Music

I couldn't find a thread for this music genre, which is a genre in itself (and a great genre!) Here's how I would define its "Genealogy", by summarizing it in therms of "Big genres", which of course have many subgenres, and by trying to give dates, knowing that it's a general "tendancy" (e.g. you still have Blues bands or Blues derivative bands today) (I know there are many many other ways to define music genres and that it's almost certain to have disagreements on this topic, but here's my way of summarizing it - feel free to agree or disagree ): Pre 1940s: It all started with Blues which, for the Rock world, the equivalent of "the Ancients"…

Apparently committed suicide by hanging himself?

Just country music. It's not always great, not always good. Sometimes it's good, and sometimes it's great. In any case, if you want to share your thoughts, your music links or anything you like

Please share your angry music or any other noisy/harmonious/disharmonious sounds that give energy to the beast.

A thread dedicated to OSTs ! For those who love music from movies, TV series or games

Okay! So say the truth. How many of you love Justin Bieber?

Different forms of art always influence each other in some way and there's quite a special relation between music and literature. Be it by musicalizing a specific work, such as a piece of poetry, or by taking inspiration by a novel or tale. Examples are many, both in Classical Music and in Popular Music. I'll start with one of my favorite bands taking inspiration from one of my favorite literary works: Led Zeppelin and J.R.R. Tolkien's works. There's many of these - Robert Plant is quite a Tolkien fan - so I'll start with these two: The Battle Of Evermore with some The Silmarillion and The Lord Of The Rings elements in it: …

So the idea is to post those you think are the best with the instrument. Those masters of the 6 strings that leave you at awe when listening what they are capable to do with a guitar. Those with beyond human technical abilities, incredible speed, or simply exquisite taste and clean sound. Since Rock is one of the genres where guitar is the more prominent, it may be that most posts here will be related to Rock music, but hopefully we'll see great guitarists from every other genre too. From Blues, to Jazz, Flamenco, Classical and more. I'll start with probably my favorite guitarist ever, and such a huge influence on many generations to come that star…

Post your favorite songs from the 00's. The early 00's had some good music, but not as good as the 80's or 90's imo. Still good though.

Well that's it. What concerts have you been to? And of those which have been your favorites? Mine: 2006 Deep Purple My first concert ever. Los Jaivas Deep Purple Yes, again 2007 Velvet Revolver with Bad Religion opening Eddie C. Campbell Paul Gilbert Caetano Veloso My dad and sister were going to this and since concert tickets were still cheap back then I went too. Toto 2008 Iron Maiden I won at this thing at radio show and got to be on stage with some other fans during the song Heaven Can Wait. Awesome moment and awesome concert Monsters of Rock: Black Label Soc…

It's not a strange thing to hear these days that "Rock is dead" or that "Rock is dying". I couldn't disagree more, and there's lots of new bands out there making awesome music and revitalizing the genre. Some are going back to the origins with a more retro sound though still sounding fresh, while others push boundaries exploring new sounds. Both points of view with some great artists making noise. I'll start with one of my favorites bands of this era: Rival Sons From their latest album released last year: Open My Eyes I love their retro sound and that Led Zeppelin - Bluesy vibe they have.

I love some old 50's Rock n' Roll and Rockabilly. What do you think of these genres? Your favorite artists? And as the poll says: Who's the real King of Rock n' Roll for you? For me it's Chuck Berry. The one who really gave Rock n' Roll it's true form and made the guitar it's main instrument. He was one of the first showmen in the genre too, AND he wrote his own songs. I love Elvis and all, but the true King for me is Chuck Berry. If not, it could be Little Richard. Let's start with some music of course Chuck Berry - Johnny B. Goode As a genre it takes most of it's sound from the Blues, the urban and electrified Blues from places like Chicago and…

