What is with music these days?

[The Chairman]

I concur. What made Ringo a great drummer is that he couldn't hear anyone else half of the time (screaming fans, man), yet still managed to keep in time.

The Beatles anthology DVD boxset is a must buy for all you Ringo fans...

As a side note, don't you think that Back Off Boogaloo sounds just like Franz Ferdinand's Take Me Out? Of course, this does nothing for my argument against new music lacking originality, but I just thought I'd mention it anyways...

I actually think Zeppelin's "Trampled Underfoot" sounds like "Take Me Out". I actually do really like "Take Me Out".

Ringo's my second favorite Beatles. My first favorite is George.

I like 'em all equally. In my favorite bands, I don't have a favorite member, because everyone contributes equally to making the music great.

 

[KingOfDreams]

Oh sure, everybody contributed equally. George's personality is much like my own so that's why I like him the best. All of them are great, but Lennon and McCartney did have the tendecy to be pricks sometimes.

The thing is most mainstream sucks. Throughout every gereration it's sucked.

George Harrison's solo stuff is amazing.

Yeah, it really is. I still miss him. R.I.P. George.

 

[Man-Thing]

Shakira is really good.

 

[KingOfDreams]

She has a decent voice but I don't think she'd be nearly as popular as she is if she wasn't so sexy.

 

[PLAS]

Shakira is really good.

you should listen to the albums she did before she dyed her hair blode and decided to water down what she was doing so great ten years ago

she wasn't my favorite, but she had much more integrity in her music

and no, it's not saying that she sold out as soon as she crossed over to the north american market, she sold out before that, but her first two albums make her current productions sound wimpy and lame

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

Ha, I'm so out-of-it I thought this thread was called "What is with muscles these days."

 

[Erzengel]

Actually I haven't seen him around.......

 

[ScottyBBadd]

As far as music these days...beats me.
