Let's talk about music

[FreeCandy44]

Random deftones YouTube clip. :)

Elite live from Pittsburgh 2010.

[Willie Kool]

Willie, you should like this one too.

btw, if there was a poll in the bass community on who is the best bassist today, I'm 99% sure he would win. Not because of anything he does in this particular clip, just his overall talent and popularity.

That's awesome. I'd probably have to agree with him currently being the best.

[Sarcastic]

Hey, check out this one. He doesn't play very fast or does any major tricks here, but this is why I love listening to him. Beatles' Yesterday and look at how expressive and just damn pretty his playing is. He makes it look and sound effortless, and yet that kind of playing just grabs a listenener. Not only a great technician, which is what a lot of people look at, but he can really play from his heart and that's probably his best asset.

Completed the first draft of my top 100 favorite albums. I stress favorite and first draft. There are a couple greatest hits, which I included so that I wouldn't leave certain music off here that needs to be included in my favorite, tried to go through the albums for those bands, but the couldn't cut the list.

I hope to keep it running so that things can get bumped off or potentially move up.

I don't care for that station. I'm sure there's some overlap...but aren't they like all about Wilco and bands like that?

[Kraftster]

I've revisted Rabbit Habits since the Man Man concert. What an album.

I've revisted Rabbit Habits since the Man Man concert. What an album.

I loved this song live, and it made me want to relisten to Rabbit Habits.

[Troy Loney]

I think there are some silly clunkers on that album, but Hurly Burly. Harpoon Fever, Mister Jung Stuffed and El Azteca are such awesome songs.

Thanks?

I'd say if I were to make a Top 100 list, the entries would, on average, be about 20 years older, and there'd only be about ... I don't know, 10 albums from this century. And I'm certainly not one of those sentimental fools that think everything used to be so much better than today. Well, except music, har de har har.

It would be interesting to compile such a list every week and see how much it fluctuates and how many albums would be on every list.

[Troy Loney]

i pretty much went through everything on my ipod compiling this list. trying to give everything one more attentive listen before i made the list. I tried going through some stuff that i wasn't really familiar with before, like some solo lou reed albums and the joy division albums....that's why i stress favorite and potential movement, because your familiarity with stuff is a huge factor.

[Froggy]

I want to make a list now. Hard to do away from my iPod and CDs though

[Troy Loney]

most definitely, i was going through all these albums and compiling this at work over the course of about 2 months.

I've been trying to list albums, and I listed like 89 off the top of my head, but somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 were either superchunk, rocket from the crypt, archers of loaf, or a side project of one of those 3 bands. Its a pretty boring list.

Well...atleast that's only a third.

On a somewhat related note, does anyone rate the songs on their Ipod, and if so, what exact purpose does that serve?

[WDWBurghGooner]

I rate some of them. I put my top rated on my iPod on random when I run. During a run, I need the extra motivation that only certain songs can give me.

Will Ipod just shuffle through the top rated or are you just making a playlist?

[count2infinity]

i love when the the Gorillaz randomly pop up on my pandora station. Love that band.

[FreeCandy44]

I can't get over how good the new QOTSA song is. If it was a woman I'd seduce it and make it mine.

[Gaucho]

New Phoenix album, yay!

[Gaucho]

New Phoenix album, yay!

Very keyboard-heavy, the song Don't is an instant favorite. I'm liking Trying To Be Cool and Bourgeois as well.

[canaan]

I'm digging the new fall out boy disc. No homo.

Young Volcanoes is catchy.

[Gaucho]

You constantly claim no homo, so I'm just going to assume that you're a homo. There really is nothing wrong with it.