As the title says, lets post song that sound similar to some other. I'm not necessarily talking about plagiarism here, though it might be in some cases. But songs that at least coincidentally share some similarities in melody, harmony or such with some other work. I'll start with this song from Rival Sons' first album: Pocketful of Stones This band owes a lot of it's sound to Led Zeppelin, but that song in particular sounds a lot like these 2: Houses of the Holy And Dancing Days

Anyone else here who likes listening Classical music? I began paying real attention to this music little more than a year and a half ago, though I enjoyed it before. So far my favorites have been from the Romantic period, such as Beethoven (though is Late Classic/Early Romantic too), Wagner and Mahler. So who are your favorite composers? Favorite pieces of music? Some music of course, and one of my favorites: Ludwig van Beethoven; 9th Symphony, 1st mov. It doesn't have any information about the orchestra or who's conducting...

does anyone understand what they say from 1:51 to 1:55 ?? :55??

So this should be fun, right? Post your favourite fictional bands and/or artists from the big and small screen.

Blues is one of my favorites genres, and also one of my biggest influences. It is also the biggest influence and the base for almost all of today's popular music, from Jazz, going through Soul, Rhythm and Blues, Pop, Funk, Rap, and being also the origins of Rock n' Roll, Hard Rock and even the most brutal Metal genres you can imagine. One it's most basic forms is written around 3 chords and the Blue Notes, that give the Blues it's characteristic sound. On it's most traditional form it follows a 12-bar pattern around the mentioned 3 chords: I - IV - V; which means: If we are on C major, those chords would be: C major - F major and G major. But instead of going…

I suppose I should keep this going I'll start it off with an awesome cover of Journey's Don't Stop Believing by The Jezabels

Being discovered on Youtube in the recent years has become a huge trend. I love finding new music and listening to covers. So here post your favorite artists and there original songs or covers. Avery is a very, very talented young girl who signed with Universal records. She has recorded music with producers who worked with Avril L., Cody Simpson, Justin Bieber, and Demi Lovato.

So, do you like Punk Rock? What do you think about it? Well, I'm not the biggest Punk listener, and I'm not THAT familiar with the genre, as I am with another kinds of Rock music. So it would be great to get some feedback and recommendations in this thread too. I listened quite some Punk though when I was 14 - 15 years old, specially the '70s Punk: the bands I listed in the poll. Around that time actually I started writing my own songs, inspired by The Sex Pistols. As for the poll, I listed the "first" three important bands of the genre, as there are so many other around the end of the '70s, early '80s. My vote there goes to The Clash Some music: Proba…

So... What do you think about Grunge? Which bands you like? For my part, I never considered it that much as a musical genre, but rather a movement. Bands with a similar background, from more or less the same area, and around the same time (Stone Temple Pilots being the exception to almost all of this). My favorite band here would be Alice in Chains, followed by Soundgarden maybe. About the poll: I only included the most know bands, though there's a lot more amazing bands from the Seattle area around the late 80s-early 90s. Such as Screaming Trees, Green River, Mudhoney, Mother Love Bone, etc... And of course, some music: Alice in Chains - Them Bones

All of the other instruments are usually anyone's game to most people. However, many see the drums, bass and the electric guitar (not the acoustic as much) to be a man's game generally. That said, there are women that hold their own in these departments .

This may or may not be of interest.. For those unaware, Triple J is a national Australian radio station, and every year they hold a poll for the country's favourite songs of the year, called the Hottest 100. It bills itself as the 'largest music poll in the world', and gets over 1 million votes (every year seems to get bigger, with 2012/13 getting a record 1.5 million). It's a real institution in this country, and just this weekend they had a special mid-year vote for the 'Hottest 100 of the past 20 years', to celebrate the 20 year anniversary of the countdown. The list: 100. Beastie Boys - Intergalactic 99. Lana Del Rey - Video Games 98. Jebediah - Leaving Home 97…

The Kills is a rock band formed by American singer Alison Mosshart ("VV") and British guitarist Jamie Hince ("Hotel").

The album peaked at #47 on the U.K. Albums chart, while the single "Fried my Little Brains" peaked at #55 on the UK Singles chart.
