The Jazz Thread

I knew it.

Same thing for me when I say I hate the Beatles.

I can understand their influence on music,but they are so boring to me.Same thing for me when it comes to Led Zeppelin,no one understands why I dont like them.

 

[Nerve]

Same. I'll always recognize the influence and the impact they had on the music production and sound, and the revolution they created back when they appeared, I can't listen to a single album in its entierely. It bores me so much that I have to stop it before the end. An album like Sgt. Pepper will always be a reference and a masterpiece, I just HATE it. Musically, I really really really can't stand the way it sounds. I hate the Beatles music. I really enjoy a few songs here and there, like "Happiness..." and "I Want You", but a full album... No way. It even makes me angry. I try every year to listen to them again, but I'm afraid I'll never make it.

About Led Zep, I used to say the same, until I discovered again the late part of their work. I didn't liked I/II/III (I don't like 60's rock, LZ included), but Houses Of The Holy & Presence are progressive as fuck, into the 70's feeling, which makes them totally different to the previous ones. They are more and more rich and sophisticated, and less "only this kickass riff" rock. You should try to listen to them, maybe you'll see what I mean.

In a general way, you always understand more the sense of music when you listen to full albums. Listening to a few songs on Deezer simply kills the music, and it doesn't make you get the real content of an artist.

In that case give up

Ok,ill try,i recently got into Porcupine Tree and Rush,so it could be interesting to me.

 

[DHG]

Don't bother trying, Led Zep sucks. =P
Porcupine Tree is muchhhhh better.

 

[The Emptier]

porcupine tree is fucking awesome
im getting into them as well

im also into a ton of sludge/ambient/doom stuff

 

[Nerve]

Cool, but 1) there's not even a single link between LZ and PT, 2) LZ don't suck at all, and 3) we're in the jazz thread, and I don't see an relation between jazz and sludge/ambient/doom stuff.

 

[SteveMCsteve]

Is anyone a fan of Nat King Cole?

 

[snowy]

Kenny Burrell, Ray Brown, Charles Mingus and the Cowboy Bebop soundtrack.

 

[DHG]

Duke Ellington...

Here we go, I think we named all the obvious ones.

 

[Nerve]

I totally understand it. Same thing for me when I say I hate the Beatles.

Okay : listening to the brand new remasters HELPS A LOT.

 

[Mapexdrums]

I hate bebop, hard bop and all in between 1940-1970ish....I much prefer modern jazz and fusion like Chick Corea and the Electric (and Acoustic) band, Hiromi Uehara, Michel Camilo, Weather Report, Herbie Hancock just to name a few.

 

[Ensi]

Wat? There are others besides myself who hate the beatles?

I didn't bother to read anything untill this post.

Count me in brah
