Hopefully fixed. 3 vids in a row played and then displayed that legendary line 'this video is no longer available'.

Exactly one of the songs i was referring to!

And here's one of my personal favorite Primus songs, and an example of why I think Larry LaLonde is a sorely underrated guitarist:

I can't embed it, but this will be my eternal favorite song and video by Primus.

YouTube - Primus- Mr.krinkle

All three of them were very talented at what they did. Primus achieved notoriety because they had a dearth of bass-driven songs and hardly any structured lyrics. Yet still, they were fantastic musicians and had the balls to produce such a crazy album like Sailing the Seas of Cheese.

Wait... who are you saying had a dearth of bass-driven songs? Because Primus had a ton of bass-driven songs. Not sure about the lyric thing but the lyrics always seemed pretty structured to me.

Lolz. Dearth = plethora = lots of.

Dearth means "shortage".

I suck.

I thought is was Dark Mall?

Heh. But it was too short.

:p:

Don't worry, it happens.

I think I have a pretty good command of the English language, but you have no idea for how long I thought it was 'as a pose to' as opposed to 'as opposed to'.

This thread is brilliant. Picking a favorite post is like trying to pick my favorite song from Who's Next, but if I had to, it would be this one. Grunge annoys me far more than other genres simply because it should be good.

Well, it was good.

I can get into soul and funk even though i'm not black. I can get into Krautrock even thought i'm not German , yet I just cannot get into this genre of music.

I put southern rock in the same category I put happy hardcore in that I can feel my brain cells melting when I listen to it. I don't know why that should be. Maybe because it's because I feel you have to own a pick up truck and shoot at furry mammals to appreciate it fully , maybe it's because I don't want a peice of music to make me feel like a redneck ... who knows. I don't normally look down on a genre of music if I can help it but in this case I can't help myself. It's like the American equivalent of chav music. In the UK you get chavs in souped up Vauxhall Novas blasting out drum & bass in the US you get rednecks in pick up trucks blasting out Southern Rock. To me it's the same thing.

Amen.

I now understand why you don't like the Allman Brothers. :D

Thanks to how Yes are doing in the hall of fame poll, I just gotta give one more shout out to indie fans.

The only reason I checked out Modest Mouse's old albums is because you told me I loved them.

The Allman Brothers Band are blues rock, not southern rock. Duane Allman was a far better guitarist than Slowhand and Gregg never brought a drawl into his vocals. Skynyrd is southern rock.

And for the most part, people blast country music down south, not southern rock. Much, much worse.

Allman Brothers should be considered blues rock, not Southern rock. Allman Brothers being classified as Southern rock would ruin my whole day. ;)

Ah, beaten to it.

Mine too...

I can honestly say there were very few American bands during the early seventies that rocked as hard as British ones. The Allman Brothers Band were one of 'em, and it would make me very sad to see them compared to the likes of Townes Van Zandt and Lynyrd Skynyrd, especially considering the huge presence of their first three albums (Beginnings, At Fillmore East and Eat a Peach).

I am not a fan of pretty much any Southern Rock except CCR, and I really like the lyrics and arrangement. And Fogerty was awesome.

:rofl:

This thread is pretty great, but the Primus bashing is unnecessary.
Just ignore all the parts that bother you and focus on that twisting,
stop-start superfunky no-limits bass playing.

I agree too.Their music is very complex theoretically and there is also a huge jazz element in much of Allman Bros music that really differentiates it from most of southern rock.

CCR is pretty good. I love Fogarty's guitar playing.

England 1970 World Cup Squad - Back Home
The Fall - Kicker Conspiracy
EnglandNewOrder - World In Motion
Grandad Roberts And His Son Elvis - Meat Pie , Sausage Roll
The Fall - Theme From Sparta FC
Any Half Man Half Biscuit Songs

OK those are the exception to the rule and are actually quite good. The rest I will be happy if I never ever hear again in my life. Anfield Rap , The Manchester Utd squad & Status Quo , Vinda****ingloo , Chas & Dave (Who are actually Crystal Palace fans not Spurs fans), all of them.

It used to be so different , way back when you used to get maybe one song a year for a cup final , maybe another one for a world cup where you'd see loads of footballers in track suits looking uncomfortable on Top Of The Pops having a jolly sing song , the song would scrape into the top 30 then sink back into obscurity just as fast as England got knocked out , and that was it. But then Sky poured their money into the Premier League and so all these plastic celebs come along declaring their life long love of football and what better way to express that passion by making some shitty record convincing the world that ING-URR-LAND are going to win whichever tournament they're taking part in.
Everytime some tournament comes along we're bombarded with these awful novelty records. Who in their right mind wants to hear Ron Atkinson or Terry Venebles crooning swing songs. I mean do you really want to hear a fine band like Echo & The Bunnymen collaborating with the Spice Girls? It happened alright ... for 1998 world cup in an abomination called How Does It Feel (To Be On Top Of The World) as if any England fan knows how that feels. Complete with cheesy video with David Beckham & Victoria lovingly gazing at each other.
It's not just the football songs themselves it's the songs picked up and sung by the terraces. I mean being surrounded in a crowd of people singing Hey Baby by DJ Otzi is enough to make anybody turn to football hooliganism.

Anyway to finish this rant I leave you with quite possibly the biggest abomination of this type ever.

Enjoy

86 : FOOTBALL SONGS[/CENTER]/QUOTE]

So.....uh.....Is that like......Soccer?

I think America's equivalent is the Super Bowl Shuffle.

In our country (and with our football) we have to deal with Gary Glitter and Baha Men, I don't think you got it quite as bad.

I assume thats at the game itself. We get that crap too.
And all this rubbish on top of it.

Don't tell me you've never heard the joy of Baha Men!



Your ears will start bleeding after thirty seconds. Guaranteed.

My 2 year old daughter LIVES for this song!

My condolences.

I don't really think there's that much point in listening to this guy's music. No matter how great you might think it is there's no possible way on earth you can think it's as great as what HE thinks it is.

I have to be honest and say that because I have virtually zero exposure to any music television stations (By choice) and I no longer listen to Radio 1 I have heard very little of his music. All I know is what little I have heard has not made me think that I am in the presence of a genius. In fact to be honest he just sounds like one of many millions of hip hop artists who seemingly run MTV these days and who are more interested in making a brand rather than making any original music. It makes me wonder if he's be better off working in marketing , at least that way he can make him money without polluting my ears with his inferior reheated versions of classic songs that quite frankly are better off without him. I don't care if he's a great producer , I don't care if he has great flow or beats , quite honestly i don't have enough knowledge of hip hop to judge. All I know is I prefer the orginals before he lays his gold encrusted paws all over them.

You think you can improve on Curtis Mayfield's Movin On Up?

F*ck off bling-boy

:thumb:

Kinda contradicted yourself here.

Care to explain?

I hate the fact that i'm forced to both love and hate Hip-hop at the same time. As a genre it has so much unfulfilled potential that gets stunted by greed, and hyper-inflated egos.
