Couldnt' find the music thread #2

Was perusing the internet for old time rock and roll songs, and the nostalgia simply overflowed...as did the tears (I unashamedly admit); by the time I got to this one, I was practically dehydrated.

One of my favourite Karaoke songs !

I enjoyed that. Thanks for sharing. The MP3 player in my car is full of such things.

Try this one...although Johnny Cash has always been one of all time favorites, this version just blew me away:

I like the songs that tell a story, which I guess are actually called ballads. Burl Ives and Johnny Horton are two off the top of my head, there are others as well in all kinds of genres. Then there are songs like "Puff the magic dragon" which fits into that category as long as you only take it at face value and ignore the innuendo.

I have always like Burl Ives; no one like him ever. I also liked his "little bitty tear let me down".

Not the genre that you're discussing, but every time I see the title I have to dial up this song.

Cheap Trick - Stop this Game 198 - YouTube

I love 50's and 60's stuff but also mainly American country music. Some Aussie country is pretty good so long as it has a great beat. I have my own Karaoke set and often go out to my den and belt out a few. Going to set up a new den in my new shed with large screen on the wall so friends and family can join in like we used to. I have a good hundred karaoke disks and lots on a hard drive. Probably around 4000 songs I guess. I use a Sonken MP4000 Karaoke machine with amp etc. ( used to have a Karaoke business I ran after hours and for weddings, at Pubs and clubs etc.)

Is Rock and Roll dead. Part 2.

Years ago I posted a thread in this forum about how I thought traditional rock and roll was dead. Following the decline of alternative rock in the 1990s there really hasn't been too much new stuff for the rock and roll fan to get into. The classic rock stations play all the old standards but...

It happens. Look at Big Band Music. That once dominated the American music scene but is about as dead as can be these days. Music is trendy, and trends change. So goodbye Rock and Roll and hello Rap. (which I personally hope is a very short trend!)

Actually several years ago big band music made a comeback and has held a new following...

There is a distinct line between music and noise and IMO "rap" is not on the music side of that line and is well back of of it...

Bring out another hanky, 2Lane... one of our favorites, I believe...

I love big band, always have since I was a kid. I have the 40's channel on my sirius presets.

They said the same thing about ragtime, and the same thing about jazz, and the same thing about rock and roll.

Music is so subjective, it’s like asking what’s the best color?

It's all about talent...generally the more musical talent the better the music regardless of the genre...
popularity does not define quality...

Naw, IMHO you’re just substituting words: “talent” for “best”. What makes them talented? I argue that it’s subjective. Often, it’s the simplest music that is the best.
I’ve heard a lot of guitar players and singers, etc.. who are amazingly talented, but (IMHO) their music is still crap. Mostly because they just don’t have the right feel. That certain vibe, soul, or as the French say “ je ne sais quoi”.
Sometimes it’s just raw talent. I’ve probably seen thousands of concerts. Sometimes it’s the crowd that makes a performance good. Other times, I’ve thought “this is bad, but then listen to the recording of the exact show I witnessed and thought “they were really good!” (Or vise-versa). It’s really hard to put a finger on what makes YOUR experience good or bad, there’s no formula, and as I argue: totally subjective.

Again...it's talent...musicians, song writers, composers etc., etc...they either have it or they don't and it is always evident....
Your comments remind me of "milli vanilli"...LoL...!
