Darth_Kurdt Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 A lot of people just listen to songs for aesthetic quality and dont take note of the lyrics, i'm not one of them - it just explains the popularity of stuff like house music and to a lesser extent artists with mostly mash up lyrics like chili peppers and david bowie. ....and the vast majority of hip hop <_< <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not so sure about the Bowie thing quite a few of his songs had hidden meanings to them. e.g. Ashes to Ashes (the story of a superstar submersed into a world of narcotics) . But yeah its the poppy music hooklines that people buy records for on the majority, I guess thats why Chili peppers scored hits with the other side (weepy guitar solo which becomes progressively more energetic) etc. But when an artist can both write great lyrics and tunes thats something to respect imo.

Darth Flatus Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 For a lot of his songs bowie used a random lyric generator. Not all, but its quite obvious to pick them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Satasn Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 for me...the melody of the music is ALOT more improtant than the lyrics..but I dont mean the hook...I could care less about hooks....classical music had no hooks...but the melodies could strike u in ways lyrics and hooks couldnt.... thats why I like alot of bands that can sing falcetto and I incoorperate that with my music too... I try to mix good music with good lyrics...sometimes I'll make traditional music with much better lyrics, and sometimes I do vice versa..its all about range... Noone will ever write better lyrics than Bob dylan, tho, I dont care what ANYONE says about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaftan Barlast Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 lol yeah...I guess my stuff has to suck to be good now a days...I bet you think william hung is good too just because he is different and doesnt follow a norm... Well, I am known to be one hell of a harsh music critic. Im the one to ask if you want the truthful opinion. And you did put your songs out on an internet forum, you cant be pissed that you got some critiscism. Your music is written with some skill and your singing voice is good but its nothing we havent heard before. Mind you, that doesnt mean you wont be able to make a career in music. I can imagine a lot of people would like your music and buy your album and not give a damn that its not very original. Record companies look for artists who can sell records and thats it. ...and classical music has plenty of hooks, what else would you call the Night Queens aria in Mozart's The Magic Flute? Songs must have hooks, otherwise we wont remember them well enough to want to listen to them a second time. now playing: Kebnekajse - Saab mustang DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner.

Fascism starts with killling all, who has different political opinions than yours. It's a pity for earth as it is full of fascists claiming to be democratic.

Darth Drabek Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 I do like Morrissey, but to elevate him to Dylan's level is a little extreme. They both have been quite pretentious on occasion, but I would venture that more of Dylan's writes more songs with deeper meanings than Moz. Morrissey makes good use of flashy wordplay, but Dylan does it without showing off. And nobody can tell a story like Bobby D. There's nothing in Morrissey's catalog that can stand next to The Hurricane, Desolation Row or Changing of the Guard. Listening to: The Beautiful Side of Somewhere, the new single from The Wallflowers. I totally forgot about these guys for a long time, but they recently released a solid album called "Rebel, Sweetheart." The songs and arrangements have a very Tom Petty-esque feel to them. In the same vein, Ryan Adams' new album, "Cold Roses," might be his best. It's back to his alt-country roots, which is where he makes his best work. Also: The Cars - My Best Friend's Girl Rancid - Red Hot Moon Stereophonics - She Takes Her Clothes Off Ted Leo & the Pharmacists - Six Months in a Leaky Boat (I talked to Ted Leo for five minutes or so after his show last week in Cleveland. Real approachable guy, eager to talk to fans, just like you'd expect him to be. The show was awesome, as well.) Sorry for the length - I'm on dial-up now (Everybody groan) so my long absences necessitate long posts upon my return to this, the only thread I frequent these days. :D One more thing - Solar Plexus is a sweeeeet band name. baby, take off your beret everyone's a critic and most people are DJs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvershadow Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 For work purposes -- and PURELY for work purposes -- I'm currently listening to Jessica Simpson's cover of "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'". Now, I had really low expectations before I started listening to it, as I cannot stand Jessica Simpson... but it's even worse than I thought. I'm feeling a little nauseous. Do yourselves a favour, and never EVER listen to this track under ANY circumstance. If you're in a store and you hear it... RUN! I really wish my brain had a "memory wipe" feature.
