The Music Thread...

Back in the old days...

<===You

Yeah, I had a rough go of it for awhile. Thanks for being that back up, you heartless bastard.

I take the same approach with my children.

I can give them advice, but when they screw up and lose their way, I can help them pick up the pieces.

With love and head noogies.

 

[Genghis Khan]

I remember back on DCC II or maybe III, you suggested stuff like this and I have been listening ever since:


Never would have heard or considered them, as I am not a music buff that seeks out new stuff all the time.

I don't listen to radio either, so I couldn't tell you who the eff is really good right now.

I kind of stumble upon stuff or let Spotify do the work for me when I am in the mood.

Cool, I'm glad, that song is awesome.

Here's a fun fact that Iamtdg probably doesn't know: Pull Me Under is about Hamlet.

You are wrong. I do know that. I also know all the band members have PHDs in music theory.

 

[Texas Ace]

Coming from a huge fan of the 90's Seattle alternative scene, I never was a very big fan of Nirvana. That is all.

Me neither.

Pearl Jam and STP were far better.

 

[Cotton]

Me neither.

Pearl Jam and STP were far better.

Yep.

 

[Carp]

I found STP to be greatly overrated. Actually, that whole grunge era sucked. I do like Pearl Jam...they are a great band, but bands like Nirvana, Alice in Chains, STP, and Soundgarden all were OK in small doses...but not something I would want to listen to regularly.

Chris Cornell is the songbird of a generation.

I just looked it up and even one of the band members said something about it being related to Hamlet.

 

[boozeman]

Chris Cornell is the songbird of a generation.

Outside of the Stepbrothers reference, he was one of the best a shitty 1990s time period, yeah, he was pretty decent.

 

[boozeman]

The Grunge era should resonate with me, but it just doesn't.

There are very few songs from that period that I would consider good enough to put in a time capsule.

 

[Cotton]

I just looked it up and even one of the band members said something about it being related to Hamlet.

It is about Hamlet. I wasn't debating that fact. I was debating the idea that I might not know this fact.

 

[Cotton]

Chris Cornell is the songbird of a generation.

So was Staley.

 

[Kbrown]

I put "Nutshell" up there in the great songs category for sure.

 

[Carp]

The best stuff Cornell did was with Audioslave.

 

[Deuce]

The best stuff Cornell did was with Audioslave.

I won't argue that. I just think him, as a vocalist, was the best that was out there.

I kind of like this band. Has a bit of a 90s throwback feel to them. This particular song feels an awful lot like a Built To Spill song to me.


I think this may have been kind of a hit but I don't listen to the radio much at all. Good song. Not necessarily representative of their overall musical style though.


Cool song by indie rock vets. Hadn't heard it in a long time but listened to it again recently and remembered how good it is.


This band does almost exclusively instrumental semi trippy Spaghetti Western style stuff. Different but I like it and have found it to be good traveling music.


This guy has some pretty good songs. This is one of them, IMO.

 

[E_D_Guapo]

This band is a lot of fun to see live. Jazz Fusiony.

Another jazzy/funky instrumental that is worth seeing live.


Cool MF'ing song from the Black Dynamite soundtrack. Funky and smooth and makes me temporarily curse my whiteness when I listen to it.


Since I know there are so many people on this board who enjoy going to sweaty, boozy rock shows in crowded small venues () I would highly recommend seeing Austin's A Giant Dog if they come to your town. I'm seeing them tomorrow night.

 

[dallen]

A Giant Dog is great
