Maybe it's a reflection of a harsh reality for most bands... most CDs only have 2 or 3 good songs in them.
It's really rare when you can get a CD and like just about every single track in it. I had vinyls first, then tapes (walked around with a walkman for a long time ;), then CD's and MP3's. Not all the music I like made it to my iPod. I was just thinking about that this morning, actually. I have no Beatles song (not a one!) on my iPod, and barely anything from the 70's, only a handful of tracks from the 80's. It's all pretty contemporary for the most part , last 10 -15 years (except the Jazz and maybe a couple of hundreds of miscel. tracks). These days I stream a lot of music, so not 100% on my iPod anymore. |

I will agree the production cycle of music is forced far too much. I mean you would have never seen any of the great bands like Queen, Aerosmith, etc, put out a cd every single year. It is too forced that way. Where was he from, the pleiades ?

Seems to me there is a wide margin between anti-Beatles and worship!
I'm somewhere in between. LAST FM allows you to skip tracks you don't like, so you can just push through. I like the possibility of finding something I might like and just don't know yet. That's why I stream by genres, and also check out recommendations for stuff I like on YouTube. I have discovered quite a few excellent artists that way. |

^ I am the same way...about everyone I listen to. I too have never heard a whole album of anything that was ALL good. Never. I have also bought albums years ago after buying the single and wished I had just kept the single and that was all.
On the Beatles though. I remember back in October 1969 when "Abbey Road" came out. I wanted it badly, but it was $6.98, which was a small fortune for an album back then. Even in 1972, albums generally cost about $3.99 each, so in 1969 $6.98 was just ridiculous. I ended up getting it for Christmas that year, and loved it. I don't like Beatle music before 1967 when "Sgt. Pepper" came out. All that "Twist and Shout" crap sucks to me. I liked them from 1967-1970 when they broke up. I liked them but certainly didn't worship them. On a side note, I am old enough to have collected Beatle trading cards (Monkee ones too). ;)

Holy cow, you remember how much the album cost back in 1969?!! I'm lucky if I remember 1969!

I have the Blue album and the Red album at home somewhere. I remember buying them.
I'm pretty sure I used to own the White album at some point and maybe another one but who knows, these things tend to come and go I wonder if my parents still have somewhere in boxes the 45's with the label of an apple on them (nope, Steve jobs didn't even invent that, either ;) I keep meaning to transfer all the music I have on tapes to MP3 but never get to it. Does anyone know of good (preferably cheap or free) software that can do that? |

The Pretenders first album, self titled, every song is great, same for London Calling- the Clash
But I agree- especially today, just can't justify buying an album, CD My favorite Beatles song is "I Saw Her Standing There" |

Fool on the hill
Michelle In my life Imagine Because Here comes the sun The long and winding road Lucy in the Sky ..... I'm sure I forget some. oh, looky here, I do have Abbey Road after all!! Looks like I'm missing the Red album, that's odd... I remember I liked it quite a bit. Whoever "borrowed" it and "forgot" to return it to me needs my foot up their @ss :< |

My stepdaughter converted tons of cassettes to CD, and I can't remember what she used now. It wasn't free, but I don't think it cost much. If I can locate what it was, I will post here. I love her to death, but if SHE can do it, it must be a breeze.

Being the oldest here, I suppose it is appropriate that my favourite music is real music: Beethoven, Greig, Chopin, Leroy Anderson, Joplin (Scott, not that tuneless squawker from the 70s), and some select artists from more recent times. Gordon Lightfoot wrote some interesting stuff, as did Arlo Guthrie, and others. The classics take a lot of time to be appreciated for what they are: can you imagine writing a symphony? One guy? Pen and ink? Think about it! It makes the recent stuff out as fluffy drivel.
Just to annoy you all even further, Elvis was not the King of Rock and Roll, that title rightfully belongs to Little Richard; Elvis was crowned King because Little Richard was black! |

Love Scott Joplin. I was starting to play some of his compositions in high school but then life took a different turn and I had to give up the piano. Too bad, it was just getting to be fun ;) I was classically trained, so probably know some of the pieces you like. I still really enjoy listening to Claude Debussy, Chopin, Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, Eric Satie (spell?), Sergei Prokofief (spell?) and some others whose names I forget now, it's been too long. Some of those pieces are probably on my iPod
here is one of my very favorites http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGRO05WcNDk But you limit yourself IMO if you don't branch out and try out the more contemporary styles as well. On my iPod, Chopin might be sitting right next to Dr. Dre, and you know, it's OK |

Tlytle, I forgot Andre Segovia. How can I forget
I know there are others. Like I said b/f, it would be much easier for me to list music I DON't like ;) Tell me if you like these: Saint Preux, Concerto Pour Une Voix http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24TaTGljBAE (brb will find other contemporary stuff you might like) Last edited by tomato; 10-10-2010 at 02:36 AM. |

Supertramp? They were really pretty good back in the days with impressive piano segments, almost like classical.
Pink Floyd? What about movie soundtracks? There are some really, really good ones. Let me see, Dances with Wolves soundtrack? |

Thievery Corporation?
MC Solaar? John Surman? Oh yeah, try this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhMUG7tNUR8 (it's pretty modern but give it a shot, let the first minute go by before making a judgment) and here is another one I personally really, really love because I grew up with it Michel Columbier, Emanuel click on this site and it'll start playing. http://www.michelcolombier.com/ Branford Marsalis also plays it in his album Romances for Saxophones http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utGF0oCCZBs hope you like them |

My little cousin ended up getting me the album for Christmas (actually my aunt, of course), and it was the best gift I got that year, for sure. I still have the original, although it's so scratchy it's unplayable. Doesn't matter though.
