chitoryu12 posted:Bruno Mars I think goes beyond "influenced by" and straight into "copying". "Locked Out of Heaven" sounds so close to a Police song that you could be forgiven for mistaking it for a cover of one you hadn't heard before. It doesn't bother me too much because Bruno Mars's stylistic adventures are more interesting to me than most of his usual piano ballads. Songs like "Locked Out of Heaven" and "Gorilla" and "Treasure" are derivative (of the Police, Prince and either Earth Wind & Fire or Sylvester respectively) but they're still good.

Dont forget crazy drum solos too, my bro was huge into Motley Crue & seeing Tommy Lee wailing away in a rotating drum cage was badass

Randaconda posted:Songs are mostly 80s, commercial is peak late 90s/early 2000s At least all of those songs actually seem to be power ballads. My dad used to have this three-disc "Greatest Power Ballads Ever" collection that had songs like "The One I Love" by R.E.M., "Holding Out for a Hero" (you could get that and not "Total Eclipse of the Heart", the one which is a power ballad?), "Here I Go Again", "Bat Out of Hell", "I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight", "Heaven Is a Place On Earth", "More Than a Feeling" etc. I'm not debating the quality of any of these songs but I have no idea what they're doing on a power ballads compilation.

There was a similar commercial I remember seeing a bunch where it was for a punk rock collection that had nothing punk on it. Unless you think that Men at Work counts as punk.

ToxicSlurpee posted:Apparently metal has been seeing a bit of a revival lately? I would say absolutely yes. I've really been making an effort to keep up with new releases this year after my music tastes kinda stagnated the years prior. I follow a handful of blogs, go to shows, am constantly checking out new artists, and the best of the year lists that are coming out right now are still largely full of poo poo I've never even heard of. I get the impression the scene is pretty fragmented right now with lots of small ecosystems really dialing in to specific sets of sounds. Prog also feels like it's booming with some really stellar and fun released over the past ~12 months or so.

This was recommended with the Power Ballads one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=np8Cgp-2zMc I've heard 80s music was returned to the mainstream with Gross Point Blank, which when you think about it, it fits. It was about a 10 year high school reunion and that would have been people who would have been almost 40 and thats when you want to recapture you youth, because its still the 90s and being in your late 30s was when you had reached full adulthood with career and family. It's also a great movie and probably the last good Dan Akyrod one.

I get the impression the scene is pretty fragmented right now with lots of small ecosystems really dialing in to specific sets of sounds. I used to use Pandora to get new music in my head but it seems that's gone to crap. A lot of it also seemed to be stuff that had come out previously that I'd never heard of. That was especially interesting for really underground stuff but another thing that kept happening was I'd think "oh, this is good I should go find more about this band!" but then find out they'd broken up already. It isn't metal but Pzychobitch is some really good industrial music but really only lasted a few years before I'd ever heard of them. Made me kind of sad. Then again at least Angelspit is still around. Of course industrial music is 90's as hell. It goes back to the 70's but Nine Inch Nails and the roughly eighty trillion bands Alien Jourgensen being involved in bubbling up to the mainstream (well, more adjacent in the case of Ministry but still) was such a 90's thing. I think Trent Reznor in particular just kind of is the 90's made flesh. Then again there also seems to be a revival of interest in some of the stuff from the 90's too. Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson came by here on their tour and the amphitheater was absolutely packed. They also put on a hell of a show.

My brothers and I spontaneously started singing " suck a caribou's rear end" one time. It was weird, because we've never been the type to do that kind of poo poo. We were drunk though.

Blockbuster video wow what a difference I was listening to him in my freshman year of college (2000) but unfortunately didn’t get to see him before he died. I still wear a WW t-shirt on a regular basis. One of my favorite things is saying I have some new music to show someone then playing something like “They Kicked Me Out of Church” and seeing the reaction.

twistedmentat posted:I saw Wesley Willis on September 11th, 2001.  , that must have been an interesting show.Imperador do Brasil posted:Rock over London, rock on Chicago. I also was listening to him around then, although I'd first heard of him in the late 90s somehow. I unfortunately never got to see him, the last tour that he did, he was supposed to play a show somewhere close to me, and my brothers a few friends and I were going to go, but as I recall it got cancelled, because he was sick. I downloaded part of his interview on the Howard Stern show off of Napster or Kazaa or one of them places back in like 2001 or so. I like to tell people that his music is very "Avant Garde". I guess it is in a way. Anecdotal story: Some guys that one of my brothers knows went to see him at a bar somewhere, and before the show, they just kinda came upon him sitting at the bar, or at a table in the place, they bought him a beer, and sometime during the show, he sang a song about them all like " Jim and bob are nice guys to the max, jim and bob are nice guys in the mix, Jim and bob bought me a beer.................." and so on. I still like telling people to "suck a male camel's dick".

Technically none of it is good music, but it's the kind of music that can only exist if made by a schizophrenic man. Like ending every single song with "Rock over London, rock on Chicago" and a product slogan.  The permanent bruise/callus is from greeting everyone by headbutting them. chitoryu12 has a new favorite as of 15:33 on Dec 17, 2018 |
