Word.

[pwd72s]

"best" is relative, isn't it?

[greglepore]

F The FCC- Steve Earle

Now, I'm a little left on social issues, a little right on economic ones, but this song, as crude as it is, reminds all of us that people died for the right to say that.

[Z-man]

Vertigo - U2

Here with Me - Dido (or was that from 2003?)

Nothing but You - Paul Van Dyk (or was that from an earlier year?)

-Z.

[Adam]

Anyone into Paloalto? What about Muse?

[Shuie]

Duality - Slipknot

Im sure I can think of two more

[azasadny]

"It's My Life" by No Doubt...

[Sonic dB]

The No Doubt tune is a remake of a Talk Talk tune....which is no surprise because there hasnt been a good song released on the radio airwaves in many years. Todays "music" pretty much sucks.

[azasadny]

Sonic,

How true! The "Talk Talk" version (original) wasn't as good. I normally don't like remakes, but No Doubt really did a great job with that song. I especially like the "crunchy" guitars!

[Sonic dB]

Yeah the No Doubt version is great....really adds a new twist to the original. I like the original version though... very cool in an 80s way.

BTW man... just saw your tag...Im from Southgate, MI. Small world. One of my best friends lives in Wyandotte.

Wow, what a lame and close minded statement.

[azasadny]

Sonic,

My wife and I are originally from Trenton and moved back to Wyandotte to live after I got out of the Navy in '91. Our families are here, so that's why we came back but I hate having to store the car in the winter, I put Helga up a week ago and it's killing me living in the rust belt!!

[Sonic dB]

azasady.....did you go to Trenton High in the 70s - 80s? My dad was a teacher there....

I know what you mean by "rust belt" ... too bad that you dont get to enjoy your 911 more out there.

headstud..... its all a matter of opinion or more. In my case, I am an experienced and schooled musician... I just do not hear the creativity, relationship between innovative melody, harmony and rhythm that used to exist in pop music,,,, these days.

[azasadny]

Sonic,
Yep, graduated in '79. What's your father's name?

[Sonic dB]

Ill PM You...

Yes, you are correct, it is a matter of opinion and in my opinion your initial statement was lame and close minded. By stating that contemporary music "sucks" you are dishonorably praising yourself. I would like to hear your experienced and schooled musical genuis, maybe my perception is skewed and I've been missing out.

In your second statement you mentioned "pop music". I might agree that pop music does kind of suck. But then again, I don't take pop music seriously. It is what it is.


So as not to hijack the thread, here are my picks...

1) Interpol - Evil

(It's been crazy to see the evolution of this band's popularity over the past few years.)

2) Modest Mouse - The Good Times are Killing Me
2a) Modest Mouse - Blame it on the Tetons

(These guys have been around forever, mainstream now, I'm sure they're stoked)

3) Jay Z - My First Song


Ahh, there's more, but you said three.

Andain - Beautiful Things (Gabriel & Dresden Unplugged Mix)
