better now, especially when you hear it up close, like I got to last year.

No Doubt - Settle Down

... This sounds like Gwen's solo stuff again.

I'm still confused as to why their material without a keyboard player has boatloads more synth than the stuff with him. It's called a piano, guys- Slower songs sound way better with it instead of synth.

All in all, why did this take so long to come out? It sounds exactly like Rocksteady.

But wow, this is NOT a good sign no matter what.

Jesus, this sounds more like Rihanna than No Doubt or even solo Gwen. How the fuck did they do that.
There's an album preview for Push & Shove out there... It's pretty much more of this. :/

I wasn't expecting an album as strange as the self-titled, as alternative as Beacon Street, or as great as Tragic Kingdom... But I was hoping for at least a fun pop rock album like Return Of Saturn (only without the ton of filler) again. Rocksteady was one of the few times I've ever called a band a sell out, and it's a shame that they've continued down this path.

Can we just have a good old fashion pop rock song on the pop charts for once?

Seriously, listen to "Settle Down" again and put this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0CGsw6h60k) on. Can you tell the difference?

There's no identity to this song. It isn't as offensive as "Hey Baby", but it's even more boring, which is just sad.

The thing is, No Doubt already had a good pop sound before that terrible song. Spiderwebs, Open The Gate, Trapped In A Box, Bathwater, and even Underneath It All (one of the few Rocksteady songs I enjoy) are all really good songs that have way more character than this stuff.

Now they sound like everything else out there.  :bleh:

If they made an album that sounded like this, I would be ecstatic (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXF8XQLZm70)

The original version doesn't even sound that good.

Speaking of No Doubt, I always wondered why they cut off the end of Spiderwebs on the album? The last minute really makes the song, IMO.

Pretty much.

They supposedly got their producer from the 2-5th albums back and are trying to recreate their sound from those albums. The tours where they did Toys in the Attic and Rocks all the way through was supposed to be a teaser for that. But I dunno, it's hard to trust Steven Tyler ever since he relapsed.

I would hope they could.

Ever since Cheap Trick came out with Rockford, though, I've been pretty optimistic with bands being able to connect with their roots while still sounding their age. Fantastic stuff (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeXqkssnYrU&feature=related).

It's totally doable, as long as they put their heart and soul into it.
Title: Re: What Are You Listening To?
Post by: Avaitor on July 16, 2012, 09:25:43 PM
Yeah, Van Halen and The Cars did it well too. So did The Beach Boys, from what I heard of he new album (I didn't play it all, since I wanted to wait for when I buy it).

It's not impossible.

Edit: Oh, and Maiden too. But that's kinda obvious that they're still pulling it out well.

Oh yeah, forgot about those! (Also forgot about the BB album supposedly being the best one since the 80s comeback one) So yeah, it's doable.

So I guess I can only hope that if there are any ballads, they'll hopefully be kept to a minimum.
Title: Re: What Are You Listening To?
Post by: Avaitor on July 16, 2012, 09:43:34 PM
I wouldn't even mind more ballads so much if the band wasn't in their 60's and too old to try to make us feel bad about crappy relationships or whatever they used to write them about. It's one thing to still write rockers, it's another to pretend like you're still partying and angst-ridden as you were at your peak. Because that simply isn't the case anymore.

And you know what comeback album I'd like to hear? I wouldn't mind it if Jefferson Airplane, not Starship or whatever, come back and do one more album. I'm not expecting something on the level of Surrealistic Pillow, but I'd like to hear Grace Slick's voice just one more time.

Post by: Spark Of Spirit on July 16, 2012, 09:51:26 PM
Yeah, hedonistic stuff makes sense when you're a teenager on in your twenties, but it gets kind of old after decades of the stuff. It's pretty much why the Stones couldn't make a good album post-Some Girls.

But writing about how fun it is to rock? Never gets old. It's why classic '50s rockers are still great fun today.

Oh, so we talked about new No Doubt, but have you heard -url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kf6jNeCQv2k]new Matchbox 20[/url]?

So. Fucking. Blah. It has the same problem as "Settle Down", too- no identity. If Rob Thomas's vocals weren't so recognizable, it could easily be a Maroon 5 or dubstep-era Green Day track.

Can't believe I missed this post, but... yeah. This. Right here.

I know Starship is still plugging away in some form or another (don't even know who's still left at this point), but that's just... ehhhhh. And even going beyond the really obvious bad stuff (WE BUILT THIS CITYYYYY ON ROOOOOOOOOOCK AND ROOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLL), that whole era of the band is just so forgettable to me. I mean, they've got some okay stuff I guess; "Find Your Way Back" is decent, but otherwise... it's just all so meh.

I'd love to see new Airplane though. Grace, Paul, Jorma, Marty... let's get them all back together again. Their last "comeback" album was back in 1989, so we're due.

Heh, funny you should mention them; I see they're actually going to be out this way for a free concert at the end of the month (part of the entertainment package for the rib cook-off they have here every year). I haven't been to an actual concert since Gin Blossoms did the same thing two years ago, so this should be interesting, provided I can make it down there that is.

...and as far as their second album is concerned, I actually liked that one as well (and it wasn't a total flop; it was certified Platinum in the States, and did sell over a million copies). It was their third album when the wheels really started to come off.

