Didn't want to make a thread just for Mumford and Sons' album released today, but did want to see if any Scoopers had an opinion on it. Also figured music is a topic worth discussing.
Regarding Mumford's new album, I didn't like much of it the first time around, but the more I listen to it the more I like it. It was the same way with the last album they released. I think the genre change just throws me off the first time I hear them. Pretty slow so interested to see what they do for their live shows (will be going to the one at the Fiserv at the end of March), but again, was worried about how their new album was going to translate to live music with their last album to the point that I almost sold my tickets, ended up deciding to go to the concert, and thought they were phenomenal as always, so I think they'll be fine. But overall I think it's pretty solid.
Other artists/musicians I enjoy include Brett Dennen, Mat Kearney, and Judah and the Lion.
Not really a fan of their music, but after having seen a clip of the Imagine Dragons guy on The Ellen Show and the clip below, I like what the lead singer seems to be about.

I've also been enjoying Lupe Fiasco as a bit of a change of genre/pace for me.

No problem if people don't like Mumford and Sons, but their last 2 albums are nothing remotely similar to what their old stuff was, nor are they similar to each other.

Oh you don't need to tell me. I enjoy Mumford and Sons (though not enough to have listened to the new album). I just enjoyed the clip.

Interesting HBO movie (Believer) about the lead singer's fight with depression and his effort to get the Mormon Church (he is a Mormon) to accept LGBT kids.

Yup. That's a lot of what he talked about on The Ellen Show. Didn't realize there was an HBO movie on it. Talked about how the first time he was able to relate with the friends he had growing up that were LGBT was when he was kicked out of BYU for having sex with his girlfriend of 4 years when to him it was an act of love and beauty yet he was made to feel ashamed. Seems like a down to Earth, interesting guy.

As the father of an 11 yob, Imagine Dragons gets a lot of play. I won't say it is great, I will say that it is better than 90% of what is currently played on commercial radio.

Agreed. They're okay. But also incredibly overplayed, which makes them less great.

Concur.
For my 12 yob, it's either them or 21 Pilots.
My 11 yog, however, shares my taste in music, unfortunately for her (indie/alt rock). She came home from school the other day and declared, "Dad, no one has ever heard of any of the bands I like."

I get that, too. My 11 yob has an near encyclopedic knowledge of 80's stuff and will bust out a lyric anytime somebody says something that closely approximates said lyric. Along with Irish drinking songs. Will debate the relative merits of Van Halen with David Lee Roth vs Sammy Hagar. Ponders why he can't sing like the guy from AC/DC. (whisky and cigarettes, young man, whisky and cigarettes), dreams of hitting that impossible note at the end of 'Take on Me'....... yeah, I am a crap father.

I try to explain to my 12 and 10 year olds that a electronic drum beat and auto tune isnt music. I'm not having much luck.
-
On the plus side, the kid can sing almost the entire Hamilton soundtrack and loves U2s 'Songs of Experience'.

Couldn't agree more (plus the 21 Pilots mention) for 10yob and 12yob.
My proud moment this week was I had Audioslave on and my 10 year old says "never heard of them", so i ask him 'ignoring the singer who does the band sound like?' *2 minute pause* "kinda sounds like RATM".

Good stuff Tower. Some of my best memories growing up are of singing along to my parents' favorite music while driving with them. I was a 90s kid and liked all the music of the time but my parents raised me on Fleetwood Mac, James Taylor, and a whole bunch of Jam Bands.....and Eddie Money for some reason. Still know every word of the Rumors album from front to back.
-
Along with Irish drinking songs.
HA! I thought it was just me.
I half expected to receive a call from school that one of my kids was singing Whiskey in the Jar in class.
Then I remembered it was Catholic school, so...
-
I can happily say I've never heard a Migos song in my life, but this is pretty friggin good. The guy in the Phillies hat is my favorite.

Turning my 18 year old nephew onto Guster, Weezer, Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Ben Folds are among my prouder moments as an uncle. In turn he has expanded my library to include The Happy Fits, Gorillaz, Felly and the late Mac Miller. All excellent choices.
-
Historical hot take: INXS very underrated.

Saw the first concert of the Kick tour. East Lansing. Michael Hutchense referring to a lyric sheet

RATM is one of my faves. First time I heard Audioslave, I absolutely loved them. Only took a couple songs to think, Hey, sounds like Tom Morello on guitar.

Check out the one album he did with Street Sweeper Social Club, it’s fantastic. Boots Riley (who’s political stance is extreme by my POV and also the writer/director of the movie ‘sorry to bother you ‘) is a great front man
-
I know I may be in the minority here , but I always enjoyed the three tenors: Plácido Domingo, José Carreras and Luciano Pavarotti. I attended a concert at the old Giants Stadium in the Meadow lands back in the late 90s.

Parental advice: If you ever label something as "not music," they aren't going to listen to you. My dad once said that an electric guitar isn't music because it went through an amplifier.
That's when I started listening to more Hendrix.

I thankfully took my kids to see 21 Pilots last year. A great show.
80's music is totally in with kids. They don't get upset when I have 80's on 8 on XM on.

