Music The Music Thread

[ExtremeNinja]

Music is not terrible these days. You are just listening to the wrong music. Don't let yourself be fed that crap chart music. There are other choices. My advice is to stay away from Capital FM / Radio 1 and you'll be safe. Try 6music if you haven't given it a shot yet.

 

[soccerman17]

No, music is not terrible these days, but the general public has terrible music taste these days so all the bad stuff gets popular.

 

[no-FIAt-please]

Music is personal preference, there is no such thing as good music. Simply listen to what you like and don't bash others because they like a certain style.

 

[soccerman17]

You have a point, but am I allowed to bash society for letting young children listen to this extremely innapropriate and vulgar music?

 

[no-FIAt-please]

Society doesn't let them, bad parents do. Either way I don't see what harm it will do, I used to listen to Barbie Girl as a wee mucker and that song is suggestive. To kids it's just a catchy song and no more, unless some idiot explained what it meant then there's no harm done.

 

[Mephistopheles]

This one is for gethinceri and me

 

[gethinceri]

Gonna learn that dance Mephistopheles , it's like a tuned up Tiger Feet.
Judging by the audience Germany just wasn't ready for Racey.

 

[Mephistopheles]

Yeah well you wanna try this one gethinceri it's bloody hilarious and a right crack to do.

Thee ol' Racey shuffle there folks..

 

[ExtremeNinja]

I didn't mean to bash a style of music. I think you have misinterpreted. I am more critical of the prevalence of poor quality music. Music is like food. There are well cooked pies and badly cooked pies of different fillings. A pie which is not necessarily your favourite filling but is well cooked can often be more appealing than a badly cooked pie which is made with your favourite filling. If all you are fed is crap pies, which most of society is, then you'll not learn to appreciate a good pie.

 

[Mephistopheles]

I have to agree with you ExtremeNinja some music is just fun, some is good and some is fantastic, but a lot of it is total shit...

 

[Porceliamone]

Any artist/ "song" banging on and on about having their c**k sucked (no matter how pathetically veiled) is innapropriate in my eyes when aimed at a young market, including children and played on prime-time national radio. There's no justification for it. It's plain wrong - as well as being a terrible piece of "music".

Absoulte Radio and Sky Arts HD are boardcasting Isle of Wright festival this weekend.

My favourite band Biffy Clyro are performing on Saturday.

Here's one of their songs:

If anyone likes prog then take a listen to Magma, but listen to all of it to get a good idea of what its about. IMO only three Pink Floyd albums are better than this. Three!

 

[tooncheese]

And what I believe to be the best album ever. (should of posted it first really)

 

[gethinceri]

Probably my favourite of all time too. Such a shame Waters' megaloegomania kicked in.

 

[Incubus]

I'm in a mood for something to do with the devil. No offence Mephistopheles.
I was there you know? (Warning: loads and loads of swearing)

 

[ExtremeNinja]

YES. THAT IS A TUNE!!!!

 

[Incubus]

Yes, say what you like about the devil. I don't know if he's got the best tunes but he certainly inspires them. Good old devil.

 

[Slyboogy]

Not really my type of song, but I think the way the autotune is used works well with the electronic type beat.

 

[ZakspeedYakspeed]

Ah..... Saint Nick.... Stagger Lee.... love it... great album.... O'Malleys Bar is pure aural joy....
