Yeah i've been slowly growing away from the Beatles more and more. I grew up with them and loved them but lately alot of their songs are cringeworthy to me.
Stones on the other hand have a handful of REALLY fucking good songs.
Midnight Rambler
Sister Morphine
Gimme Shelter
Paint it Black
to name a few

The Beatles have more than a handful of great songs imo:
I Am The Walrus
Yesterday
Yellow Submarine
Come Together
Something
Strawberry Fields Forever
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds
Across the Universe
Let It Be
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Does no one like any of those? D:

Never understood the hype that album. Sure it's catchy, and the horns are cool, but besides that the music itself is so generic and boring to me.

I like all of those. I'd add to that:
Yer Blues
Taxman
Why Don't We Do It In The Road?
Everybody's Got Something To Hide (Except For Me And My Monkey)
I'm Only Sleeping
Sexy Sadie
Tomorrow Never Knows
Glass Onion
A Day In The Life
Helter Skelter

The Rolling Stones and The Beatles both suck. Mick Jagger is the ugliest overrated frontman in rock history, and a piano hitting the street from 10 floors up sounds better than Paul McCartney's best effort on the keys.

You're just being silly. I'm no huge Stones fan but I'm not about to say they suck just to sound like some rebellious knobend who rejects all that is mainstream. These bands helped shape the music we listen to today, and that's a fact.

Sahara Hotnights man. Chick rock from Sweden. They've got a really great Americana vibe oddly enough and really catchy songs. The singer's voice is lovely.
The best Stones song is "Miss You." I like Etta James' cover of it, fuck she is a goddess.

Thanks, some more to check out. Hope at least one of the albums will be somewhat interesting for me. The closest thing I come to enjoy some "rapping" is RATM or nu-metal. Haha...

Well i've been lovin' on jazz for a long time because of my jazz studies with guitar,
charles mingus
miles davis
wes montgomery
pat martino
john coltrane
charlie parker
the modern jazz quartet
are gettin' lots of play time, i've been listening to the local jazz station 24/7 as well, and im traveling all summer but i got an app for it so i can listen to it wherever and whenever
i'm looking around for some good french jazz and just french music in general
Great list of musicians. I've been listening to West Montgomery and Pat Martino too, and I also need plenty more to listen to. I'm thinking of getting jazz guitar lessons, I'm mostly a self taught metal guitarist so it'd be good to get more of other music in me to help with my musicianship.

You totally should, Episterme. I've learned so much incredible stuff through jazz Study. The further you get, the more the instrument begins to make sense. OH and you get to deal with chords like C Minormajor 7th

Recently loving Steve Stevens' solo work. I can't believe he played guitar for Billy Idol.

I've been able to listen through Nos Chants Perdus in its entirety four or five times now, and while it's not my favorite Rome record by any means (I wasn't expecting it to be; Masse Mensch Material is hard to beat) it's still a worthy and solid effort. You can't really go wrong with Reuter and Co.
Anyway, the album continues in the vein of Flowers From Exile in that it neglects some of the more "martial" or "industrial" influences in favor of a more traditional folk approach. Acoustic instruments abound, as do orchestral string arrangements. The percussion is not as abrasive as it is on MMM, which was one of the attributes that made that record so appealing and interesting (to me anyway). There's a calmness to the music, similar to Flowers From Exile, and I would even go so far as to say that it might feature some of their most commercially appealing compositions to date (which could alienate some fans of the older material).
The lyrics are, as always, phenomenal. The music is a vehicle for Reuter's philosophical and sociological musings, and here it more than serves its purpose. Although the compositions may not be as interesting as those on their older records, the lyrical themes and delivery are as poignant as ever. Each track is also accompanied by a quote from various historical and literary figures such as Kierkegaard and Proust (the quotes are in their original language though, just to warn you
).
There are a few surprises on the record though, such as the penultimate track "La Rose Et La Hache," which features an accordion and is basically a traditional European waltz. After hearing it, I shouldn't have been surprised; but it was a bit of a shock to hear Rome play something in that vein. The final track on the album is an interesting addition as well. "Chanson De Geste" is played in a major key, and the acoustic guitars take a back seat. Instead, basses and/or cellos, played in a pizzicato technique, provide the groundwork and rhythm for the song while some other string and percussion instruments (I'm not sure exactly what's being used) play the melodic passages with a reverb effect. The song gives off a strange vibe, almost tropical I want to say; but it's absolutely a fine dose of irony, for while the music appears to harbor a sunny disposition, the lyrics are as serious as ever (the final refrain being the phrase "Die by the axe" repeated over and over again).
Out of ten, I'd probably give the record a seven. This may, of course, change, as did my interpretations and opinions of Rome's earlier records after further extensive listening. There's still lots of magic here, and the songwriting, while simple, is gorgeous, and the lyrical quality is superb as always.
EDIT: here's a sample from youtube. It actually features one of the more interesting and prominent percussion performances on the album.
