Starter Kit
 

In honor of right-track's quest to educate people about northern soul, I am starting this thread with the intention of pointing people on the right track.

The idea is to choose a genre you enjoy, and post a list of songs for the beginner to listen to. A starting point of exploration into new fields of music. For instance, I have heard a lot about this emo stuff. Perhaps I'll take 10 songs and put them on a cd and listen for a while, see if it grows, and maybe I will expand.

Anyway, I'll start off with Big Band music.

Take the A-Train
Opus One
In the Mood
Jivin' the Vibes
One O'clock Boogie
Begin the Beguine
Sing Sing Sing
Kalamazoo
String of Pearls
Pennsylvania 6-5000


There are plenty more, but there's 10 for a start.

Jr. could you make a .rar file and upload it to YSI? I've been meaning to listen to some Big Band but I don't know where to begin.

I've no idea what that is. LOL.

Oh noes its propaganda!

Anyways, when im not typing up homework ill check out those tracks later (a couple of hours or so).


Emo/Screamo

Circle Takes The Square "Non-Objective Portrait Of Karma"
Trophy Scars "Baby Eskimo Kisses"
Sunny Day Real Estate "Rain Song"
Rites Of Spring "End On End"
Indian Summer "Angry Son"
Saetia "Some Natures Catch No Plagues"
I Have Dreams "Countless rooftops"
Hot Cross "Frozen By Tragedy"
Amanda Woodward "Binaire Et Lisible"
La Quiete "Ciò Che Siamo, Ciò Che Non Vogliamo"


EDIT: moses if im able to download all of them ill send them to you.

Oh, I forgot to mention....I can't wait for the fighting to start.

"That's not emo!"
"You call that punk? You've got to be kidding!!"
"There's no way that's hip hop!"

LOL.

Dude, like half of those arent even emo

Understandable, if you have them all on you computer could you go to ftp://mosesandtherubberducky.myftp.org and at the login promp use the name/pass imagiver/notastealer and drag and drop those songs into the upload folder. If you get an error or something then don't bother just for the sake that it could be due to a number of reasons and I can always bum them off of Ethan.

which ones and why?

I was kidding.

Right then... *cracks fingers and rolls up sleeves*
Here's your chance to get on the right track and save your sorry souls.

Note: This is by no means a definitive top 10 of N/S...it's impossible.

Anyone having trouble getting hold of these, let me know and I will find a way to send them. :)

oh, heh, i feel dumb

brit-pop

radiohead- high and dry
oasis- talk tonight
placebo- every you every me
blur- out of time

fools gold

Since I love this style of heavy, bass drenched, psychedelica music I figured I'd deal a few picks for you. This isn't a definitive 'best ever' list, I'm just trying to give a decent range of artists. You need good quality speakers for this music to be at it's best!

I figured I'd do 10, and I'd try to get alot of diffrent styles incorportated, quote me and add more if you want, folk is some universal I know I left off a lot of huge names.

Isn't that song by Harry Chapin?
Perhaps Cat Stevens did a cover or the original and I just didn't know...

To be honest that's not a very good starter kit or list at all. I'll be nice and add a few for you.

Phil Ochs - Power And The Glory
Joan Baez - The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down
Woody Guthrie - This Land Is Your Land

I like this band. Probably because they took alot of their sound from Wire.

nein!! focus on one or the other. Do Speed metal. leave Extreme to me :)

Melodic Death Metal
1. At The Gates - Slaughter Of The Soul
2. In Flames - The Jester Race
3. Carcass - Heartwork
4. Dark Tranquillity - Skydancer
5. Amon Amarth - The Crusher
6. Arsis - A Celibration Of Guilt
7. Hypocrisy - Abducted
8. Death - The Sound Of Perserverance
9. Kalmah - Swampsong
10. In Flames - Subterranean

I said extreme since speed is considered a genre or somthing. Ill fix the title.

im reeeeally not very good at this, selecting out particular songs to define a genre but i thought i'd give reggae a go. if i **** this up one of you better salvage it good.

misty in roots - how long jah
bob marley - iron lion zion
black uhuru - sponji reggae
justin hinds and the dominoes - carry go bring home
king tubby - king of king in dub
john browns body - jah works
black uhuru - every dreadlocks
garnett silk - 21
cornell campbell - they cant get me out
prince far i - right way.

well there we are i gave it a shot.

You're going to start people who don't listen to folk with Woody Guthrie? If the production doesn't put them off, then his voice will. Look my list was created so that people who were into vastly diffrent music could have an easy time getting in. I didn't create it so you could dive headlong into the snobbery conversations, and furthermore, I put Bruce's version of the song on there because they get the general idea without having to get by superficial hold-ups.

In this regard, I think my list is very good. Next time maybe more Ashlee Simpson.

And bungalo, yeah im pretty sure he covered it. But covers aren't off the mark here, I mean as i've already said, Springsteen is covering Guthrie. its less aout artists and more about the actual music.

Ashlee Simpson isn't a folk artist TheBig3KilledMyRainDog.

well it depends what vocal track shes lip-syching to, but would you say with my original intention it was a good list?

Yes, it's pretty good. Maybe the addition of some bands like Against Me or similar bands in that folk punk vein.

Well right, I'd love to have added more. But alas, the world has only so long to live.

k, i'm bored and can't sleep so I am gonna go more indepth on the emo thing seeing as that list was kind of everywhere.