Judas Priest- "Victim of Changes"

Tied with "Painkiller" for their best song IMO. And they both happen to be opening tracks. Even though the original studio version kinda sucks...

Actually, I may have to write a thread on all of my problems with Priest as a whole. Because I have a LOT of them.

Pantera- "Walk"

This is the first time I've listened to Vulgar in years. I still like Power Metal (quite underrated, IMO) and Cowboys, but something happened between Cowboys and this album. The band became increasingly stupid in a search to sound heavier.

And it really shows in songs like this. Even when I was a bigger fan of Pantera, I detested this song. It's lowest common denominator heavy, with no effort put into the music other than to sound "raw", but is still one of their biggest songs. It's their "Seek and Destroy", basically.

And the next song is even dumber. Fucking hostile my ass.

Green Day - "Kill The DJ".

I... am actually excited for the first of three new records from the guys.  At first I wasn't too excited, and the song "Oh Love" is still pretty boring, but from everything I've read Uno! is supposed to be more in the line of Dookie rather than their recent stuff(and apparently Dos! is similar to Foxboro Hot Tubs).  This song gives a pretty strong Clash vibe, and it's really the most I've been interested in the band since "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" and "Holiday" were released as singles.

Witchcraft- "An Alternative to Freedom"

This new album has a pretty mixed reception. A lot of people seem to think that they're selling out by cutting back on the retro metal sound they've stuck to, while others think it's a step in the right direction. I'm liking it so far. It's still sludgy and reasonably catchy, which are totally good things for this type of music, and it does have a nice modern-ish sound.

I'm not crazy on the vocals though. They remind me of Rise Against. I still think this is a step in the right direction, however.

Every November since '09. Which makes this her 7th.

I'm a little disappointed that Talk That Talk went the way it did. That she trailed it off with 2 lousy, promotion-less (and video-less) singles. "Remixed" (aka: extended, with rap verses added- one of them by... none other than the guy who beat the shit out of her in spring 2009). Instead of releasing her interesting songs as singles ("Watch 'n Learn" and "Drunk on Love"), she released... "Cockiness" and "Birthday Cake." The 2 worst songs on the album. And a crappy Jay-Z double-teamer, "Talk That Talk," also with no promotion and no video (it should've been with Kanye!). She could have drummed up interest for the (admittedly terrible) album by releasing the 5 decent songs as singles rather than 3 + 3, 3 of the best and 3 of the worst.

While on a presidential thing, never forget who had it first.  :humhumhum: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=l7iVsdRbhnc#!

Joking aside, I've been listening to some Opeth. Fell in love with them in 2008, got sick of them in 2010, couldn't get into the last album at all. But now I'm having one of those moments where I see a band in my music folder that I haven't listened to in a while, and I just feel like something different. I think I'm overlistening to the stuff I'm into currently, and just want to step back a bit. If that makes sense.

It's funny, too, because I hate growling vocals and both Damnation and Heritage are clean vocals only. You'd think that'd be heaven for me, but I don't really like either. Heritage isn't terrible, I like the opening title track, The Devil's Orchard, Folklore... but a lot of it just seems to be the band constantly switching between heavy parts and folksy noodling over and over. I know I'm in the minority though. Most people I know who like Opeth love it.

(Ultimate irony being that Deliverance is my favorite album by them, and it's one of the heaviest and most growly they've done.)

Despite me not being as big a fan as I used to be, Akerfeldt is still fucking hilarious live.

Demi Lovato- "Shut Up and Love Me"

Recently, two songs that were supposed to be on HWGA leaked, this and the original version of "For the Love of a Daughter". These have both been common knowledge among fans for a while, and listening to them now... eh. The version of FTLOAD on Unbroken sounds so much more raw and stripped down, while this one has a misleading title.

She dropped Daughter because of how dark it is, but SUALM must have been pulled for being so forgettable.

I hope you're not talking about the horror film (bad movie).

It seemed like a parody, when the guy dressed as a giant Turkey showed up. But... it's a serious dumb song? Ugh. Seems like a LONG time to wait after "Friday" to try cashing in on it.

By the way, the video has several points of unintentional hilarity: she actually frowns at a kid bringing cranberry sauce and she interrupts their prayer to start rapping... that's why the other kids had looks of "this is awkward" on their faces. Also, there's no corn... but there's macaroni & cheese. And that fucking turkey is eating ALL THE RIBS that kid brought.

Not really, since I said all her songs sounded the same to me, which naturally means all of her singles(the songs that get radio airplay) because I've never bothered to listen to a full album nor do I care too.  If what you say is true and she has had 33 singles in the past, what, seven or eight years, then that tells me that a majority of her songs do sound the same or at the very least similar, because aside from "Umbrella" I maybe could only name two or three other songs that stood out at all, the rest just kind of blend together.  Kind of like songs by Nickleback or Linkin Park.

Three is kind of the perfect amount. That should be enough to last you at least a year of promotion for the album and eventual tour.

If the album does well enough that it's still big on the charts after a few singles, than it should be fine to go beyond, but otherwise I think three is ideal.

You're right on that, but it's important to remember that Wanna Be Startin' Something, P.Y.T., and The Girl Is Mine were radio-only while Billie Jean, Beat It, Human Nature, and Thriller all had videos.

