love me some primus though, who's more influential ritchie hawtin or larry graham?

I guess you don't think michael is much of a musician?Da hand wrote:Ok, but then going back to this. Why would any boyband say that Michael Jackson has been an influence on their music? Obviously it cannot be the music as they don't even write their own music. They may love his music, wish to be like him in one respect or other, acknowledge his musical output, etc. but point to me the influence of Michael Jackson on a boyband's music or pop music in general.please don't say that we're talking about who invented something, nobody ever said that but you, we're talking about influence. michael jackson didn't invent boybands but if you ask any of them from new kids on the block to brittney spears they will cite michael jackson as their primary influence, and that's not even scratching the surface of his influence.
as a matter of fact every single pop artist will cite michael jackson as an
influence.you didn't know that?
I would say, Michael Jackson's contribution in pop dance and music videos has been far greater than his influence on the sound of pop music.
Just like so much else around here... thats a matter of opinion.starving student wrote:who's more influential ritchie hawtin or larry graham?
Bored of the internet wankery about music, yes music is also about environments and influences are passed down etc. What happens occasionally is a group fuses different ideas from different musics or thinking about music, and we eventually get a genre. Denying the importance of groups like Kraftwerk is just as lame IMO as putting them on some pedestal though. You're basically arguing that no group should be thought of as core to a style of music, which I don't agree with, and we're not going to agree on that.H20nly wrote:Now crack that bad boy open and replace your own RAM and hard drive.
Apple Care is a joke, waste of money. Only time I bought it the LCD on my laptop dies, inexplicably cracks in the middle of the night? LCDs aren't covered for freak situations like that.H20nly wrote:^ hats off
seriously.
many Mac owners are too scared to void their Apple "care" all the while they're spouting how nothing ever goes wrong out the other side of their mouth.
That's the internet for you, that's basically all I was saying, the use of the word 'basic' made it seem harsher than intended. All I intended was that it wasn't a well rounded understanding of modern music without Krafterk in much the same way that not knowing about James Brown is.I would agree that they can't have a complete knowledge of modern music history, but not that everything else they know is somehow discredited by missing that component.
That makes total sense, and am happy to take your encouragement to take a listen.Machinesworking wrote:... basically all I ....... intended was that it wasn't a well rounded understanding of modern music without Kraftwerk in much the same way that not knowing about James Brown is.

Careful. You've GOT to love em as if they are the only ones who did anything of that kind. Like the Ramones you know? so fucking creativeI mean hey ho lets go its not as if their friends were playing anything even remotely close to what they were doing.
You have to treat them as if their style spontaneously burst into existence because their is no way they were being influenced by anything going on around them.
Nobody didn't use a Mac before Kraftwerk. They actually came up with the idea of not using a Mac. If you didn't know that you obviously have no sense of basic computer history![]()
No No... it was all sarcasm. Your original post just fueled my rant.Kilroy wrote:Well, if we're going to talk about Amazing 80s Krautrock, I don't even know why we're discussing Kraftwerk. The Scorpions stepped all over Kraftwerk back in the day. Still do.
On a purely semantic level, you're dead wrong.Kilroy wrote:Well, if we're going to talk about Amazing 80s Krautrock, I don't even know why we're discussing Kraftwerk. The Scorpions stepped all over Kraftwerk back in the day. Still do.
