hed-kandi/funky-house or whatever the fuck perma-tanned, semi-plastic abominations of wannabe-wag slags listen to in expensive clubs while they drink cocktails and attempt to snare brentford reserve footballers by showing their nipples to any dribbling bufoon that saunters past.
yourselves?
Jazz
you cannot all play a solo at the same time.
^
I think we have a winner in the catagory of "wittiest reply of the day"
shittiest*
no,
I think that award goes to you.
Congratulations!
Your experience of jazz is clearly bery limited.
*very
Funk
Disco
Reggae
I think I might be racist.
I think you might be Morrissey.
:D
Ska
why?
(i love ska/reggae etc)
I don't know
I can't really rationalise it
il let you off
cos you're a chelsea fan
I suppose if I'm fair
it isn't all ska, more pop-punky ska stuff. The Mighty Mighty Bosstones make me violently sick
oh well if its that shite then im all on board
reel big fish etc make me want to vom (i think i find ska-punk worse because i actually like old ska) although capdown were immense
:'(
Ska+Punk= Regurigitation time
for me.
post-punk
0 x good songs.
Bad dress.
Shitty attitude.
Not even Love Will Tear Us Apart?
Come onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.
gang of four?
non?
Just kill yourself now
I'll do it for him
wrong

Ska makes me want to take a dump in my own ears to block out the sound.
this is a procedure that requires skill
but in the case of blocking out ska, entirely worth it
^
it makes me antsy and annoyed and a little bit angry
"Irish" Punk
a la Drop Kick Murphies makes me want to put babies on spikes. Seriousleh.
As much as I really hate the idea of writing off an entire genre
and all that that stands for and stuff, I've not heard a reggae song that I like in my entire life.
not even anything by Robert Marley ?
Can't stand it, sorry.
Everything from UB40 to Horace Andy, Chaka Demus to whoeverelseyoucanthinkof.
Bob Marley now has the default reaction of making me think of stoned students, which admittedly isn't his fault but doesn't really help the situation in my mind.
don't apologise, but..
I'm going to do you a compilation cd and send it over with poster of an alien sporting the caption "take me to your dealer"
Don't walk on the grass, smoke it!!!!!!
free the weed!!!1ONE!!
if UB40 has been a reggae benchmark
its no wonder
:)
I wasn't being entirely serious. I've heard lots of 'proper' reggae that people would recommend when I tell them I don't much like it, and it all leaves me cold.
i know you weren't
;)
the first couple of UB40 albums are great
they slotted rigth i with specials and the beat and that
king
for for thought
one in ten
earth dies screaming
awesome tunes
you're joking right?
good
listen to 'johnny too bad'
by the slickers. if you still think that then you can lay reggae to rest as it were
Me neither
I like one reggae song and one reggae song only.
And that reggae song is apparently officially classed as 'Dancehall.' That reggae/dancehall song is Ring the Alarm, and it's freaking awesome.
I hate reggae too
I was discussing this violently the other evening and someone called me racist which I found uncharitable to say the least, especially given my professed love for much of the hip hop genre.
The only song I like is 'Many Rivers to Cross' by Jimmy Cliff but that's more of a soul song surely?
jimmy cliff's a difficult one
a lot of his stuff borders soul but most of his stuff is predominantly classed as reggae
funky house
mostly because of the twats that like it, and the fact that it gives me a headache
I once
got railroaded into going to a funky house night where they had a live saxophonist.
A live saxophonist. Her name on the posters was 'Lady Di.'
that sounds like a nightmare
an actual nightmare
Jazz, every time.
Whenever I hear the intro to Withnail and I, listening to the crowd whoop as some cock with a sax rips apart 'Whiter Shade of Pale' I feel like leaping back in time, finding the venue, dropping from the ceiling onto the stage and shouting 'Stop this nonsense now'. You're messing up the harmony, the melody and, to paraphrase Homer Simpson 'You're making it up as you go along'. The dynamic of jazz is so utterly craven. It makes installation art look rigorous.
I once nearly punched a jazz fan friend of a friend (he was also an SWP member) who said that compared to jazz, 'the Beatles were a pile of sh*t'.
the beatles
are a pile of shit compared to most things....
^This
.
right
you and me - outside now. this mop-top mockery has gone far enough.
Please for the love of God
Tell me you're joking??
Or
I'll cry :(
beatles
Mozart's rubbish as well.
Yes.
Does my nut in. Most of the bands are american as well.
Happy Hardcore
I think (hope) it's disappeared thankfully
god..
yes. kill it now.
agreed
although it's making a worrying resurgence under the veil of the 'hard house' scene. e.g. that rank Basshunter tune that was somehow no.1 for a couple of weeks.