Also take into account that some songs are released as singles overseas and not here and vice-versa sometimes. It's really a label issue and how much they think they can make off of the album.

Bjork had 6 singles with Post. Do I think it's self-indulgent? No. Because, #1, music videos. It's an artistry all its' own and what would it be like now if, oh, Madonna hadn't released 5 singles with True Blue or Michael at least 5 with Thriller? The videos should be good enough to consider promotion for buying the album alone but they by themselves necessitate the single's physical place in the market for people who don't want to buy the album. (Not to mention I'm a huge music video fan, while I don't care as much for any point that would also argue that we should have less of them.) #2, this is history. And, crap like Teenage Dream notwithstanding, a great album deserves historical representation with a large number of singles since awards pretty much mean squat now (if they ever meant anything before).

Pop albums are usually pretty scattered. Except for Madonna or Bjork (and maybe Cyndi Lauper), very few artists have ever cared about thematic cohesion and making a strong album. And I know there are quite a few album-people on AR. However, I don't get this "oh, it's just someone like Rihanna whose songs all sound the same." Her songs all sound the same in about as far as literally over 90% of the music artists who have ever received radio play and charted more than 2 singles sound the same. In the ears of people who don't listen or don't care to. I don't expect someone to go to me if they want a report on the nuances of someone like Bob Dylan, the kind of artist I don't listen carefully to. Some people try to take your attitude, that it's the artist and not the listener. It's almost always the listener. Because if a person thinks they have the ear for everything and can fairly judge what artist really defies this rule, they're flattering themselves.

Oh, and...
Was the point of your first reply: "Why would you be listening to Rihanna?" As in: "I wouldn't because I think all her songs sound the same"?

Hmmm...

But, does a song even need to be a single to have a music video? Electric Six has quite a few songs with videos that aren't considered singles.

I'm not going to argue that a great album shouldn't have a lot of exposure, but I still think an entire EP's worth of singles from one record is overkill. Though I am a bit of a crotchety old man on this subject, since most of my favorite artists aren't even able to make their songs into singles unless you take that as meaning "free downloads from their website".

Speaking of all that Green Day talk in the other thread, I saw this at Best Buy yesterday and picked it up. Seemed like a steal at $40. Also picked up a copy of Uno! with the collector's box and a copy of Dos!.

(https://animationrevelation.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fstatic.nme.com%2Fimages%2Fgallery%2FGreenDayTheStudioAlbums19902009_600Gb020812.jpg&hash=770234e4e286ab1df0e7db1a832c475bb1d7829c)

Honestly, I wish more bands had things like this. Neat little box sets that contained a good chunk of their discography. Would certainly save me a shit ton of shelf space.

Is there any new content on any of the albums?  I have all of those, and have had them for years.  Is the song "I Want To Be Alone" included on 1039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours?  I have the original Lookout print of it(and Kerplunk), but I've heard the Reprise reissues omit that song for whatever reason, it's supposed to be the last song on the album.

Yep. I Want To Be Alone is the final track on my copy. Kerplunk also has bonus tracks from the Sweet Children EP.

As far as I can tell, no actual "new" material, it just fits in all the EP tracks and other ones that would have slipped through the cracks at the ends of the first two albums. Looking through Wikipedia, they all seem pretty complete as far as I can tell.

AMOLAD is pretty underrated among the post-reunion albums it seems. Many praise Brave New World for being the return to form, a lot like how Dance of Death is so different from their usual work, and the Final Frontier seems to have brought attention back to their newer stuff, but Life and Death is a raw collection of epics that all mostly work.

It also has some of Nicko's best drumming to add to its priase.

Queensryche- "Jet City Women"

Have you ever taken the time to just sit down and listen to their lyrics? They are such strong writers. I especially love this bit.

"I look in your eyes, just like the rain
Washing me, rain wash over me"

This is pretty much a love song throughout, like a lot of tracks from the album, but the guitar harmonies tends to hide that from less astute listeners. But what stands out to me is just how they describe her eyes. Obviously they're blue, but Geoff Tate is able to paint this imagery without directly saying that, and compare them to one of rock lyricism's greatest stereotypes- the rain. He does so in a tasteful and believable fashion, especially based off of Tate's performance, and he leads right into the next line, again using rain to describe the scenario, this time his own well-being at seeing his love go away. It's a basic comparison, but done really well in parallel companionship here, like a tag-team act.

Sorry if you found that annoying, but I'm having a Queensryche night. I really want to check them out with their new singer.

Working over my top XXX-many Best Singles of the 80's list, since expanding it to 300- which was harder than I thought. I didn't realize I'd be making so many cuts after I came up with my first 100 list; I have 2 separate lists, one for 1-100 and 101-200. Wound end editing ALL 200 of the previous, switching a lot, kicking 2 off the list (of 300, now) entirely (Living Colour - "Cult of Personality" and Duran Duran - "Planet Earth")... Lot of work. But... I think I'd stand by the list now.

Which I might be posting here pretty soon.

There's a 5-pack for $20 that has the albums from 2112 to Signals aside from Hemispheres that I've been eyeing. The fact that I already own Moving Pictures and it's missing Hemispheres for whatever reason is what's making me have second thoughts about picking it up.

There is a similar Tom Petty 5-pack with some of his 80's albums and Into the Great Wide Open, though. That one I'm definitely considering.

