adsii1970 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 This song came on my radio on the way to campus this morning... and so now it is lodged in my head... and what's even funny is the song shows its age. But before I forget... Spoiler So a young girl in my class (about 18 or 19) asked me... "Doctor, what is a 'pop top?' And are they really sharp enough to cut you?"

adsii1970 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 As my closest friends know, I listen to a variety of music - everything from classical and hard rock. But there are songs I love that speak to me in profound ways... and the song that's been stuck in my head this morning is City of New Orleans. For you who are train enthusiasts such as @Azimech and even @LordFerret, you probably already know this song well... 17 hours ago, LordFerret said: And she's in college?!?!! I apologize for this. I truly do. Yeah, it was just another reminder of how I am growing old... But things could be worse, I guess. There are days I feel older than I am... and today is one of them.

Azimech Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Classic track from '79. The "New Romantics" band Japan was influenced by the Bowie Berlin period and others. Japan themselves influenced one of the biggest bands of the eighties: Duran Duran. I like this track, nice for practicing some of my bass skills, even if I don't own a fretless. And while at work, I just practice in my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azimech Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Type O Negative. Also called the "Drab Four" because their main influences were the Beatles and Black Sabbath. These guys made Gothic Metal popular in the mid nineties, after Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride and Anathema kickstarted the genre. The difference with these other bands is than TON injected it with some solid Brooklyn humor. Trick or treat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regex Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 This, pretty much: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gL8A_zldQ5c The entire album has been on repeat for much of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoner/psychedelic/space rock. E: I'm a big fan of bluesy rock with intricate guitar work, but I also prefer it to have a strong, stable backing, a toe-tapping, head-nodding beat. That beat can switch up (Elder is really good at that) but not quickly or in a jarring manner; the music must flow.

I looked at the genre description: Psychedelic Rock, Progressive Rock, Heavy Psych, Krautrock, Jazz Rock. So basically very seventies with modern production values. Not bad at all.

I've gone back occasionally to before my time to listen to bands like Quicksilver Messenger Service and it's fantastic stuff, but I like the more modern production values in general.

Let me know if you need pointers. You won't find much 4/4 in the rhythm section though, usually it jazzes up your feet and head (in a fantastic way).

Azimech Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 (edited) Talking about production values, Zappa wrote the book for most producers coming after him. He set a standard. His audio sounded incredibly clear and crisp compared to almost everything at the time. And he might've been the first to record digitally in a professional environment, in 1973. Talking about jazz rock, this is a classic track. Nineteenseventytwo ladies and gentlemen! Keep in mind, CD sounds much better than Youtube, usually. And if you have doubts about his skills in producing/engineering because you're listening to a remastered track, find yourself a proper first pressing LP :-) Edited October 20, 2017 by Azimech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
