Music

Ok, let's get it out of the way... You probably don't listen to anything I like, and vice-versa. But I thought I'd take a moment to shamelessly promote myself and my band, Pop Standards. So here: www.geocities.com/darwinfarkus/popstandards.html

So.........

Music. Discuss.

See, I have this feeling that what you guys call pop is not the same thing that I call pop. Although that label was given falsely to all of these adolescent teeny-bopper Britney acts in recent years, that is not to be thought of as pop.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I love 80s pop

:climbs back in to rock ive been living under:

Eh this and that

too much to name, I listen from anything to 80's type stuff, to hardcore or Heavy metal. It all depend's on my mood I guess. but i'm pretty open minded when it come's to music, unless it's country. Anything but country.

Or rap.

This topic is music and I must say that rap is missing the key parts of music so do not call it music.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Do you eve know what you're talking about? Everyone has their own musical ability, rap can be on of them.It may not be the most intelligent music in the world, but it's not the worst.

It's not music don't call it music! It's missing a key part of music and Thats a melody!

As a self-proclaimed music aficionado, I must say that I agree with the previous statement.

Hmm, good point, but I don't consider drummers to be real musicians either.

Us drummers can be musicians but we do need a little help at times. If I can I'll find a badass song that is a tribute to drummers.

I'm not saying that there haven't been great drummers. Hell, I spent 10 years of my life as one... I just know from experience and from working with many of them on the road that very few have any true musical sensibilities. For maximum jaw-droppage, I recommend listening to Gene Krupa, or Keith Moon from The Who... Also "Moby Dick" by Led Zeppelin has probably the greatest drum solo of all time in it.

In 1994 when I first started playing, I was pretty much thieving styles and techniques from people like Dave Grohl (Nirvana), John Bonham (Led Zeppelin), and later, Darren Jesse (Ben Folds Five).