Seriously though, it might be a nice pick up, both of them. Not for me, but maybe for you, as I'm a massive stickler for having albums together by release date in sets like these. Was the only reason I bought the Green Day one. I do know that they were releasing box sets for the Rush albums the same way they did with Genesis back in 2007/2008, but those are probably much more expensive.

Tom Petty fucking rules. The Heartbreakers were a band I heard all the time when I grew up, so their music is almost ingrained into me. Guy makes music that you can always go to when you can't decide what to go to.  :lol:

Post by: Avaitor on December 22, 2012, 01:20:41 AM
Petty's music really seems eternal. While most other classic acts will receive derision or the raise of an eyebrow when mentioned in high regards over time, I don't think his stuff has ever been out of vogue in any way, about as much so as the Beatles.

They also had packs for Lynyrd Skynyrd, KISS, and Marvin Gaye. Rush and Petty are the most appealing to me since they're the only two that don't have any greatest hits compilations (seriously, I swear that Gaye's has 2 or 3 of them, as well as a live album. Only What's Going On is a legit LP). KISS is especially annoying since it has the first 4 albums and a greatest hits. If they replaced that with Alive!, I'd be more inclined to get it. I'm not even much of a fan anymore, but at least I'd have them for a good price.

Post by: Spark Of Spirit on December 22, 2012, 01:32:41 AM
My only issue with Skynyrd as that I only really think the first two are classics. The rest of their material is very song by song basis, and I don't think the songwriting ever reached the heights of songs like Simple Man or Tuesday's Gone again.

If they included the first two albums, a live album, and a best of (and maybe their last album), then I'd say it would be totally worth it.

Metallica- "...And Justice for All"

Whenever I come back to their music, the first thing that hits me is how bloated it is. There's no reason this had to be 9 minutes longs. The band could've easily kept their original intention if they cut a couple of segways out and reduced some repeat riffs.

But nope, that's not the Metallica way! Bigger is always better. Even when it's not.
Title: Re: What Are You Listening To?

Not a single track on Master of Puppets is under five minutes in length. Not one.

Bloated indeed.

Sorting through internet Top 100 lists of the 90's in preparation for (finally) doing my Top 100 Singles of the 90's. I had to actually look up a few. For example... never heard Weezer's "Say It Ain't So" before. And I've never listened to "Protect Ya Neck" all the way through. Or "Rosa Parks." And it's been a million years since I actually sat through "Sabotage."

What I've been going through the last hour (for research, I haven't decided what will make my list):

R.E.M. - "Losing My Religion"
Blackstreet - "No Diggity"
Coolio - "Gangsta's Paradise"
Matthew Sweet - "Girlfriend"
Julee Cruise - "Falling"
Bone Thugs n Harmony - "Tha Crossroads"
CJ Bolland - "Sugar is Sweeter"
LL Cool J - "Hey Lover"
Alice in Chains - "Would?"
Sinead O'Connor - "Nothing Compares 2 U"
Destiny's Child - "Bills, Bills, Bills"
Nine Inch Nails - "The Perfect Drug"
Robin S. - "Show Me Love"



EDIT (2:00 PM, the next day):
Just added up my preliminary "to choose from" playlist I've assembled of my favorite and (what I feel are) the better songs of the decade. The first "cutdown" list from which I will choose my top tracks... it totals 930. Something tells me choosing 300 out of this (to match my 80's singles list) will be a bitch.

Whittling down my 930 list to... 475. Or, I'm in the process of doing that. I have about 17 left to choose in the remaining bulk list of 166.

Hooverphonic - "Eden"
Smashing Pumpkins - "Zero"
Seal - "Don't Cry"

Soundgarden - "Spoonman"
Salt-N-Pepa - "Let's Talk About Sex"
Red Hot Chili Peppers - "Give It Away" and "Show Me Your Soul"

This is the first moment they popped in my head. I'm either going to have to add them to my Blind Spots list or spend 30 minutes doing research on 'em.

A quick speed-over to Wiki tells me they had... 10 singles in the 90's... I guess I could look 'em up.

(And, here's my Blind Spots list, as it stands now:

the Entire Country Genre, including Shania Twain
any of the solo former Beatles
Metallica
Pantera
Slayer
Megadeath
Rage Against the Machine
The Ramones
Guns N Roses
John Mellencamp
Bob Dylan
Violent Femmes
Neutral Milk Hotel
Belle and Sebastian
The Afghan Whigs
Cracker
Everlast
Phish
Butthole Surfers
Candlebox
Fastball
Cowboy Mouth
Slint
Black Eyed Peas
Mos Def
Mobb Deep
Nas
Ice Cube
Kid Rock
Skunk Anansie
Filter
Tonic
Eve 6
My Bloody Valentine
Devo / Mark Mothersbaugh
Morcheeba
Propellerheads
Dust Brothers
Aphex Twin
SWV
MC Hammer
Gerardo
Vanilla Ice
Slipknot
Limp Bizkit
Train
Bob Carlisle)


EDIT:
I've decided to extend the count to 500 to make room for Type O if I find anything I think is worthy. What spurred this decision? It's certainly not the obscene amount of Ace of Base on my list or anything like that. (Uh... I've got to go.)

