I am reading above and how can someone not like the Sgt. Pepper's album? That album is some insane shit...

i didnt really like it... :-\

but i did love nearly everythin else they dun....***goes off and bumps Let It Be***




Sgt Peppers is difficult to just jump right into. A lot of its greatness comes from its originality. It was a collection of sounds that were unheard by most rock listeners. It's like giving something like The Breaks to modetn hip hop fan. It just won't mean as much as it did when it was first heard in the music environment it was a heard. When rock and roll first came up in the late 40s and early 50s it sounded dangerous. Does it sound so dangerous now? When Link Wray released Rumble in the late 50s with a distorted guitar sound it was abbrasive and violent. Hearing it compared to metal it sounds tame.

The other thing with Peppers is you have to already have an appreciation for psychadelia. Illmatic is a bunch of stupid noise to someone that doesn't like hip hop, and it's nothing special to most people that only listen to modern day south rap. It's a matter of taste and every taste can be aquired, it's just a matter of whether you want to aquire it. There are many sounds I've never aquired and many I probaby never will, but there are always people that like those sounds and like them for good reasons.

And to whover said the Beatles were the N'Sync of the 60s; that's among the stupidest things I've ever heard. The Moknees maybe, but the Beatles turned music upside down and changed it forever. How albums are made, how sounds are discovered, how songs are crafted, how songwriters are respected as artists. The Beatles played major roles in chaning the world's view on all of that. Saying the Beatles were just the 60s N'Sync is like saying Rakim was just an 80s Lil' Bow Wow.



nice post man

i do enjoy psychadelia but nt quite on this album...i mean Pink Floyds first LP >>> sgt pepper for me....

it may have been original and what not but it jus didnt reli appeal 2 me...

but all this talk about it has gotten me to take the 12" and put it on :D


I don't know if I'd say The Piper at the Gates of Dawn was better than Peppers. Darkside maaybe but not  The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. To each his own.

IMO Darkside Of The Moon > Sgt. Peppers

Piper At The Gates Of Dawn is an amazing album too.

Floyd is cool.... never was big on the Grateful Dead, although I would have liked to have seen them live, just to experience that.

i haven't gotten into the Dead yet, but I think I will eventually.

Floyd is way different though, a way different blend of funk, psychedelia and rock.

Its good 2 find out i'm not the only one who can't live on rap and R&B alone.  Sometimes when a black person likes something that isn't rap or R&B, your blackness gets questioned :( .
I have a 2 song limit with rock artists.  Some of the rock songs I like.
INXS-Need you Tonight & Mediate
AC/DC-Back in Black & Hells Bells
Kid Rock-Bawitda & American Bad Ass
Def Leppard-Rocket & Pour some sugar on me
Led Zeppelin-Black Dog & Kashmir
Limp Bizkit-Break Stuff & Rollin
Rage Against the Machine-Bulls on Parade
Korn-Fight the Power & Freak on a Leash.  I mainly like the part in the middle of the song.  If you try 2 imitate it good, you gotta have a weird look on your face tryna do it.
CKY-96 quite bitter beings
Nine Inch Nails-Closer
Beastie Boys-Sabotage
U2- hold me thrill me, kiss me, kill me
Spin Doctors-Two Princes & some other song...don't know the name
Rick Derringer- Demolition
Freebirds-Badstreet USA
Faith no more-Epic
Chris Jericho-Don't you wish you were me
Metallica-Enter Sandman.  Only listen to it when on Sandman's ecw matches.
Marilyn Manson-Beautiful People.  I'd prefer if it was just the music & the whispering of the Beautiful People & WHOAA! 
ICP-Lets go all the way & Take it
Offspring-come out & play
Prodigy-smack my bitch up & breathe
bloodhound gang-mope
warrant-cherry pie.  Lot of why I like it had 2 do with the video & the blonde
queen-another one bites the dust & we will rock you
Pantera-walk & the one song that was on beavis & butthead where they turned the volume up to the max..don't know the name
motorhead- their 1st song of the game.  Not the bow down to the game song, that's song is the crappy taffy of rock music.
I think that's it

Anybody that restricts them self from listening to a genre of music is losing out big time.

I'm lazy, but the ones you guys have listed are on point. Comfortably Numb is what I've been listening too so I don't take a motherfuckers head off after a long day at work.
true story

i like some korn shit

but that one KISS song- rockin roll all night or someshit
