What changed the way you look at music?

Button pushers and knob twisters, very expressive :daisy:

But hey, that's just my opinion. Rave on sweet Mama! :beatnik:

The thing with music is that every generation generally likes their 'own' music the best. The 90's for me were fantastic with all the raves and that. Just absolutely love a lot of music from those days.

I feel that was actually the last decade were people actually had real fun with music and didn't always take themselves and the industry so serious.
How you feel about rave, I feel about the current popular music-style which is called hiphop.

Yep, that makes me feel old, but to each his/her own. That's the beauty about music as well. :2thumbsup:

 

Nice to chill out or afterparty to, but I generally like my electronic music a bit faster and melodious.
And especially for those interested to make a hit record:

I have to find one first. Most of the regional actions seems to be around Charlotte, what little there is.

Nearly all of our old rock clubs and bars either went out of business or switched over to country music. When I was in high school, all the cool kids were into rock and made jokes about the country music crowd being pig fuckers, tractor drivers, and tobacco chewing morons from trailer parks. Now, country is considered cool here. Religious music is probably second in popularity.

Edit: I'm Googling this stuff now. So far, not reading anything that impresses me. Nothing that my generation didn't do, with minor differences in style. We had sex parties. We had weed and coke. We had the club version (20+ minutes) of Donna Summer's "I Feel Love" and tons of Pink Floyd and Genesis. Our DJ's just weren't as flashy. Is there anything else I'm missing?

 

I have great memories of dirty, tiny warehouses when I hear this one.

Well, the only obvious solution is for you to go to Colorado for a mountain race this summer.

 

Got it. Point the airplane in the direction of the giant cloud of marijuana smoke.

 

Yes, I wasn't there.

I could say something similar, but...
:reddevil:

 

Lol, you are the only person I know besides me that uses this term. :love:

 

It is curious indeed that when someone doesn't like a new kind of music they often resort to the conclusion that no one in that genre has any creativity and the music lacks empathy and expression :biggrin:

 

I don't know much about the US scene. But different types of dance music attract different kinds of crowds.

My own favorite idioms are trance of all kinds and progressive house.

Thing is, the rave scene now isn't what it was in the 90's - again I'm talking from a Brit point of view. But it's as I said before, a ball bounces higher on the first drop.

Heres something I think is quite a good tune

I did not think to mention it before but changes in radio stations format made a difference in what was available to listen to. When rock stations started for the first time you could hear full length tracks rather than made for radio cuts. It gave exposure to music that before that did not fit the format and allowed more play time to full albums. Many artists were on those stations that would not have been played on traditional radio.

 

There is a lot of music that is not to my taste which I still appreciate the musicianship that went into the making of...a whole lot of jazz and classical music falls in that category for me.

4:00.... Ahhhh I feel high just listening to it :-D

 

Sheep have higher standards.

What about American country music? It's older than dirt, and their artists have no creativity at all. Most of their best ideas were stolen from European folk music more than 200 years ago. Listen to a fiddle solo from a traditional French Creole tune performed in New Orleans, and it sounds just like something from a current hit on the radio.

I wouldn't have guessed that about you. I like listening to trance, especially early in the morning, but I don't think I would get more out of it if I was listening with other people in the room. I'd rather focus on the music and tune the rest of the world out.

Good quality. That kind of sound is often heard over here in upscale restaurants and bars, especially in larger cities.

...and then we got satellite radio, and then internet radio. I can't wait to see what evolves from all that.

Just imagine a future time when we have a lot of songwriters and composers who have grown up hearing everything.

I'd bet that includes a lot of jazz that has chord structures and progressions that don't appear in any other kind of music, or even in traditional jazz. I still can't improvise on top of that.

I have similar feelings about Kanye West. I don't care much for his music or his personality, but I can hear that he's creating on a higher level than any of his competitors.

 

Excellent point!

When FM radio was first catching on in the west a lot of people didn't necessarily have FM receivers, my parents just happened to have an intercom installed that had shortwave, marine band and FM!...

I had previously been listening to a 'weird radio' station on the AM dial, KUFM out of Denver that played album rock, but they went off the air at sunset. One day they announced they were opening a sister station on the FM dial. I was so exited! Unfortunately it wasn't stereo and the tiny speakers in our rooms connected to the intercom were crap and the receiver base with the better speaker was mounted on the kitchen wall about ear level. I would sneak down late at night and stand with my ear next to it so I could listen with the volume low enough my parents couldn't hear it.

They played entire album sides uninterrupted!

Pink Floyd, Jeff Beck, early Zep and the like...When I first got my own stereo FM receiver and good speakers I was astounded by the quality of the audio! The radio stations obviously had better turntables that most people could afford back then...

That was definitely a defining moment in my musical education and appreciation of popular music. :2thumbsup:
