Quite relishing ain't it?
It's a fine thing, indeed.
At this moment my favorite 5 bands are:
1. Atari Teenage Riot
2. Crystal Method
3. Alice in Chains
4. Reel Big Fish
5. Def Leppard
But aside from the top spot, the other 4 change almost bi-weekly.
I've been the only one to mentioned Deftones and Team sleep...
my guess is that no one really pays attention to them for lack of liking in instrumental, experimental type music.
I prefer Team Sleep more...
check this beautiful instrumental out. it sends chills up my spine just listening to such beautiful riff..
this song is my favorite from that album...
this song is my second favorite from Incubus
And this song is by far my favorite, beautiful all around composition of lyrics, song meaning, grace, art, wow... This song has it all.
SO many Incubus songs are undervalued, if only people appreciated the philosophy and artistic grace that Incubus is about, we'd be a happier more expressed generation.
This song by far is one that I use while I drive, work out, work in my lab, study chemistry/physics, or even after a fight with my GF, family, friend, etc...
It's just so damn good, it's a shame people don't recognize this beautiful masterpiece.
maybe you need to apologize to all hiphopheads after that comment.this thread already having 400+ posts in a week.. rock lives! How many posts does hiphopheads>>>>> have in 3 years again?
My first cd was Boston. Great song writing and musicianship. I know they're more on the "soft" side of rock and some of their instrumental sections get a little unnecessarily long, but I still dug their style a lot and how they'd transition from mellow to fast and harder in the same song. Back then songs could be 5-6 minutes long and be like two or three different songs in one. "Let Me Take You Home Tonight" and "Long Time" still kick ass when I listen to them.
Growing up (late 80s/early 90s), I listened to a lot of Pearl Jam and Red Hot Chili Peppers up to probably BSSM. I pretty much only like them with Frusciante at guitar. Probably two of my favorite bands around that time.
Probably my favorite band though was Jane's Addiction. I really got into them. Around that same time in the late 80s and early 90s, alternative rock was still in its infant stages. And Jane had that really unique sound, eclectic, strange, sometimes disconnected vocal melodies and guitar rhythms, original drum counts. Didn't know what to make of them at first. "Ritual de lo Habitual" was just really a revelation to me. It wasn't metal and it wasn't soft rock and it wasn't just regular hard rock. Their longer, stranger songs like "Then She Did" and "Of Course" just really made me listen to the musicianship. Never really heard a male singer sound like that before, not even Michael Jackson or Freddy Mercury. So feminine in vocal range yet not really feminine sounding. I got out of listening to any type of rock around 1995 or so when I started exclusively listening to hip hop. So more contemporary rock bands (outside of Rage and Sublime) since then I'm actually very unfamiliar with. I'm sure there has been great rock music since, but I just haven't listened to much of it.
Try and find the Rocka Rolla album. THAT is a masterpiece. It was before the 80 glam of Screaming with Vengeance.
I am real ty at keeping up with music. Its not a lack of interest, its a lack of filter. I have no a en for wading through all the that the industry produces.
although I must say I didn't expect you not to have it.
The XXX album is mint, but I havent been able to find it in any record stores (the few times I have looked in 10+ years).
Triple X wasn't released under any major record company. Jane recorded it independently before they started recording with Warner Bros. Subsequently, I don't believer there was mass distribution of that album and its rights aren't with any major company (I assume). If you really wanted to get it, guaranteed you could buy a copy online. I just checked, and there are some copies on Amazon. It's worth it because there are several really good songs on there beyond the Sympathy cover, including an original of "Pigs in Zen," a morbid ballad called "I Would For You," and a pretty cool song called "My Time." They're still evidently raw on Triple X and the production quality is also obviously not that great. The "Sympathy" cover alone is worth a purchase. But these days, you can find pretty much every song on youtube and convert it, if you do that kind of thing.
You just blowed my mind. "I Would For You" is the song that I remember most from that album.
Also, I didnt know half the about the album as you did, all I remember was that it was a bad-ass album (from what I remember as a kid) and since you mentioned Jane's, I mentioned XXX.
As an aside, I thoroughly enjoy bands that sound "raw" or unproduced. I like the haphazard nature of unfiltered emotion and negligence.
