I liked Toto.
I noticed alot of remakes and rappers sampling decent music ruining the original song.
I think the offenders need to have their genetalia ether put into a slow moving ten ton vice, or tazered repeatedly till the didnt know they were comming or going.
Or a favorite of mine,, thier naughty bits caught in a rat trap.

Daft Punk have made some cracking tunes, but Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger isn't one of them.
-
Ack! I didn't need this, I'm trying to teach myself not to care.
I should be happy as long as I have the original, and the memories. The awesome memories. Driving through Vice City at a millions miles an hour. Good times, good times.

Im a huge Dokken fan from way back.
I grew up with these guys. Ive seen them in concert i cant tell you how many times.
Don DOkken allways had a song to fit a situation in my life.
When I heard one of my all time faves, In My Dreams, remade by someone recently I wanted to find the producer and pull his bloody throat out!

I get headache from your examples CMF.

CMF, willingly inflicting the Jonas Brothers on folks is just plain evil.

But it just started:
I need my sedatives now.

Heh heh heh!
98. If you are a new band, cover an old 80s song and make it as catchy as you can. Ship this song as your first radio single - instant success!
-
Thats why I hate America music. Its all corporate bs. They might as well write jingles for comercials.
Like Treant Reznor said back in 1996, The day of the musician is over.

I've never been a huge fan of Celine Dion, but this is just too much....
-

I actually can't bring myself to listen to Celine Dion's version, the woman grates on my nerves and the sound of her voice cuts through me like an icy wind.

Please say you're just taking the piss.

Celine Dion did a show in Canada several eyars ago and had several guests.
When her guests would come out to sing, she would come out and turn it into an impromptu duet.
It pissed her guests off,,when asked about it later she said she was just " trying to make her guests sound better".
Im glad shes in Branson ( or as its called here" Entertainers Hell")

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr

I just got into an argument with this idiot.
Hes swearing Aerosmith stole Walk This Way from Run DMC.
Hes also telling me Def Leppards ( I HATE this band!) first album was Hysteria.

Hysteria was Def Leppard's fourth album "On Through the Night" was the first one (7 years earlier).
"Walk This Way" was written by Stephen Tyler & Joe Perry and released by Aerosmith 11 years before the Run DMC version.
So you're right. Whoever you were arguing with is surely an idiot.
-
"Surely an idiot", has no internet, and is 20 years old. ::)

Shirley Anidiat?

I'm late in here but hell i'm back!!!!
This is why I hate modern music!
It's not music to my ears tis why i loath it ;)
-
:o :o
^ *agrees* I'm not sure if I can even name more then one of her songs.. in fact, I'm sure I can't.
-
Checkov,,, your a sick man.
My friends once threw me a surprise birthday party. When they asked me what song I wanted to listen to, I said "All By Myself" and they all groaned. I was loving it. Made them sit through a couple more songs before they begged me to switch the CD (yes, I own one of her albums).
If it helps, I only like a couple of her songs, I suppose you can call it a (not very) guilty pleasure.
-
Hey man,, I like Johnny Cash.
But,,, Im also a WASP fanatic and Andrew Eldritch from Sisters of Mercy speaks to me.
Call me wierd.
-
I stay 80's metal,so called modern music is usually recycled poo.
-
So true so true so true
-
-
Most of the music i listen to is old school,like Miles Davis,Pink Floyd..........well there's lots.
The only modern band i like is TOOL.

Straight From asylum?

^ I actually have a love/hate guilty pleasure thing for that Imogen Heap song. Plus it always cracks me up because it reminds me of the SNL Digital Short - Dear Sister :D :D :D :D :D

I love Imogen Heap's song. But Jason Derulo ruined it with the remix. And the worst is that, from now on, everybody will know Derulo's version and people will forget that it is Imogen Heap's song.

ahhh.. I get it. yup.. I agree :P

About Imogen Heap:
This video contains content from Vevo, who has decided to block it in your country
:-\
Who/what the hell is Vevo ? ???
However, the crappy Jason Derulo's remix is available. :D

See 0:44 of the video below
Listen to the first part of this song
And this :o

Who/what the hell is Vevo ? ???
Sorry about that. It's yet another copyright crap.
Here, I hope this one works:

Listen to the first part of this song
Not really. I mean, if you want, we can find thousands of songs that sound alike for 2-3 seconds. What bugs me really is when 50=80% of the song is copied and it becomes popular thanks to that part.
Oh, and nursery rhymes don't count. ;) Who listens to them anyways. :P ;) :D ;D ;D

Me! :D
I was totally getting zenned out to the Alphabet Song.. and people keep walking in and interrupting me >:(
-
The Kidz Bop commercials are the one's that drive me crazy. Why wouldn't you just have your kids listen to the original songs, bu the original artists? How did that whole trend even start? >_<

It's very obvious that he lifted that riff for that song which was actually the genesis
for Stairway to Heaven. Whatever the case, yeah, it's really not work using a popular
song as a backing track then releasing it as another song.