Have room for one more song? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZLv2G0Hhn4) Easily my favorite of their 90's singles, but "Holy Smoke" is worth a listen, as well.

Actually, I'd also recommend checking out Bruce's solo singles from the decade. He put out a lot of good stuff.

I'll get the MP3 and put it in the mix. (I currently have room for 8.) (Oh, and Iron Maiden had a track on my original cutdown list for my top 300 singles of the 80's list - "Run for the Hills.")

Interesting thing about that video... one of their shooting locations is UNMISTAKABLY one of the locations in a scene from one of my Top 100 horror films.

The third film is the best in my opinion. Mainly because it doesn't fuck with the storyline of the first movie or try to continue it. And it's visually more pleasing and has an excellent extending city-in-chaos ending that is insanely fun. Kirsty only shows up for 1 minute on VHS footage the TV reporter digs up.

After that, things get pretty stupid very quickly. The 4th film is terrible but I wouldn't describe it as painful. The fifth film was a script for a completely different film that the Weinstein brothers had changed to include Pinhead in the last 30 minutes. Shockingly, it's not bad until the last 30 minutes. Then it's the 2nd worst movie in the franchise. The sixth film seems like it has the same exact problem - the story not being about Pinhead, so it feels like he doesn't fit. Kirsty comes back here and is given a wildly insane revenge plot for which she actually calls Pinhead intentionally and they make a completely closed-case deal. In that: there's no "but we want you to stay and play with us" ending, Pinhead takes her offering and she goes along her merry way. That part of the movie works the best. The seventh film is easily the worst. Every moment is indescribably awful. The eight film is standard run-of-the-mill bad. Only, it's noteworthy for trying to bring back the 90's teen style of horror films. I guess Cursed was more popular than I remember it being.

Finally have 1/5th of my final set list for the top 500, and gathered the cover art for all the singles #1-100. 400 left (and, Type O Negative will be in the total list twice). It is freaking insane how long ordering them around takes... and today I just re-ordered my already stoned 100. Of course, in doing that, I wound up kicking a few off and replacing them. Hell, I probably spent 40 minutes just deciding how high the highest Madonna should chart. It didn't take 1 minute to decide what #11 would be. And then... I actually went on an insane search for a single cover for my #31 that took me almost half an hour. I ended up literally melding 2 pics together (one was just the CD, the other was the same color and font as the cover and I detest single covers that are taken from the same photo shoot as the album cover: I'm looking at you, Jay-Z). I think the total count of singles for the artist who made my top 100 the most times is 6.

Right now, I'm headed off to negotiate the other lists... even though I really should eat something, my stomach is growling like a monster (but this is how obsessive I am about these things). Sheryl Crow is playing now.

Going through #101-200. Been at it since 9 am now but I'm getting pretty close. The middle takes the longest. Type O Negative's highest ranking song kept getting bumped higher until... it wound up in the top 100.

I haven't been wanting to say who I've been listening to as to keep some surprise of who made it and who didn't (because I'm thinking of debuting the finished list here, if there's any interest- though I admit I don't mind using this thread as a kind of Twitter for random updates) but... "Cannonball" is playing right now. It's no secret, that song is on everyone's list (with good reason, of course).

Playing around with my 90's playlist. Just for fun, getting some more songs. Things just jumping in my head. (This whole started really because I like to play 90's video games to songs from the decade.)

For example, playing right now is Brandy's "Top of the World." I haven't heard that song in over 14 years. Not a great song but it's always nice to hear a song again after it's been so long. And, it's not really bad by any measure. Incredibly routine. And, speaking of forgotten lite jams... now a replay of Monica's "Angel of Mine" is inevitable. But I'm not going after "Gone Til November." Never liked that one. Next on the list is Flipmode Squad - "Cha Cha Cha."

Update: Now I'm listening to Monica's Space Jam ballad, "For You I Will." I never knew she wanted to be Michael Jackson.

Demi Lovato- "Heart Attack"

This actually came out a week earlier than it was supposed to, but it's already #1 in at least 9 different countries right now, including the US. The opening is kinda weak, but the song picks up almost immediately after, even if I can't say that it's a favorite yet. The use of guitar is very welcome, and Demi's voice is as strong as ever.

We'll probably get the video on the 4th, which is when we were supposed to get the song itself. I'll post it when it comes out to get a reaction from you guys, if you care.

More 90's- I'm stuck... free me! Oh, no, wait: the decade was pretty damn fine musically. Though I seem to be currently surfing the novelty end of it.

Starting with a selection of Tales from the Crypt episode scores and the "Crypt Jam," which was so popular that... there was a sequel - also in my playlist - "Christmas Rap." Which, along with some dialogue from the lousy season 6 episode "The Pit," inspired an entire album of Christmas songs by The Cryptkeeper. I'm not kidding (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCT_Kq31Ug4).

Also, like an idiot, I played Ferngully's "Batty Rap" again after blasting it on UD. Ever listened to the lyrics? It's actually trying to be a commentary on animal testing.

Kinda doin' a really short down-the-decades music-thon. Just 3 or so songs per decade. Whatever occurs to me (for whatever reason, this was the 80's: "Greatest Love of All," "Doctor! Doctor!", and "Master and Servant").

