Title: You get to erase five bands from music history. Who do you choose?
Post by: Chris on August 21, 2008, 09:28:00 PM
I'm stealing this from Fark.  My musical knowledge is severely lacking since it only goes back 15 or 20 years, but everyone has bands and performers they absolutely loathe.  So, what's your pick?  Who is the weakest link?

I just got back from Fair Park amphitheater where they were busy setting up for the Judas Priest show tomorrow night.  I didn't know they were still churning and burning.

- Menudo (birth of the corporate boy bands)
- New Kids on the Block (product of the corporate boy bands)
- Hanson (did they really do any damage?)
- Strawberry Alarm Clock (my mind defaults to "Incense & Peppermints" when I'm tired)
- KC & The Sunshine Band (ok...they weren't COMPLETELY worthless)

Judas Priest has a new album out.  The magazine ads are disturbing.  Rob Halford is in his full bar-trolling gay-biker outfit.  He makes that guy from the Village People look like Mister Rogers in comparison.

I'd rather see Iron Maiden.

I put the Village People in with the Bee Gees and Abba.  Somewhat enjoyable but not overly offensive (musically speaking).

I actually met Hootie and the Blowfish once, in a way it was like that Beach Boys episode of Full House.

They came into this bar I was in, the bar tender got all excited because he was a guitar player in a band or something kids did in those days and one of the guys, the red haired one, came up to the bar and I ask, "oh, so you guys are a band?" and he said "yeah" somewhat defensively and so I asked which one and he said "Hootie and the Blowfish" and I said, "Oh, I've heard of you guys" which was true, but I had never heard their music at that time.

Back in those days, I mostly listened to NIN and Nirvana and such.

So, Hootie made my list because if they never existed then maybe NIN or Sound Garden or some hot chick band would have come into the bar and I would have a better story.

Curse them!  They're the whole reason why I'm not having grandchildren.

Hootie & the Blowfish are a borderline band. Ciderella shouldn't be on the list though. Sure they dressed strange but they were a good group of musicians. They actually play Blues pretty damn good.

One thing the Blowfish have is Darius Rucker.  He has an amazing voice.  Being an old singer myself, I tend to listen to the vocals more than the instruments.  Rucker rates 5 stars with me.

All those kinds of bands like Cinderella sounded pretty much the same to me.  They are just the ones I can remember.  Nelson is in a separate category because they seemed like a hair band with a teeny bopper thing going on making them the double devil.  Or something.

Once I discovered Beethoven and Verdi, that's all the past.  Most of it is kind of simplistic and much of it is tedious and dull.  I say get rid of it all.  What has rock and roll ever done for anybody anyway?  Beethoven has selflessly saved lives on countless occasions and Verdi is like the Mother Teressa of music, always giving regardless of faith and/or politics.  Truly the saints of music.

They have recorded, I think, seven albums in the last ten years.  None of the last six albums have sold like the first one (which was a MEGA success), but they have sold a respectable number of records.  Bands don't get to keep recording if they continually bomb.

I like the Opera Band and the Aria projects by Paul Schwartz for vocals.  Obra mai fu from Schwartz, not exactly following the script but an excellent version of the song and I like Vita Mia from The Opera Band because it kind of juxtaposts the modern male vocal with the more operatic.

Here is a You Tube version but they do the English vocals more operatic then on the album: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbI8YDjNcSo

Really I don't care one way or the other about Hootie and the Blowfish, I just wish a cooler band had come into the bar.

Bob Dylan - as if anything that lazy pothead ever did could objectively qualify as "music" in the first place;

Madonna - You are the weakest link - ya hose-beast! - GOODBYE!;

Let's see, I'm thinking Run DMC was damned near the head of the [c]rap genre (I could be wrong, but it's a valid target nonetheless)  - remove the head and kill the rest of the pathetic genre;

And last but by no means least, that Diana Ross wannabe, Michael Jackson - get the **** outa here, ya pervert!

