Re: Can we just do another music thread?
I rather enjoy guitar wankery, personally.
I find it somewhat odd to call jazz mechanical, considering how much emphasis there is on improvisation. I also take issue with the idea that more technical flourishes necessarily make a song less soulful, which seems to be the underlying idea here. Remember that a lot of practice goes into being able to play like that, and every now and again people do develop those skills for reasons other than a desire to show them off.

Re: Can we just do another music thread?
Solution: listen to smaller band with loyal following and potential for growth. May I recommend I Fight Dragons? Band out of Chicago (what band isn't) with a loyal following and an interesting musical asthetic combining old video game beeps and bloops with guitars and drums. Rock/pop. Example song: Save World Get Girl.
Never played a game of D&D in my life, but I still love OotS.

Re: Can we just do another music thread?
It took me nearly eternity to browse through this thread and my music list expanded considerably. I have been positively surprised by the ammount of good, contemporary bands.
As far as instrumental pieces go, nothing is higher on my list then Mozart's Piano Concerto No 21.
From artist I'd like to present in this thread:
Pomplamoose - two persons writing, playing, mixing songs and having a blast, while doing it. Apart from original works, they do covers and IMO their rendition of Mr Sandman is top notch.
Stepdad - most likely falls under some subgenre of electronic music. I can't pinpoint, why I like their music. So uh... check it yourself.
Motion Trio - I don't know, if there even exists a genre they could be properly described with. I got to know them through their fantastic improvisation with Bobby McFerrin. Very emotional and captivating music.
I listen to quite a lot of Blue Öyster Cult lately - they are vastly more known, then the other bands mentioned, but they definetly deserve to be mentioned (especially with all the rock and metal bands mentioned in this thread already).
Also: there was a moment, when strong female vocalists vere discussed. I wouldn't be myself, if I wouldn't mention Kate Bush on such a occasion. Her duet with Rowan Atkinson is worth hearing as well.
A lot of things I listen to comes from a few interesting radio auditions (that unfortunately are airing so late I have to record them instead of hearing live). From there comes Birthday by Cruxshadows (very interesting lyrics on that one) and Archive. I don't listen to those two very often, but they are never entirely forgotten.
Please don't take it personally, but for some reason it reminds me of Stormwind Fallacy. Blues is played for different reasons then jazz and it shows, but the good old Benny Goodman (it might not be jazz, but I'm somewhat fuzzy on genres), Henry Mancini and Louis Armstrong do seem to put their all into their creations. This piece by Yoko Kanno hardly seems to be a technical exercise either.Last edited by Radar; 2011-10-09 at 11:28 AM.

Re: Can we just do another music thread?
a little bit of Bobby McFerrin makes everything better
my current youtube playlist is a little random, lately..
a bit of Klezroym;
a bit of Tom Waits, an old favourite of mine;
a bit of Queen;
something a bit more local to me Noa and Carlo Fava;
Victor Borge who you simply can't beat for quality and comedy in classic music;
Gogol Bordello for some moustached fun;
the pogues and the dubliners together... do I even need to say why?
a fairly recent discovery (for me), Professor Elemental
Flogging Molly
and finally a little something I bumped into years ago, which I dig up occasionally Ugly Band

Re: Can we just do another music thread?
Two good songs. There's wheel in the sky, or separate ways if that's the one you were thinking of. And it's really too much fun to sing with any sort of dignity
There are some freeform types of jazz that's really rather untechnical, but quite good. Although I'm more of a blues fan as well.
Oh, speaking of guitarring, Malmsteen. Malmsteen forevermore.Awesome fremetar by wxdruid.
From the discomfort of truth there is only one refuge and that is ignorance. I do not need to be comfortable, and I will not take refuge. I demand to *know*.
So I guess I have an internets? | And a trophy. | And a music cookie (whatever that is).

Re: Can we just do another music thread?
As far solo guitarists go, Dominic Frasca is interesting.
Ho do makes all the worries go away.
You should definately check MozART Group. They also did a show with Bobby McFerrin. Their offical site.
You said the magic word.
The Temptations: Glasshouse, Power, The Prophet.
Isaac Hayes: Funky Junky, Shaft theme.
James Brown: Too Funky In Here, Funky Drummer.
I'm not sure, if those two would qualify as funk though.In a war it doesn't matter who's right, only who's left.

Re: Can we just do another music thread?
Would you guys classify Earth, Wind, and Fire as funk or rhythm and blues?

Re: Can we just do another music thread?
Funk vs RnB...
I think there are cases where it's very clear-cut which is which, and cases where it's pretty irrelevant. EWF, in my opinion, are the latter. If I had to get technical I'd say they're "soft funk", as opposed to, say, Funkadelic.Avatar by Kris on a Stick

Re: Can we just do another music thread?
Listening to my dad's strange compilations of strange music.
Finished 14 Tracks in Love with Mali, finished 14 Tracks Raved Up: Junglist Hardcore, and now goin' through 14 Tracks Uncovering the Squashed Funk of LA.
I liked the Junglist Hardcore best.

Re: Can we just do another music thread?
I have to agree on that. Guitarists with such raw power usualy play in electric league. Take Richard Dale as an example. On the other hand, it would be difficult to compare technique mastery between the two.
A vastly different style would be that of Paul Simon. It's quite amazing, what an atmosphere he can build without fancy riffs. Him and Garfunkel are all about 2 voices and 1 guitar - anything else is redundant.
I wonder, if there were guitar riff-offs in the style of Gene Krupa/Buddy Rich battle.
I'm not sure, but in the same basket as Heatwave and possibly Commodores and Donna Summer.
Do you have any hints on how to find information about them? Due to the peculiarity of their name, Google search is non-trivial.In a war it doesn't matter who's right, only who's left.

Re: Can we just do another music thread?
It does, but if you have to break a really bad mood, you need stronger stuff like Loudon Wainwright III.

Re: Can we just do another music thread?
Lately I've been listening a lot to Dub Trio, a great instrumental metal/dub group probably best known for backing Matisyahu and Mike Patton's Peeping Tom project. Normally they sound something like this; with gues vocals from mr. Patton they sound like this (featuring a super-addictive pop hook wrapped in an experimental, dub-y rock/metal soundscape - awesome, indeed)