I'm not happy with the kicking Happy Hardcore is getting here
It's the king of genres!
it's the bastard brother of drum'n'bass
which has produced albums like Goldie's Timeless, Reprazent's New Forms, London Elektricity's Billion Dollar Gravy, etc. whereas Happy Hardcore has only ever given us ABSOLUTE HARDCORE MADNESS VOL.44564 MIXED BY SI & DANGER!!!! HARDCORE WILL NEVER DIE!!!!!!1111
You're the bastard brother of Drum'n'bass
Whilst what you say is of course true, it did also give us 'Shooting Star', which is brilliant. S'all about the singles :)
i love all the tv adverts
for 'mega fucking mash up 8' or 'banging brain-melters 6"
frantic zooming in and out
shouting
the DJ (normally simon spazzer or davey b) sticking their tongue out at the camera (which is still zooming in and out)
Me either
Some of the best music ever written: Some Justice by Urban Shakedown Compounded by Gordon Edge, Trip to the Moon by Acen and, of course, I'm Raving I'm Raving by Shut Up and Dance.
Some Justice and I'm Raving, I'm Raving
are hardcore, not happy hardcore. I'm not familiar with the other two tracks you mention but if they're the same kind of music then they are as well. Happy hardcore came later, when hardcore split into happy hardcore and drum'n'bass.
Well don't I look like a silly billy
I always knew it as hardcore at the time but I've since heard people refering to it as 'happy hardcore' so assumed I must have got it wrong. I sometimes heard it described as 'breakbeat' as well but maybe that's sub-genre of hardcore.
Anyway, yes I would say Compounded and Trip to the Moon are the same style. See for yourself, Compounded:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qk1T1_hM4w (skip to 1:35 for the 'good bit')
Trip to the Moon:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfMlQJ5SeFo (that's Part II, there were about four different parts and countless remixes, Part II was always my favourite)
all great hardcore tunes
this abomination, on the other hand, is happy hardcore: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1e6jMBmRkI
Juno music
I have never heard a song I like from the following genres.
Reggae
Hip-Hop
Rap
R&B
Ska
Soul
Believe it or not I'm not racist, why is it that all the sterotypical "black" music is the music I dislike.
Not even Barry White?!
you're racist
wow
you're missing out on a lot of amazing music.
This, a million times over.
Start here and embark on a funk and soul odyssey, guaranteed to entice girls at bus stops across the world:
http://www.amazon.com/New-Orleans-Funk-Various-Artists/dp/B00004Y246
And a little digging is all it takes to unearth loads of incredible, non-stereotypical hip hop.
you need to hear some good rap and hip hop
pronto.
I'll make you a mix cd.
srsly this ^
for the love of christ your horizons are narrow!
My horizons aren't narrow..
..it's just that I havent heard anything from these genres that I like yet.
It doesn't meen that I've dismissed them completely.
well expand immediately then
because you're missing out
happy hardcore
handbag house
I just don't see anything worthwhile in either.
handbag house
is a fucking great name for a genre though.
Punk
mainly fairly boring
are you talking 70's british punk?
I'd be inclined to agree, if it wasn't for the influence it had on hardcore punk.
wrong
Drum 'n' Bass
See this thread

^Oh and this
.
Why do so many people love Pendulum?
They're absolute dogshite.
'Oirish-American' pseudo-celtic plastic paddy cuntcore like.....
Dropkick Murphys, Flogging Molly, Black 47 et al make me want to go on a killing spree through the streets of Boston (MA or Lincs, I'm not fussed)
Commercial R&B, the way in which this bland, generic, material goods obsessed shallow shite has hijacked the name of an honourable musical genre must irritate fans of delta blues/John Lee Hooker et al at least as much as the fake emo movement drives those of us who remember the real deal to despair.
seconded on all 3
the hijacking of emo upsets me greatly
What is the real emo?
Gloria Estefan & The Miami Sound Machine
True til' death.
Elliot
and Sunny Day Real Estate and Texas Is The Reason
not to forget
the get up kids.
R N' B
in it's most recent form, say from 1995 onwards, Usher, R Kelly, Joe, all the identikit divas, etc. All those pathetic slow burner ballads with no tune, recycled samples from good old songs, and unnecessary vocal histronics, they do nothing for me...
^^this
admittedly I have already once noted my hatred of said "Irish" "punk", but I thought you deserved note for such an excellent turn of phrase...
Sorry I'm late ;
someone order a can of worms, yeah?
Those hard-trance songs with lyrics like
"i wanna walk in the sun, on the sand, in your hands, i wanna love all the time - sun, sand, sun, sun, beach, love, sex, sand, sun, sun, beach" and the vocals have been altered so much it sounds like Joe Pasquali's singing it
and also with that incessant "boomboomboomboom" bassline that is totally mandatory whether it fits or not
bland stadium ROCK like Nickelback, Hinder, etc.
oh and 'Gypsy-Punk'- urgh.
^ this
also agreed on the r'n'b stuff, and also cookie-cutter pop and generic chart indie (see: Snow Patrol, Razorlight et al)
