Battle of the Bands

[ChumpDumper]

Ok here goes...

I use music as a drug, I need a fix. I want the sound to take me somewhere, either fit a mood or put me in a mood. Now if you know of a lot of bands/artists you have a wider variety to choose from when trying to get your fix. You aren't as limited as someone less knowledgeable about music. Which brings me to...The Clash. If I'm back at 19 or so I haven't heard enought stuff to know what's really good...yet. At 30, 40 or 50 it's a whole different deal, now you have heard enought to know what's good. It's not that The Clash are bad, it's that there is just far too much out there that's better. Obviously at 19, you'd not aware of this at 30 etc you are.

I can't think of a mood/situation I could be in where...The Clash..is want I'd need to get my fix. Give me one scenario where...The Clash....would be the way to go.

Great. Not everyone uses music as a drug, so get over it.

When were you elected the judge?

The really great bands had a ton of great albums and hit records. Take away London Calling and where are The Clash? Seriously think about that.

Ok it's like this....

Punk, rap and hip hop are beneath me. Silly ass music that you out grow. I'm into music that stays with you, music performed by talented artists.

Ok it's like this....

Recycled boring blues rock is beneath me. It's all been done before and better. It's uninspired and easy. It's limited in lyrical content, chord progression and scale. It takes me nowhere I haven't been before. I outgrew that a long time ago. I want to hear something unique, innovative . . . something that moves my soul.

I don't care what some yahoo on yahoo thinks. Where's the credibility? I provided credible sources.

I think we're all like that's why I also listen to a ton of current bands.

But.......we can all go there, , just turn on the radio. I sometimes like to go places most have never been. You've never set there nursing a beer, chilling with some candles and incense listening to....Alice Moore singing about going to prison, followered by Bukka White and another of his classic train songs, next up....Henry Spaulding (one record) singin' bout.....Cairo. It's very cool.

Of course this is also.

You're wrong.

[Avante]

You're wrong.

So you punk/rap/hip hop is focusing in on that well adjusted successful 45 year old man with a family?

[ohmwrecker]

I think I can answer that question if you rephrased it so it made sense.

[ChumpDumper]

What does one have to do with the other?

[ohmwrecker]

It's weird that you can't even rap your head around a well adjusted, successful person with a family that also listens to punk and/or hip hop.

Ya walk into a kicker bar, chances are no Iggy Pop. You see a gang of young black dude chillin' with some sounds, chances are no Willie Nelson. This is no different.

Where do you live again?

[ohmwrecker]

What if I told you I knew hundreds of people who are in their forties, well adjusted, successful with a family who also listen to punk and hip hop . . . Is your mind, just like, totally blown by that information?

It's completely different, actually.
