    Hello Again

    Holy crap you're alive! Good to see you posting. Seems we got the same forum reminder this month hahaha :grinthumb (in case you don't remember me I was one of the main cranky pants at RM)

    Neil Young vs Bob Dylan

    Only in his absolutely wildest dreams does Bob Dylan even come close to rocking out half as hard as Neil Young.

    Does what a band wears/looks like matter?

    If the look accentuates the message of the band then by all means do it up (like Primus). It's when the look becomes the focal point of the band that there's a problem (like KISS).

    Clutch (Official Thread)

    Clutch is probably one of the most criminally underrated bands out there. Their last disc 'Strange Cousins From The West' is a truly great blues rock album but Neil Fallon is far too philosophical with his lyrical approach to embrace any of the tropes of the style. You won't find Robert...

    Favorite Artists of the 90s

    Back in the 90s I would have said Soundgarden RHCP Metallica White Zombie Smashing Pumpkins Monster Magnet Now I'd say Clutch Faith No More Mr. Bungle Kyuss

    Mastodon (Official Thread)

    Definitely interesting but I most definitely prefer Mastodon's actual covers rather than her sample / remix method of doing a cover. Been listening to the band since Blood Mountain, liked all the earlier stuff whenever I had the chance to hear it. Took forever and a day to get into Crack the...

    You and punk!

    Far too concerned with figuring out how to tie my shoes at the time. Wasn't there. Don't think it really wandered into my neck of the woods until much later. My first taste of the punk rock attitude was like getting zapped by lightning (via old school mid-80s Red Hot Chili Peppers). I fully...

    We need some Funk & Soul music...!

    No Herbie Hancock? For shame... this is arguably the track that propelled fusion jazz funk to the masses. Those first 6 notes are all it takes, but most definitely not all it gives. UbkqE4fpvdI

    How did you find CRF?

    Time is BROKEN on this site I just got a super guilt trip email from Magic being all boo-hoo boo-hoo I get sad when regulars don't visit anymore - it's been about 2 weeks. Two weeks? :wtf: Last time I signed in was Two Thousand and NINE. Holy crap, Magic only joined the site in...

    What bands would you like to see formed?

    i guess i just see a difference between 'reasonable' make believe and 'bash you head against the wall' make believe. The Yard Animals being a perfect example of the kind of awesome fantasy a thread like this could create. random tits to replace one of the greatest frontmen of the most...

    Most overrated rock artists of all time?

    well... that's only mildly bigoted!

    Progressive Instrumental Recommendations??

    i seem to remember an old saying. something about passing judgments and covers. can't quite remember how it goes at the moment hahaha

    Most overrated rock artists of all time?

    you were either not alive or a total moron in the 80s to make a claim like that. yes he's being martyred a little too much now, yes he did turn into a freakshow. but he was most definitely worthy of all the praise and accolades he received back in his day. Thriller was beyond massive...

    Classic Rock Videos from the 70's.

    tell me this track doesn't rock. that groove. that beat. that bass line. and a trombone solo! oh yeah haha <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/MN2fwRBAo7A&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param...

    Was punk necessary?

    yep pretty much. in this case the 'elders' would start with the older siblings rather than the parents. i think it's also one of the reasons mainstream music has been recycling itself more often.

    The Next Nirvana?

    it's unfortunate but there's some stuff that's just going to be low quality regardless of what modern format being used. a hi-fi digital reproduction of a scratchy vinyl recording is still going to sound scratchy unless you have access to better source material. i'm just happy you can get...

    The Next Nirvana?

    how do you figure it's getting harder to find out about these people? check youtube. it's packed with amazing musicians. mind you it's packed with far more people who'd like to think they're amazing musicians but still. loaded with great stuff.

    Was punk necessary?

    i think punk rock was absolutely necessary but i don't think it was necessarily for the reasons provided in the poll. for me i think the core of the movement had a lot more to do with social issues than musical ones. the idea that punk rock is supposed to just be fun, a fashion, or made by...

    Seven Mary Three (Official Thread)

    Re: The Official Seven Mary Three Thread it's all good. shouldn't be a surprise that i didn't really get into them though. i have to say that it's funny to hear a lot of people complain about how the internet is killing music but how else could a one hit wonder from over a decade ago get a...

    what will the 2010's bring musically?

    same here. it was called 'back when i was a teenager and therefore the target market of the mainstream'. there's still great stuff but if you're taste has grown past your adolescence then your ability to sample new music should increase as well. you also don't need to download anything...

    Most Overrated Album Of The 80s

    there certainly was if you could get over the fact that it wasn't interested in humping the dead dinosaur of 70s arena rock.

    Progressive Instrumental Recommendations??

    all their material is instrumental. i think they might have 3 songs total with 'vocals'. the album Flower lists is a very early one. it's well regarded by critics but not my favourite (especially not the 20 minute track that doesn't really go anywhere). personally i'd suggest starting with...

    Artists/bands that saved the 80s from total oblivion

    maybe to an extent, and more at the time, but at this point i think the biggest reason for a negative reaction to disco is that it's an obviously watered down corporate rehash of the killer funk that was going down at the same time. just ditch that 'lame' horn section and get a synthesizer...
