It's also for those who want people to think they know about music.

yup... I have a jazz station or two on my pandora, but it's just for easy listening while I'm working. I don't know much of anything about advanced music techniques and theory, I just enjoy listening to it.Gaucho wrote:What if I simply like jazz?

Jazz is the only form of music that was invented in this country which has not been improved by people from Britain. For that reason alone, I'm all for it.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
Have you never heard of the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin? Zep in particular took the sound of the Mississippi Delta and put it through a Marshall stack and invented a whole new kind of music. (Granted, as has been discussed elsewhere, they flat out stole much of their early repertoire)PensFanInDC wrote:Blues was improved by the British?

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
To continue the point, The Stones started out as a blues cover band essentially. Even the name of the band is a Muddy Waters song...it was a little bit before they wrote their own music and much of it was not very lyrically gifted (not sure it really ever was outside some Brian Jones influenced stuff) and often "started over" completely - like The Citadel. A lot of stuff of theirs that I'm really into now (mainly because I'm just learning about it more in the last little while) is the old blues covers...tifosi77 wrote:Have you never heard of the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin?

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
I'm sorry but if you consider Zeppelin, The Beatles, or Rolling Stones blues bands (and not rock bands) I don't know what to tell you. They are certainly blues influenced (as all rock is) but they are certainly not blues bands. Would you find these bands in the blues section of a record store (what's a record store?)

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
I mean, really they all have roots back to the Baroque period, so really you could consider them all Baroque as well.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
No one said they were blues bands. The assertion was that they took blues music and improved it and made it something better.PensFanInDC wrote:I'm sorry but if you consider Zeppelin, The Beatles, or Rolling Stones blues bands (and not rock bands) I don't know what to tell you.

In the same way that modern birds are dinosaurs, sure. But I'm talking about something being the next step in the evolutionary chain. Band B took music from Artist A and made something new and interesting out of it. I think it's pretty much a straight line A-to-B kind of thing from Muddy Waters to The Stones. Don't take my word for it, Muddy himself famously said, "They stole my music, but gave me my name."count2infinity wrote:I mean, really they all have roots back to the Baroque period, so really you could consider them all Baroque as well.

For the record, I don't consider the Stones to be a "blues band".PensFanInDC wrote:I'm sorry but if you consider Zeppelin, The Beatles, or Rolling Stones blues bands (and not rock bands) I don't know what to tell you.

I listen to Acid House Country sung by Brits. Or whatever genre Alabama3 has themselves in these days.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
May I suggest you get a copy of the Beauborg album from new-age artist Vangelis?:Sarcastic wrote:lol... I wasn't serious with that tune. That's Free Jazz. It's one big mess. Probably the worst kind of music there is. I like to drive my mom crazy in the car when I'm driving her somewhere.
[youtube][/youtube]
I will admit to being a Vangelis fan, and I do own Beauborg on CD, but I don't really listen to it. It's long been rumored that Vangelis wanted out of his record contract with RCA, but RCA said that the contract required him to make one more album. So he gave them.... this. Back when I was an A/V and audio tech in college, I used this CD for speaker checks. It's actually quite good for that task, as the first few minutes includes highs, low bass, and stereo pans from side to side. The reaction I'd get from others never failed to amuse.
