Cat Power - The Greatest-----------------------------Cat who, what, oh never mind

This gal is interesting if you like the Fiona Apple or Laurie Anderson type of music.

Genre_ally speaking, I concur. 'Course the better the system gets the more I'm open to music I may not have given a chance previously.

The mosquito like vocals at the beginning are actually in English, she's singing very subtly about genocide in Rwanda, Congo and Darfur. Great album, among my favorites last year (though I'm sure plenty of you will hate this)

Sorry but I hate it just reading about it.

Oh! and one more "Radiohead", what a nightmare, I bought "OK Computer" before I had heard it. Then I listened to it on the radio, and didn't even take it out of the cling film. I gave it away.

I'm curious, what don't you two like about Radiohead/Ok Computer ?
(It happens to be one of my favourites.)

It's shocking to read stuff like this. I guess it simply goes to show it's all a matter of taste
This is their first and is IMO far superior to the second. Let's not talk about the third.

Journey....Steve Perry....Good for takin' the tarter off the teeth, nevertheless!

click link at your own risk.

link to what they describe as 'hardstyle'

short put, probably the cheapest, most annoying and utterly useless cr@p out there.

and that's just the 'music', please don't get me started about the people that actually listen to it...

Keep them spinning,
Bert.

I think the third has got it's exciting songs too...

as you said, it's just a matter of taste

MIA kicks ass, but that video straight up sucks -

this video is much better

**emesbee** · 03-15-2009, 09:09 PM

Anything rap or hip-hop drives me up the wall. Monotonous, boring, verbal diarrhoeia.

Barber: Adagio for Strings. Soaring, awe-ful, endless....

Khatchaturian: Gayane Ballet Suite. Okay, okay, anything but the Sabre Dance! I'll talk!

Yes, I see where your coming from with this and I agree. Note that to a lot of people this stuff is classical music: they are essentially ignorant of anything that isn't of this schmaltzy ilk, (and they wonder why they don't like classical music).

Basically I tend to a similar reaction reaction to 75% of pieces from the Romatic era. (OK, Pachelbel is Baroque and Barber, Khatchaturianm and Rochmaninov are arguably Post-Romantic, but you've got the idea.) Personally I have no patience for anything by Schumann and very little by Brahms -- not that the greatness of these guys is in question. And as for Bruckner's stuff, it's just brutal.

I can't staza 'nother!

**Worf101** · 03-17-2009, 10:04 AM

To clarify on my Bollywood take. I LOVE some of the beats, and can dig the dance numbers but those vocals in that register.... ohhh mercy.
