I don't like the utmost electronic dance with only a beat and a chaos nor rap when there is no melody at all. I absolutely love George Shearing, classical music too; I do like variety and many kinds of music, rock and pop too.
Most irritating is total repetitiveness and soullessness. Listening, but not concentrating (=radio), makes it difficult to spot interesting artists and demands a lot from the song/performance to make me stop and take notice. (Rihanna mostly falls into the category of flegmatic, irritates on radio, watched her 777 tour gig in London, not impressed).
Aleksandra's list will be very interesting to check out (at first sight the most familiar to me with positive connotations are Red Hot Chili Peppers, REM and Nirvana; I have heard some Blur and Faith No More - oh, and Guns'n'Roses of course, others are just names). Thanks for the tips ntlglamp, too. I saved your links, maybe I know some of their bands or learn something new.
This kind of sharing and discussion I have missed here, thank you for daring to step out of 'news' path. |

WOW! I am away for two and a half days, and I come to Adamtopia´s new facade, and renovated interior design. I have to get used to the new features, but so far so good :  Missing our special Atop smilies, though. Thanks Q3 for the description of the changes on the first page  |

Thanks for your Sunday essay, Holst:))) Okay, this is re Holst's post and I'm consciously taking the risk of outing myself as a ... whatever the opposite of vocal connoisseur is... Here are the pop rock male voices (in 80s, 90s) which I love, a lot, and their music. (Bowie not included, Adam and he are in a league of their own): Anthony Kiedis, RHCP Axl Rose, G'N'R Brett Anderson, Suede Thom Yorke, Radiohead Damon Albarn, Blur, Gorillaz Kurt Cobain, Nirvana Richard Ashcroft, The Verve Mike Patton, Faith No More Michael Hutchence, INXS Michael Stipe, REM etc... |

Aleksandrkv, I just had to respond to your post, but I haven't figured out the new "quote" thing yet. I LOVE the music if the 90's. These songs were the soundtrack of my high school and college days. I love Michael Stipe just as much as Adam. I also loved Eddie Vedder, Matthew Sweet, Morrissey.
There is a lot of good music out there and unique voices amongst all the drek.

He also mentioned that there was a study of some sort that measured, um, diversity of music or something? That somehow quantified the vocabulary and range of musical tones used in popular songs.... and he said it proved that in the last couple of decades (since the late 90s or so) there's been a sharp decline in those measures for songs commonly heard on the radio. No idea where he got that from - has anyone else heard of something like that? If it's true, then it might validate our complaints. :D Yes, I have read that, and it was easy to find by googling "Music Variety Measurements", or even better, "Music Getting More Boring" Here is the popular article: blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/2012/07/26/is-pop-music-evolving-or-is-it-just-getting-louder/
And this is the actual research, with all the underlying math: www.nature.com/srep/2012/120726/srep00521/full/srep00521.htmlEnjoy! |
