The Eagles are the first place I noticed. They aren't a rock band. They are a country band that gets played on rock stations.
It was years later when I finally figured out the con that Pink Floyd had played on so many rock stations.
"Composite Rock" is actually jazz.
Oh how we raged!
With our headphones on.
With "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" blasting.
FUCK!
We like jazz.
Some jazz. Melodic jazz. Not mastubatory jazz where every player gets his/her/its solo to make noise and do nothing to further the musical ascendancy of the piece. Where, in comparison, cramming all the instruments and the performers in a hoggs head and rolling it down a steep, boulder encrusted hill over a cliff into a ravine full of anti-tank mines and obstacles, while recording it.
ReplyDeleteYeah, some jazz. SOME. Some jazz is okae is excellent. Most of it is like listening to a drunk bar band's badly done version of Billy Joel's "Piano Man" when half the group is actually playing some Doors abomination while the 'lead' singer sounds like a dying emphysema patient trying to gargle razor blades while trying to sound 'breathy.'
