Today's Music Sucks? Bear With Me, Dawg!

Yeah, but have you ever heard Let's go slumming the way it should have been recorded in the first place?

[John 3_19-21]

The best thing in pure rock I’ve heard lately is Grace Potter. Not bad on the eyes either.

[PROCON]

Lies. There's even good NEW stuff.

Music is so subjective!

I listened to Kill It Kid and it was amateurish to me after having listened to the greats of the past: Moody Blues, Beachboys, Dooby Brothers, The Eagles, etc.

No cut on your music, it just doesn't do it for me.

Love Fitz & The Tantrums! Check out The Steel Wheels for cool Americana/bluegrass.

LORDY!

That is the way to start the day!

Early Modern Jazz — you an FEEL them work through new ideas of the time — the rawness of what is now taken so for granted is like an exposed nerve (in a good way).

Thanks for this — another for my favorites YT collection!

[Revolting cat!]

Well, sure. You could have been listening to Mitch Miller and Ethel Merman in the 1950s.

“You’re so square, baby I don’t care!”

I’m crazy about F&TT. Will check out Steel Wheels, thanks.

Grace Potter:

"I got beauty,
I got class,
I got style,
I got ass!"

Like, wow! And she's too short.

Unless they try to play it too darn fast.

Agreed, and though I wouldn't go out of my way to compare them to great rock bands of the 70s, it is nice to know that a group of 22-year-olds can still play their instruments. Personally I'm more of a fan of their acoustic stuff (it's more folk-oriented) but since the thread kinda morphed into rock...

Back in the 70s when studio time was at a premium, you had better to have known what you were doing, extra takes cost $$$.

[USARightSide]

Moody Blues - ahhhhhh !

Can’t even remember the year I heard this music on my nephew’s car cassette player. Asked him who it was, and got hooked - - but I’m not a fanatic and know all their stuff.

Revert to Sinatra when I need a ‘fix.’
Also ‘GLAD,’ of Christian music.
Broadway tunes - - Patriotic marches.
Okay - I’m all over the map - like Mahler, too!!!

>>Unless they try to play it too darn fast<<

And lose the beauty of the melody...

[Fiji Hill]

Yeah, but have you ever heard Let's go slumming the way it should have been recorded in the first place?

Haven't heard that version before!

Here's a version from WWII by Charlie & His Orchestra, c. 1941:

Let's go bombing! Take me bombing!
Just like good ol' British airmen do.
Let us bomb the Frenchmen who were once our allies.
England fights for liberty, we make them realize, from the skies.
Let's go shelling where they're dwelling,
Shelling Nannette, Fifi and Lulu.
Let us go to it! Let's do it!
Let's sink their food ships, too.
Let's go bombing. It's becoming quite the thing to do.

I heard the Salsa version of “Clocks”, I like it better than the original.
