What is this vinyl you talk of?

Shellac brings me my music!

Try killing someone with a CD, much harder!

Not that long ago we had a blackout... I was the only one who could play music hehehehe

But yes, plenty of things were better in the past, not everything... but plenty... but that is a whole different topic ;)

There are performers who what you hear them perform is actually below their true abilities or talent.  For better or for worse they are performing what sells.  I have heard that this is true of Lady Gag also.  Kind of a sad situation in some ways.

Scroobius Pip said it better than I can:

Thou shalt not put musicians and recording artists on ridiculous pedestals, no matter how good they are, or were.

The Beatles... were just a band

Led Zeppelin... just a band.

The Beach Boys... just a band.

The Sex Pistols... just a band.

The Clash... just a band.

Crass... just a band.

Minor Theat... just a band.

The Cure... just a band.

The Smiths... just a band.

Nirvana... just a band.

The Pixies... just a band.

Oasis... just a band.

Radiohead... just a band.

Bloc Party... just a band.

The Arctic Monkeys... just a band.

THE NEXT BIG THING? Just a band.

well it's not about pedestals, it's about enriching your life by listening to quality music instead of just partaking in the horsefeed that the mainstream offers you.

you have to use the ip with the port for the stream..sl won't recognise it by just the regular link..

 

Also i found a quote from gaga about those songs sounding a like..

 

" If you put the songs next to each other, side by side, the only similarities are the chord progression. It’s the same one that’s been in disco music for the last 50 years.”

something like this here would work

 

http://server1.rockhausradio.de:8220 that or something like this http://24.49.254.117:8008

 

if you want to see the stream like those above..you just go to the link provided by the OP and click one of the players  to play the station if you have one of them..then open with your player and right click the station in the play list and view file info and it will give you the stream info..

i would post it but i am not the OP and it's not my place..those ip's up there are from other net stations that have been around SL for awhile..

Thanks -- got the stream, the same as the OP gave me.

 

I can listen to the stream on my computer, and the music seems good but I have never heard these songs :-)

And The Beatles aren't mainstream? And suggesting they should be in everyone's (or at least, anyone with taste) top ten isn't pedestal-raising?

Really, I don't have anything against them. I love the trippiness of Magical Mystery Tour and the rawness of Please Please Me. I'm probably into a lot of the same bands that you are. I'd make a guess that The Who, The Stones, The Kinks and perhaps Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd find as much favour with you as they do with me. I just suggest that your opening remarks came off as unnecessarily divisive, and put off as many people as you'd attract.

The Beatles WERE not mainstream, they are now.

 

Technically you can say if music is good or not because it is not just about taste.

People have good voices, can write music, play instruments... or not.

Like the Beatles or not, they could make technically very good songs, their songs reached a large audience, their music is loved decades later, their music influenced countless of current artists, etc, etc.

There were thousands of bands in the 1960s that never had a hit, nobody ever heard about that are now forgotten.

So I think you can say that some music is very good, even if you don't like it.

Simply because of the abilities of the artists.

An abilitiy that today often has nothing to do with talent but more about making sure you have a studio full of people very talented at pushing buttons.
