I LOVE the music....

Post by The Laughing Man »

....but I HATE the SINGING/LYRICS! :o

ie: listening to the *cough* remake of Lady Marmalade, (yea, so? you wanna make sumthin frummit? :-x ), and as far as the singing, it was just a voice wavering contest that makes me cringe......

:!: BUT! AHA! The mmuuussiiicc! The musicians who make the song what it is! That song is so tight, and has such a fat end on the bottom, that properly EQ'd, and sufficiently amplified, will just ripple thru your whole body.....it can almost be a religious experience with LOUD, GOOD music, and that's not my only example, surely, but do you have a song you "hate to love" :?:

Anything by Rage Against the Machine.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

Like Warmark I too dig RAtM, however if you listen to too much it's just one long post-industrial-angst rap. Then again I like ACDC, however if you string all their album together for and all night party it's just one long song (purists would argue the Scott/Young split 8) )
fall far and well Pilots!

If you need a fix of Rush or Alex Lifeson :Hail: I can set you up. Meet me in the alley where the light's bust.

I generally tend to not listen to bands that I don't like the singer of, but I do have a tendency to dislike most replacement singers in the bands I do like.

Heh, I'd say the same about a lot of country, most of metal, and what I think is death metal ("Her Portrait in Black" by Atreyu off the Underworld:Evolution soundtrack is an example of what I mean). I find the music engaging, but the fake country accent, the metal voice that most metal singers cop, and that weird-assed demon imitation from the Atreyu type band.

Strangly (and this goes along with Slart's listening to Lady Marmalade) I like a couple of Britney Spears' earlier songs.

Same thing, the words are asinine, the singing is over done...but listen to crazy and I Did it Again--in the right hands, with the right singer (and much better lyrisist) those two songs could have rocked.

Love Trent Reznor's music, but the lyrics--especially in The Fragile--blech. Maybe Roger Waters should write them for you, eh?

Dinasaur Jr---(pretty much one guy..J Mascus) his songs rocked, and the words were great too...it's unfortunate that he can't carry a tune in a bucket...flat as piss on a plate his singing is.

On a record, Billy Corgan pretty much has to whisper, because he doesn't have much of a songing voice...and when he lpays live, he tries to really strain, and it doesn't come out very well either.

He was too much of a perfectionist to hire another singer though...if memory serves, when they recorded Siamese Dream, he went back over James' and D'arcy's Guitar and bass tracks and recorded them himself.
