The thing with the Stones that I guess I never got into them was they weren’t awesome musicians. Of course Mick & Keith (& the rest) are talented but I never heard a great solo or anything that made me say wow…this rocks! Popping & blues related yes…for me, I just listened to what the radio would play.
[reply]that rag has zero credibilty. You can have a classic by zeppelin, dylan, or hell if Pink Floyd reunited with waters and released an album, it will still somehow fall short to Kanye and all of the shitty mtv “rap”.
Hell, hearing that Plant and Krauss got Album of the Year… I almost pissed myself in shock. Talented people won a grammy! Particularly album of the year. Hell froze that night imo.
agreed. kanye’s only bearable song seems to be the one where he jacked a daft punk beat. Plant, while he may not be many people’s cup of tea, deserves mad props for turning down crazy money for a zep reunion to do what he feels is artistically more worth his while (the project with krauss)[/reply]
A lot of people wouldn’t take the route he took. To do something completely different and low-key, turning down a reunion and a easy payday? Admirable.
p.s the best ‘spanking’ music is Merzbow. I speak from experience.
“Looping Jane” off Amlux is indeed wonderful spankin’ music.
