Richerd Elliot - CRUSH

[shack]

Jackson Browne - Late For the Sky THE BEST of all of the Jackson Browne albums (and I have them all). Eight songs, 40 min. 48 sec. of music and I am NEVER tempted to hit the remote to skip a single second. It is that good IMO and one of my top 5 albums of all time.

[Spoonman]

I don't know guys....I'd have to give "Everyman" the nod but agree that both are stellar albums.
IMO they contain some of the finest songs ever written by anyone from the Baby Boom generation.....



Well I’ve been out walking
I don’t do that much talking these days
These days--
These days I seem to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do
For you
And all the times I had the chance to

And I had a lover
It’s so hard to risk another these days
These days--
Now if I seem to be afraid
To live the life I have made in song
Well it’s just that I’ve been losing so long

I’ll keep on moving
Things are bound to be improving these days
These days--
These days I sit on corner stones
And count the time in quarter tones to ten, my friend
Don’t confront me with my failures
I had not forgotten them

as for the topic goes

ben fold's (live)- army

[landry_p2000]

That is bull****. Rap and hip hop are one in the same. Both are part of my culture. Rap is what hip hop artist do in there music. Hip hop is a style of rap.

[swerve]

hip hop was first.

hip hop sounds more educated anyways.... nelly isn't, was, or never will be a hip hop artist.

when i think of rap i think of TV and stupid video's, cars and jewelry... which is unforutnate.

rap stemmed from hip-hop.

i guess if rap would come off from more of an educated standpoint (not saying it's stupid) i guess i could change my opinion.

don't get me wrong... i like rap... but man rap artists now can't be put in the same boat as ones 10-15 years ago. there was still originaliity then...

Yes, hip hop was first. There is a VERY good book out there, Yes Yes Y'all, and it provides a incredibly detailed history on the origin of hip hop and rap.

There are still some great rappers out there. If you don't about them though, then yes, rap is in the gutters. I think its at its lowest point ever, but its going to get worse. I mean, do you really know what Skeet skeet skeet means? Good lord!

My recommendations for you to check out some good rap, although its not all new 2005 stuff, is (I apologize if you already know of them) Dilated Peoples, Del the Funkee Homosapien, Deltron, Blackstar, Mos Def, Jurassic 5, Talib Kweli, Common, The Roots, Blackalicious, Gift of Gab, Jedi Mind Tricks, Peanut Butter Wolf, and thats all I got right now. Also, I hate to admit it, but Eminem and Ludacris are pretty unique.

Bob Marley - buffalo soldier

" Hello mom, how ya doin' its yo son now, and I picked up da mike and put the drugs down. Tryin' to do somethings that will make you proud, instead of everytime I call its to bail me out."

-Nelly

Nelly can be straight gutter, he can flow with melody, brag, or he can spit something positive and educational. I see your point but I also see my own.

Nelly is a rapper/hip hop artist. At least that is what he is classified as. There was jewelry and dookie ropes around RUN D.M.C.s neck, but I will be damnded if they were not hip hop artists. Most rappers or hip hop artist talk about a lot of the same things, and alot of different things also, but, they all deliver a positive message in some songs and other they are bull$h!tt!n about jewelry and cars or women. Hip hop is a culture based music, and rap is braggin' or yackin' about whatever. Both were done by the forefathers and by the newbies. These new artist have plenty of originality. That is what sells millions.

To me one the greatest of our time would be KRS ONE. Check out the album "By Any Means Necessary". That was one of my favorites. The first song called "My Philosophy" was off the hook.
Check it out Swerve if you have not already.

The group that KRS ONE was in is BOOGIE DOWN PRODUCTIONS or BDP.

[MacLeod]

Artists?

Rap and hip hop are the most talentless type of music on earth.

Lets see, you rip off somebody elses music and screw it up and play it over and over again thru a processor.

Then you talk (not sing cause that would take talent so you just talk) about how much money you have and how big your wheels are and how all the chicks want you.

Then you make a video with you standing in a Hummer or some other ridiculously expensive car so everybody knows how much money you have, and have a bunch of chicks dancing around a pool while you wear $45,000 chains around your neck.

Wow! Sheer genius! :rolleyes:

I guess as long as you call it rap or hip-hop or whatever its ok. As long as you dont call it music cause its anything but.

[Shizelbs]

Thats may be true for several of the rap groups, but it does not serve as a proper blanket statement for all groups now, nor the entire history of rap.

There are many good rap musicians out there. Yes, it is a form of music.

[MacLeod]

No, I stand by my statement for ALL rappers and hip-hoppers out there.

Ive nothing against rap really Ive actually been known to listen to a rap song once or twice but I take exception when theyre called musicians or artists.

