MUSIC: the official thread.

You mean their first two albums? They were great.

 

Could never get past the lyrics, tbh. Sound like they were written by a 15 year after their first school disco. Not saying they're pish or anything, just don't really light me up, no

My nan had this Duke Ellington/Louis Armstrong collaboration on vinyl, this was always my favourite number:

:hammertair of geniuses right there


The most influential improviser in the history of jazz and the greatest composer in the history of jazz

It's like some weird Hybrid of Curtis Mayfield and Don 'No Soul' Simmons.

I like the riff in the verses, the hook gets annoying after a while though

 

In 2013, I'll take it!

 

Have you stopped smoking or something? You're becoming unsettlingly cogent.

 

I'll stick with the real things.....

Never a huge Curtis Mayfield fan, but this one (from the same album TFK linked for "If There's a Hell Below") is a stone cold classic (ruined by Kanye)

I actually have, though I doubt it'll be a permanent thing

 

Artec Monkehs

 

I heard "My Girl" on the radio just now, it really is one of those perfect, timeless songs. It couldn't be improved in any way.

 

Motown was pretty much the apex of chart pop

 

Some Motown I love, some I don't

Can't say I was ever big on The Temptations, to be honest

My favorite motown stuff is the Marvin Gaye/Tammi Terrell duets, Stevie Wonder's stuff, Smokey, Martha & The Vendellas...

The Temps and especially the Supremes are my least favorite... Diana Ross was a weak, weak singer and her mewling kitty voice ruins the Supremes for me

 

Happy Birthday to my boy Kermit Ruffins. I caught his show at the Blue Nile when I was in New Orleans a few months ago. It was a damn good show.

Good playing right there

You could set your watch to that drummer

 

I plan to take more drugs than Bez tonight. If it's the big sleep for me then it's been nice, bros. Except for you Slice YA MOLE! It's you who's driven me to this i hope you know.

This is DOPE!

artie:

 

Hut:love: his royness

 

Its fucking wank.

 

It's the kind of Zzzzzzz "jamming" that would have Hut throwing chairs at the stereo if the guys making the music had bellbottoms, long hair and were called The Pink Floyd... What the fuck did I just listen to? I listened to a 2000s answer to large swaths of shite like "Ummagumma"

Same shit... repetitive looping rendered as such due to the limitations of the musicians playing it

Why didn't Pink Floyd "jam" things more varied or complex than "Echoes"? Because Roger Waters, Rick Wright and Nick Mason couldn't play well enough to do that.

How is this not "meandering"? Because there is a limit to how far out the musicians are capable of travelling?

I have no problem with anyone liking this music, but I fail to see how you can gush over this and guffaw at some crap like "Careful With That Axe, Eugene"

 

Syd Barrett didn't write stuff like that because he was awesome and you fucking know it

 

Are you MAD??

The Syd Barrett Floyd played the same shit! The difference is that he was a third-rate guitarist and Dave Gilmour wasn't!

 

He was probably the greatest songwriter who wasn't a member of The Beatles
