Principia Discordia

Must have memory and or nostalgia.

Memory and nostalgia:
Formative musical years
Formative musical group
Music video inspired Cramulan meme.


Also I wanted to bonk the girl with the braces because I was 12 ish at the time.

This was, actually pretty formative.

To put it in perspective, if the song in the OP were a person, it could go to war, buy cigarettes, get married, and buy porno mags if kids even do that anymore. It could not, however, drink alcohol.

This realization makes me feel old.

That and the fact that the songs of my late childhood are now Classic Rock.

More on that later.

The first metal band I was REALLY into was Savatage.  Gutter Ballet was the album and when I first saw the video on Headbanger's Ball for the title track, I was instantly hooked and listened to that fucker repeatedly for months.  I'm surprised I didn't wear the tape out.

When The Crowds Are Gone

Criss Oliva was. one of the best guitarists around but I think was underappreciated because Savatage never really hit it big.  He was tragically killed by a stupid-ass drunk driver in 93.


Fun Fact:  Savatage are now the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

I won't spag up the thread but the other mention I have to make is Frank Black and The Pixies.  I was a huge Nirvana fan when they hit the scene but my introduction to alternative/post-modern music was Mr. Black.  Teenager of the Year (which I'm listening to as we speak, er type) was the essential album.


It's 18 years old but doesn't have that dated 90's sound.  He's a goddamned musical, hook-writing genius.

It's a Long Way to Tipperary

Up to mighty London came
An Irish lad one day,
All the streets were paved with gold,
So everyone was gay!
Singing songs of Piccadilly,
Strand, and Leicester Square,
'Til Paddy got excited and
He shouted to them there:

It's a long way to Tipperary,
It's a long way to go.
It's a long way to Tipperary
To the sweetest girl I know!
Goodbye Piccadilly,
Farewell Leicester Square!
It's a long long way to Tipperary,
But my heart's right there.

Paddy wrote a letter
To his Irish Molly O',
Saying, "Should you not receive it,
Write and let me know!
If I make mistakes in "spelling",
Molly dear", said he,
"Remember it's the pen, that's bad,
Don't lay the blame on me".

It's a long way to Tipperary,
It's a long way to go.
It's a long way to Tipperary
To the sweetest girl I know!
Goodbye Piccadilly,
Farewell Leicester Square,
It's a long long way to Tipperary,
But my heart's right there.

Molly wrote a neat reply
To Irish Paddy O',
Saying, "Mike Maloney wants
To marry me, and so
Leave the Strand and Piccadilly,
Or you'll be to blame,
For love has fairly drove me silly,
Hoping you're the same!"

It's a long way to Tipperary,
It's a long way to go.
It's a long way to Tipperary
To the sweetest girl I know!
Goodbye Piccadilly,
Farewell Leicester Square,
It's a long long way to Tipperary,
But my heart's right there.

Extra World War I trench verse

That's the wrong way to tickle Mary,
That's the wrong way to kiss!
Don't you know that over here, lad,
They like it best like this!
Hooray pour le Francais!
Farewell, Angleterre!
We didn't know the way to tickle Mary,
But we learned how, over there!

Most of my early listening comes from my dad's collection, which is why my music tastes range so deeply and I have every Yes album to date [with Jon Anderson.]

I'm not having an easy time dealing with the idea that music I listened to in middle school is now considered classic rock. I realized that Bush isn't quite there yet the other night, as Sixteen Stone came out in 1995, but Stone Temple Pilots are, Nirvana definitely is, Nine Inch Nails too. Alice in Chains? Yep. Tool is almost there. Yes, Tool. Tool as classic rock. FML.

I really didn't get into alternative until high school though. Mostly because even though I knew the rock songs from the radio and my parents' listening to it, my mind was still fixed on the idea of listening to pop and early big beat electronica. My dad would actually bring me home mix tapes from a coworker of his that consisted of Moby before he started to suck, and some of The Prodigy's earlier works from Experience. This was like...93-94.