I never was a crazed Beatles fan myself, but I do know something about that era.  The Beatles were responsible for turning popular music on its ear - in a good and positive way.

I was 9 years old when they arrived on the American scene via Ed Sullivan in 1964.  I was not impressed.  I carried a baseless bias against The Beatles until late in the decade.

Now I listen to their music with an opened mind and I'm amazed.  Their use of major and minor chords in vocal and rhythm harmonies alone is enough to put them in the Musical Genius Circle.

The Beatles' drug-fueled lack of musical inhibitions resulted in a spectacular period of creativity and musical exploration unmatched, especially today.  Their innovative energy gave permission to so many other artists to get outside the 4/4-time-in-a-formula-box and produce the most incredibly lasting works of musical art we still enjoy to this day. 

Musically speaking, we owe a great deal of credit and appreciation to those four boys who called themselves The Beatles.   Popular music's library wouldn't be half of what is today if The Beatles hadn't come along when they did.

So, stick it in your Octopus's Garden   :tongue:

Post by: Eupher on December 01, 2008, 04:42:02 PM
I read this a few weeks ago and found the analysis on "Eleanor Rigby" interesting:

Quote
Melody and Harmony
   The melody here is in the Dorian mode; that's the one with the minor third but Major sixth and seventh, and it's a relatively uncommon choice for the Beatles, over the long run.
   The harmonic resources are quite spare, with a very small number of chords actually used, and those that are used make for relatively weak and modally "plagal" establishment of the home key. Aside from the large drone-like air play given to the e-minor i chord, we have no more than VI (C) and iv (a); the Major IV chord (a nice modal touch in context of a minor key) is implied as a passing chord over the e drone.
  Arrangement
   The backing arrangement for small string ensemble is well crafted by someone who clearly understood the string quartet idiom. Though eight players are used, the writing is in essentially four parts where, except for brief flashes of solo playing, each is doubled for strength.

What all this means is that the Beatles didn't necessarily walk into the studio with all this laid out on paper. They doodled. And McCartney was a pretty good doodler.

The producer's role in this is actually light-years beyond most music producers today. These are the goons that have dollar signs in their eyes and have absolutely no concept of music beyond what they think sells.

Eleanor Rigby (http://oldies.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?zi=1/XJ&sdn=oldies&cdn=entertainment&tm=105&gps=142_25_1020_612&f=00&su=p504.1.336.ip_&tt=2&bt=1&bts=1&zu=http%3A//www.icce.rug.nl/%7Esoundscapes/DATABASES/AWP/er.shtml)

Tiny Tim wasn't exactly a "band"...... (I'm not quite sure he was actually a "musician", either)

You guys are so correct -- I have NEVER liked fag jagger. Gimme Shelter was the only good thing they ever wrote and GFR's cover blew the Stones version away.

Lessee . . .

Vanilla Ice  (He's on "Ice, Ice, Baby" as a DJ somewhere--really!)
Any gangsta-type rapper  (Look into the thread for one of the reasons)
Rick Astley  (The whole "Rickrolled" thing--the New York Mets damn near had that happen to them)
Celine Dion  (My hearing won't go on!)
Any number of "hardcore" metal bands  (Screaming words at the top of your lungs is not singing)

As for those who might be on someone's list, but shouldn't (IMO) . . .

Bee Gees--those songs were, and still, hot.  Barry's falsetto is entertaining enough for me--and he didn't have to get castrated to be able to sing that high!
Bruce Springsteen--cannot stand his politics, love the music and the songwriting ability.  He's had more than a few hits where he wasn't singing the song; he wrote it, and gave it to whomever to record it.
Johnny Cash--if you don't have at least one Cash album, IMO, there's something wrong.

There's others, but I think that you get my drift.

The Rolling Uglies.....er....Stones made a number of good records. Personally, I liked "Spider and the Fly" and "Under Assistant West Coast Promotian Man"

Any band that uses the letter "Z" for the letter "S" when pronounced that way ("BoyZ" "StarZ" and the like).
