ODB was great. His character was fun (fun in the "holy sh-t" sense, not fun in the "I'd like to hang with him" sense) but his skills were legit.

Blue October - Hate Me (saw them in concert right before moving here - great show)
The Church - Reptile (I hate that Marty Wilson-Piper is no longer with them)
Dandy Warhols - Bohemian Like You (I swear Courtney Taylor-Taylor is the only lead singer that can change the actual physical features of his face from one tour to the next)

Re: USCHO Music Thread 3: They Heard Me Singing
Iggy could do it song-to-song.
This endangers my Portland card, by I always hated the DWs. I really ought to have loved them but just too syrupy. To be fair, I never saw them at the Crystal, where I've heard they could bring the house down.
In other news, we probably could have gone through life never hearing this, but don't feel bad for him. He is after all the man whose "only regret in life is having only one dick."

Not sure syrupy would ever enter my DW lexicon on a broad scale but no worries. Their catalog is very deep and extremely diverse if you ever get a chance to really explore it I'd encourage it.
Fast Driving Rave Up
Nietzsche
Godless
Ride
Horse Pills
Not if You Were the Last Junkie on Earth ok maybe slightly syrupy
Slight tangent but I still heart Shirley Manson.

Gin Wigmore - Black Sheep. Where have you been all my life baby?
Ride - Leave Them All Behind. Greatest in studio jam ever?
Johnny Marr - How Soon is Now?. No problem with Johnny playing the Smiths catalog, but for all of Morrissey's faults he's the better singer.
INXS - Don't Change. Getting in some 80's alternative fix.
The Cult - She Sells Sanctuary. The song that got me into the first summer fling I ever had

Speaking of isolated tracks, put this on in the background and forget about it, but play the full 4:30. There are extended periods of no sound where you'll think he's done, but he isn't.
I have a good ear, and IINM he hits every note dead solid perfect, so he's truly singing, but with the force of screaming. He's also always in complete control. It's amazing.
It helps to know the song, so you youngins play the full mixed song through once before this.

Re: USCHO Music Thread 3: They Heard Me Singing
Good stuff Kep. For me an underrated band in that while they're often mentioned in lists maybe not as often as they should be.
Bloc Party - Helicopter. Is it dance, electronica, guitar rock? I don't know but I want to dance
Len - Steal My Sunshine. One of my favorite one-hit wonders. Took me years to realize they weren't signing, "It's still my century".
The Sundays - Wild Horses. This cover reminds me of homecoming senior year and might be the only thing.

Rarely has a video been simultaneously so 80s, and so 60s.

Ozzy - Diary of a Madman bonus disc
Concert from Bizzard of Oz Tour.
Don't listen to Ozzy more than a couple times a year, and it's almost always something live with Randy. Hard to explain why it brings me so much joy but I've had a big stupid grin on at my desk for the last 30 minutes.
So good...

Maybe coz it harkens back to a time when the term "rock 'n' roll" still meant something.

I guarantee there are kick-as-s rock and roll groups out there right now. We don't hear about them because once you're past 25 you will never, by definition, know about anything good as it is happening.

Re: USCHO Music Thread 3: They Heard Me Singing
I have an 18 year old who is as big a music fanatic as I am. You'd be surprised at how much current music I have heard because I usually give him the aux in the car as he's always excited to "show me something new that he's been listening to." And I'm happy to let him have it as I remember being that excited kid. He's turned me onto quite a few artists that I now like - and vice versa.
We also will hang out in the basement and just listen to stuff - while I work on the computer and he does homework or while we have a muted game on.
Music is one of our shared bonds.
Anyway, the point isn't just hard rock music. It's the place that music and the artists occupied in pop-culture or in our lives at the time.
Something "rock 'n' roll" died about the time MTV came along. And maybe it needed to die by that point or maybe it had run its course. Possibly? Probably?
Point is, artists like Sabbath, Pre-rehab Aerosmith, Ozzy solo, pre-1984 Van Halen, Zeppelin, pre-keyboard RUSH etc, etc ceased to exist at some point in terms of new blood and many of those artists got old and/or cheesed out.
In their place we got Bon Jovi, Poison, the Crue and any number of other pretenders – guys acting a part, mostly for money and ***** – not that there's anything wrong with that, but they were still pretenders.
Was Guns the last great ROCK band to come along?
I realize there are bands still making that kind of music, but they fail to occupy the same cultural relevance in society and in my life.
Listening to Ozzy takes me back to an era that simply no longer exists. Dark arenas and LOUD guitars. Drum solos. Groupies. Black concert t-shirts with imagery that would offend Grandma. I miss it in a fond way.
It's not just nostalgia though. Sabbath (sans Dio) and early Ozzy still holds up for me and Randy is still worth hearing after all these years.

Re: USCHO Music Thread 3: They Heard Me Singing
Don't get me wrong either - I rode the MTV wave and got into all kinds of music.
Hard rock is a very small sliver of what makes up my musical taste.
But it's essential.

Re: USCHO Music Thread 3: They Heard Me Singing
My point is different. If we know about it, no matter how we came by our knowledge, it isn't interesting.
The music that will in retrospect define an era starts as youth rebellion. If it's the kind of thing that leaks out to us, it's not going to be what mattered.
3 years after its peak, music critics will find out about it as it's in its death throes. 5 years after the peak, music aficionados will find out about it as the bands that were influenced by it are starting to gel. 10 years after the peak, one of the songs by one of the groups will become a hipster trivia answer.

There are still good rock n' roll groups out there, but you have to find them and they won't rise to prominence the way they did few decades ago. It'll take something of a sea change for that to occur.
There's a band called My Goodness out of the Seattle area that I've been listening to for a couple years now. I like what they're recording, but don't expect to see them tour my way anytime soon.
