I agree with Jim
The Beatles are the greatest rock n' roll band of all time.

Ever feel like flaming? :D :D
[FLAME]
Ahhhh The Beatles, greater musicians than even Milli Vanilli! Was there ever a better band musically? Everything from prehistoric prefabricated pop to drug-drenched dirges...and all with more weird #7 & b13 chords with 2¾ twists than anyone previously had dared to include...
What fantastic lyricists Lennon & McCartney were. Oh to have been there the day that one of them said to the other "How does "She loves you yeah yeah" sound?" and to hear the other reply "It needs another "yeah"...". Beautiful...
The icing on the cake, all sung in their unmatchable harmonies...unmatchable except maybe by the sound of 18 wheels suddenly being forced to stop from 87mph with an enthusiastic application of the air brakes...

:D :D Oh BOY am I gonna be in trouble now.... :D :D -
Now Playing: Roger Guth – “Scotch” -

Ditto to everything you said.
The Rolling Stones were and still are a very popular and once influental band and some may argue against that. In the early years I was a Beatle fanatic, I didn't think any one person or group could ever be as good. it wasn't until the Beatles broke up that I started discovering that there was a lot more good music out there. Who knows if the Beatles will be known as the most influental Pop Group ever it doesn't matter . What matters is that we should have our priorities straight. When Lennon made the comment about being more popular than Christ it made a lot of folks angry but look how much it gained for the cause of Christ, it made a lot of folks ask about how they prioritize important belifs in thier lives. So maybe Lennon's statement was meant for evil maybe it wasn't but God used that to turn his people around . -
Ever feel like flameing...
yeah..yeah...yeah...
Rap
Rap puts a lot of people out of work in the music
business...Its what the young kids like ..I don't
understand why. -

Young folks like rap because it iritates the dickens out of us older folks, although I did think Coolio"s "Gansta Paridise" was kind of funky and check out Jennifer Knapps last CD when she performs with Grits. -
So its a vast Rap wing conspiracy by younger
folk . -
Our generation has taught them well , I just hope that they will learn from our mistakes.
-
Hey that sounds like a song!
Teach your children well ...
CSNY
I think CSN actually auditioned at Apple ..and
were rejected. -
Well Apple wasn't well known for it business smarts but they did have sone terrific people puting out great records , one of my favorites was Mary Hopkins (Once upon a time there was a cavern or a tavern )
-
I just hope that someday they will stop and say "Hey? What am I doing? Theres MUSIC out there I could be getting into instead of this stuff!"
Sounding just like my parents when I was a kid and I dont care,

I like the original version of "Carolina in My Mind" much better than the single version that most people are familiar with.
Now Playing: Los Lonely Boys – “Los Lonely Boys” -

Mike(the anti-rap) </font>[/QUOTE]I don't like rap either. Not only do I not like it (or recognize it) as music, the message is terrible.
I'm not even black and I'm offended by the way it portrays black people.
Now Playing: Warren Zevon – “The Wind” -
Originally it wasn't like it is today. It was more message oriented, and even used for positive. (It was also a bit more musical, and producing their own backgrounds rather than just sampling).
It was the ego style from about 20 years ago, which began changing it into what we see today. -
When Don Maclean wrote " The day the music died"
apparently he was refering to rap.
Have you heard a good guitar riff in a rap song?
Have you heard strings and cellos?
Have you heard harmonies?
Have you heard a big brass section?
No!
My contention that good hardworking artists do
not have a gig.
should rap even be considered music?
how about calling it street ranting poetry.
Who will save the MUSIC! -
What I want to know is where is some of this so called music(and for the time being , also rap)where is going from here. Rap can be creative but for the most part the popular rap is degradin, disgusting, has lack of any imagination. In order to turn it up a notch can it possibly get any more disgusting.(Talking about pop music)

Really you have heard all that! on a consistent
basis..perhaps one or two..I still stand on
my statement rap puts hard working musicians
our of work.
Alicia Keys is the only one that comes to mind
on the song "Karma" and that is a hybrid song
that has some rap.
