Thanks for enlightening us with your very open mind.
We Know The Beatles are Sh*t, So Tell Us Some Other Bands That Suck!
- Thread starter rajarshi s
- Start date
You can think that...but the truth is, before the Beatles, popular music was in an absolute SUCK phase; Elvis in the Army...Buddy, Richie, and JP in that plane...Jerry Lee hiding with his 13-y.o. Cousin/wife in shame...Little Richard headed back to the pulpit...
By 1962, people were back to listening to recorRAB of "How Much Is that Doggie In the Window" that sounded like they were recorded over the phone.
Not only did the Beatles change the way music was WRITTEN (taking it out if the hanRAB of the record companies and instilling the ORIGINAL D.I.Y. Ethic) but the way it was recorded in the studio and listened to it at home.
I can guarantee that if you listen to music that is not European classical or opera, American jazz or blues, or Eastern/Drone/Raga...that is, if a band you like puts out an album (CD or download for ignorant youth), and it has the lyrics printed inside, and/or a Producer credit, then it has roots that lead directly to the Beatles.
Then again, I just saw that you are from Philadelphia (I can't think of a single decent band from the Philly area)...the same city that boos Santa Claus...I remeraber Michael Irvin getting booed after he was wheeled off the turf of the Vet...those moronic Philly fans even booed Donovan McNabb when he got drafted, and are now talking smack on him now that he's gone.
People from Philly must have a genetic retardation inherent to the region...
Maybe it's the water?

It wasn't really an argument but yeah, I guess you're right.

I like Thorogood, it's good drinking music. Can see why people don't like it though, there's not a lot there.

just don't feel the need to post my point of origin on an interwbs message board.
Let's just say it's NOT the NE.
you got me on the jazz; I'm a closet jazzbo myself - my vinyl copy of Miles at the Plugged Nickel gets played often...but my fav Miles album is In A Silent Way.
Not big in the lounge acts, but I'm totally down with **** Dale and Lonnie Mack - those dudes could shred...the Ventures were cool, too.
wut wut (in da butt)

Comparing Nickelback to Boston is a very strange analogy, I don`t see how you can compare a Nirvanaesque post-grunge type band to Boston, they`re almost different enRAB of the rock spectrum, also Nickelback has a horrible singer whereas Brad Delp was rather sublime.
As for Shinedown, they have far more in common with Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden or Soundgarden etc as far as their influences go, than to that of Journey!!!
Train of Today never heard of them and neither has wikipedia!!!!
Personally, I think "Grand Illusion" far superior to anything that Queen did despite the fact that Styx borrowed a lot from Queen. Tommy Shaw actually left the band, as he wanted to put the band back into a more rock orientated direction as opposed to the commercial synth based style that De Young had led the group. "Kilroy Was Here" is actually a great concept and atmospheric album and actually has some of Mr.Shaw`s best songs despite all his complaints.
In reference to Boston and AOR in general, this was just a style of music that continued the great melodic traditions of the American west coast sound that were laid down in the 60`s with banRAB such as Creedence Clearwater, Love and Beach Boys etc and evolved through banRAB such as Santana, Eagles and Doobie Brothers etc and of course a whole load of other banRAB from central and eastern USA as well. The current crop that were around in the late 70`s such as Boston along with the whole prog scene as well, were the victims of Johnny Rotten and punk in general, had they been around ten years earlier, groups like Love and Beach Boys would have got it in the neck instead!!!
Finally, Neil Schon never left Journey (was always a core meraber of the band) it was only Greg Rolie who left. The reason he left, is that he just wasn`t a lead singer and the group desperately needed that (even though his singing wasn`t bad) thus enter Steve Perry. As for "Seperate Ways" great song and great video and there`s even a good cover version of it on youtube as well.
I`ve certainly matched your content here, but of course my opinion was far better thought out than yours, so as you Yanks say "Have a nice day"

I think I'm very open-minded, people shouldn't take music so seriously, that's all.

No, just you. The Wikipedia page is talking about the style of music known as Philadelphia Soul. Not everyone who played it was from Philly but the style itself was from there. Get it?