Now R & B on the other hand I would consider music even tho the music is once agains electronically processed and sampled, at least there is somebody singing which takes talent (unless youre Ashlee Simpson).

[Shizelbs]

Well good sir, you are entitled to your opinion. Should you be interested in some recommendations on the better side of rap, let me know.

[swerve]

There's a plain difference between the Jurasic 5's and Nelly's in the music industry.

I'm sorry but Gift of Gab, Lyrics Born, Blackalicious, Eyedea and Abilities have all been around and can be considered artist.

all these "rappers" are just in it for marketing and money. but the ones that don't sellout (IE the ones i mentioned above) should be considered artists.

Art is a very funny thing to discuss because everyone has a strong viewpoint.

I listen to everything from Bob Dylan to Tupac so obviously my opinion is going to be very different than that of MacLeod's...

good night!

It takes talent to write lyrics, make beats, and as far as flossing your riches goes. That is the persons business. It is entertainment, and it sells millions and millions of records nationwide, and also makes for good dancing at clubs and parties. Not to mention the money that is made by the artist. It is more likely based on your culture or background, where you grew up and the things that you encounter in life to be able to fully grasp the concept of Flossin' your riches. Kids look up to a lot of these positive role model type rappers. Rap/Hip-Hop was a positive outlet for a whole lot of kids that were once in trouble or jailed. That is the main reason that the rappers talk about what they have now, because some of them come from nothing. I am not a jealous person, and I am happy to see a poor person make it rich. If you see a kid and he looks at Nelly or Ludacris, he would turn to rapping to get paid, and therfore this would possibly be a positive outlet to keep them out of trouble moreso than make them sell "crack" or do something stupid of that sort. All rappers are not positive, and those guys should not be exposed to kids ears. I will admit that there are some a$$holes that call themselves artists, that I would never expose my kids to.

The sampling makes for a old school/new school twist. That is how the artists corner the market: get the old heads and the young people listening to a song with old school beats and put lyrics to it. It is genius if you ask me. I will admit that some of the artists screw up the song if they don't do it right.

Every man can call it how he sees it, but that doesn't make him right or wrong. Heck, I would not play Heavy Metal through my system, but I will not critisize it or anyone who likes it. I just don't understand it, therefore it gets no play by me. I could say it is stupid to trash your guitar and amps after a performance, but if your fans like it, hell tear it up! Music is a personal preference and to each his own.

Just my two cents. Carry on gents.

Listening to: Makaveli---The 7 Day Theory: Don Kiluminati

[swerve]

mainstream rap is just getting played out... they need something new or to bring someone new into the game... it's pathetic when John Cena sells more than someone like a Tech N9ne or any other underground rapper in the first week.

now listening to:
Brotha Lynch Hung - Lynch By Inch

[Billm57]

Roger Powell - Cosmic Furnace

In retrospect, I will take back my claim that they are not artists.

As mentioned above art is very subjective and I am the LEAST artistic person in the world so I should be the last one to criticize someone artistic abilities. ;)

Nearly 40 years of vinyl in the vault has been unsealed. I may never spin a CD again! :D

1969 Polydor - a small compilation of some of the 45s that John Mayall's Bluesbreakers recorded between April 1964 and December 1969. Clapton, Taylor, and Green backed my Fleetwood and McVey.

Edith Wilson - He May Be Your Man But He Comes to See Me Once In Awhile

One of the best (IMO) blues/jazz singers ever.

Bob Dylan/The Band - Before the Flood

Dylan's vocals sound like someone has him by the nads -- but, easily overlooked for Robbie's excellent guitar work and solid backing on this live, double recording.

Asylum AB-201 - 1974

[shack]

Hamilton Loomis - All Fired Up and Live

Thanks to Tour2ma I have a copy and gave it a good listen last night and today. This artist is part of Tour's signature and he has been promoting him on this forum.

Because of that, I feel a mini review is in order.

Musically, Loomis delivers. Excellent skills and he obviously has a very good Texas blues, rock, funk pedigree. He has a decent voice that works ok with this genre. Having said that...he needs to let someone else help with the lyrics (he has writing credit for them all). Listening to any one song individually and the lyrics are fine.

The problem is that EVERY song is about:

- She loved me good
- She loved me bad
- I just found love
- I just lost love
- I've got no love
- She's my new love
- She's leaving me
- I'm gettin' laid
- I'm not gettin' laid
- etc....

Just a wee bit one dimensional IMO. I understand that this is THE BLUES...and that he's a guy in his twenties...but please....could we have something about his dog dying, or his boss is a jerk, or his landlord kicking him out, or the weather, or even politics....just something else!

A track came up that was just an instrumental and I found myself really enjoying it for the sheer quality of the music (without the love lyrics).

