A- I'm really in the mood for Damien Rice at the moment. He's one of those guys that you have to be in the mood to listen to because of how mellow he is. I would have punched that guy clapping in the face though. New Song: More from the Beatles... Tomorrow Never Knows Invalid Video Link
B- I guess I'm back right on cue. Seems like almost all of JBB that doesn't like rap listens to this slow rock. It's alright I guess if your chillaxin' but how can you listen to this on a regular basis? It's slow, makes you wanna go to sleep boring to me, but I guess I'm an angsty 12 year old with ADD Right VC? The Chemical Brothers - "Do It Again!" Invalid Video Link Here's some Techno for you anti-angsty ppl

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Mamba:</div><div class="quote_post">I really need to download all of the Beetles CD's like Chutney just did, I've loved everything posted so far.</div> You should definitely do it. Their first few CD's are all cheery love songs that are fun to listen to, but its cool listening to their style change from album to album. I'm on Rubber Soul right now and its really a departure from their earlier music. My favourite so far. Anyways, I can't post get on youtube at work but I love that song that VC posted.

That's the album that some say started the psychedelic rock movement, although the advent of it was actually a few years earlier with bands like Strawberry Alarm Clock and Fifty Foot Hose. I really don't like much of the pre-Revolver Beatles work though.

I think that album's right after this one too. btw, If I could recommend a song right now, it'd be "Michelle" by the Beatles. Very cool song.

"Love You To" </div> Hey, seeing how there aren't any new videos posted, I thought I'd get your thoughts on this song - Jake Holmes - Dazed & Confused http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fusea...endID=117436573 Written and recorded before Led Zeppelin was even a band. And no, Zeppelin did not credit him. Just like 90% of the bands they ripped off. In fact, they only wrote one song on that first album. **** Zeppelin.[/endrant]
If you're looking for an opinion from just Chutney, mind if I post up a video from Sigur R?s? I'm sure you'd enjoy this one if you're in the mood for sad music. Very simplistic (by their standards) but relaxing and amazing at the end.

I just wanted Chutney opinion on that song, seeing how he's into Zeppelin.
Cool deal, here it is: Sigur R?s - Olsen Olsen Invalid Video Link This song makes me think about life, death of loved ones and all around I feel sad listening to it because it is so beautiful, yet, in the end I'm happy. No other song does that. This is a fan made video, he wanted to make a video story about life. Obviously he feels the same or similar when he listens to this song.

There's no doubt that Zeppelin borrowed a lot of material from early blues and folks musicians, but so did every other British blues band of that time. I think this song was the most blatant case, but I like to think that LZ's strength was in the way they arranged songs, taking bits of previous songs that influenced them, and making it their own (reworking it if you will). Apparently when Holmes heard their take on "Dazed and Confused" his reaction was basically "What the hell. Let them have it." I never got the impression that they flat out stole an entire song, usually it was a line or part of a riff or a technique or something. And after listening to some of the material that influenced them, I can never enjoy them as much because there are so many other things that Zeppelin added themselves to make it their own song. As for giving proper credits, there's not much you can say about that. I think a lot of that happened because of their douchebag manager, though. Anyways, I'm probably not the best person to be defending them since I've only recently started to get into rock music. But, out of every band I've listened to, I immediately felt a connection with their music (something I couldn't feel with the songs they "ripped off") and their style. Everything just seems to work so well together with them and they're by far my favourite band.
I believe M21's was the last video posted.. C I'm not dissing the music, but it was just dull to me. You've posted some stuff by them before that wasn't bad, but...ehh...wasn't feeling this one, honestly. Another classic summer song coming up... Van Halen - Panama Invalid Video Link God, what sexy men...
D+ I really respect Van Halen's talent, but I've always thought he was a horrible song writer. So many people love the guy, but I just don't get it. I actually loved the video M Two One posted. It had so much more emotion in it. It's not always about playing the most complex riffs, and I think that the group M posted, Sigur Ros (don't have the time to look up how to do the ~, lol), embodies that minimalistic approach to music more than most groups. They're work is just beautifully dark. I loved the string at the end in that song as well (not sure if they were violas or violins, I have no ear for classical instruments). New Song: Pearl Jam - Man of the Hour Invalid Video Link
A That was a thought provoking song, I keep saying I need to get into PJ, but I haven't...I need to get some of their cd's. I really like everything you've posted so far. Bob Marley - Trenchtown Rock Invalid Video Link
A Man, you know I love those lyrics, especially now. Brilliant song from a brilliant man, although I'm saddened by the commercialization of his name and the brand it's become. Oh, and I didn't give a full A+ because the guy didn't allow message board embedding, so I had to go to YouTube to watch it. That's just lame. New Song: Zero 7 - In the Waiting Line Invalid Video Link
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Mamba:</div><div class="quote_post">John Frusciante - The Will to Death</div> B+ Don't really listen to Frusciante, but I can see why you guys enjoy his music so much. That was a nice mellow song that felt real nice to listen to in the morning. Not a complex melody, but he made it louder at the right times and it was all about conveying his emotion. The Beatles - "I'm Only Sleeping" Invalid Video Link
A+ Are you going through the complete discography right now and landing on Revolver? If so, man, you'll love Abbey Road. That's my favorite album of all-time, in terms of being an album. By that, I mean all the tracks flow seemlessly like one giant song and not like 15 individual tacks. If you get it or download it, make sure you play it all together, with no pauses between songs, because it flows so well together. As for "I'm Only Sleeping", this is a song that Frusciante (speak of the devil) was heavily inspired by. I think they call the effect "playback" or something, but whatever it is, the effect where Harrison's solo is played backwards is really cool and inspired him. I don't think that the song Mamba recommended from Frusciante is one of his better songs, so that's where I'll head with my recommendation - John Frusciante - Carvel Invalid Video Link
