Question for the board music snobs.

[PlasmaTwa2]

I thought everyone hated that Justin Bieber kid. He's like Hitler, but just not as cute and cuddly.

I'm not intending to dis the Frenchies, and much of what you mention above is quite pleasing.

And remember, several things happened with Schoenberg, and not everything he wrote was 12 tone. Listen to Verklärte Nacht, for example. Or even something like his three songs for orchestra.

Oh, I know Schoenberg only messed with twelve-tone for a while, but that's what I remember him for. If it wasn't for Shoenberg, Berg and Webern wouldn't've gotten into twelve-tone, and it may only have been a side note in the annals of serialism and set theory.

And Mahler wasn't 12 tone. But listen to the entire universe he creates. And what's more, even though the scope of the work is so magnificent, listen to the pleasing melodies, the small, quiet moments of tranquillity and sublime moments. Listen to the masterful use of the orchestra, and dream about being able to orchestrate like that. Look, for example, at the opening to his fifth:

I never said Mahler was twelve-tone. I know he was a master orchestrator. Hell, if you can write a piece that starts in one key, ends halfway across the circle of fifths, and actually works you're alright in my book. :thumbsup:

They've had some monumental stages before, but that's amazing. Hey, it keeps people in the industry working, right? That's a lot of stage people to get that shit together.

It's something like 720 total shifts over 11 days, so some of us will definitely stay busy during that time.

I hate all three

 

[Neutron66]

I have no opinion about the OP's question.

Mainly since I don't seem to listen to anything but Clutch anymore.

I like Nickelback

 

[Supafly]

Hell, I like Nickelback, not that I would go and buy their CDs.

Is it just me or does the singer of that obscure new post-grunge band sound like the singer from nickelback a lot? Bet if one of them gets sick, the other guy helps out :rofl:

This snob thing is a funny thing, a friend of mine was smoking Lucky Strike... until they got popular. Then he had to change, of course, no point in being mainstream. He was even snobbier about that bottle of Jack Daniels he used to have in his room. One evening as we were hanging out, he just shrugged and said, 'Hell, I can't even stand the taste of it, but it looked really cool for a while. Go ahead and take it home, it's useless'

Of course, his dad is a psychiatrist and he found this very fun, he let his son experiment with snobbiness (or is that snobdom)

Well, those were the eighties, i did a lot of bullshit back then too

If you truly are a music snob, then you will know who the woman in my avatar is.

 

[BlueBalls]

I don't think I've ever heard a single Wilco or Hinder song. Does this make me a bad person?

Plus, I thought Brokencyde were the worst band on the planet?

 

[~~whimsy~~]

I like Nickelback.

Now correct me if I'm wrong, but over the years on this board you have admitted to various deviant acts of congress with various fauna, flora and household objects. To the best of my knowledge the only things left unmolested are the current pope, the late queen mum (God Bless Her!) and Simon Cowell and yet you think judgement upon you rests upon your listening habits relating to Wilco and Hinder.

 

[mrtrebus]

I like Nickelback.

Explains a lot!

Well, now that you put it that way I guess you're right. No one apart from me has the moral authority to judge here. So be off with you children. For none of you are worthy enough to bask in my raw incestuous glory.

Mmmm, raw incestuous glory. . .

This is likely the smartest thing I've ever read on this board. You're totally right. Mahler took the "sonata principle" and stomped on it and made it beautiful.

It's something like 720 total shifts over 11 days, so some of us will definitely stay busy during that time.

Awesome! Buy yourself an extra beer and pretend it's from me. :glugglug:

Don't try to find logic in the posts of The Right Honourable Balls of Blue. Periodically he quotes himself and takes issue with the original post. Then, later, he PMs himself, asking to cuddle.

And he has a penchant for goats. That's all I'm going to say.

 

[cartman24]

Yes, everyone should still hate Nickelback, if they ever make some music with some variation then maybe they will be acceptable, but that's not happening. Hinder is terrible too, but they are nowhere near as overplayed.

 

[Werewolf]

Who are Hinder? Never heard of them... Wilco? WTF? :dunno:


Radiohead are good, but I prefer Tool.
