SACD & DVD-A

[jamison]

My biggest gripe is the lack of newer music for either of the formats. If the music companies have dumped this much money into something you would think they would make more music to support it. I don't want to hear the Beatles in 5.1. Nor do I listen to classical music. Why can't they put out music that appeals more to the younger generations. They are 90% of all music sells. I think this is one of the key factors that is killing both formats. The same thing happened to Mini Disk. Noone wanted to get Top Gun on Mini Disk they wanted newer music. And they didn't want to have to order it.

Personally, i would love to hear some of the beatle music in 5.1 sacd or dvda
sgt peppers or abby road would be killer, my biggest complaint is the quality of music these days, most new artists are producing material that is only worth the bandwidth of mp3 let alone cd or sacd or dvda.
i grew up on seventies and eighties music and i say now WHERES THE BEEF!
lets start putting out music worthy of these new formats. i was an avid rock and roller and very few albums sound unique these days, everything seems to have a grunge sound to it/
thank god my musical taste has expanded quite a bit. i now enjoy jazz classical, blues, pop and easy listening.

Hear, Hear!!! Amen to that...as a musician, I have to agree with this statement wholeheartedly...too much crap is being produced because too many people are buying albums for 1 song.
But to be fair there are still a few good artists out there...personally I can't wait for Norah Jones' new album, and I think Rush is working on something new as well. Pearl Jam's still putting out quality material.
Speaking of Pearl Jam, what the hell is this Creed nonesense all about? Who the hell buys their albums, why have they sold millions? I don't know anyone who owns one.

Lots of good music in the vaults, it'd be real nice if we could see some more SACD/DVD-A releases!!!

I don't have to like what you like and if it was still popular thats what they would still be making. Most all of those people are dead. That was music from your generation. This is music from mine. I personally would love to see some of Michell Branch's stuff on SACD. Oh and by the way, I love the grunge stuff you hate so much. Its kind of funny you would mention the Beatles. Didn't they change the face of music much the same way Nervanna did. I can't believe you could even try to throw the eighties in there. Most of the music from the eighties was crap. Don't get me wrong. There was alot of good artists then too. It's just a shame you can fit ever good song in those ten years on a ten disk set. Which brings me to your other statement. One hit wounders, the seventies and eighties are ruled in this department. Like I said, if you don't get newer music out there for these formats they will be put on the shelf just like Mini Disk. So sit in your basements and cuddle your Rio Speed Wagon and Gratefull Dead albums all you want. Change is iminnent.

I happen to love Creed and would much rather hear it than CCR.

by one hit wonders do you mean groups like Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd,Fleetwood Mac, Van Halen, Journey,Eagles, Eric Clapton, AC/DC ? I think these groups changed the face of music way more than nirvana or creed did. dont get me wrong i do like some of nirvanas songs but i dont think they are revolutionary. as far as most of these groups most of them are still around with a few exceptions. (John Bonham, Bon Scott etc). by the way what happened to nirvana or creed? you dont hear much about them either. lets see what people think about the music you are listening to now in 25 years.I think they will know more about groups like led zepplin or Pink floyd than they will about creed or nirvana. and i don't sit in my basement either, i listen to music in my living room with a 10k sound system that i have paid for by working 65 hour work weeks for 15 years.