Big beat rolled into industrial in 97 when I was introduced to Skinny Puppy and Front Line Assembly from the goth kids who heard I was into techno, and pop was pretty much thrown behind me as I moved into what my school liked to call "black t-shirt bands," and my wardrobe teetered between grunge and goth...which was all sorts of fun in the Florida heat. I remember listening to the Deftones in 10th grade, and a girl sitting near me wanted to listen, so I handed over ye olde headphones and Discman, and she went, "Ewww...how are you like, supposed to dance to stuff like that? I don't understand rock and roll, it's like, so weird." I still remember that to this fucking day, 15 years ago.

Oh yeah, I guess the Deftones are teetering on the "classic rock" mark now too, eh?  :eek:

The sun could die of old age, and the Deftones would not be considered "classic rock".  Nor, at the heat death or collapse of the universe, will they have picked up the adjective "classic" or even "rock".

Oh they're rock. Damnit. I know this first hand.

Chino Moreno blew off my pance with his smooth voice over the heavy rifts.

For serious. Ask Richter, he was there.

Regardless of the state of your pance, they are not rock.

Just for that, I'm wearing my Deftones shirt to the Department of Taxation today.

Cause like...I have no fucking idea...I'm just cranky I have to go yell at the state, again, for "forgetting" my refund, again, because they wrote a goddamn check to Curt Schilling.

There are a few.  I'll take this from the standpoint, "when did you start listening to stuff other people weren't listening to?"

The first move away was slight¹.  I always liked George Harrison songs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOyHUQVPt1s) more than the Lennon/McCartney stuff.  Tame, I know.  But that led me to Yes (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ft20jnLpfG8) which is pretentious shite, but I loved that shit, as it appealed to my budding "difficult music" side (and eventually led to King Crimson, mathcore, et al.  But this is about the first song to shift personal paradigms.

So, I was doing Art Rock for a while, and then I was introduced to something that blew my head off (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJjuVzZQj0U).².  There wasn't much going back after that, especially when I heard the best punk band, ever (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bX275Crxxc).  Sure, I kept my pretentious art wankery around, because I still liked the technique and musicality. 

But everything changed when I heard the album that changed everything (http://www.last.fm/music/Minutemen/Double+Nickels+on+the+Dime)³.  You had the ideology of punk, and the art rock sensibility.  You had anti-authoritarian lyrics, but they were well thought out, not just yelling.  You had melodic and harmonic skills, but recorded on a shoestring.  This is the album that showed me you could be a punk drummer, and yet use artsy techniques to deliver.

The art punk thing took a dark turn (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2HrkilhnN8)⁴ which really got a hold of me (and Nick has never gotten tiresome since).  That led me to the goth (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_deFnmzoyDE) thing, and then the three major elements (punk, art, goth) came together (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUHCl4TUdTA). 

Everything since has been commentary.

The fact you posted my favorite Beatles song AND favorite Yes song in the same post makes me thing we need to drink bourbon and listen to music together sometime. Or that we need to get out of each others heads. Or something.

The fact that you guys HAVE a favorite Beatles and/or Yes song is cause for concern. :lulz:

HAR!  Noob.

Classic Rock = Elton John (70s stuff), The Rolling Stones,  Dr Hook & The Medicine Show, Jefferson Airplane, and every shitty 60s-70s band found in every jukebox in every shithole dive found in America.

I was already a junior NCO when Losing My Religion came out.

Wouldn't REM have to be rock in the first place to be classic rock? :lulz:

Well, yes. That's part of my argument. What you list is what I KNOW as classic rock. Now they're giving that label to everything before 1995, which I think puts every track on the Empire Records OST in the running.

In the mid/late 80s, I was listening to the "classic rock" station (because "alternative" was only being played on college radio, and I was nowhere near a college).  They played Zepplin, The Who, The Animals.. Basically, the British Invasion and anyone who played at Woodstock.  I roughly peg that at about a 20-year window (~'65 to ~'85)

The thing is, that window kept moving.  I was actually shocked when I heard the Police on a "classic rock" station.  Since then, any band that's been around for about 20 years is fair game: U2, The Knack, Blondie, Talking Heads...