I need soft room from mental hospital after this thread.

I think it actually worse to obviously steal a short riff. Sampling doesn't bug me. I might think the sampled song is dumb compared to the original.. but I get it. And some riff's are super classic.. like a blues line, or.. maybe even a surf music beat. But the Stairway to Heaven thing seems obviously stolen.
-
I said it in 1990 and ill say it again,, the day of the musician is over.
Now we have this sampling BS and the advent of digitalization has destroyed any use of real tallent out there.
If you can record a riff or sample someone elses song your an "artist". Where people like Ted Nugent and KISS actualy played an instrument and wrote their own things.
Its a cheeper way for the record companies to make money.
I call it Homogenized cowpoo.
-
There are still a lot of pop (read all popular music) musicians that write, record
and produce their own music without sampling. If anything, digital technology
has given far more people the opprotunity to express their originality through
music and have it available to the public without having to use expensive recording
studios and record companies.
The Nuge and Kiss aren't very good examples of "good" musicians BTW :D
-
I don't think music's dead. with anything in life sometimes you have to search things out. But, I definitely think there are always talented creative people in the world.
I want to see more videos from the ABC song magic carpet ride mushroom people. It makes me sleepy and happy and fuzzy feeling :)

What im getting at frank,, is that anyone with a midi set up and a keyboard can do whatever they like and someone will concider themselves an artist.
I play now for a couple bands,, ( lead guitar for one and bass for another). I dont concider a computer a musical instrument.
Aphex Twin bothers me since its not music,, its electronic sounds comming from a computer.
You dont even have to know how to play an instrument anymore,, any kid with the right programing and a pc can do what it took alot of us years to accomplish( I E sound good and play well).
No before you mention it,, its not jealousy,, its disgust with the way things are going.
Alot of people have spent years getting good at their craft just to be replaced with the new flavor of the week one hit wonders that seem to crawl out from every rock that gets turned over.
And I happen to like KISS and Ted Nugent. Alot of people do.
-
Call me a necromancer if you will, and I don't think any of the people participating in this discussion are even active any more (and more than one I am not on very good terms with, especially the stalker)....BUT, Frank, you should know more than anyone that Led Zeppelin stole absolutely everything, and I mean EVERYTHING(!!) they recorded and performed. There is not a single song credited to them that was not originally recorded by someone else years and years earlier.
Robin, everyone has different taste in music, and midi instruments do not make music for you. You still need to know how to compose.
-
I honestly didn't realize that about Zeppelin.
I do like the songs, regardless, but who knows what time will do.
Don't have too many problems with the entire regime of "modern music" But I do hate me some lady gaga music, even so, she wrote a song I liked, I heard someone else sing it then found out it was her's so I listened to her version... she ruined her own song.
Beyond her, there is a facade of terrible dance/rap songs and "hip hop" music that is so much worse than the crap I bought into liking in 2000.
It's unbelievable to me, then I think, what would my grandpa think of the songs I liked then? I wonder what he would think now, that I still listen to them.
And people just a hair older than me hate that music. I am just a hair older than the teenage hipsters, and I hate it all.
I tried to like the rocker kid's new version of hard rock..... not so much.
I ended up liking this one song though,
-
Hi Bea, yeah the Led Zep thing got me too. I was a huge fan as an early teen, to the point of learning how to play nearly every song on guitar (not to speed mind you, I'm not that good).
There is also the fact that young'uns have not heard as much music as grown-ups have. It is all new to them. They are still amazed by music. Music that sounds old and tired to us could sound like a revolution to them.
One thing I have noticed amongst my younger friends is that they have the respect for the old stuff my gen never really had. And that comes out in the music they write, there are nods to a lot of past performers in heaps of indie music as well as hip-hop/rnb. Some see the samples in hip-hop as theft, but in this day and age permissions are need to use the samples and the use of the samples tends to not be a simple 'we are going to ride on this song's coattails' as the kids don't know that they are samples to start with.
But anywhoo, there is an old saying with will always ring true: There is no accounting for taste.
