In light of the Ave Maria song, Blondie should get a mention, others :
- Beatles
- Pet Shop Boys
- U2 |
U2, they are an Ok band, but being before their time? Don't think so. |
For an irish band they've come a long way and I don't know anyone else who plays guitar like the Edge. Its like its his signature sound. Coupled that with irish inspiration I think a lot of their songs cannot be matched for their introspective lyrics and soothing rock themes. Have a listen to their early stuff I think you'll be impressed. |
Heard all their stuff, and pretty sure there are several guitarists much better than the Edge. |

lots of guitarists have a more recgonizable sound than edge. carlos santana has one of the most unique sounds. you know it instantly. |

Gotta say these are two wierd ones to put into the same sentence ... not sure whether to salute you or scratch my head in wonder and curiosity.
Agree about Talking Heads, though. The stuff they did at their peak continues to impress as time goes on. And they were great live. |

Not sure about ahead of their time, but this is currently sliding out of my speakers. (Check out the 2nd track link)
I'd suggest you slide it through yours. Less frenetic and more accomplished than the more familiar Chicken Payback from a year or so ago.
More clips for the curious
I concur with those that suggested the Clash though. |

| Cannot get that album out of my head. At first I thought it was too mellow, or not as brilliantly frenzied as Funeral, and it wasn't doing it for me--and then it permeated everything. Great piece of work. |

Only The Beatles I think can take charge in both categories.
In fact, I would say they are the single greatest musical achievment of the last century.
Zeplin transcends... I used to think Tool would be in a similar trend of Zeplin but I don't think I can support that theory any longer.
Definite honorable mentions:
Public Enemy
NWA
Beastie Boys
Hendrix
Saul Williams
NiN
2Pac
Sex Pistols
The Outlaws (Any of Waylon, Cash, Haggard, Williams Sr.)
Marty Robins
Willie Nelson
I could go on but won't |

This is about the billionth thread on music. Threads about other genres of art can be counted on the fingers of both hands.
Music, truly the basest artform. |
Agreed on the multitudes of music threads. I was just writing out loud when I made that post and the responses were pretty predictable.
As for music being the basest of art forms�what do you consider to be high art?
Again, answers are predictable.
I think the highest of all arts is the art of thinking (termed many other things).
I think why were are awestricken by an excellent painting, other that the talent and skill it took to produce�is that it stops the wandering mind so we can focus on a still image without the chaotic fluidity of everyday life, without our minds constant wandering here and there hence interfering with appreciating a single object.
And how this relates to the highest art�the art of thinking, of being (from a higher prospective leaving our egos behind)�is that if we can learn to appreciate the mountain range, the living person, the passing of time, the ride on this Universe in the same state of mind we appreciate a Van Gough, well then, we have learned to stop our mind�s natural erratic behavior (if even but for a millisecond) and have learned to think, to live in an artistic, cosmic frame�everything thus becomes art. It�s a state of mind.
Does anyone have a clue what I�m talking about? |

Link Wray
| Quote: |
| One of the more influential guitarist of the Fifties, Link Wray introduced the distorted fuzz-tone sound on his million selling single. "Rumble." Link Wray is credited with having more influence than his track record might indicate. Pete Townshend of the Who has referred to him as "the king." Ray has been called the godfather of the guitar power chord and the father of heavy metal rock. In fact, he might be this and more. |