And, by chance, I decided to re-listen to "Smells Like Teen Spirit" for the first time in well over a decade. I think it was like 1998 when I actually last heard the entire song, and... it really is awful, isn't it? Yet, I still think the band's other major singles were phenomenal. I really think this song was made "legendary" by the music video, which is great. But... so was "Heart Shaped Box," which was a lot more gut-wrenching a song.

My playlist isn't exactly on Shuffle but a lot of these songs I didn't know well in the 90's so, the order is very much like shuffle. I'm playing her contribution to the Batman Forever soundtrack, "Where Are You Now?" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVn6awWY1LU) and... it gets my seal of approval.

Still, I don't think Maiden's made a bad album. I still find plenty to like on every one. At worst, they're okay. And even then, not even No Prayer or Fear are my least favorite, believe it or not. They're both in my bottom 3 though.

I went on a splurge on Friday, and bought Rock In Rio, Flight 666 and En Vivo!, so I've been digging into those.

I actually really like The X Factor and Virtual XI (barring The Angel And The Gambler chorus x9000). Songs like Sign Of The Cross and The Educated Fool are fantastic. My least favorite is Powerslave. Which is apparently blasphemy to the hardcore IM fans, but I think that after the first two (great) tracks, the middle of the album drags, and I've never been able to get into Rime Of The Ancient Mariner. Not a bad record, but very bland compared to the other 80s stuff and the one I least go back to overall.

Man, I dunno, there are so few albums I can listen to from start to finish and not get sick of, no matter how many times I've heard it.

Even with Maiden, only Powerslave and the post-revival albums do that for me.
Title: Re: What Are You Listening To?
Post by: Nel_Annette on March 23, 2013, 10:02:32 PM
The only albums I can do that with Maiden are Brave New World and A Matter Of Life And Death. You're right though. Very few albums I can genuinely sit through all the way without it feeling like a chore.

Don't know what to tell you though, man. I've sat through every studio album and Powerslave just does the least for me. But like I said, it's not a bad album at all. Personally, my top 5 goes

5. Somewhere In Time
4. Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son
3. The Final Frontier
2. Brave New World
1. A Matter Of Life And Death

I feel like IM is one of the few bands from the 60s/70s/80s that has only gotten better the further on they get in their career.
Title: Re: What Are You Listening To?
Post by: Avaitor on March 23, 2013, 10:17:54 PM
I'm bored enough, so I'll make a list of IM songs that I tend to skip or get bored of per album:

Iron Maiden:

Sanctuary
Strange World
Iron Maiden (original studio recording- live is stronger)

Killers:

Prodigal Son

The Number of the Beast:

Invaders
Run to the Hills (mehhhhhhh)
Gangland
Total Eclipse

Piece of Mind:

Flight of Icarus
Still Life

... "Quest of Fire" is a guilty pleasure, sue me. :P

Powerslave:

Honestly, none. Well, "2 Minutes to Midnight" and "Losfer Words" aren't big favorites, but I do very much enjoy them.

Somewhere in Time:

Sea of Madness
Heaven Can Wait
Alexander the Great (my vote for their most overrated song)

Seventh Son of a Seventh Son:

Can I Play With Madness?
The Prophecy

No Prayer for the Dying:

Tailgunner
Fates Warning
The Assassin
Hooks in You
Bring Your Daughter... To the Slaughter

Fear of the Dark:

From Here to Eternity
Fear is the Key
Chains of Misery
The Apparition
Weekend Warrior

The X-Factor:

Lord of the Flies
Look for the Truth
Judgement of Heaven
The Unbeliever

Virtual XI:

The Angel and the Gambler
When Two Worlds Collide
Don't Look to the Eyes of a Stranger

Brave New World:

The Fallen Angel
The Nomad

Dance of Death:

Wildest Dreams
Gates of Tomorrow
New Frontier
Age of Innocence

A Matter of Life and Death:

The Pilgrim (if I want to be generous)

The Final Frontier:

The Talisman

There really aren't as many duds as I'd expect. If I tried this with someone else with a discography this big like AC/DC or even Bowie, I'd probably come out with a much longer list. And those last two albums are pretty close to perfect. Not bad.
Title: Re: What Are You Listening To?
Post by: Nel_Annette on March 23, 2013, 10:22:36 PM
If I did that with AC/DC, I'd have one hell of a long list.  :lol: I own every AC/DC album, and I can count on both hands how many songs I still regularly listen to by them.
Title: Re: What Are You Listening To?
Post by: Avaitor on March 23, 2013, 10:26:39 PM
I think they peaked with Let There Be Rock to Highway to Hell. Those three albums contain their highest amount of memorable songs and a lot of the band's best performances, way above their earlier stuff.

Back in Black still has some strong performances, but that's the last album I'd even consider playing all the way through.
Title: Re: What Are You Listening To?
Post by: Nel_Annette on March 23, 2013, 10:35:46 PM
Agreed. Overall, AC/DC repeated themselves way too much, but Back In Black had the most memorable tunes. Everything after that was just them trying to catch lightning twice, and failing.

Hmm. Well, Disturbed were one of the last of the nu metal acts to still be around with some amount of success, so I'm not too surprised that they took a step or two back.

