I always wonder why these threads start. Boredom?

What you like to listen is noise to me.

What I like to listen to is crap to you.

I think 100 years from now very few rock musicians will be remembered: My guess: Lennon/McCartney, Zappa, Stevie Wonder, Jimi Hendrix, and probably nobody else.

 

[JimLor]

Yanktar, Yes - big yes!/OK/Not necessarily - maybe something you like will spark an interest in me. You're a grumpy old fart aren't ya?

Well fook, without a politcal forum what else we gonna jaw about?

Zappa? I'm having a hard time picturing you listening to Zappa... Don't know why, just am. You strike me as much more the Liberace type...

My favs:

Anything Deep Purple

Autobahn by Kraftwerk

You forgot to mention the King. There is no greater icon in American music than Elvis Presley.

 

[gr8eyes]

I'm taking a wild guess, but none of them will be listened to 100 years from now. If I were a betting man though I'd say there are a few that will be listened to longer than Stevie Wonder. Led Zeppelin being one of them.

Red Barchetta, moving pictures from Rush. I get goosebumples singing that when I ride.

 

[JimLor]

Forgot - Stevie Ray Vaughn if you're looking for a ticket!

Man I can tell you guys are way older than me :lol: :haha:

Hate to tell ya but with the exception of Hendrix I have already forgotten the others

History doesn't count for taste because if it did the Stones would have been forgotten 20years ago.

Now Snoop on the other hand may he live forever.

Yes and Iron Maiden, Ozzy, Metallica.

Considering how much music has changed in this country in the last 25-30 years alone I venture to say it won't be anything like it is now anyway.

What they called Rock in Elvis Presley's day is almost 180 degrees from today Rock.

What I have to say to you on THAT could be said with a gesture! Like this:

:****:

I'm NOT a big Stevie Wonder fan. But he's a song writer whose songs are EVERYWHERE, sung by all kinds of people at all kinds of times. Like Lennon/McCartney.

Zappa is like the Pablo Picasso of Rock and Roll. We'll be working on interpreting both of those two artists for the next 100-200 years. People like the dirty lyrics and tongue-in-cheek style, but the man understood music like he was another Stravinsky or Gustav Holst or Bela Bartok. Or, to keep it more American, like another Charles Ives. I've never heard of anyone else in Rock that could do that. It's hard work to listen to Zappa, and not always much fun.

I think L/Z will be forgotten--or remembered as an example of the mediocre.

I think Elvis will be remembered for his historical significance--the All-American White kid who could sing like the Black singers before him. Didn't Big Momma Thornton do "Hound Dog" first? Elvis did covers--brilliantly, but he didn't write nuthin'.

Elvis was todays Microsoft equivalent. The black people he stole the songs from got nothing and they made him what he was...

 

[yanktar]

When Microsoft FINALLY introduces a product that doesn't suck, you know what it will be?

A vacuum cleaner.

Most folks don't appreciate sheer genius. To wit, I offer:

"Well, she can swallow my pride." (Jewish Princess)

Classic.

 

[sparky3008]

Well, she can swallow my pride

Witty if that is where your pride and manhood really stem from?

 

[twowheelnut]

Like I said, most folks don't appreciate sheer genius.

 

[yanktar]

Yeah, well, like I said--to appreciate Zappa you gotta go beyond the lyrics. Mostly he was being funny (sorta) and dirty. Otherwise his music is too damn dense to listen to with INTENSE concentration.
