ComradeYellow Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 Millennial here absolutely digging on much of these boomer female artists who were in their prime. Take Cyndi Lauper for instance Look at the way she rolls out her lyrics and manages perfect expressions at the same time. What a woman! Chauvinism takes a back seat here.
Bartimaeus Posted October 31, 2019 Posted October 31, 2019 ...You ever read a person's post and instantly get the feeling "this is not a genuine poster - real people (i.e. people who are not trying to play a character) don't talk this way"? @algroth ...I know absolutely nothing about this band, haha - was just trying to link a working video. I'm so very particular about vocalists that I can't listen to most music, which makes my opinion for music pretty negligible for most people, . Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.
Keyrock Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 (edited) Rush's last prog epic, I think (if you can call 9 minutes an "epic"), off Permanent Waves, the album that was the transition from prog to mainstream hard rock. Moving Pictures had a little bit of prog on it and they snuck some here and there in later albums, but this was pretty much it for length multi-part prog pieces. The drum fills and breakdowns are phenomenal on this track, even by Neil Peart standards. Edit: Actually, Moving Pictures had The Camera Eye on it, so disregard what I wrote about this being the last prog epic.

Keyrock Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 (edited) One of Zappa's most infamous pieces. The drum part, in particular, is ludicrously complicated. I would not be surprised if Zappa wrote this piece specifically to troll Terry Bozzio.

Gorth Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 Rammstein live...at least one thing both Russians and Germans seems to agreed on appreciating Someone mentioned Cyndi Lauper. What can I say, the first half of the 80's holds a lot of nostalgic value for me. 1 “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein

Gromnir Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 ok, so brittany howard has an amazing voice and sound, but that corner with the bassist and the drummer is absolute funktastic. had no idea 'til we saw this tiny desk concert that nate smith were her drummer. has been less than a year since we applauded a jazz musician on these boards, and no doubt doing so will bring down fire and thunder 'pon us from the musical gods, but we had to give proper recognition to mr. smith, even if he is only sorta/kinda jazz. regardless, fact brittany howard has such a superlative worthy drummer means we will listen to her music with some anticipation for near future.

Agiel Posted December 4, 2019 Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) The closed captions are what takes this to the next level. Fun fact for non-French speakers, a certain four-letter word is <<baise>>, meaning the band's name is "McF***". Edited December 4, 2019 by Agiel Quote “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.” -Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>> Quote "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete." -Rod Serling
