| How did 70s rock music transition into 80s music? Yeah, the only thing happening in the 80’s were Dave Edmunds, Nick Lowe, Elvis Costello, Richard Thompson, Emmylou Harris, NRBQ, Los Lobos, John Hiatt, Ry Cooder, Bonnie Raitt, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, The Blasters, Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Ran... | |
| How did 70s rock music transition into 80s music? @shtinkydog: To understand and appreciate my confusion at finding The Cure alluring, one needs to read not just the second half of the related sentence, but the first half as well. Context is everything ;-) . | |
| How did 70s rock music transition into 80s music? Okay @tablejockey, but "Stray Cat Blues" was recorded in the late-60’s, over 50 years ago for gawds sake! Anyone who thinks Keith Richards is a naturally gifted musician needs to watch the scene in Hail! Hail! Rock ’n’ Roll (the 1987 documentary R... | |
| How did 70s rock music transition into 80s music? One 80’s group I for some reason like is The Cure. They were the antithesis of my normal taste in music, and I really don’t understand why I find them so alluring. | |
| How did 70s rock music transition into 80s music? @edcyn: Have you followed the bread crumbs back from the Rock of the 70’s (I agree with you about a lot of the "Rock" music of that decade, excluding the likes of NRBQ, Dave Edmunds, The Flamin’ Groovies, The Dwight Twilley Band, a few others) to ... | |
| I love sad music Has anyone mentioned "Strange Fruit", made famous by Billie Holiday? I love melancholy music (isn’t melancholia the natural human condition? It’s been mine since watching in horror as my mother slowly, painfully succumbed to brain cancer when I w... | |
| Please share photos of your Vinyl cabinet/shelving By 2015 quite a few musicians I had been involved with had died (still more have died since, including Evan Johns. John Wicks, and Emitt Rhodes), and I started seriously contemplating my own mortality (I'm no spring chicken). I looked at my racks ... | |
| New In 2022 Well that's interesting @jafant (Rock Of Ages). The original 2-LP set is one of my favorite live albums (along with their collaboration with Dylan on Before The Flood). By the way, in 2013 Capitol Records released an expanded 4-CD/1-DVD boxset of ... | |
| Is blasphemous Music ok? Good points @tylermunns. I am able to separate an artists art from any cultural/activist activities in which they participate. I approved of John Lennon’s work in the latter, but found his solo artistic work unlistenable (yes, I realize that is a ... | |
| Need some help with Brandenburgs @dodgealum: Yes! I too have the Fuller boxset, and share your opinion. I like the composition enough to have multiple recordings of it, others (in addition to the Pinnock) being Nikolaus Harnoncourt on Telefunken, Gustav Leonhardt on Phillips, and... | |
| Is blasphemous Music ok? @tylermunns: Another great post! That quote is of course taken from a song on The Mothers Of Invention's We're Only In It For The Money album, and is a joke line my friends and I used for years. As for Zappa, he apparently didn't know the "In his... | |
| Best Sound Track Ever Vote for One @tylermunns: OMG, I love Ghost World! There is much about it to love, including the Blues Hammer scene. SO true! Every time I happen to see a clip from a current Country Music Awards Show on TV (my sisters watch them. Ugh.) I am reminded of Blues ... | |
| Is blasphemous Music ok? Zappa was so literal. | |
| Need some help with Brandenburgs @notify: If you like Pinnock’s Brandenburgs, look for his recordings of Handel, Rameau, and Scarlatti on the UK label CRD. Great performances, excellent recorded sound quality (the harpsichord is in your room!) and LP pressings. | |
| Jude-not Julian Lennon mattmiller’s "facts" are fake news, most likely "learned" on the God-almighty internet. Everyone has known about Paul’s inspiration for the "Hey Jude" lyrics for a half-century. That’s "old news." |
