Love - Forever Changes

Loving the Love love, man. Fantastic band (and largely unknown these days).

[GuardhouseMusic]

Yeah, it's great how Arthur Lee (RIP) could be flamboyantly psychedelic and dark at the same time. "A House is Not a Motel," "The Red Telephone," etc.

[Dan Corson]

Love is one of those '60s bands I always try and get people to check out. It makes me so sad that the last couple of generations (mine included) don't really seem to care about anything from the '60s and '70s. Those decades were some of the most creatively adventurous and fertile times for pop music, if not THE most. So many amazing groups and artists emerged from that era!

The lack of the Beatles in this thread is sad. Very sad.

If this were a 'top twenty', most of my other ten would be Beatles and solo Beatles.

The outakes, christmas messages, and rooftop concert should fit in there somewhere too

Yeah hiphop all the way!

Thug Life - Tupac Shakur w/Outlawz
Notorious - Notorious BIG aka Biggie Smalls w/ Bad Boys
You got Serve - DMX
2pacolypse - Tupac Shakur
Gangsta Nation - IceCube
Road Gangstaz - Run DMC
Bringin Pain - Lil Wayne
G-Unit Soldier - 50 cent w/ G-Unit
Faces of Death - EA Ski
White Thug - EMINEM aka Slim Shady

I like Pac's early work too mostly because it was more politically driven but there isn't even enough of my favorite songs on the albums, Trapped is my favorite from 2pacalypse Now.
But for love of god wtf is Lil Wayne doing on a list next to PAC, BIG, Run DMC and WC he one of the reasons Rap / Hip-Hop sucks donkey dick these days.

I love Revolver and so much of their songs. I listened to 'em as a kid and watched Help too many times. I grew up in a music (pop or otherwise) loving household, so it'll be interesting to see how it influences me.

That's the way it was for me too. My parents were huge Elvis fans and they were always watching movie musicals..I still remember the words to some songs from The Music Man

[GuardhouseMusic]

I wish they listened to Elvis. I don't think they had much of an opinion of him (though my dad didn't prefer white artists). I think I may have to take matters into my own hands at some point regarding early rock 'n roll, 50s stuff. Musicals just happened to me a bunch of times (well easy when you live near Broadway for Christ's sake). The Producers for instance, and my entire 6th grade year was littered w/ plays and musicals.

There's some truly amazing '50s stuff, man.

Also, I'm really happy to see so many music geeks here!

[EDIT] Oh yeah, are any of you planning on getting the Beatles remasters in September?

Is it the whole back catalogue? I notice that the CD's have minor errors corrected on them like the false starts and have some oversamples covering up things like out of key vocal parts that were on the LP's and 8-tracks, it would be interesting to see what they do with em this time.

DualDisc remasters FTW they normally turn up the volume of ad-libs and background instruments to make them more apparent.

[nemesiswontdie]

yha With_Teeth and The Downward Spiral both have dual disk remastered cd's and they are a little louder but TDS has a 10 year anniversary 2 disk set with SACD and they sound a little more louder than the Dualdisks

with teeth wasn't remastered, the dualdisc came out the same day it was released, the downward spiral, on the other hand was.