Ditto for my kids!
Songs of Expierience it's one of U2's best.

Angel Olsen, Arcade Fire, Big Thief, FJM, Freddie Gibbs, MMJ (It Still Moves over Circuital), Parquet Courts (1st 2 albums too), Real Estate (Days), Surfer Blood, and Tame Impala (1st 2 albums too) were oversights on my part

Just bought tickets to see Atmosphere for the first time and I am pumped. Where my Minnesota peeps at?

Hopefully the 1/25 show in Houston or at least something other than 1/23 in Austin (game night vs. DePaul!).
Last month marked the 20th anniversary of the first Atmosphere show I ever ** THREW **. Dang, time flies.

Based on your taste, you should definitely check out Courtney Barnett. New-ish artist with a rad 90's-indie sound (reminds me of Malkmus' guitar work with Pavement). Try The Double EP record and go from there.

Love her, saw her over the summer at Pitchfork Festival. Put on a great performance.

I like Courtney and thought i'd love the stuff with Kurt Vile but i'm having a tough time getting into it. Is it just me or is this a better match in theory than in practice? i felt the same way about LCD's American Dream, revisited it a month ago and i clearly was missing it the first couple of run throughs so maybe it just needs to be revisited.

Agree, I think they're both better on their own. In regards to LCD, American Dream is definitely the weakest album compared to This is Happening and Sound of Silver. Has a few great songs on it but nothing to write home about in my opinion.

I'm with you. Her solo stuff is way better. I think the problem is the CB/KV record is too mellow for two folks who can rawk.

Glad you're going to check out a show. I was close friends with Slug when they were just getting started - the success is amazing.
I think that night he was at my apartment over on Prospect and Brady before the radio show and I had, uhh, a VHS tape of some sort playing on the TV. IIRC he was likely going to stay overnight, but plans changed during that day before the show.. so it was a freestyle about how he wasn't sleeping over anymore, so he wouldn't be able to peep the videos after the show.. a true freestyle, hey.

memorized the words to “hot rod Lincoln “ when I was a teenie, fun song to sing back in the day. All the girls would get a tingle running up their leg hearing the cadence of what was probably one of the first “rap type” songs. If you could do this, you were beyond cool man!!🕺🏾🤷🏼♂️🙉
Commander Cody
“Son you’re gonna drive me to drinkin if ya don’t stop drivin that hot rod Lincoln.....”
My pappy said "Son, you're gonna drive me to drinkin',
If you don't stop drivin' that Hot Rod Lincoln. "
Have you heard the story of the hot rod race,
Where the Fords 'n' Lincolns were settin' the pace?
That story is true, I'm here to say,
That I was drivin' that Model-A.
It's got a Lincoln motor and it's really souped up,
That Model-A body makes it look like a pup.
It's got eight cylinders and uses 'em all,
Got overdrive that just won't stall.
With a four-barrel carb and a dual exhaust,
With 4-11 gears you can really get lost.
Got safety tubes but I ain't scared,
The brakes are good, tires fair.
Pulled outta San Pedro late one night,
The moon 'n' the stars was shinin' bright.
We was drivin' up Grapevine hill,
Passin' cars like they was standin' still.
All of a sudden in the wink of an eye,
Cadillac sedan passed us by.
I said "Boys that's the mark for me,"
By then the tailight was all you could see.
Now the fellas ribbed me for bein' behind,
So I thought I'd make the Lincoln unwind.
Took my foot off the gas'n'man alive,
I shoved it on down into overdrive.
Wound it up to a hunderd an' ten,
My speedometer said that I hit top end.
My foot was glued like lead to the floor,
That's all there is an' there ain't no more.
Now the boys all thought I'd lost my sense,
Them telephone poles looked like a picket fence.
They said "slow down, I see spots,"
The lines on the road just looked like dots.
Took a corner'n'side-swiped a truck,
Crossed my fingers just for luck.
My fenders was clickin' the guardrail posts,
The guy beside me was white as a ghost.
Smoke was comin' from outta the back,
When started t' gain on that Cacillac.
Knew I could catch him, I thought I could pass,
Don'tcha by then we'd be low on gas.
We had flames comin' from outta the side,
You could feel the tension, man whatta ride.
I said "look out boys, I got a license to fly,"
And that Caddy pulled over and let us by.
Now all of a sudden she started knockin'
Down in the dip she started to rockin'
And I looked in the mirror, a red light was blinkin',
The cops was after my hot rod Lincoln.
They arrested me 'n' they put me in jail,
'n they called my pappy to throw my bail,
'n he said "son you're gonna drive me ta drinkin'
If you don't stop drivin' that hot rod Lincoln.

Once again there will be songs filling the air this summer as Dead and Company announced their tour yesterday. The music never stops
-
I listen to classic punk, 90s ska, traditional irish music, classic rock, Garage rock and Dave Matthews.
Weirdest combo ever?

Bump. What are we listening to in 2019?
I tried getting tickets to the Lumineers show at the Pabst right when they went on sale but the site would put me in the queue and then crash and a couple minutes later it said all the tickets were sold out. Think that will be a great show in a smaller venue but heard last time they scheduled them at the Pabst they moved it to the Marcus Amphitheater due to ticket demand.

