Entre_Perpetuo Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Bono's kid has a band, and they've put out an album today, and I can tell just from iTunes samples it's both heavily derivative of U2 (and their contemporaries) and has more life in it than nearly anything Bono himself has done in at least a decade, probably two. It also sounds better than other stuff on the iTunes front page. And by my initial estimation... they're not amazing, just decent. Boy what a state things are in for popular "alternative rock."

Union 5-3992 Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Elton John's 70s output is absurd. 10 quality albums (2 of them doubles) in 7 years. And the tracks he scrapped and released as singles during this time could have made another quality record. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That really is the sound he seemed to have been aiming for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elton john's 70's output (at least through Captain Fantastic for me......Blues Moves is OK) is still my fav run by any band/artist. It's not even close for me. Nobody touches it IMO.

bluefox4000 Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 I just have to say this......you can disagree but........modern metal production sucks ass. everything compressed and the drums (i'm a big drum fan) All the same flat lifeless sound. i've heard it over multiple metal albums this year. They should get their sit together. luckily not all bands have this problem.....but it's enough where i've noticed it so...... Mick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordgalaxy Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 It seems one of Will Ferrell's sons, Magnus, is in a band and recently at a benefit concert, Will got on stage and played some cowbell during their cover of Creep by Radiohead.

Sonatine Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 I can still recall song lyrics from a majority of rock/metal bands I used to indulge with over 30+ years ago. And yet I can barely remember some of their most recent output over the last 5-10 years, with Rush being one of them. Is that because modern music is more forgettable or is it just my addled brain unwilling to absorb new information? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you count multiple releases on a single day? I'm stacking a bunch of new records now for time I know I'll miss later. I'm up to 12 atm to buy some wiggle room.

I didn’t do too well last time I tried, wound up going back in the last few weeks of the year to play loads of catch up while I had Covid. I’d say the important thing is that you listen to the quantity of music you set out for yourself by the end of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReRushed Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 If a band like U2 wrote and recorded "Bravado" it would be considered a classic. One of the best songs ever. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union 5-3992 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Been getting back into heavy metal lately. I'm now revisting Abbath after 5 years. They released two whole albums I haven't heard yet?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
