Declaration of intent: A thread on the forum where I'll try to expose you to music. I've come to realise most of you are younger than me and that leaves me able (and willing) to present some wickes/crazy good (old, sic) music in this thread. I'll edit this one to have the links to my postings:

GG Allin was special and school of hard knocks apply to him. It's not easy beeing a crossdresser in Texas circa 1980. He lived fast and died way to soon. This is punk:
It's refreshing listening to this when bands like Green Day is labeled punk.

1998 (i think) when Napster was the rage my brother got hold of some serious quantitys of American punk. I fast forwarded most of the stuff but this song stuck like glue. This is the song playing in my head when I'm in office working.

sounds more like redneck shit

Yay! I look forward to your daily suggestions, as I'm always trying to continue my musical education.
But I like complex music; orchestral, normally.

New day dawned, new pointer to good culture *cough cough* just kidding.
I don't know what Bjork means but I'd sure Bjork her:
Sugarcubes was on the front page NME. No swedish band has everbeen there ..Nej. Nej.
[for the admins I want to edit post one daily]

Nej, GG Allin was hated by all especially the renecks. Yhey almost killed him every day and from that he grew strong.

Is it just me or does his voice sounds very like Jagger in his early days.
If someone told me 1o years ago this was a Rolling stones number i probably would believe them.

Then post and share some of the music you like then! :P

complex: this seems complex enough (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eh44QPT1mPE)

Young's OK. That wasn't very complex...?
Now this is complex: Ben Folds (Five), my favourite artists (though really, it's mostly about Ben himself...)
-
aah it was a trap - the complex part was getting the right harmonica.
I's off to sleep
sweet dreams
-
Ah Young, my personal favorite is Old man.
It's hard to define Complex i guess.
Is this complex drums? i don't know but awesome it is.
But yeah bedtime.
-
Well, Ben Folds is just an example (I happen to love Elton John and Freddie Mercury, and Ben Folds is kind of an extension of that, though he obviously can't sing as well!)
I just can't hear lyrics -- I only hear the music, and the voice as an instrument. I don't know why; it's just how I'm 'tuned' I guess. So I need complex melodies and plenty of instruments to keep me interested!
Thus, I love all of the 'musical greats' that really used all of the tools available.
Then again, I still like 'simple' stuff like Whitney Houston -- but I guess that's more on pure vocal talent :)
-
To say it in slang, i dig you.
For me the melody, sound and rhythm must be good, the lyrics comes in second place.
Ever seen any other singer been able to change tones in one line or even words as much as Freddy, gdamm he was Godlike.
Blame my aunt but:

Much preferred the original:

Same sort of thing for me, I count the vocal track as part of the melody. A singer that I don't like or is just really bad, just destroys any music for me.
I also like to hear the words, though. Something you can sing along to is generally far better than something you can't (everything else being equal). You can get more involved in the music then :)
-
Forget his words, just listnen to the tone of his vocals combined with the instruments and just space away i say :)
-
or: (Edit button gone? or am i just to far away ;) )

edit: i was looking thru my old cds and i came across HOMM2 and remembered how awesome the music was ... so here is one of the castle themes, first game where i really loved the music... ahh the nostalgy ^^

You can edit for five minutes now...! And then no longer.
I was just playing around with the forum, to stop people from editing old entries (that Atomic paladin deleted his awesome application :()
-
shit so it was you! I was trying to modify a Daekduar topic for sum tips and all i got was quote :S
-
Well, I can increase it to one day or something... but I don't know if that lets you update it every day, or just up until 24 hours past the original topic...
-
Ahh what better than some indie such a lovely afternoon:
And this, one of the finest songs ever. I'm in love.

Oh dear - quick bonus for the visuals:
/daddy

Thnx for bringing back the vaselines song into my view again.
Was driving to the beach today and heared this on the radio.
I think the album was produced by Bowie, and guess who's in the background vocals :)
Also the traffic jam was awefull ofcourse, but hey i'm a patient boy ;)

-
Here's a slow one with some of the best lyrics ever written: "Home was anywhere with disel gas, love was a truckers hand" Stephen Merrit is a grumpy bastard but he make hell of a good songs.
Bonus:
Mark Sandman died way to early. The above song was on #volume 9#, the british cd sized magasine that came with (you guessed it) a cd, in all it's aquarium layout glory.

Yes, and allegely the name Transformer came from Mick Ronson (Bowie guitarrist). He saw the picture on the back of the cover and said "ooh it looks like one of 'em transformers' instead of transvestites. Hence Transformer was the name for the album.

This is what caught my music interest albeit some years later. It's so goddam cool to sacrifice the good times on the tennis court for just making another take.
Bonus, less listened to song (no vid, fan project only) that defines my early 90s.