I'm not calling them out yet, though. If Fall Out Boy can come back from their "indefinite hiatus" despite a long history of the band proving this to be highly unlikely, we haven't seen the rest of Draiman and group just yet.
Title: Re: What Are You Listening To?
Post by: Nel_Annette on March 24, 2013, 02:31:48 AM
I think he put them on hiatus because he didn't like what's going on in the industry right now and wants to take a "wait and see" approach.

At the very least, Draiman's got a side band keeping him busy right now. I haven't any interest in it, but they wouldn't shut up about it on their Facebook page a month or two back.

Title: Re: What Are You Listening To?
Post by: No-Personality on April 07, 2013, 02:27:53 PM
Back to the 90's, a-gin'. To go through some songs and artists I think need a 2nd look (from me).

After "Change" and "You Showed Me," I was pretty excited to get to know The Lightning Seeds better... yeah, they suck. I flipped through at least a dozen other singles and not one of them was great. Among them "All I Want," "Ready or Not," and "Marvellous" are the most tolerable.

After "Hand in Your Head" (which I highly recommend), I was also pretty intrigued about... who is Money Mark? Well, he's kinda dull. After "Hand," "Cry" is his best track. It's definitely decent. "Maybe I'm Dead" is awful and "Insects Are All Around Us" is just extremely lite-Avalanches and Handsome Boy Modeling School. Speaking of HBMS, I went diving for more of their singles and found a couple of great ones. Both are recommended: "Magnetizing" and "Rock 'N Roll (Could Never Hip Hop Like This)."

Except for what I've heard on Scrubs (the aughts) and Slacker (the 80's), I actually had no idea what Butthole Surfers really were. An MP3 search of "Pepper" tells me it was used in the OST for The Hangover. That one is okay. "Who Was in My Room Last Night" is equally almost-fun. Just decent. The one that really struck me was "Jingle of a Dog's Collar." Always have the urge to replay that and have listened to it at least 3 times in the last 24 hours.

Speaking of soundtracks, I nearly keeled over when I remembered that I lost my original MP3 of the theme from Run, Lola Run, "Wish (Komm Zu Mir)" by Franka Potente. Of course, hearing it again reveals it was never that great. Don't know why I held it in such high regard. Thomas D's rap is every bit as irritating as Pitbull is. In general.

Also relevant to soundtracks, since I don't know if it's on an original album and which that would be, I snagged a copy of Shonen Knife's cover of "Top of the World" from the OST of The Last Supper (1995, Cameron Diaz, Bill Paxton, Ron Perlman). Which plays during the end credits- a real shock to the system since it directly follows one of the most horrifying scenes I've ever seen in cinema history. But a great track on its' own.

Last soundtrack but the second I found this amazing MP3 site, I began raiding it for the most obscure, hard to find stuff I could think of. First thing that came to mind was 1991's Nothing but Trouble. I already have "Bonestripper" left over from the Illegal-Napster days (on a very, very old burned CD- from back when I was still in high school). None of the other tracks are that great. What I really recommend is a score piece that never made it onto the soundtrack- "Helen Claire" by Michael Kamen which... may (or may not?) be from the score to Terry Gilliam's Brazil (which he composed). And some other tracks, oldies that didn't make it onto the soundtrack- "Garden in the Rain" and "Wabash Cannonball." I wanted to hear "Atlantic City (is a Party Town)" the most since it plays directly before the Mister Bonestripper sequence. Ehhhh. "La Chanka" is a little more fun. And then... Digital Underground did a version of "Tie the Knot" (a riff on the ultra-famous "Here Comes the Bride"). That's a novelty worth investing in, by virtue of how instantly ridiculous it is.

No idea who Ass Ponys are but "Little Bastard"s been kicking around in my head for years. The only part I knew was "little bastaaaaaard." Anyway, it's okay.

Ben Lee's "Cigarettes Will Kill You" is really growing on me too. Originally, it just sat there and I thought "ehhhh."

more later.

Paramore's new self-titled album. It's... terrible. I don't know if Hayley or the new guy are writing the songs since the Farros left, but these songs are awful. Except for "Part II", which actually sounds even better than some of the old stuff.

Funny how a song about moving on manages to spew enough bile at whoever they're moving on from (gee, I wonder who) that it makes the song seem redundant. This record's crap. I don't mind a band changing its sound at all, but the songs themselves just aren't good.

We still have a long year to go for music, but this one's in the running for my Most Disappointing Album Of The Year category, a title held in 2012 by The Fray's Scars And Stories and in 2011 by Incubus' If Not Now, When?

Morning View's just as good as S.C.I.E.N.C.E. and Make Yourself to me, personally. A Crow Left Of The Murder and Light Grenades definitely aren't as great, but I still consider them pretty good albums.

The last one's the one where I think they lost their fucking minds. It's one thing to try and make an album of more chilled out music, but when none of the songs themselves are any interesting, what's the point? The only song I really love from those sessions, "Rebel Girls", isn't even on the album! It was a Best Buy-exclusive bonus track on last year's live album. When I heard it, I was astonished they didn't include the song.

I'm willing to give Incubus the benefit of the doubt as, IMO, their last album was the only one so far that was truly "bad" (everything before that had some at least redeeming qualities, and I actually really like Light Grenades).

This isn't like, say, Our Lady Peace, who hasn't done anything but churn out forgettable garbage for the better part of 10 years. Man, Gravity is still such a terrible album.