I saw them open for Petty. Very good live band.
Spotify helped me recently discover a guy named Dave Hause (recommendation after I’d been listening to Brian Fallon, lead singer of former The Gaslight Anthem). Usually when artists go to rehab and get clean their craft suffers, but Hause’s newest album is right up there with his previous three.

Just saw Brian do an acoustic set in Dublin a few months back and honestly it might've been a better show than seeing gaslight anthem.
-
I don't have many "saw them before they were big" stories, but Gaslight Anthem is one of the few I did. Saw them play at the Rave as the first warmup act to Thrice, Alkaline Trio, and Rise Against. Thought at the time that their set was better than both Thrice and Alkaline. Then saw them a couple of months later when they were the headliner on their own mini tour in some dinky stage above a bar downtown.

I know they did some shows for the 10th Anniversary of The ‘59 Sound but I think it will be a while before TGA get back together, if ever. The divorce hit Fallon hard and he’s changed his sound from TGA’s heyday. A lot of Get Hurt was about the divorce. He’s a ridiculously talented songwriter and his voice drips with raw and real emotion.
Ever heard his Horrible Crowes stuff?

I'm sure they'll do a few more reunion tours every so often. Most interviews I've read they're always saying that Gaslight just isn't a full time thing but they're not dead.
I have heard some of his Horrible Crowes stuff, a bit too melodic for me as I'm usually more on the punk and edgier Indie side of the music spectrum.

Lana Del Rey's 'Doin' time' vocals sound like they were cribbed from Sinead O'Connor's 'Empire'. Not that this is a bad thing. Not the lyrics, but the vocal stylings.

The new Tool album is something.

I've been listening to Black Pumas a lot over the last month or so. Checking them out at the Pabst Theater next weekend.
Nothing super innovative but a talented funk/soul duo with a 70s vibe.

Green Day better be paying royalties to Joan Jett, as the chorus of"Oh Yeah", the single from their new album, just flat out steals the bridge from Joan Jett's "Do you wanna touch".

Great read in the current Rolling Stone about artists worrying about making any music at all and getting sued for "ripping off" another artist.

I'm pretty sure that was probably cleared before hand. There isn't even a deviation, that's basically a sample. Also not surprising for Green Day who have become hacky as they come.

Had tickets to Jason Isbell at the Ryman, had to back out, super bummed. I have never seen him live, but I’ve been told he and the band are solid.
Agree on Caamp and Lone Bellow, so good. Skipped the recent MKE Caamp show to see The Wood Brothers in Madison. Saw Avett Bros at Red Rocks a couple nights last summer, incredible.
Last concert, maybe for awhile, was Grace Potter at the Pabst. One of my favorite live voices in one of my favorite venues, along with Amos Lee. Could listen to him live for the rest of my existence.
Saw The Districts in the Back Room a couple years ago, pleasant surprise.

So many good bootleg concerts from the 70s on youtube. Not just Zep, but so many bands.

I guess the Yardbirds one is from obscure French television show that lasted one season. I guess the story is someone found these recordings somewhere and just uploaded them to Youtube.

A lot of the Zeppelin videos, outtakes, and soundboards were actually stolen from Page's house.
With how anti-bootlegging Peter Grant amd Richard Cole were, it's amazing how many audience recordings exist.

It's much more mellow than Painkillers, but typical deep Fallon lyrics.
You might like Dave Hause and also Northcote. Learned of them through a Fallon station on Spotify. Saw them both live a month ago, Hause puts on an intense show. Two more lyrically driven artists.

Clark did a lot of good work outside the Byrds. Lot of good stuff with Doug Dillard if you like a little bluegrass-y feel.

I'm not a country fan but Mike Campbell's (Petty's lead guitarist) band, the Dirty Knobs, is a good listen.
Springsteen's "From My Home To Yours" series has introduced me to some new artists I've enjoyed. In particular, Larkin Poe, a Roots Rock sister duo, and Bleachers, who Bruce did a guest appearance with on "Chinatown."

Just wondering what people are listening to.
For me it's Lord Huron (my wife can't understand how I love Huron, but don't care for Fleet Foxes).
Also really getting into Birds of Chicago, Mandolin Orange, Jamestown Revival. Loving forward to Black Pumas at Summerfest.
My home listening tastes are much more mellow at home than when we go out for live music.

Whatever the 14 year old is obsessing on. Just went through a Midnight Oil Phase. Now into Great Big Sea.

Love Great Big Sea. My Canadian friends got me into them at the turn of the millennium.
One of the many times I saw them live was on Canada Day in Central Park with The Tragically Hip. Canadian Consulate sponsored the show for the expats living in NYC.
Saw Midnight Oil in the late 80s on 90+ degree day in I just remember seeing the sweat drip down the lead singer's bald head

Black Pumas was an interesting change up diversion from a list of respected folk acts. Folks not my genre but I love Black Pumas. I saw Grupo Fantesma live in Austin a few years ago and that was incredible
My listening tastes have been all over the place, per usual. Been listening to Glass Animals a lot. Gareth Emery is one of my all time favorite DJ/producers and he’s been predictably prolific the last year or so which has been great Illenium has some great new music as well.
Travis Barker has one of the most insane work ethics ive ever seen, dude is constantly involved in so much. He’s been producing a lot recently, some amazing throwback sounding pop punk, can’t wait to see who he continues to work with.

