Should I be worried as I find most of the music in this thread more to my taste than the ones posted in the āWhat Are You Listening To Latelyā -thread?
Alan Parsons Project - amazing stuff, Sparks - one of the all time greats, Todd Rundgren - a genius etc. Not even mentioning Sisters Of Mercy, Nine Inch Nails, Kiss and all the others mentioned here.
Yes, Iām in my fourties but I do buy a lot of new music on vinyl too. Iām just not into techno or idm that much besides the obligatory Aphex Twin and Squarepusher.
Donāt worry. Iāll pick America over Autechre any day of the week, too.
Beautiful words, brother! Beautiful words.
Hahaha, ace! I have to admit, some of that stuff I wouldnāt have touched with a ten foot pole a few years back.
Yep. Same here. I remember when Arcade Fireās second album came out and I was furious when they compared it to Bruce Springsteen in the reviews. In my mind Springsteen was the lamest, most boring blue jeans and white tee-shirt rock dude I could think of.
Maybe five years later I had every Bruce album in my collection and I consider myself a fan.
Yacht Rock all the way for me.
I think ārockā (and pop, rnb, ect) is more musically adventurous than most electronic (aphex is up there, though). Obviously electronic is pushing the envelope further forward wrt to production. Iām loud and proud genre neutral.
Less good with his tax returns thoughā¦
Somebody get me an ironing board because I am in creases!!!
Given his adept musical abilities I would like to think that he has some amazing reasoning. Akin to V for Vendetta or some other activist who believes the world should be running a different way. Shame he hasnāt got Elektron boxes And could chime inā¦ that said, I am sure he has an OP-1.
blast that shit proud. the new stuff sheās been doing from her bedroom in quarantine is amazing
True, all 3 songs have been really good so far. I think that partly has to do with ag cook
Yacht Rock aficionados unite!
I imagine Grimes singing this to baby X Ć A-12 while rocking him to sleep on a mission to Mars.
Fucking smooth man.
In fact, nectar of the Gods!
so this one I feel actually embarrassed for likingā¦but I can admit it
this type of shit is just not my thing. but two tracks by these guys crack me up.
the singer is hilarious.
holy shit ha ha ha ha. OOOOOOOO
gotta say iām a bit weirded out by the āi donāt really like electronic musicā people on this forum
those wheels have never touched pavementā¦FOR SHAME
Another Yacht Rock classic, this time by a great jazz/studio guitarist with the help of a guest vocalist.
This probably made more money for him than any of his other albums combined.
Oh yeah, and these jazz legends also had their Yacht Rock hit around the same time:
