Mazzy Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Well I'm not a rap fan but I've got to say : Public Enemy "It Takes a Nation of a Millions to hold us back" I am actually surprised that they missed it. Musically it was totally groundbreaking and it also carried such a strong political message... Bass! How low can you go? Death row what a brother knows Once again, back is the incredible The rhyme animal The incredible D. Public Enemy number one Five-O said "Freeze!" and I got numb Can't I tell 'em that I really never had a gun? But it's the wax that the Terminator X spun Now they got me in a cell 'cause my records they sell 'Cause a brother like me said "Well Farrakhan's a prophet and I think you ought to listen to What he can say to you, what you ought to do" Follow for now, power to the people say, "Make a miracle. D, pump the lyrical" Black is back, all in, we're gonna win Check it out, yeah y'all, here we go again Chorus: Turn it up! Bring tha noize!

DeanW Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 How did Nirvana get to be Number 2 on the list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loburt Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Well, the thing is, these are the results of a survey, I imagine of Rolling Stone readers. So it's going to reflect the tastes of young to early middle-aged white American males. Young white American males who read. Small group, dont you think?

koolbreez Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Rolling Stone Magazine....lolol. The bands not listed must not have payed them enough . You don't find any ZZ-Top, Frank Zappa, Janis Joplon, Dire Straits, The Gratefull Dead, Jethro Tull, Yes, Santana, Ted Nugent, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, Alice Cooper, Sting, just to name a few that aren't on their list.

Achilles Posted May 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 hahhahhaha! So you also have picked up the noteworthy absences form the list... Was still waiting to see if anyone dared to say that Tata Young should also have been listed... Indeed... list is brought up a Nort American Magazine oriented to Middle Age WASPS.... Nonethless there stilla re some valid references there... My misses: Credence Clearwater Reviaval, The Clash, Lynrd Skynrd, Jethrotull (Thick as a break!), ACDC, Doors (at least LA Woman!), Santana (Abraxas), Queen (How could they miss that???) and the list goes on and on.... I too was wondering how there could be more than one entry for Guns n Roses and for Nirvana. Nevermind should be in there but In Utero, Unplugged? Hallo!!!! Same for Use your Illusion of GnR.... No mentions wither to James Brown,. Aretha Franklin or Eric Burdon and the animals.... Madonna? Uffff, only one of 'em would make it to my taste and wouldn't know which! Anymore you guys pick up?

Achilles Posted May 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 well Sushi..... yeah lists are sheepish and they are there for unimaginative beings to try to ascertain their own preferences, but hey, the principle works.... As you have probably seen already in the movie High Fidelity (or if you read the novel), coming up with a list of Best albums, best singers or best singles is a vey complicated feat in itself. No truth is universal and paticulary more so in such a subjective topic as music preference. My point when posting the Rolling Stone list was definitely not to state that what these guys have said is the absolute truth. I was more keen on knowing and undestanding what ae the prferences of the average TFer in this particular front... So far you have only suggested Beethoven.... I guess that from the list you have very accurately acsetained that no Beethoven, nor Mozat nor Bach wee cited... Guess beacuse that was out of the scope of the question.... So in light of this fact, that classic albums (which were never conceived as albums by those authors back then anyway) are not included in the list, could you let us know what would you deem worthy of showing up?

Achilles Posted May 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 couldn't expect a lesser wit free response from you Sushi.... at last you came out of your cryptoligical position of hiding behind jpg's now you've taken the time to actually press the keyboard... Good.... Nope, as you say, Beethoven or Mozart are not out MY scope same as jeans will never be banned of my preferred clothings.... But you know this isn't about classic vs pop/rock. From you argumentative standing point of view, Beatles o Rolling Stones will be perfectly elegible as choices in 200 years time, why? Just because they're old? Nope, because they were good....Same as was the case with Mozart or Schubert back then... The fact that pop mucis has only been invented o aound the block for 50 o less years shouldn't diminish its future impotance or transcenadance to humanity... As improbable as it may seem, Jimi Hendrix's All Along the Watchtowe o Whitney Houston's "I will always love you" may be regarded as all time maste pieces... this is something not for you an I to asceratin now as we have just lived those releases... The fact that those ae good to you beacuse they're old, don't necessarily make tem better form the cuent... Depite the obvious fact that to produce a symphony you had to be a Ludwig whereas now to produce a song, you better be a good looking nobody that can be properly marketed into something appaently talentful...

zeusbheld Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 So no, I don't have any particular recommendations from 1980-1985. Sooooorrry. actually i recall a pretty decent recoridng of 'the well tempered clavier' from the mid 80s, not sure of the year (andras schiff on the piano). also i think there's much truth to what you say about pop music but it's more complicated than that because pop forms have absorbed folk forms and at a grass roots level pop is a folk music. i'm not talking about the latest and greatest product of american idol but the latest and greatest garage band that sells ten, maybe twelve records.... i'd take bach over the latest and 'greatest' u2 album any day but i'd take a good garage punk band like the mclusky over trite crap like pachelbel any day. the sincere efforts of illiterates IMO are more charming than the contrived efforts of hacks. also it's worth noting that the cultural durability of ANYTHING is less related to its excellence than to its' 'catchiness.' in that, i think retread pop 'classics' are not likely to go away, untiil we do as a species.

Sooooorrry. actually i recall a pretty decent recoridng of 'the well tempered clavier' from the mid 80s, not sure of the year (andras schiff on the piano). Nice, but it would be from 1990 if Amazon's right. http://www.amazon.com/Bach-Well-Tempered-Clavier-Book-1/dp/B0000041Q7 a80s.... 90s... with all the free coke going around who remember such details as what year it happened to be.... record recommendation stands, however. (and yep i call 'em records--even more archaic but fairly descriptive still, innit). dear officer, i'm talking about coca COLA. that's my story and i'm sticking to it.