Listen up, SON, I'm 25 years old and hardly removed from the 90's. In fact that IS my generation...the problem is, since 96 music's been so watered down and derivative there's been few bands to peak any interest. In fact, you could argue the entire 90's was based on "Retro-everything" and didn't have its own sound.
Creed? A group that admitted to starting out as a Pearl Jam cover band. Godsmack (read Alice In Chains) Korn...great at first, but now they put out records like they're going out of style to milk money of the 13 year old "hard core" kids that buy that crap...and the 786 bands that SOUND JUST LIKE KORN...blech!!!
I saw Nivana live twice (not sure who Nervanna is)...Grunge died almost 10 years ago when a drug-addicted idiot put a bullet in his head. "I'm rich and famous, my life sucks-I'm so depressed, I need heroin -BANG!!!"
on Nirvana's greatest day, multiplied by a factor of 1000 times, they don't even come close to breaking the ground that the Beatles did. And they were finished before I was born.
Before you go knocking some of these "dead artists" remember that they paved the way for really crappy "Puddle of Mudd" bands to get airplay and have survived the test of time.
Led Zeppelin still rules. Who the hell was Slipknot?
Music today is more about image than sound...how much goth make-up can we wear? How far do we have to go to shock our parents? How depressing can I make my lyrics sound? How low can I drop the tunning on my guitar? Hardcore? I could kick the crap out of most of these goofs.
Before you go bashing the past, I suggest you sample a bit more of it, then you'll realize why we "old folks" from generations passed find Creed and todays other headliners to be such a copy of credible musicians that it's insulting to us.
There are a few good rock bands left. Dream Theater comes to mind, you've probably never heard of them because MTV doesn't like them.
One hit wonders: I'll name a few bands from the 90's who's name begins with the letter "S" that the world has long since forgotten, the entire alphabet wouldn't fit on this forum...even 1 hit wonders from the 70's and 80's still get airplay
Seven Mary Three, Slipknot, Soul Asylum, Silverchair, Stabbing Westward, Sponge, Savage Garden, Screaming Trees, Seal, Sloan, Spin Doctors...anyway you get the idea.

The reason very few of the bands from today are releasing high rez formats is because nobody would buy them.
REO Speedwagon and The Grateful Dead? You watch too many sitcoms, kid. Hardly representative of any generation of music. Someday you'll kids will want to know what you listened to growing up...and when you tell them Nickelback (AKA Theory of a Deadman, AKA Bush, etc) they'll ask you "Who?"

I happen to be 30 years old. This just shows how little you know and quick you are to overlook the facts.

Listen up, SON, I'm 25 years old and hardly removed from the 90's. In fact that IS my generation.

Don't make me laugh. I have been watched bands come and go long before you. And for you to say that there is no music out there anymore shows just how closed minded you really are.

and i don't sit in my basement either, i listen to music in my living room with a 10k sound system that i have paid for by working 65 hour work weeks for 15 years.

And I think that is very sad. I listen on my 7K system that I have paid for in 5 years working 10 hrs a day 7 days a week. So I don't think you have anywhere neer the comitment to music I do.

(not sure who Nervanna is)...

Yeah that's real funny. You know damn well what I meant.

I for one love Bush, Sound Garden, Savage Garden and many others that have come out in the last 10 years. But do we have any of them on SACD. NO! Alanis Morricett ( I know I didn't spell it right) Pearl Jam, Enigma, NO. All the Music for SACD right now is classical or jazz. So remember, I have seen bands come and go long before you were able to get enough allowance from your parents to go out and buy it.

~C.C.~

And SON I think you need to sit down and check you attitude before I have to put your ass in time-out.

[kexodusc]

Oh jeez...you are threatening to kick my ass from behind your computer screen.
Get real, tough guy...next you're going to tell me your a millionaire ninja too?
Whatever kid, come back when you graduate from high school.

Jesus man, you are so full of bull****, these 2 consecutive sentences(that means back to back, junior) clearly contradict each other catching you in your stupid lie.
Not only are you a liar, you're stupid, too! LOL!

I don't give a damn how old you are, boy, you are clearly overmatched here.
Go listen to Creed, you lost everyone's respect when you confessed to liking them.

I have no problems showing my system off to any one. I have worked my ass off to have what I have and I happen to be quit proud of it.

I think we have this backwards. Your really a kid aren't you. If not, thats the only conclusion that you have left me with. Do you actually think taking my statements and warping them is going to make me mad. Yeah right.

The only thing that you have proved is that you are too imature to carry on an intellectaul conversation. Not everyone likes the same music or anything else for that matter. I happen to listen to Rap, Heavy metal (the older stuff), Grunge, Alternative, Trash, Contemperary, and some country. I am tiered of having the same Led Zepplin and Skynard songs thrown at me over and over again. Where is the variety? I never said there is anything wrong with any of these artists (which is what is what you have tried to twist my comment into). I love Pink Floud. And coincidentally the Division Bell is one of my favorite's by them. And that too is a newer release thats not available. Why not??? Every song on that album rocks. You should be so narrow minded and brodden your horizons a little more often. If your never looking for anything else you will never find anything else.

P.S. I built this entertainment center, sofa table, and speaker stands. And I think they came out quit nice. Even though i'm not using the speaker stands any more(I moved them up onto the walls. I will be posting newer pics soon.)
