USCHO Music Thread 3: They Heard Me Singing

Re: USCHO Music Thread 3: They Heard Me Singing

I'll take my 80s synth straight, thanks.

That song was one of the two that started me on my path away from classic rock. When I first got to Maine, there were two radio stations we could get, one was Top 40(think, Endless Love) and the other was Steven King's hard rock station, like Scorpions and Dokken. So I discovered the campus radio station. Echo Beach and India by the Psychedelic Furs were two of the songs in very heavy rotation when I first started listening. Hadn't heard anything like them.

I'll take my 80's synths straight, also.

I'll see your 70s and raise you a 50s.

For me it was the Post Punk Progressive Pop Party on the Hofstra radio station in 1978. It melted my middle school head. At 14 I was listening to "Tommy" and "Kashmir." At 15 I was listening to "Horses" and "Hamburger Lady."

I guess my 60s choice is trumped

That's not really synths anyway, just your basic Farfisa(?) organ.

OK, must be that echoey thing that follows his vocal.

Right now I'm hooked on an oldie but goodie. Some list of guitar solos I read once said, "if you can't sing it, it's not one of the greats" or words to that effect. I never much cared for that whole "Eruption" thing, that technique over soul thing that every modern metal guitarist now does to overkill. I like guitar solos with melody, solos you can sing.

This is one of my favorites. Not tremendously difficult, or technical, but the choices he makes in notes, tone, timing, and just the overall creativity of such beautiful melodic solos just blows me away. And you can sing every one of them. Three solos for the price of one.

The thing with Eruption....he was SO young, and it was one of the first, if not the first HOLYSH* WTeFF IS THAT guitar songs (longer than a solo, for a "designation" if you will). And of course it got overdone. Why? Because everyone in the world tried to copy it. Steve Vai and Yngwie Malmsteen owe their careers to Eruption.

Re: USCHO Music Thread 3: They Heard Me Singing

Eruption was as much an introduction to VH (and Eddie himself) as it was a solo and is a great segue into You Really Got Me. The two-handed tapping and classical cadence toward the latter part of the song are no easy feat. There's a reason it's often regarded as one of the greatest solos of all time. There are plenty of others out there of all shapes and sizes (Robin Trower has many of my favorites) and I don't limit myself to a particular bucket.

Re: USCHO Music Thread 3: They Heard Me Singing

I love Eruption because it is classical music that happens to be played on an electric guitar with distortion. You can hear things a lot like it listening to fugues written for organs centuries ago.

Not quite music, but it deals with Pink Floyd's Roger Waters

Wu-Tang Clan: "Triumph"

This was my first exposure to the Wu-Tang Clan. And since I have a race on Sunday, this song is on my training playlist.