Went to give St. Vincent's 'Daddy's Home' a run through and realized I'd never listened to Fountaines D.C.'s 'A Hero's Death' - I'm an old guy so forgive me for being 9 months late to this. If the first two songs weren't on the album (or maybe put at the end) it would be a fantastic album. Surprisingly layered background/instruments, another great example of "you don't have to be a great singer to be a good frontman", and his lyrics are solidly poetic. Strong recommend if you are a punk/post-punk person.
St' Vincent gets a spin tomorrow.

You're in for a treat with Daddy's Home. It's a departure from something you would more typically expect from St. Vincent but very much a welcome one for me.
For some reason I clicked over to Pitchfork the other day to see what they thought about the album and then I quickly remembered why Pitchfork is garbage.

While we're on Fontaines D.C. there's a new post punk band out of Galway I saw when I was living there called The Clockworks.
Similar sound, great energy, class individuals. unfortunately their new record label made them remove their independent stuff from Spotify so there's only 6 songs now. Give them a listen.

She needs to lock those background singers up before they head out on their own (assuming they're the same throughout the album and the same from SNL)

My favorite albums of the year so far by a fairly wide margin:
Squid - Bright Green Field (bombastic post punk with a lot of different influences / varied styles within songs)
Dry Cleaning - New Long Leg (great guitar work & bass lines, interesting vocal style that people either like or hate)
Wild Pink - A Billion Little Lights (the type of album you can put on and either enjoy in the background as pleasant, but also if you focus on it there are a ton of great details on re-listens, and great heartfelt lyrics, heartland rock type themes for lack of a better descriptor)
Yu Su - Yellow River Blue (fans of Aphex Twin should enjoy)
Nothing else has stood out much to me, a lot of solid but unspectacular stuff IMO
-

If anything I'd say they've gravitated towards way overrating pop albums these days. More of a good news site, but ratings can be ignored, just try things out for yourself music is totally and completely subjective anyway.

Fontaines D.C. is a band I very much want to see live if they come through the states any time soon. Another band I'd put in their camp is Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, kind of like a middle ground between Fontaines and mid-era Real Estate. Missed them right before the pandemic put everything on hold, hope they make it through again sometime soon.

Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever

Agreed Hope Downs was definitely stronger, 2nd album had a lot more filler, I like the In the Capital / Read My Mind single they put out in between the two but those somehow didn't make it on the album, I guess kind of like how French Press didn't make it on Hope Downs. If they picked an hour+ from all of their highlights a live show would be great (I imagine)

Congrats on the discovery (or re-discovery) for one of the great bands of the 1970s and one of the truly unique artists ever in Ian Anderson.
Locomotive Breath ... Bungle in the Jungle ... A New Day Yesterday ... Too Old To Rock and Roll, Too Young To Die ... Cross-Eyed Mary ... Heavy Horses ... Sweet Dreams ... the incredible Thick as a Brick ... and of course the iconic Aqualung.
Thick as a Brick is a favorite of my 30-something son, whose passion is rock from all eras. A favorite of his dad's too!

Glad to hear you enjoyed Jethro Tull and the extremely unique style. Their live performances are extremely different and you can fine some of their very early performances on Youtube. The vast majority of their hit songs were in the late 1960's.
Ian Anderson provides a performance style like no other and the utilization of his flute in rock songs is outstanding. Anderson is a very, very smart man and please go on the internet and find his interview with Dan Rather a few years ago. It was on the show "The Big Interview",on AXSTV, where Dan Rather interview rock stars. The interview was very compelling and one of the best I have seen on that show.
The guitar player in Tull was Martin Barre, who was very underrated, but known to guitar players and seen as an influence by up and coming players in the 1970's. His solo play in Aqualung is always in the Top 50 solos of all-time.
I have Tull on a playlist and in order:
Aqualung
Locomotive Breath
Hymn 43
Crossed Eyed Mary
Living in the Past
Bungle in the Jungle
Enjoy.

Ian Anderson provides a performance style like no other and the utilization of his flute in rock songs is outstanding. Anderson is a very, very smart man and please go on the internet and find his interview with Dan Rather a few years ago. It was on the show "The Big Interview",on AXSTV, where Dan Rather interview rock stars. The interview was very compelling and one of the best I have seen on that show.
The guitar player in Tull was Martin Barre, who was very underrated, but known to guitar players and seen as an influence by up and coming players in the 1970's. His solo play in Aqualung is always in the Top 50 solos of all-time.
I have Tull on a playlist and in order:
Aqualung
Locomotive Breath
Hymn 43
Crossed Eyed Mary
Living in the Past
Bungle in the Jungle
Enjoy.
Ty nyg. Do we know why they are NOT in the Rock and Roll HOF? I'm absolutely floored by Heavy Horses. I've now listened to it 10 times since last night.
-
They’re unique. Not really my thing. (I mean, a flute?) But I get the allure.
Why are you disparaging flutists or flautists? Totally inexcusable Fluffy.

