The Cat 3 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 .. and this is classic Agreed... Ace's lat two albums, "Anomaly" and "Space Invader", are both great records. Heads and shoulders above KISS' last two, "Sonic Boom" and "Monster". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) Don Henley Disqualified!!!He's a douche, but he's got some great songs. Boys of Summer alone gets him on my list. Dirty Laundry is another beauty. Edited January 10, 2016 by goose 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fritz44 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros - just for Streetcore alone. It may have been released posthumously and would not have been his ideal production (too slick), but it is a superb tribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick N.

It's a great band, actually. All of its eras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonnet was fronting the band at the very first Monsters of Rock festival at Castle Donington, Cozy Powell's last gig with the band iirc. The festival rebranded itself as Download and Rainbow rebranded itself as a pop band. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit more experimental than the 12-bar blues stuff...but it's rock to me. Well, based on what I've listened to by her (just Post, which admittedly isn't that much), she's much more into the electronic and industrial territory than rock (except for It's Oh So Quiet, which is straight up big band jazz).

In light of what Blackmore eventually became musically, releasing albums of mandolin solos, it's interesting that he parted company with RJD because Blackmore wanted to become Foreigner.

Yeah but I don't really see how her brand of electronica and industrial can be labeled as rock music. It's like saying the majority of Kid A by Radiohead was rock, which (other than Optimistic), it really wasn't anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, it's all rock music. "Tomorrow Never Knows" is practically all tape loops. Zappa was all over the map. Pink Floyd. Kraftwerk. Eno. The Velvet Underground. Heck, Neil Young did a lot of weird stuff. Bjork's influences come from many corners in rock music. It's a pretty big tent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, Neil Young did a lot of weird stuff. Bjork's influences come from many corners in rock music. It's a pretty big tent. I'm going to have to disagree about Bjork, and Kraftwerk for that matter. To me, a rock artist doesn't have to play rock all the time (i.e. Queen, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, many others), but needs to build their base sound from rock music (Queen may have done the crazy opera thing in the middle of Boh-Rhap, but most of it was backed with a solid core of bass, drums, and guitar playing in a rock style; Floyd may have added the electronic experiment On The Run and the psychedelic Any Color You Like to DSOTM, but much as that record was based firmly in the rock style, especially Money; the Beatles may have created such strange concoctions as Revolution 9, Tomorrow Never Knows, Because, etc., and they may have ventured pretty far from rock territory with tunes like She's Leaving Home, Elenor Rigby, Within You Without You, etc., but they began and ended very much a rock band with songs like "Drive My Car," "Come Together," "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," "Taxman," etc.; etc.). From my perspective, Bjork's sound isn't based in rock, it's based in electronica and industrial, which, while they can be closely related to rock in many cases, are not derivatives of rock. I suppose Army Of Me could be very cautiously lumped in with rock music, but I would attribute that to it's heavy industrial vibes, industrial being admittedly closer to rock than electronica, but just as close to hip hop for that matter. However, I just cannot see how Bjork would be rock artist based on the material of hers that I've heard. Yes, going back and listening, there are more beats and more guitar-sounding elements than I recalled earlier, and I don't deny the influence of rock artists on her music, but her music itself is not rock to me, just as the album Kid A by Radiohead is not rock to me, and just as Kraftwerk is certainly not rock to me. But if that lengthy paragraph fails to shrink the divide between our opinions, then we're just going to have to agree to disagree on this one. :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
