Trauma suggests another Artist you MAY be sleeping on
Trauma-san:
I'm sure many of you aren't... but I'll bet a bunch of you are. Frank Sinatra. One of the greatest entertainers of all time, plus, he was a gangster, with ties to the mob, lol, that ought to make him cool enough for you guys. He started singing in the damn 30's or something, by the 60's, he was an old act, but just kept going, recording all the way up into the 90's. He had literally dozens of great great songs, I'll list a few if you want to check any out. Don't think they're all gonna be cheezy, either, some of them are some classic stuff that's original, and will always be great no matter who's listening to it.
"I get a kick out of you" - there's about 10 different versions of this, some with the line "Some may go for cocaine, I know, that if I took, even one sniff, it would bore, me terrifically... I get a kick out of you" good song
"Fly Me to the Moon" - probably his best song, produced by a young Quincy Jones. perfect 10 out of 10 in every way.
"It was a very good year" - great song, recorded in the 60's, and in the song, he says "I'm in the autumn of the year".... dude thought he was about done with, and then went on to bigger and better things. He's been huge, biggest in the game, about 3 different times. Song tells the story about his life when he was 17, 21, and 35, or something like that. Of course it's not about him, lol, but it's a good song.
"Love and Marriage" - otherwise known as the theme song to "Married with Children", one of his tongue in cheek looks at love.
"I've got you under my skin" - another one of his greatest songs, nearly perfect, smooth shit. If you haven't heard this, smack yourself. The version with Bono from U2 is great, too.
"Strangers in the Night" - another orchestra piece, with a big band behind him ,this is when he owned music.
"Summer Wind" - another perfect track. Beautifully orchestrated, his voice is amazing on this, he just has so much clout when he sings. Count Basie & His orchestra back him up.
"That's Life" - Frank famously recorded his vocals in 1 take. When he came in with a new, young producer, he sang it in his typical swingy, cool style. The producer had the nerve to ask Frank, the biggest star in the world, to record a second take of his vocals (which Frank took as an insinuation that the first take wasn't any good). Frank decided to piss on the producer, and sang the whole song over the top, with a really braggadocio swing to it, almost half-assing the whole thing. Tha'ts the take they released, lol it sounds great, like he's pissed at everybody. Unbelievable song.
"My Way" - I've never really liked this song, but it's influence is huge, this is probably the most famous Frank Sinatra song, and a metaphor for his life, he did everything his way, and as such a huge star, never had to do anything he didn't want to.
"New York, New York" - the famous "Start spreadin' , the news" song... another of his most famous ones.
"Young at heart" - almost sounds like a song for a disney movie, very sweet and child like, fitting with the "young at heart" theme.
"Witchcraft" - timeless song, about how this woman affects him. Just, a, perfect, song. Almost everything Frank did was perfect. Amazing.
"Nice N' Easy" - again, Frank takes the title of the song as a literal expression of how the song should go. Another classic, very laid back and just perfectly executed.
"Forget Domani" - actually the songs about forgetting the money, it's a little play on words, with the song meaning a trip to domani, but he's also talking about ignoring that they don't have any money. Great song, with a different type of feel to it.
"Something Stupid" - a duet with his daughter, Nancy Sinatra. Great, Great, Great song. Can't say enough about it, he honestly was 1 of a kind.
"This Town" - kind of upbeat number with a swing orchestra behind him. Frank strutting his stuff.

That's just a few if you're interested at all. You should know about this man, it'll give you a deeper appreciation of music, and even life. Unfortunately, he couldn't hang on forever, he passed away a few years ago, but lived a long wonderful life.
PLANT:
Trauma my friend, you must be on some real pimp shit listenin to the great Frank Sinatra...
Thats wicked man. You know your fuckin music boy!
Nightfall:
i dont mind his shit, my dad's a big fan, i listen to it when hes listenin to frank sinatra, im nto a fan myself tho
its not like i feel limitted cause im into hip-hop tho, some are close-minded cause they want to be considered "hip-hop heads" so they feel that if they would bump somethin else, they wouldnt be hip-hop heads anymore, wich is sad IMO
Frank Sinatra's daughter "Nancy Sinatra" did a fucking dope song tho "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)", i loved it when i heard it on kill bill, and immidiately downloaded it, cool shit, i wonder if she did more songs like that
The Big Bad Ass:
