Yea, great point. So much of our "take" on music depends on where we were in our life journey when we first encountered it. I learn a lot when people take the time to share, as you have here.

Beck - Jackass What genre would we assign to "Beck?" It seems to sit between modern Country and Soft Rock. Either way, I prefer the upbeat musical track to whatever is actually being said. Where It's At I've heard this one before. I see it more or less the same as "Jackass." Some really...

Papa Roach - Leave A Light On Strong vocals. This one has a very personal feel, as if it was written for a very specific circumstance or person. I'd bet there's a backstory. Nice in it's own way. Metric - Help I'm Alive Nice, fun, beat caught my attention immediately. I couldn't make much...

Excellent harmonizing, arguably on par with the original and it's about time the actual "Reaper" received his due.

I misread your earlier comment. I was only referring to the partnership portion.

Maybe. Maybe not.

But you took the time to listen before coming to this conclusion. That's what it's all about.

IMO this sort of thing usually produces some pretty cool and timeless content. Like this one.

Musically, I did anticipate this response but the true value of the performance is how it brought a disparate audience together for a night of detached fun. Our world is sorely in need of this type of thing, These songs are by no means representative of Rap's best but, personally, I've learned...

I agree about the studio version of Posse On Broadway. They did a remix which added the energy this one lacks but I couldn't find it on You Tube. I absolutely LOVE Dolly. As far as I'm concerned, she can do no wrong and her voice is magically unique. I'm not familiar with Jonathan Coulton...

I absolutely love to see different musical interpretations and artist collaborations. Here's one I recently discovered. For context, here's the original studio version. Then this happened... Music can be so powerful.

Good summation. I agree. War's version is a bit more melodic but certainly doesn't top the original, begging the question, "why." LOL - Rap is all about lyrics and the ones presented here are complex. Like a good film, there are layers and sub texts throughout. That's what I love about...

Alice Cooper I'm The Coolest Different, which is meant as a compliment. Worthy of this initial listen but not worthy of ownership. Disco Bloodbath OK, perhaps I only thought the previous track was "different." This may actually just be what Alice Cooper is all about. As I sample all of...

GZA - Fourth Chamber Lyrical prowess at it's finest. The intro sounded like Chevy Chase but, nah... Procol Harum - Whiskey Train This is a bad recording of a nice track. The sonic quality here is too lacking to do justice to the musical awesomeness on display. Kanye West - Stronger Kanye's a...

Procol Harem - "Conquistador": Catchy from the start. very talented vocalist. Donovan - "Season of the Witch": Not a bad tune but a little on the dull side. Seems like one of those highly personal joints. Question Mark & The Mysterians - "96 Tears": You have to think Mick Jagger must have...

Alice Cooper - You and Me Definitely what I expected from Alice Cooper. Very much on the soft side but not at all bad. Alice Cooper - "Only Women Bleed": Same as above. I need my "bad boys" to remain in character. :cool: Alice Cooper - "Ballad of Dwight Fry": I feel like we're getting...

Doug E Fresh & Slick Rick "6 Minutes" The Show This was released in 1985. At that time there were very few Rap groups [Grandmaster Flash was another notable example] that incorporated real showmanship into their productions. It's one of those "you had to be there" type things but this was a...

Ah yes, Kool Moe Dee. I didn't care for a lot of his material but this was both a cool song and video. He actually lives not too far from me here in ATL now. I do appreciate the inclusion of more Rap songs. Thanks guys. "I'm not worthy" :emoji_cry:

I think David had that enigmatic quality [similar to Prince] that just made him larger than life, plus "Let's Dance" was just such a monster hit. RUN DMC? Obscure? I must have misinterpreted this statement.

Always liked Cherelle too. Here's a live version of perhaps her most famous song, a duet with Alexander O'Neal.

That's a good one. Studio musicians are the unsung heroes of the industry. As an IT professional [and former musician] I can certainly relate.

Metallica - "Sad But True": Damn that hits hard. Yea, I like this one although I could do without the singing. Metallica - "The Unforgiven": This group has impressive range. This is exactly why I hate genre classifications, especially when they get too granular. I would not consider this...

At the time these were released they were one group although they did eventually split into two separate groups after some legal issues with their record label. Art & business... Both Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson are exempt from this in my view. They're voices are just magical and I never...

I didn't take it that way. I just wish I had more folks to discuss my favorite genre with. It's like being bilingual in a room full of folks who aren't. As long as you thought of me... :cool:

LoL - Yea. I understand the Rap genre is generally not well-received by most contributing to this thread. Maybe I'll start a separate thread to discuss it. Just kidding. I'll continue to share select songs here. Some will sample them. Others may not. Rap is all about beats and poignant...

Absolutely agree. Johnny is one of those artists I never tire of hearing.

Metallica - The Small Hours This is one of those songs I might have heard earlier in life and totally written off the group. I just don't get anything from it. The lyrics seem pretty much an afterthought and the music is simplistic. Maybe I'm missing something. Entirely possible. Here is an...

One of the earliest and most prolific Rap groups of all time. The musical content alone is astounding for it's time. The lyrics are sharp, clear and powerful. True pioneers. World War III White Lines - (When Rappers wore full costumes and put on a real show!) Duran Duran did a cover of...

I enjoyed both but, as you said, the former mostly our of sentiment. This is definitely a nicer production.

No posts of this legendary Supergroup? I felt it was time to fix that. And while we're at it...
