Musical subgenres seem way too complex and arbitrary for me to really understand.

Metal subgenres always seemed pretty self explanatory to me, but one time I had a very sweet friend of mine try in good faith to teach me about subgenres of electronic music and now I assume that's what I sound like to other folks

Growing up in the 90s, the only 'real' metal was determined by how many people it pissed off/how few people listened to it. In time, a band could stop being 'real metal' if they got too popular.

Aww well that's sweet. Maybe later tonight when I have some time I'll do a brief writeup. And I would like all you metal fans to know that while I don't care for metal music too terribly much personally, I do respect it as a genre, despite my protestations to the contrary. I'm just poo poo posting at the end of the day. The guy who plays drums in my band is a huge metal head and it gives us a very unique sound, I know nothing about metal so I have to work out how to play prewar, finger style country blues type guitar on top of it. It's certainly interesting, even if it's not good.

Part of me wishes I’d been more serious about learning music only because I want to be able to create new throwaway genres like that, like farmcore (a.k.a. thresh metal), which is 25% bluegrass/americana, 25% psychobilly, and the remaining 50% is a spectrum of ‘80s thrash, speed, and glam

If someone asks what type of music I like I usually just say "hip hop and guitar music" because saying subgenre stuff just sounds like annoying nonsense in the end to most people and makes them not really want to talk to you

Chrpno posted:Oh yes top stuff, Deep Purple, early Yes, Tull etc. The silliest example being Atilla from 1970, a duo of just drums and young Billy Joel on organ. Even better - The Crazy World of Arthur Brown Perhaps one of my absolute favorite bands of all time. Almost completely unknown nowadays. Technically a one hit wonder, they broke big in 1968 with Fire. I've met so many people in my life who know a lot about prog, and not a single one of them has ever heard of The Crazy World of Arthur Brown. Their eponymous 1968 album is one of the best albums ever made, imo. Listen to it all the way through - it's just amazing how good it is. And there's no guitar. Drums, bass, hammond, and string and horn arrangements. And it came out in June 1968, a month before Deep Purple's debut single, Hush (which not many people know is actually a cover). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KlQLJri-a4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=en1uwIzI3SE And their (only) full album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OA-0vGlKBQ4 Dude's actually still alive and his voice is in tact despite being like 80. He started putting out albums again in around 2014 and they're actually really good. One of the few aging 60s musicians I think is still good. I also really like Procol Harum. Yes, the whiter shade of pale band. Most people aren't aware they put out a string of like 4 extremely good albums. Imagine forming a band, recording your debut single, and that single is Whiter Shade of Pale, one of the most successful singles in history. And then having to follow it up. So, yeah, most people have no idea they did anything else. But in fact they were arguably the first "real" prog band by todays standards. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmGaDL-mcs4 Also this song is sick, but it was actually off their first album, which came out in 1967, prior to The Crazy World of Arthur Brown. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQC7Kk4WOPU Cosmik Debris fucked around with this message at 03:30 on Jan 18, 2024 |

lol, how many of you can humble brag that a metal band shares your last name down to the exact spelling? Honestly, It's pretty surreal to discover your family name is also a metal band.

I love the scene in “The Commitments” where the priest plays “Whiter Shade of Pale” on the church organ, and then later on, when the band is playing “Try a Little Tenderness”, right at the beginning Deco whispers “fandango”. In short: I like Procol Harum.

Pennywise the Frown posted:Metal can be good. However, any in-depth discussion into the 5,000 minutely different genres of metal is not good. Oh wait till you hear about the new death metal sub genre where the bands all have two singers, just guttural screaming about which pokemon and/or trains are better. The Peppercorn A1 Pacific No. 60163 Death Orgy Massacre is easily my favorite song from that sub-genre. Didn't need to be 34 minutes though.

Live Conquistador is better than A Whiter Shade of Pale. I haven't been quite able to get into their other stuff, but I'm just now being able to fully appreciate Jethro Tull so maybe I'll get there. Strawbs are another favorite of mine from that era. They start folk proggish and then got more mainstream by the middle of the 1970s. The Strawbs have a young (and restrained) Rick Wakeman, though Dave Cousins did get pissed off at him for playing an organ with a paint roller on this TV performance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDDy6qXIWC8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqhnoFu8urc