There are numerous bands/artists who are not in the HOF and there are many who are in, that should not be in. Look at Pat Benatar who should have made it years ago, but did not until this year. That's a whole new topic.
Enjoy the Tull experience.

Point well taken. I'm super impressed by the musicianship of the band and of course Anderson's overall talents.

He’s not. He said it’s not his thing when it comes to rock and he’s not alone. I’m agnostic on Jethro Till but love the Moody Blues.

Yeah, I have learned long ago that music is a highly individualized taste. So if you like it, cool. I may not, but I am sure I have my thing that you don't care for either. And all of that is OK.
I have about 12 SXM stations that I constantly run through in my car. They range from pop to classic rock to soft rock... I rarely settle on one station - unless I am with my wife who doesn't like me jumping around.

In the Age of TikTok and Google shorts, this period's genre was dominated by classic jams, of which Tull was one of many. Marathon jam songs lasting 20+ minutes with one song taking up half and album were common and are considered classics today. It's a great period to discover.

Ezra is outstanding as are the three that Tower listed. Also listening to a lot of Son Volt and Birds of Chicago
Big fan of Birds of Chicago. Currently wearing out The Happy Fits, Lawrence, also Ruston Kelly, and Ceramic Animals (saw them both open at Red Rocks last month), Valerie June, Caamp, and some old school hip hop.

Glad to hear you enjoyed Jethro Tull and the extremely unique style. Their live performances are extremely different
As I mentioned earlier, I'm a huge Tull fan. But I saw them live twice (both at Poplar Creek) and it was a bit too damn much jammin' for my taste. As much as I appreciate Ian Anderson's talent, listening to him play the flute for 15 minutes straight was a little much.
But I'll enjoy the songs on the playlist you mentioned, and many more, until I'm not too young to die!
-
Valerie June is fantastic
Saw her recently at a little three song set at 88.9 studio. She is indeed fantastic.

Last flute mention.
The Marshal Tucker Band utilized the flute in the beginning and end of the song "Can't You See". A beautiful song written and sung by MTB member Toy Caldwell, the lead guitarist. Interesting back story on Toy, he enlisted in Marines, sent to Vietnam in late 1960's, wounded and came back to U.S. and started the band with high school friends. Both his brothers, one a band member, were both killed in car accidents, like weeks apart in early 1980's I recall.
1973 song, jeez getting old...

You are correct - never was a big fan of Jethro Tull. There were so many other great bands in the late 60's and 70's that I thought were much better.

Just personal preference but other than “Aqualung” I wasn’t a big Jethro Tull fan.
OTOH, I loved the Marshall Tucker Band. “Heard it in a Love Song” is my favorite among many really good songs.

Just saw Brian do an acoustic set in Dublin a few months back and honestly it might've been a better show than seeing gaslight anthem.
I'm seeing Gaslight Anthem next month on their reunion tour.
I just saw The Killers for the first time live. Damn, Flowers is one hell of a frontman and performer. Great balance between the spectacle with lights, confetti, etc., and the music. One of the best live shows I've ever seen.

Very interested to see how they sound. One of my favorite live bands of the 2010s. They were just magnificent. Brian Fallon has been through a lot and put on a lot of weight last I saw, which isn't necessarily a voice killer, but should be interesting to see.

They are so awesome. Its incredible how smoothly they transitioned into an arena band. My good friend worked on a branding project with their drummer a few years ago and I spent a couple hours with him out in Chicago. I remember him saying something like "we design all our tours that if something went wrong, we could play the show in a 500 seat theater and still crush it". I think that translates to how their show works. Its still all based in sounding tight and being great performers, with or without the spectacle. Ive seen them in venues from a few hundred all the way to thousands and never been remotely disappointed.

I noticed how much bigger he looked in promotional photos than he did before they went on hiatus. The Europe shows have sounded really good though.

I've been to shows where the music was secondary to the spectacle (U2 360) and this was so well done. My wife and I are considering flying back for their Detroit show and taking my nephew since he's a drummer and their drummer is awesome! I kept asking my wife "how have we not seen these guys live before now?" The opener was Johnny Marr, late of the Smiths and Modest Mouse. Damn, he was good too.

Ty nyg. Do we know why they are NOT in the Rock and Roll HOF? I'm absolutely floored by Heavy Horses. I've now listened to it 10 times since last night.
Need to get "Songs from the Wood" if you haven't listened to that one yet.
Heard that many of the songs or lyrics on Aqualung was actually written by Ian Anderson's wife. Although probably largest in sales, Aqualung is pretty far down on my list of best Jethro Tull albums.

Speaking of Traffic, who is the most underrated musician of the 60s/70s and why is it Steve Winwood?
Multiple 10 singles with 2 different bands before the age of 20, a platinum album with Blind Faith, then 8 top 10 singles and 4 top 10 albums as a solo artist...all before he was 40. What an absolute animal.