The kid has a lot of talent and can make really good music. He has started with a formula...but he needs to get beyond that. This is his first CD and possibly his second one has some different themes. Maybe if he teamed up with a good writer...

Anyway, thanks to Tour for this CD. I really enjoyed it a lot. (in spite of my criticism)

Picked this up totally on a fluke. A progressive jazz trio called Niacin. Consists of Billy Sheehan (Bass) John Novello (Hammond B3 Keyboard) & Dennis Chambers (Percussion). If you like the progressive jazz style this is a must have. Never really heard a Hammond organ take front and center. Pretty much replaces a guitar. The other great thing is I got it new for .50c.

The Allman Brothers Band: Legendary Hits

[shack]

Squeeze - East Side Story - Picked this one up in a bargain bin for $2.00. The cut "Tempted" is well worth the price and the other stuff is just ok.

From early 80s British New Wave Pop to.....

C. C. Adcock - Lafayette Marquis - **HIGHLY RECOMMENDED** - Swamp, Zydeco, Blues-Rock. Not a bad song on the disc IMO. Started out backing up acts like Bo Diddley and Buckwheat Zydeco. This guy is good!

[Mike682]

Rush..........Permanent Waves...........Freewill

[heiney9]

Ry Cooder & V.M Bhatt-A Meeting By The River. Won a Grammy 1994 for Best World Album.

Bottleneck guitar & East Indian instruments. Very cool piece of music. Blending acoustic bottleneck guitar blues with New Delhi Indian influences.

Highly recommended if you like acoustic music that is a little adventureous. Always brings a smile :) to my face.

EDIT: I can only imagine how Robert Plant & Jimmy Page would love this music!!

Eric Johnson- "Bloom" new release and damn good too!
next up a Hoosier recommendation that I finally got around to purchasing Roger Waters- "Amused to death" going to the SDA2's for this one.

[shack]

David Crosby - Thousand Roads - Drugs and booze and VERY hard living may have taken their toll on his body (and even his voice to some extent), but this gun totin', liver transplanted, ex-con can still sing. His voice at 50% is better than anyone who ever set foot on the stage of American Idol or any member of any "Boy Band"!

And his guitar playing isn't too bad either....

Yes, they did. Another discovery from MY vault. Not sure how they are going to replace Michael Hutchence, though. Especially if they choose a female. Should be interesting.

Babyface---Tender Lover (Whip Appeal)

[heiney9]

Shea Seger-May Street Project

A soulful voice, a lively taste of alterna song writing set to boom-box drums & bass, Nashville strings, swirling synth, ambient sounds, and crunching guitars…..Damn thing is already OOP, only the Jap version is avail. One of my favorite cd’s I don’t listen to often enough.
Production is a tiny bit ragged, but it adds to the overall funky/edgey sound which compliments Shea's soulful voice. Think Joss Stone meets Fiona Apple.

On an R.E.M kick lately:

R.E.M...Eponymous

[shack]

Jimi Hendrix - Band of Gypsys - pulled this one out since MC said Hendrix was boring and irrelevant now.


Aw, Hendrix is crap. Aren't you just TIRED of hearing the same songs played over and over on the radio, "Hendrix's Greatest Hits"? They are so boring.
You won't hear any of this stuff played on the radio but it is among his best work (Hendrix wrote 4 of the six). Along with drum great Buddy Miles and bass player Billy Cox, this live show at the Filmore on New Years Eve 1969 is a wonderful album. Every bit as good of a "power trio" as Cream (and I really like Cream). Miles' version of "Changes" is better on his live album with Carlos Santana...but Hendrix puts an interesting interpretation on this song. 22 minutes of "Who Knows" and "Machine Gun" alone are worth the price of the album.


Not crap....not boring....timeless!

[TroyD]

Not RIGHT now but earlier today I picked up Lucinda Williams Live @ the Filmore on LP.....good stuff there, I tell ya.

Although I do like the direction Hendrix was going w/BOG I must say Buddy Miles is pretty bland as a drummer compared to Mitch Mitchell. MM just adds so much excitement. He's always playing out of his mind, always on the edge, but seems to pull it off brilliantly. His strict jazz style of playing has no equal and really lent to the "space trip" you sometimes get listening to Hendrix. Buddy was much more conventional in style and tended to lay a soild backbone to the rythum section. A different approach w/much different results.

I can see where MC may feel this way especially about some of the common studio stuff. Live Hendrix is where it's at. Check out some of the BOG songs with Mitch on the drums. Most live Hendrix really allows you to get your Groove On...IMO

Buddy Miles -Changes

A little too soulful for me, not enough groove. My impression may change but I doubt it. Really sounds dated; a couple good tracks. Overall won't be in my rotation. I paid next to nothing for it a while ago so I took a chance, with mediocre results. Everytime I dig in my music pile I discover something lost and forgotten.