It might explain his taste in music though  :wink:

Once upon a time I owned a little tea room and I used to play a lot of jazz and stuff and this was one of my favourites. It got played a lot more than the others because I always found something magical about Bing Crosby's delicious bass-baritone singing the lyrics of

There Ain't No Sweet Man That's Worth The Salt Of My Tears


Shaking like a leaf on a tree 
That's coming loose from the stem 
Shaking like a leaf on a tree 
Because I'm coming loose from my man 

I'm like a weeping willow 
Weeping on my pillow 
For years & years 
There ain't no sweet man 
That's worth the salt of my tears 

Down & down he dragged me 
Like a fiend he nagged me 
For years & years 
There ain't no sweet man 
That's worth the salt of my tears 
[ Lyrics from: worth+the+salt+of+my+tears_20488556.html ] 
Although I may be blue 
Still I'm through 
I must tell him goodbye 
Rather than have that man 
Gonna lay me down & just die 

So, broken-hearted sisters 
Aggravating misters 
Lend me your ears 
There ain't no sweet man 
That's worth the salt of my tears

I once got a thankyou letter from a passing holidaymaker addressed to "Ms Bix Beiderbecke", and all I did was bake him some scones, make him a nice cuppa and play him some classy tracks.

Something like this. Jukeboxes and radio, before radio totally sucked. Sir Douglas Quintet from early childhood till the day I die. Texas garage psyche and bluesy shit, burned a lot of sleep when I was a kid listening to underground radio in the wee hours...13th Floor Elevators, Johnny Winter, the works. I used to like the Beatles too but you're right, a lot of their stuff sounds weak now. I'm never gonna forgive Paul for "Another Day", that guy could scream like Little Richard and he threw it away to do a bunch of lame shit. Country was unavoidable and I tried to hate it because at our school you could either be a hippie or a shitkicker, but I ended up secretly liking a lot of it (probably one of my first lessons that I was never going to fit in). Old Who (Keith Moon!), Stones, Cooper, Trapeze, Trower, Floyd, Zep (Zep hasn't aged well either, I've been completely burned out on it for years). No disco but P-Funk was great. Probably a lot of others I can't recall at the moment.

REM were absolutely Rock and Roll.  Quirky rock and roll for sure. 


Not to mention, when everyone was going plaid and fuzzed out grunge guitars in 1992, they put out Automatic For the People which was a quiet, retrained, yet every bit as powerful album.  They've done things their way for pretty much their entire career despite trends and label pressure.


That's pretty Rock and Roll in my book.

They're trite college pop. And Peter Buck is a fuckburger.

WHATEVER

          how about we just listen to more "dj mixes" by fly by nite hookups of yours? who can't mix?! i've endured years of your i tunes and never once heard any einsturzende. i'll just assume you pretty much never actually listen to anything that isn't chick rock or mopey emo guy desperatism. i'm done spagging up this thread, so just come arm wrestle me IRL.

I listen to guy stuff and most of what I get turned on to, I get from working musicians and I never heard of Einsturzende Neubauten.  :?

Ive heard of them. Never listened to them. The person who wanted to expose me to them was really into joy division who i cant stand. Unfair probably but it was an educated not going to do it.

"Save".  :lol: You know what happens to those guys.

DO WE

          need to re-establish men's superior musical tastes? if not, continue to listen to katy perry.

You make no sense.

WHATEVER

          how about we just listen to more "dj mixes" by fly by nite hookups of yours? who can't mix?! i've endured years of your i tunes and never once heard any einsturzende. i'll just assume you pretty much never actually listen to anything that isn't chick rock or mopey emo guy desperatism. i'm done spagging up this thread, so just come arm wrestle me IRL.

:lulz: OK, first of all, THAT GUY WAS NOT A HOOKUP. He's dumb as rocks and I can't stand him. Second, the itunes playlist I have on for working hours is a specific list for making beads. It's conducive to making beads in the same way that System of a Down is conducive to road trips.

I approve of that.

However, Bon Jovi has its place.

For example, you, your drummer and your imminently ex-roommate are in a U-Haul, driving.

It's late August because, well, no one in MA moves outside of 29 Aug-3 Sept, amirite?