100%. Traffic/Windwood are killer.
-
Don't forget his work with the Spencer Davis Group as a teenager.
I think a lot of the reason he gets overlooked is because he took a good portion of the 1970s off from making new music. After Traffic broke up, he didn't do much until his 1977 solo album - which flopped. He then released Arc of a Diver in 1980, which was the start of his rise as a solo artist.
He's also a pretty unassuming guy versus the typical front man.
-
Arc of a diver, Stevie Winwood played all the instruments.
I guess after being a master of keyboard and guitar the rest would be breezy easy.
Pandora just started "Dear Mr. Fantasy".
eerie.
When feeling down just need to hear some Medicated Goo to feel better.

I've seen Winwood live 5 times - the last time was 5-6 years ago when he opened for Steely Dan at the BMO Harris Pavilion. I took my son and after every song told him it would be the best song he was going to hear that night. He even performed a shortened version of Low Spark and finished up with Gimme Some Lovin. He sounded like he did in the 80's.

I agree. I'm not even a huge fan. I just posted out of curiosity because I had a ticket fall into my lap last week. It was a good show and they sounded great. However, I can't say I'm a converted to a believer after the show (which does not seem to be the consensus based on the jsonline's review).

They sounded great, playing with a ton of energy and intensity. They're really changing up their playlists, too and going through all their albums. 22 songs, the entire set went 2 hours last night. Fallon is definitely bigger, and his voice isn't as raspy as in the past. I could have done without the banter, though, he was just rambling about random stuff at various parts of the show (is it ok to wear The Smiths or Morrisey shirts, have you seen Cobra Kai Season Five yet, lots about Jersey), which in total took up about 15 minutes total.
That said, go see them on this tour if you can.

Saw Gaslight Anthem last Monday Thought they were alright, Brian's voice isn't suited for some songs anymore. Probably why his last solo albums have been slow and meh.
Also saw airborne toxic event since I stopped posting consistently. That was a great show. Other recent shouts include Parquet Courts & Fontainnes D.C.

New Taylor Swift music...
So its interesting. I'm no big fan of T Swift since she turned into a pop artist. I think her fans are insane lunatics and she's in that Beyonce realm of her legions treat everything she creates as OMGGGZZZ THIS IS INSANE. BEST ALBUM EVER, I DIEEEE
That being said, Jack Antonoff (formerly of Steel Train, formerly of Fun, frontman of Bleachers) is one of my absolute favorite voices in music and he's a production POWERHOUSE. And he's been heavily involved in a lot of her work lately. This album feels like it goes a step farther. Like you could take swap them, tweak a lyric or two, and it could be new Bleachers music. Some of it is fantastic, some of it is ok, but its very funny to look at how its perceived. Many pop artists are just fronts for producers melodies and lyrics, but she's always been viewed as a singer/songwriter. Lyrically she's still influencing I'm sure, but this doesn't feel like she had much hand in melody creation at all.

I’d argue that title would go to Black Flag or Minor Threat. But DKs were monstrous, undeniable forces of nature.
Yeah black flag had a massive impact on Metallica which essentially means that they directly influenced the invention of thrash and consequential metal offshoots.
I'd argue minor threat isn't even as big of a lasting influence as say bad brains which one could argue is a huge reason Ska-Punk eventually became a thing. Now Fugazi on the other hand had a lasting influence across grunge, indie, etc.
DK is overrated. IMO, they have a million albums and 90% of their songs are interchangeable and the lyrics are lost on the airheads who heard Holiday in Cambodia or California Uber Alles on Guitar Hero. It's sort of like bad religion, melodic punk was already a thing by the time they stopped being hardcore, the lyrics are lost on people and the majority of songs are interchangeable.
Honestly most the hardcore movement really only influenced subsequent offshoots of punk and the bigger offshoots were only minimally influenced compared to the 70s stuff, not really music as a whole.
-
I am not sure about who was more influential musically, but DK most definitely was the larger cultural influence. They were right in the sights of the pearl clutchers worried about song lyrics, culminating in Jello's obscenity trial of course. Growing up in the early to mid 80s, you wore their t-shirts when you wanted to piss everyone off.

Huh.
I'd argue quite the opposite. The DK were a much better and much more musically varied band than Black Flag, whose notoriety was built more on the Henry Rollins cult of personality than their best music, the great majority of which came with Keith Morris on the mic.
A million albums? The Kennedys released a grand total of four studio albums.
"Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables" remains the best hardcore album ever released.

Is it only four? That means I have every single one of CD. Weird thought I had only a partial collection must have my bands crossed. Edit: turns out I do only have a partial CD collection Bedtime, plastic surgery and give me convenience. Fresh fruit I have on vinyl.
It depends on your defining as "influence" I'd say many many offshoots of current music would say Black flag directly influences them than DK. Now in terms of which was most important in the American Hardcore Punk scene Id agree DK was better and more influential.
Wait wait you're saying the best hardcore album ever? Not best from the early 80s scene not best hardcore punk but overall best hardcore? :o :-X

Anyone here fans of Ghost? I can’t believe I’ve not brought them up before here. Have their cover of “Jesus He Knows Me” on a playlist I’ve listened to all month which reminded me.
One of the most entertaining and clever bands of the last decade. Alice Cooper macabre theatrics with Tame Impala sole member man creative genius. Incredible live show, fascinating front man, and pop sensibility and melodies in a heavy rock band.

