Long Live the 60s!

Has anybody heard of Stan Rogers? His music accompaniment was so extreme that every other song that they performed in concert was sung a-coppella so that the guitarist's fingers wouldn't start to bleed!

If you get the chance, log on to Napster or some other mp3 distributor and check out some of his band's songs. Witch of the Westmorland is a great fantasy song. Great stuff, check it out.

And I agree yo Krazy Wise 'n' Grey homey. I did my homework. Hip-hop and rap are most certainly different. Perhaps I should clarify: I don't like Puff Daddy, Snoop Dogg, etc. and all those chick performers like Jennifer Lopez. Eminem could disapear off the face of the planet, and I wouldn't care.

But Beasty Boys rock! In my High School, we had a music video competition and my class did Sabotage. In the video, we raided the school wearing black jumpsuits. No, seriously we did.

 

if i had to choose my favorite rap group it would be cypress hill, eminem, or beastie boys, but i overall dislike rap, the music i do like has changed some since i last posted so here it is:

i'm the original legendary genital mutilator with my trusty war hammer +5 "neuterer"

 

Wuh???

 

hey Egg, how many CDs do you have? My mom buys a (used) CD every couple weeks. She now has a 200 CD collection, and listens to maybe 15 of them. You aren't like that, right?

my favorite bands:
offspring
disturbed
godsmack
rage against the machine (I hate Zach for leaving)
Bad Religion
Linkin Park

 

I listen to rock. But I prefer all the acoustic alternative stuff to the screaming and shit. I'd choose Duncan Shiek over K0rn anyday. Some of the metal is not bad though, like disturbed. I listen to a bit of Techno too, but I don't know shit about it, like who the HELL cares whether it's "House" or "Trance" right? Techno is Techno, that's that

 

hehe, i've got 1000+ CDs and about two of them are rap. I've got everything from Mozart to They Might Be Giants, but the best stuff out there now is an instrumental "post-rock" band called Tortoise. I tend to like a lot of stuff but I stay away from anything having ANYTHING to do with Celine Dion and/or any guy band made popular within the last five years with a number in it's name (i.e. Matchbox 20, Third Eye Blind, 3 doors down, finger 11, blink 182, etc...) with the only exception to that rule being Ben Folds Five, who are pretty decent IMHO.

Oh yeah, and some of you need to lay off the swearing. Your keyboards must need to be cleaned at least once a day from typing with those dirty hands.

 

I like rap but I agree most of the latest rappers suck especially those "dirty south" rappers that just say the words with no flow at all and at concerts go "you know the words......sing em" then just stand there with the mike to the crowd.To the person that wants some original rap videos try looking at missy elliots and busta rhymes videos.I notice a lot of you that say ALL rap sucks and is not music are only listening to 60's music that you probably listened to as a kid and now the old person gene is kickin in and all new music is just noise to you...oh well you'll die soon anyway so we wont have to listen to you much longer

 

Good taste egg! I like your list though I have to add my all time favourites The Rolling Stones.

btw I don't understand your dislike of the American Prayer album

Other artists I like very much are
Dire Straits
Eurythmics
Lou Reed
REM
U2
ZZ Top
Chieftains
Bob Dylan

 

You can't disrespect Outkast or Goodie mOB, though. They are easily the best the south has to offer.

 

#I'm happy, I'm feelin' glad I got sunshine, in a bag,I'm useless, but not for long my future, is comin' on its comin' on, its comin' on....#

THAT IS THE BEST SONG EVER!!!!

 

Yea I forgot outcast and goodie mob were southern and the video for clint eastwood kicks ass too!

 

I don't hate all rap, I don't listen to just 60s music.

But as long as we're talking about hating, I'll list the bands(styles) that I like the least:

Boy bands, Britney Spears...what a whore, acid bands, twangy country, and a lot of modern rap.

Yeah, I'm kind of a metal guy myself but I like good country and some other stuff. Anybody heard Dropkick Murphy's rendition of "Amazing Grace"? Really cool.

 

i have precisely 567 cd's 456 cassettes and 345 records not to mention too many mp3s to count, im a big collecter

 

All that stuff is so ghetto! Beastie Boys!

 

There you go... the Beastie Boys. My favorite line of music comes from Intergalatic...
"I'll stir fry you in my wok!" Good stuff.

 

Egg you have vinyl huh? thats sweet. i think vinyl sounds pretty damn good!

 

I used to hate country but the video for "I am a man of constant sorrow" is changing my mind.

 

I also guard almost 400 vinyls but have no turntable since 5 years. It's like collecting stamps Got the last one in 1989.

 

LOL Bogi! why dont you just go buy a turntable. you can a good one cheap these days. i have 2 of em as well a microphone.