Living On A Prayer comes on while you're rolling through Newton.

What do you do? WHAT DO YOU DO?

Neubaten is awesome.

Incorrect. You roll down the windows and let the world know how bad of a vocal trio you are.

Pop in a CD that doesn't suck, or dig up my mp3 player, or find another station, or just turn the shit off. That dude did an ADVIL commercial, FFS.

I don't watch TV but I searched it up on youtube because somebody emailed me and told me about it. "You've gotta see this, it's pathetic..."  :lulz: "I don't have room on my schedule for pain, people just see me onstage they don't know I'm a singer/philanthropist/father/blah blah blah..."  Bill Hicks had something to say about corporate shills, too. SUCK SATAN'S COCK!!!!!  :lulz:

As an aside,  I was bartending when "I'll Be There For You" came out and when somebody played it, you'd always see one or two of the drunks start looking down in their beer ("I DIDN'T MEAN TO MISS YOUR BIRTHDAY BAYBEE...") and then they'd get up and go home...the owner had it taken off the jukebox.  :lulz: You do hear Bon Jovi in tittie bars a lot, but that's only because the dancers usually pick their own music. Maybe people who have to let creepy old men shove bills in their g-strings need overly-sentimental emo schlock to balance it out, I dunno. And that's just the old stuff. Everything I've heard post-80's has been like Michael Bolton "adult easy listening".  :x

He Suu, if you're looking for something more current to tickle your 70's art-rock funnybone, check out Grizzly Bear.  I think you'd like them.

Will do, thanks.

My mom used to listen to them a lot when i was a wee lad. First song I ever remember hearing.

Ok. This is the thread I want.

This song does not work without the video.  Also, this video was being played in 1994. That's my end of the world isn't it? 1994?

Try this one too. I like it more musically. Same artist same album:

This will be classic rock in a year and a half.

Think About that. Heresy By Nine Inch Nails will be on par with the Beatles in less than two years.  I hate you for your youth. I'm going to rewind this so I can hate my inheritors more than my parents.

I'm currently listening to a hugely influential band during my formative years.

Fates Warning.

They are kinda like Dream Theater, if Dream Theater had any soul and remembered that they are Rock and Roll.

This is the music of my childhood.

Ah Heresy. The only song within my entire catalog of black t-shirt bands that my mom positively abhorred. My dad fucking loves NIN, though. So I got to keep my CD.

Mom was into New Wave in the 80s, but in the 70s she was totally a Dead Head and Southern Rock fiend, whereas my dad was a 70s Art Rock acid-tripper turned 80s Punk Rocker. So we had a massive variety in my house growing up. They both had epic hair up until I was about 7.

It wasn't Saturday in the Suu house until I was being woken up by one of these tracks. That meant mom was cleaning, and if we wanted to change the music, we had to clean, too:

UB40 always puts me in the mood to clean to this day.......Guess I should play it once in a while.

I was brought up with Steely Dan (still love 'em), and a bit of Sting.

Liked boy band music when I was 10-11, liked Coldplay's hits just after that, and liked Metallica because my friends did, and got fucking obsessed with Beatles and XTC (the band that made that Dear God song, not the drug). Other than that, my taste in music is derived partly from my dad's vinyl collection (Tom Waits, Talking Heads, Leonard Cohen) and my sister's boyfriend's iTunes library (The National, Grizzly Bear, Fleet Foxes, Pixies, Gang of Four). About two years ago, my taste in music started getting so eclectic, it's hard to keep track of.

Weird to think that in 20-30 years, most of my musical nostalgia will be for music from before I was born.

Somebody kept pm'ing me on facebook last night raving about the Dukes of September. It's Donald Fagen and Michael McDonald with Boz Scaggs and I don't know who else. I'm not really a Steely Dan person but if that's your thing, definitely check them out.

I've always had a thing for Tom Jones music for as long as i can remember.

I can't put my finger on why but they are amongst the most easily singable songs i know because none of them have high pitched notes which for some reason i can't hit because of my deep voice.

I highly reccommend you continue listening to your dad's and sister's boyfriend's music.