Can someone explain to me the difference between why there is a distinction between "Metal" and "Metal Core". Every "Metal Core" song I've every heard is either "Screamo" (another genre name that makes no sense) or "Alternative" and has  next to nothing in common with "Metal"... So why does it have "Metal" in the title.

I guess what I'm asking is- 'why is the latter a genre name?'
Title: Re: What Are You Listening To?
Post by: Avaitor on April 22, 2013, 05:21:27 PM
Metalcore tends to have a more pronounced influence towards crust punk, crossover, or melodeath than say, screamo, which is what makes it qualify. A lot of acts in that genre tend to skirt that line, though.

I think after Moving Pictures, Rush essentially became a singles band. Their album content became less and less appealing with each release, but what hit the radio was usually strong enough.

Eh, I personally don't think they hit that point until Hold Your Fire. I still love Signals, Grace Under Pressure and Power Windows for the most part. But I'd agree with you on everything after. Except Clockwork Angels. I think that works as a whole album as well.

And "The Garden" is still my favorite closer to a Rush album ever. Beautiful song, and if they never make an album again, it'd be a great last song ever.

Godflesh- "Ice Nerveshatter"

My friend lent me his copy of Super Collider, but I'm on the fence about actually listening to it. The word I'm getting is that in his age, Dave seems to be the problem with the band now, and that's just a shame.

Yes - 90125 (entire album)

A great listen from start to finish and sounds even better when cranked up. Still holds up well today. In my opinion, perhaps the pinnacle album of their career. Makes me feel old when I can still remember seeing the original vinyl LP format sold in stores. lol!

Weezer- "Undone"

Plenty of albums as good as or better than Blue will be made in the years to come, but none as good as it will catch on. It really seems like the only rock that appeals to the masses nowadays is crap like fun. and Mumford & Sons.

It's a great album, Avaitor. I'm loving the fuck out of it. I never thought I'd be able to say that about a Queensryche album again. Though I wish it were more than 35 minutes.

General opinion seems to be that it's not as good as anything pre-1994, but better than everything from the last 15 years. Personally, I think it stands up along with the early stuff. Can't wait to see what they do next.

Nice, although Decibel only gave it a 6 out of 10. They also gave Tatesryche's album a 4, and claimed that this one is barely a step-up, while Tatesryche isn't AS bad as haters have claimed it to be. I'll probably end up giving both a shot at some point.

Also, Nel, when is the last time you listened to Promise Land? A friend and I gave it a spin a few months ago, and I think it holds up pretty well. The production is weird, but the songs get better as you go along if you give it a full listen, and Tate's voice is still mostly there.

Anyway, Def Leppard- "Another Hit and Run".

Promised Land was my first Queensryche album and the only one I had for many years. "Damaged", "Out Of Mind", the title track, "Real World" on the remastered edition; Love that album.  :)

Frequency Unknown has two good songs on it, despite Geoff's warbling muppet vocals. I'll give them credit where it's due. I really like the guitar in "In The Hands Of God" because funny enough, it sounds like it'd be a riff that would fit in with Promised Land. "The Weight Of The World" is alright too. The rest is absolute trash though. Decibel's entitled to their opinion, but I think this s/t album is leagues above the Tateryche mess. I can see why people might not be into it though. But for me, this is the best they've been since Promised Land, and I had a smile on my face the whole time listening to it. Though there are some inflections that Todd does with some of his lines that made me raise an eyebrow, but whatevs.

Slayer- "live Undead"

Oh, Nel, I listened to new (real) Queensryche, and I really liked it! The bonus live tracks are great too. I'm considering buying the deluxe edition while it's still only $15.

Doesn't it feel nice to be able to say that again?

But yeah, you should totally buy it. I'd love for their sales to be towering over Tate's album.

Are there people who actually like Tatesryche? I'm sure there are a couple of people who will buy it ironically to see if it's in the "so bad, it's good" category, but it always felt like the majority of fans went to the band's side during the falling out. And after footage of his band and the samples from his album came out, whoever wasn't already there jumped on the Todd bandwagon.

There are actually people out there who are still on Tate's side. You know, that old "without the original/iconic singer that I grew up listening to, it sucks" mentality. I've seen them. And they're usually just as big of irrational dicks as Tate.  :lol: I just can't believe that some people still cling to the guy just because he's the original singer and completely ignore the fact that he can't sing anymore. Never mind that they actually like the stuff he made the band put out the past few years.

I do think that most people who follow the whole thing on the internet are on the band's side, though. It'll probably help them that they've put out a better-looking album as well (fancy slipcase on the standard edition, box set of the special edition). I have seen people who like them but just aren't in the know. There was one guy on the band's Facebook page who was actually complaining that he wouldn't buy the self-titled album because he though Frequency Unknown was such a disappointment, and other people in the comments section tried to explain to him that it was two different Queensryches. I found that pretty funny, though I think that's the kind of thing Tate was aiming for.

Robert Randolph & The Family Band - Going In The Right Direction

I found Unclassified and Colorblind for cheap. If you're a fan of Classic Rock, Blues, Soul, Funk, Gospel, and Alternative you really can't go wrong with these two albums. They're really good summer albums, too.

I hope you guys don't mind if I close this down and start a new thread up. 100 pages always seems like the best time to restart.