One of the most entertaining and clever bands of the last decade. Alice Cooper macabre theatrics with Tame Impala sole member man creative genius. Incredible live show, fascinating front man, and pop sensibility and melodies in a heavy rock band.
Saw them open for SOAD a couple of years ago in Chicago. They certainly put on a great show.

Yea, and that was before they are a headliner like they are now. The stage show and theatrics are next level.
Just an amazing creative project. Tobias Forge, who is the creative force behind them, said he envisioned their sound as a 70s arena rock band, but made up of older musicians so they would have made their bones writing in the 60s style and sensibility. Then you couple that with his background coming up in the heavy Swedish metal scene and it’s just really interesting stuff. His interviews about music are beyond fascinating.
Related, I’m always amused by songwriters from seemingly dissimilar backgrounds that end up in a particular genre. One of the best most acclaimed young songwriters in country music right now was the drummer for a number of hardcore/screamo bands before his pivot

They had a full stage show set up with theatrics and everything. It was at the Chicago Fire's stadium.

Missed out on Olivia Rodrigo presale, waitlisted. Hoping my Noah Kahan comes through. I saw him open for The Strumbellas many moons ago, big fan.

I've been listening to Teddy Swims and Tash Sultana a lot recently. Teddy has a good voice and his original stuff is pretty good, although not groundbreaking.
I've never really heard anyone like Tash Sultana. The talent level is incredible.

Phish is playing the United Center for the first time this weekend. Weather looks sh!tty but I’m sure the shows are gonna rock. Looking forward to going Friday and Saturday

Saw Grace Potter last week at the Pabst (one of my favorite live voices at one of my favorite venues), seeing Margo Cilker tomorrow at The Back Room (saw her open a show last year and wanted my wife to hear her, gonna miss TBR, have seen some incredible La shows there over the years), and seeing Happy Fits next week at the mighty Rave (one of my favorite bands right now at one of the most iconic MKE music venues). Good couple weeks to be sure.

My wife surprised me last night with an early birthday present -- tickets to the Eagles concert next week. As an added bonus (for me, at least) Steve Miller is the opening act (a late sub for Steely Dan whose lead singer had a health situation). My wife isn't really a fan of the Eagles (or concerts in general), so she's sending me with one of my daughters who is a big fan of both. I've always wanted to see them live...supposedly this is the last tour. I'm really excited for this show. Eagles tickets tend to be pretty pricey, so I wouldn't have treated myself to this concert.
Since Tom Petty died, I've tried to see some of the bands that I've "always wanted to see." I really wish I had seen him play live. What concerts were (or are) on your concert bucket list?

My younger daughter attends the University of Vermont and he is extremely popular on campus as he's from a town nearby to Burlington. She is fan and her and a few friends are going to Montreal later this month to see him in concert.

I’ve seen them twice since Glenn Frey died and Vince Gill “replaced” him. It’s an awesome concert. They’re still very good. Harmonies are on point and Joe Walsh still rips
Enjoy
Also, I agree on Tom Petty, really bummed I never saw him. When I was in high school (probably 2004/2005) he came to Pine Knob and my parents were going and got me 2 tickets for myself and a friend. I declined last minute because I wanted to throw a party while they were at the show. Big time regret. Looking back, a high school party was a dime a dozen and now I’ll never get to see Petty

I’m a bit older than you (HS class if 2003) but I saw him at Summerfest around the same age, it wasn’t transcendent but it was very good and fun. I’ve always enjoyed his music but I think the style of music tempers the spectacle a bit.
Meanwhile, the Eagles I respect their place in music and their longevity but I don’t think there is a “great” legendary American band I have less interest in than the Eagles. I don’t think there is a single Eagles song I love. Which isn’t true for a lot of bands people adore that I can’t get into as much.

Ended up getting off the waitlist for Olivia Rodrigo and scored four for my teenage son. And, got six Noah Kahan for Alpine, can’t wait. We saw him open for The Strumbellas many moons ago, and his meteoric rise is incredible. He’s such a good songwriter. Someone recently shared a video of Olivia Rodrigo covering one of his songs, so good.

You won’t be disappointed, have seen them many times and it’s always really good. Man, I miss Tom Petty, saw many a legendary show of his.

I've seen the Eagles and we are in agreement. Some people love them so much, but I just don't get it.

Olivia Rodrigo is proving to be interesting as an artist. Easy to dismiss early on as another dime a dozen Disney pop convert, but she’s shown some depth in the last 2 years, and even more encouraging, shown a lot of musical curiosity and diverse musical interest/inspiration.

Completely agree. Her second album “Guts” is outstanding (“Sour” is too, to be clear), a big feat for most artists and their sophomore releases. I think she is a creative lyricist. I read an article why Gen Xers (of which I am one) like her. Kinda gave me some perspective I hadn’t realized might have led me to liking her music.

She's on the cover of the current Rolling Stone. I haven't gotten to the article yet and will probably read now.

