Mamma said there will be days like this I throughly enjoy motown artists, though I would never admit it outside of this board. Despite its obvious influence in the development of music, they don't compare (IMO) to the classic rock artists of the mid to late 60's; ideally the British Invasion. Any music created circa 1960-1971 is timeless, and its good people of our generation are keeping it alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandoFan Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Any music created circa 1960-1971 is timeless Please. 1% of it is timeless. 99% is either mediocre or garbage. Like any other era/movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Tizzle Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Please. 1% of it is timeless. 99% is either mediocre or garbage. Like any other era/movement. Decade: "Timeless"/"Mediocre,"Garbage" 60s: 70/30 70s: 40/60 80s: 20/80 90s: 60/40 From motown to the Beatles, its almost as if the geneology of modern day music was planted during this period of the "baby boomers". Elements of rock, blues, jazz all existed in the 50's, but it was as if it all came together during this decade (60's). Of course everyone is entitiled to judge the 60's as they will, I just hold "classic rock" as a personal favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, i won't bother with a % breakdown and all, but as far as "all" music from that era being timeless I have two words for you: Tiny Tim.

Yes, now I admit ALL is a harsh word to use, but 99% of it was not garbage. Look at it this way: when I listen to the radio I hear the best of the best, and not the likes of the ukulele branding hippy, "Tiny Tim."

hammerhead johnson Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Otis. R&B is Otis. and f***ing not "Dock of the Bay." gotta start with Otis before me discuss any more R&B. I love Otis Redding. My favorite song would probably be one of these five: "These Arms Of Mine" "That's How Strong My Love Is" "I've Been Loving You Too Long" "My Lover's Prayer" "I've Got Dreams To Remember" I could never decide between these. And of course, "Sittin On The Dock Of The Bay" is outstanding, albeit not a typical Redding track. Yeah, nobody comes anywhere close to Otis in the R&B realm as far as I'm concerned.

Any music created circa 1960-1971 is timeless, and its good people of our generation are keeping it alive. There is an inordinate amount of jazz fusion from the late sixties & early seventies that would just blow you mind. I have maybe 11 or 12 full crates of jazz oriented stuff from that time period alone. A good place to start would be soulseek. Download "Dusty Fingers" Volumes 1 through 10, and then go from there. Also, if you were to hear some organ reggae, like Jackie Mittoo's 1967 instrumental version of "Whiter Shade Of Pale" (insert salivating smiley here), you'd be fiending for some more. Jackie has maybe 15 LPs out there, and a bunch of compilations as well. That's really just the tip of the iceberg, though. Once again, try soulseek. Just do a search on that one track & I can guarantee that you'll be like damn it how come I haven't heard of any of this stuff before?

Wong & Owens Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Be Good-- Go get Otis Redding's Live at the Whisky. Play the song "Can't Turn You Loose." Turn up the volume, and get ready to move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
