Any other Beatles' fans here? The band was founded by John Lennon around 1956, under the name "The Quarrymen" in Liverpool. They started playing skiflle: covers and some original songs. In October 1957 Paul McCartney joined the band, and under his recommendation, George Harrison was included in 1958. That year, The Quarrymen recorded two songs: one was a Buddy Holly cover, and the other one a McCartney/Harrison original. By 1960, and after going through several names, the band was now called The Beatles. They were now in Hamburg, in Germany, playing in local clubs as the Indra, The Kaiserkeller, and The Top Ten club. While in Hamburg they entered the recording studio, t…

I'll start with a Pulp song, which was actually released on Christmas Eve last year, but who remembers that <_< It was written some years ago, but was just recently produced and released in this form.. dunno if it's a sign of more new stuff to come from them or not. I hope so though! James Murphy was one of the producers to work on it too - he sure has been getting around since LCD Soundsystem broke up

So at long last, we now have a designated area to highlight debatable or factually inaccurate song lyrics. For instance... "Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon" - It most certainly does not, Vanessa. "There won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time" - Yes there will, they even have ski resorts. And so on and so forth.

She is in Peru haha Seriously Ani Rodriguez, peruvian singer, sings like Amy

New thread for a new year! :Dinah: Heard a new Shins song today.. can't wait for the album!

I would really appreciate if you could tell me if this Music Style Tree Diagram is correct.

I do think that we need a thread like this. There are so many music videos out there - good ones, bad ones. Some actually underline the message of the song, some carry the feeling of it. Just go ahead and start - any year, genre, singer/band. Doesn't matter as long as you feel the need of sharing it (out of praise or criticism and everything in-between...)

Seen a few complaints in another thread that rock has died in the new millenium, but I find this is totally untrue and this thread means to prove it. Maybe some have this theory in mind, because rock is different than it used to be, not such mainstream huge bands to hit the charts, but it is definitely there. Spread into different subgenres of course, but it has been like that before. I still see important bands continuing to put out great records as well as there are plenty new bands of course to rock the scenes. First example of a pretty new band with a recent song: http://www.mtv.de/videos/24230871-rival-so...ssure-time.html but see for yourself.

Post your favorite videos from the 90's

Old school hip hop describes the earliest commercially recorded hip hop music (approximately from 1979–1984), and the music in the period preceding it from which it was directly descended (see Roots of hip hop). Old school hip hop is said to end around 1983 or 1984 with the emergence of Run–D.M.C., the first new school hip hop group. However, some old school rap stations cover 1980s hip hop in general, occasionally extending even into the mid 1990s. The image, styles and sounds of the old school were exemplified by figures like Afrika Bambaataa, The Sugarhill Gang, Spoonie Gee, Treacherous Three, Funky Four Plus One, Kurtis Blow, Fab Five Freddy, Busy Bee Starski, Lovebug…

I don't know who's made this, but it works for me.

Amadeus is a Romanian girl-band made of four girls, playing electric instruments and combining pop-dance rhythms with the virtuosity of violins, cello and keyboards. Members: Andreea (violin), Alexandra (violin), Cristina (keyboards), Patricia (cello) .

Not sure if it belongs here but I fucking love this style! Drum and bass (also written as "drum 'n' bass" and commonly abbreviated to D&B or DnB, also known as Jungle) is a type of electronic dance music which emerged in the mid 1990s. The genre is characterized by fast breakbeats (typically between 160–190 bpm, occasional variation is noted in older compositions), with heavy bass and sub-bass lines. Drum and bass began as an offshoot of the United Kingdom rave scene of the very early 1990s. Over the first decade of its existence, the incorporation of elements from various musical genres led to many permutations in its overall style. Some youtube clips: Feel …

just for fun and because I am listening to Coheed and Cambria right now, one of their albums is called: Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through The Eyes of Madness which was followed by: Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume Two: No World For Tomorrow which are both ridicuously long titles, but maybe you know something to top them? other than that I like to listen to: The Fear Is Excruciating, But Therein Lies The Answer by Red Sparowes this one would be my personal runner up, but they (the Red Sparoews) have those pretty lenghty song titles, like: Buildings Began to Stretch Wide Across the Sky, And the Air Filled with a Reddish Glow or Mechan…

What were your favourite gigs you saw this year? 01. REGINA SPEKTOR Love Regina, and I was so bummed last year when she came to Australia without doing the west coast.

LAURA MARLING Same as Regina - this year was her first time in my part of the country, and I'd been waiting a long time to see her. By far my favourite gig I've seen at the shitty venue she played in Awesome support from Boy & Bear too! 03. MASSIVE ATTACK Epic.
