Ghoul,

You named some great bands. My rant is not directed at those bands. My rant is directed at bands like Mudvane, Puddle of Mudd, ect. They are “hard” bands put together by a record company. Basically trying to capitalize on people wanting more music like Rage/Korn, except this new Music sucks.

I totally agree with you there.

Many great songs by the bands listed, but in the long run few of these are Great bands. One song by them(including my one of my selections, RUSH) purty much sounds like another. Though they are not my favourite band, Da Beatles were in a world almost unto themselves. Between them they could play over 60 instuments in their peak production years. Name me another band(even one of up to seven members) that can do that WIHOUT SYNTHESIZERS!

NOTE : I’m not so limited in my ways to enjoy life that I would choose to CRANK UP DA BASS just to to feel it pummel my body.
I want to enjoy listening to music for a long time to come. However, I’m already the only guy I know my age with little(and it’s selective)hearing loss. Crank up your music next to my car and I’ll match it with a competitor(country, rap, techno, pop, blues,you name it- it’s close at hand/CD).

Who cares how many different instruments a band/group can play.

Does a band have to play multiple instruments to make enjoyable music?

And what does the quality of my life have anything to do with heavy bass?

You just keep cruising around in your Daddy’s car blasting your country music there, hillbilly.

3 words:
Hip, Fully Completely

The Beatles and Elvis tdo rank among the best for me. Nothing better than good, wholesome fun.

When did Britney and N’Sync admit that they are crap?

Actually, I’d say that this group leans towards the right

Let’s not bash on rap too hard. Of course, popular mainstream rap is crap (but hey isn’t most mainstream?) Just because artists don’t have instruments doesn’t make the music bad! Try rahzell (sp?) for some lyrical excitement or some party hip hop like black eyed peas……oldies like dre are always good too…

Two trailer park girls go round me outside, round me outside….

Celebration for England going through to the next round…? aren’t you canadian?

actually, i was born in australia and lived in england before moving to canada… england is where i got into football and most of my family still lives there…

music went downhill man…i could only listen to…

channel 429 string music
old beatles music and other late 60s early 70s bands
early to mid 90s grunge
sonic the hedgehog cd

I don’t know if anyone likes metal but I recently heard some work by a band called The Ambulance, and I sort of like them. It incorperates some blues unfluences nicely; kind of like Zep in that respect, except a little less so.

I’m having a little trouble keeping up to Radiohead. Some of their stuff still kicks a**, but some of it is just weird. Call me sentimental for Pablo Honey . . . .

@Yanny:

Sonic eh? Good Taste :)

yes, it’s like “segaized” techno :D
