| RIP David Lindley Truly one of my personal favorite guitar players. Wonderful soulfulness with highly expressive melodic beauty. Thanks, David. RIP | |
| More Cowbell The sketch itself, with the great writing, great acting (I particularly enjoy when Gene, played by the great Will Ferrell, says, ‘…and I’d be doing myself a disservice…’) and great set/costumes (after doing the sketch in dress rehearsal with a nor... | |
| My opinion; My goodness. Is Audiogon Music Forum trying to go for the Guinness World Record for “most discussion threads criticizing rap music on an online music forum” and “most discussion threads fetishizing vocals performed by females on an online music ... | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" @ab2ab What is this “impact on society” you speak of? How can some music “impact society,” and what does such “impact” entail? “…rap is a particularly focused medium for social degeneracy…by design.” Honestly, where does one come up with this st... | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" @davedead “I certainly find it difficult to imagine that Jerry had an intellectual blindness to any genre of music” The great thing is you don’t have to “imagine” anything. You just posted a video wherein he explicitly demonstrates his intellec... | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" @shutupuface I can’t tell if your intention in quoting the definition of “music” was to refute someone saying rap is “music,” or to refute those who say it is not “music.” If it was the latter, bravo. If it was the former, then something quite... | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" @pedroeb what do you mean by, “ (rap) is not ‘musical’ “?? Do you mean you just don’t enjoy it? | |
| Beatles vs. Stones Abbey Road falls further down the list for me, Beatles-album-wise. “Because” and “You Never Give Me Your Money” are world-beaters, especially “Because.” There are some things about “I Want You (She’s So Heavy)” I really like. I find the intensity... | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" @pedroeb “Who ever thought (rap) was music?” Oy vey. I’m all ears for your definition of “music.” If it ain’t music, what the hell is it? | |
| Wayne Shorter Has passed Bless the family. A great, great artist who blessed us all with an incredible wealth of great, innovative art. | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" It’s not up for debate. Whether one likes it is their business, but asserting it’s “not even music” vaporizes one’s credibility. If someone has actually listened to rap at all over the past 40-odd years, they would note that rap has, 1) these th... | |
| Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time I could give a hoot n’ heck about “genre.” In regards to terrible music, I know it when I hear it. The stuff that hits my ears after emanating from speakers, stuff that is sourced from “contemporary country” stations, is ceaselessly, almost sa... | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" Miles and miles of ignorance here. Jeez Louise. So one guy (The great Ray Charles) said something, so, there ya go. Glomming on to something one guy said as though the Gospel was written. There seems to be a lot of that on this forum. D... | |
| Why Are We Breaking Our Brains? Why would someone “know what they hear,” so to speak, and then give a good gosh darn about specs, measurements, and other figures printed on a page? Why would someone in this position care if some other person attempted to delegitimize and inval... | |
| Beatles vs. Stones @bdp24 I’m a bigtime Carol King nut. I’m packed to the gills with knowledge and reverence of her stupefying ‘60s catalog (and Tapestry, of course). I’ve only heard the original Tony Orlando version of “Halfway to Paradise.” I dig Nick Lowe, ... |
