Dscrapre Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Who are two artists that you like equally that you feel represent opposite ends of the musical spectrum? For instance my spread is: Fleetwood Mac - Pop rock/blues. Radio friendly, pleasant rock music. and Death Grips - Experimental Hip-Hop. Described by many (including myself) as "Screaming Hobo Rap".

Cyclonus X-1 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Gentle Giant -- These guys were able to play 637 different instruments. And they were awesome. and Nirvana -- These guys were able to play two chords. And they were awesome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushBoingo Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Very easy answer. My top five favorite artists which all are quite far apart from each other, but the two most distinct, far away ones are Rush and Owl City Rush (for those who don't know) is very progressive, have long songs, is quite heavy, and barely received any top 40 airplay. Lyrical content includes fiction, science, politics, religion, analysis of people, etc. Owl city falls under the genre of indie synth pop/rock, has more standard length songs, has two top 40 hits (one of which went to number 1). Lyrical content includes coping with the author's insomnia and introversion, ideas from daydreams, and the standard love songs (occasionally). Despite these differences both are very talented and innovative within their respective genres, both have a great passion for music, and both make me happy. The closest Rush comes to Owl City is probably the Hold Your Fire album, and the closest Owl city comes to Rush (stylistically anyway, not sound-wise) is his song Cave In.

Segue Myles Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Wow... Beach Noys- so sweet, so talented. Opeth- the early stuff rips my face off, and yet they still sound amazing! However, I still think my top five is all so diverse: 1) Lacuna Coil- amazingly beautiful goth metal/alternative Italian sextet. A lot of haunting songs, and Cristina Scabbia has my all ti.e favourite voice!2) Khoma- they have four amazing albums, and everyone ignores them! No one seems to know the name, and yet they are a brilliant blend of slow, melancholy indie and crushing, devastating metal!3) Bruce Springsteen - the finest songwriter in the world. But I ragged on enough about him on this site!4) Rush- yup. 5) Miles Davis- simply amazing. I don't even like jazz, but his work from the fifties onwards blows my mind!

GrandDesigner Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Sunn O))) - dark, drone, ambient "music" Tegan & Sara - simple, acousticy pop music I literally have something of every single genre that I can enjoy and appreciate. Even rap and country, though they might be my smallest selection as I can't stand 99.9% of either genre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Territorial_Game Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I really enjoy a lot of the Texas music scene. I guess for an equivalency, let's put Cody Canada & The Departed and Mastodon on the same level of enjoyment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclonus X-1 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 RushallthewaytoYes :) I'm not sure if you could say you have the most eclectic taste...nice try! In a fashion, they're at opposite ends of the musical spectrum. Rush represents the evolutionary awesomeness that can come about when three guys stick together for a billion years and grow with each other. Yes represents the disparate awesomeness that can come about when really talented guys join and leave a band every other day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReRushed Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Death Grips - Experimental Hip-Hop. Described by many (including myself) as "Screaming Hobo Rap". I recently listened to The Money Store and by the third time through I started to enjoy it. It's good stuff once you "get it." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dscrapre Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 Death Grips - Experimental Hip-Hop. Described by many (including myself) as "Screaming Hobo Rap". I recently listened to The Money Store and by the third time through I started to enjoy it. It's good stuff once you "get it." The Money Store is pretty steadily considered their best work. I didn't like it as much as Exmilitary or No Love Deep Web (WARNING: Album cover is a Penis) but it's still pretty great. Two weeks ago they just randomly released an LP for free download called Government Plates and it's pretty good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
