I dont listen to rock at all anymore unless it's the doors, jimi, pink floyd, queen..... stuff along those lines.... I like more complicated music like jazz for instance!!
But to contribute, check out a fairly new group called..... The Rebirth, a very funky group they are... they're definitely on the motown tip!! Here's the link to their myspace account. http://www.myspace.com/therebirth Evil vibrations is a wicked track!! Play it at your next house party =) or your next BBQ!!! |

Primus - Tommy The Cat (Especially their live version with the ridiculously awesome drum solo from the Rhinoplasty album.... Keep note, the same guy doing that crazy scatting is the guy doing the crazy slap bass alongside) Tool - Sober Tell me that's not complicated. |

While what you say may be true you're missing out one important element of music..... enjoyment and nothing more. Granted that a lot of it may not be complicated but did it ever cross your mind that the intent is not to make you think but make you move? I have hundreds of bands I listen to crossing all genres of music. While I enjoy the stuff that is musically complicated it doesn't stop me from bopping my head to some silly Top 40 radio tune if it's got a catchy beat. Being a music snob doesn't make you better, it makes you miss out on something that is meant to be nothing more than a simple pleasure. :) |

If you listen there is so much music out there that has a jazz influence. For example, all your Q -tip songs, bossa, bossa dnb, soul, funk, P FUNK, house, disco, broken beat ( < not breaks), nu jazz, nu soul, acid jazz, I could go on and on. Some stars I do like however are Beyonce, Amerie, Ben Harper, The Roots, Q-tip, Erycah Badu, Mos Def... and some others... and the reason I like these artists is because they take their music seriously and not as a ploy to achieve girls and millions of dollars like your typical man 50 bloody cent. But like I said before this is just my personal opinion... so please dont take this to heart if you are a big fan of new age alternative music or top 40. I'm a lover of jazz in all its forms and I know we wont see eye to eye. But that's how life goes. |

Take punk rock. The idea the ramones and Sex Pistols and to a newer extent Blood Brothers had going was: We're gonna play four or five chords. But we're going to play the shit out of them. And that's exactly what they do. Quote:
I gave you a list of bands and you only mentioned Primus. Check out that Modest Mouse track. Go listen to The Faint. Check out some of the bands people are mentioning here. Stop judging an entire genre based on what you hear on the radio. Nine times out of ten the radio's not playing the best stuff. Based on what you've written so far, here's some more stuff I think you'll like: Mogwai Murder By Death Failure A Perfect Circle If you feel like getting really experimental (as such complicated), here's some Industrial stuff that I think you should check out: Snog Wumpscut Haujobb Venetian Snares (REALLY experimental, REALLY brilliant) (Apologies, I know these aren't all bands, but hey, we're working on this here). Quote:
Sum 41, Blink 182, Good Charlotte.... see, they all suck. Have you noticed anybody in this thread mention them yet? (Warning: OC quote ahead) "Avril Lavigne is not punk." |

If you're so down to earth you wouldn't turn down an entire major genre of music simply because you heard bad examples of it on the radio. |

Avril is Pop Punk. but anyway, i like what she does, at least someone is out there exposing the rest of the world to individualism and expressism. |

Quote:
If an artist isn't exposing the world to individualism and expression they're not being an artist. There are people doing a much better job than Avril. All she's doing is riding cultural stereotypes and calling it "expression". |

Just the internet. Takes a lot more than just being oblivious to offend me. And like I said, check out what a lot of the people here are putting up. Most of the bands being listed in this thread are really good. |
