The last sentance was saying that I'm not neccessarily saying that sappy music can't be good, I haven't thought about that yet.]]> Opinions and Polls cmaracz https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/classic-rock/paged/5/#post-86227 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/classic-rock/paged/5/#post-86221 Sat, 22 Jan 2005 19:16:54 +0000
Can any fan of modern rock name a couple of bands, no, even songs which have a serious and/or artist emotional impact intended and are not just downright sappy. I can't. Although the arguement over wether sappy somgs which have a powerful effect are respectable or not is another issue requiring another thread.The Manic Street Preachers, Ryan Adams, Bloc Party, Biffy Clyro, At The Drive-In... those are just the first ones that came into my head. However, the last sentence confused me - are you saying that classic rock is respectable and emotional and serious whereas modern rock is not? That's the impression I'm getting.]]> Opinions and Polls Tucker https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/classic-rock/paged/5/#post-86221 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/classic-rock/paged/5/#post-86189 Sat, 22 Jan 2005 07:46:40 +0000
Newer music doesn't neccesarily lack soul, it's just not different. I don't mean different like rap, or hip-hop(rap with actual music... somewhat). I do listen to some newer bands, but most of them only have a few songs I like. One of the most prominent newer bands that I enjoy listening to is Bowling For Soup. They're from Texas, and really represent your average joe's. They're music is honest, from them, and though influenced (they've actually been compared to Motley Crue, which I don't neccesarily agree with) but the music is a style of it's own.

Classic rock has won me over, but not all new music lacks the soul, and the individuality that needs to be there.

I'm a 16 year old, play bass and guitar, listens to everything from the Eagles, to Metallica, to James Taylor. Music that has soul for you is really what you like, but anymore, new music is just the same, not written by the people (Bowling For Soup writes their own songs :P) but by song writers who also write for other artists, thus making even more the same. It does lack soul, it is not the individuals music anymore.]]> Opinions and Polls ssstrat11s https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/classic-rock/paged/5/#post-86189 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/classic-rock/paged/5/#post-86182 Sat, 22 Jan 2005 07:03:32 +0000
The Tragically Hip song--"38 Years Old" is an honest emotional expression of sadness and loss; and it has just as much "soul" as classic rock. Whenever, I listen to this song, I'm "right there" in the imagery--in the kitchen, and passing in front of the house. I can feel the emotional message...

Just one song that came to mind...

If "soul" means that intangible quality of emotion, and thought, I would have to disagree. Modern Rock offers just as much as Classic Rock.

Classic Rock offers more "associations"; more nostalgia. Just hearing a favourite song can bring a person back in time to an event or memory. Maybe the quality of "soul" is a projection we, as listeners, bestow on songs. It could be a reciprocal relationship between artist and audience? We just need to give Modern Rock more time to fully make its impression on us.

Does this make sense?

Dirty RottenIndeed I do. I don't know whether there's just more soul in modern rock or if classic rock had a different type of soul, but to me modern rock outclasses classic rock 99% of the time.]]> Opinions and Polls Tucker https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/classic-rock/paged/5/#post-86095 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/classic-rock/paged/5/#post-85926 Thu, 20 Jan 2005 20:13:54 +0000 soul that classic rock has.

Sometimes, I think we all have limitations to our musical experience: how else can we explain the feeling of exhiliration when hearing something new for the first time? Else that music would not be new. We would be forever comparing it with something which has gone before.

As DemoEtc pointed out, we should step outside of what is offered to us, and do our own thing. If I may add, we should approach things with a beginner's mind.

Hearing all the names bandied about, I probably have limited musical experience. Today, I do not wish to listen to jazz; or blues, or electronica. I don't really care whether what I am listening to borrows elements from these genres. If I listen to Eminem or the Insane Clown Posse, and have an honest appreciation of these artists, then, my limited musical experience will not diminish this enjoyment. Rhetorically speaking, will I become less of a musician because of this?

There's lots of great music floating around these days. It's not going to find you though, you have to find it yourself. Most of it will never be coming through your radio. That's the great thing about the Internet. You can find music from bands that don't have millions of dollars of marketing money. Bands with, like, five dollars of marketing money can put up a site. By paying attention, following links (on musicians' forums) and Googling band names, you can find neat stuff. I consider it immaterial whether good music makes up a greater or lesser fraction of the world's total musical output than it did years ago. I do know that I can find as much as I want; more than I can actually digest.

A few recent bands I'll recommend are: Coheed and Cambria, Nuclear Rabbit, Horrorpops, and King Vegas (his site is really hard to find).]]> Opinions and Polls paul donnelly https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/classic-rock/paged/4/#post-85226