Truth be told, I'm not among the biggest Eagles fans you'll meet. I definitely like them, grew up listening to them, and like a lot of their songs (and will probably be able to sing along with most of the set list)...but I'm not even close to a die hard Eagles fan. That's probably why I've never seen them live and wouldn't have bought these tickets for myself. Same is true for Petty, actually. But it's just one of those concerts that I've always wanted to see. Maybe that doesn't make sense. I felt the same way quite a few years ago when I got a chance to see Plant and Page. And U2 just a few years ago -- although I was a bigger U2 fan than any of those others.

40th Anniversary tour of their debut album. They are playing the entire album.

You won’t be disappointed...
Yeah...this is an understatement. They were fantastic and sounded great. They are still very, very tight and great live.
It's nice going to a concert where there is as much focus on the vocals as there is on the guitars -- the mix was excellent. I get frustrated at concerts where they boost the guitars so much that you can't hear the vocals. This was perfect. As good as Steve Miller Band sounded, this was a bit of a problem in his show...a lot of the vocals were pretty low (although maybe this was by design...lol).
Honestly, the most intriguing thing about The Eagles show for me was, "who is this other guitarist?!" As I mentioned in another post, I'm not a die hard Eagles fan. I know them well enough to know that in the more recent years they were primarily Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Joe Walsh, and "that other guy" (bassist Timothy Schmit). I also knew going into this concert that Vince Gill and Frey's son Deacon are now in the band. But throughout the show I kept wondering who the hell that second lead guitarist was. He's on stage left and shares lead guitar duties with Walsh. Walsh's sound/style is unmistakable, but the other guy is also an outstanding lead guitarist. And they clearly know it and they absolutely allow him to share the spotlight with Walsh -- he gets almost as much time on the screens as Walsh and probably more than anyone else other than Walsh. But, at the end of the show, when the main five are taking their bows, he's nowhere to be found; already off stage with the drummers and keyboardists. Turns out his name is Steuart Smith and he's been touring with them since 2001. Despite carrying much of the guitar load in a famously guitar-centric band, he's largely anonymous to the casual fan. He's apparently famously "not a Member" of the Eagles" even though he's been touring with them consistently much longer than Gill or Frey (and honestly carries more of the guitar load than either -- no slight at all to those two as they were fantastic). I'm sure die hard fans know all about Smith...but he was a revelation to me.
Anyway, it was an outstanding show. I'd recommend it highly.

SAW—glad you enjoyed it, I thought you might. They’ve always put on a great show when I’ve seen them.
Side note, checked out a show at the iconic Rave on Wednesday, specifically in the basement, had been awhile since I’ve seen a show in that specific area. Saw The Happy Fits, and, man, they smashed it. Great band with the lead singer/leader as a cellist virtuoso. I see a lot of live music, this show absolutely rates, so damn good.

Agree with you on the Eagles - not a big fan. Disagree on Petty. First saw him and the Heartbreakers as the opening act for Bob Dylan 35+ years ago. They stole the show.
-
Saw the Mary Wallopers tonight. I love their albums but after years of shows in more genres I can count there's very few that have been on that level of energy live. Caveat it's Irish trad music

How's everyone's Spotify wrapped looking? Any surprises?

I just noticed this response.
That is precisely the reason I always wanted to see them live. Even though I didn't listen to them a lot aside from what I'd hear on radio and elsewhere -- I don't think I ever bought any albums -- I always heard that they were absolutely fantastic in concert. I never disliked them at all -- quite the contrary. They just weren't a band that I really followed.

Went to a private corporate party last night where Luke Bryan was brought in to provide the entertainment. Luke put on a 45 minute set , with all his big hits, and was an excellent live performer.

He makes corny pop country and I don’t really think he’s got all that great of a voice, but he does a TON of charity and foundation work and by nearly every account I’ve heard and read, he’s a stand up guy and extremely genuine. Can’t hate on him for that

Don’t know Luke Bryan but I love a song by Zack Bryan (and Kacey Musgraves) called “I Remember Everything”.

Oscar Peterson was a fking badass.
Ive been watching some of his performances on Ytube, he's incredible. Absolutely love the guy, what a talent. I suppose it's Jazz but he should receive more recognition among the all-time great pianists. And he was extremely cool and likeable.

Jazz pianists are often overlooked. The man was masterclass and had tremendous style and pizzazz. Dude was a genius Jockey. I just think he should be clicked up a notch among the all-time greats.

I use to be a MASSIVE Fall Out Boy fan. First album is beyond special to me and the next 2 I still love. Unfortunately, haven't really enjoyed or connected with most of their recent stuff. That being said, they've always had goofy, creative, yet quirky videos that Ive always loved.
Love him or hate him, there are very few athletes who would do this, and that's amazing. The fact that an NBA superstar would wearing an absurd outfit and do this is incredible, makes his media day picture even more hilarious.

Checking out the new Pabst venue on the East Side (MKE) this week called The Vivarium. The Back Room closed at the end of the year, was one of my favorite small venues around. Seeing a band called The Moss, can’t wait.

Just got a recommendation to check out Jacob Collier. Wow, mind blowing, genre bending experience. I probably listened to “Time Alone With You” ten times in a row. Considering checking him at at The Aragon Ballroom in June.
