@six: Lol I didn't know that but i guess that's not surprising considering I barely pop up anymore and once this dies down you probably won't see me for a while, knowing me.

"songwriting got better and more emotion-evoking as the state of the world got worse and more people wanted to open up their hearts"

wasn't there like an influx of this during and following the Vietnam war or something.

can you imagine how much better a recording of rubber soul in drop g# tuning would've sounded?

yeah i'd imagine there was, things like that tend to happen following stuff like that



"can you imagine how much better a recording of rubber soul in drop g# tuning would've sounded?" Lmao that probably wouldn't have worked. A recording of it in more of a modern pop-rock style could be somewhat interesting.

Emotion wasn’t invented until 97

"Hmm, people can't have opinions that differ from yours? That's ignorance?"

I could give two fucks for how much people itt enjoy the Beatles/the Beach Boys/Dylan etc

this kind of warping of contemp production standards and preferences for vocal styles into a licence to dismiss entire decades of music for not living up to some standard entirely irrelevant to their creation is ignorant and stupid and not worth indulging in the slightest even for a second

'songwriting got better and people learned to open their hearts because the world got worse' is such a braindead myopic take that idgaf about paying lip service to any opinion underpinning it

this is my opinion and if you disagree fuck you, you should not be allowed outside hot topic without a qualified supervisor

Don't you think I've tried to get into more older music to broaden my horizons and understand things better? The issue comes because a lot of it just starts bleeding together and sounding really basic and it's a situation where I respect the origins but don't enjoy it nearly as much as modern music, and I can't sit here listening to 200 old-ass albums to try to pick out minor differences, especially when back in the 60s, they seemingly had more 20 year old guys that all sounded like they were in their 40s and 50s with the most normal-ass vocal timbre you've ever heard. Either that or they sounded off-key like Dylan.

60s production is my favorite thing ever :]

is this opposed to generic 2000's hard rock vocalist archetypes 1 or 2 or genericore screamer boy/girl edition or what

If we're talking 60s production though, I do have to give credit to the 'Stones for "Beggars Banquet", it holds up quite well.

check the stooges

“is this opposed to generic 2000's hard rock vocalist archetypes 1 or 2 or genericore screamer boy/girl edition or what”

Was wondering this too

Opposed to anyone from Kurt Cobain to Layne Staley to Spencer Sotelo to Matt Tuck to Chester Bennington to Daryl Palumbo to Anthony Green to Ozzy Osbourne to Gerard Way to Billy Corgan (loath as I am to admit considering he's a shitbag, I like his vocal tone) to Chino Moreno, there's loads I could be naming.

are u really pretending like there isn't a variety of different vocal styles in older rock music lol

ozzy osbourne started in the 90s

A lot of them just sound so...NORMAL. Like you could probably find 100 vocalists that sound like Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Ringo Starr, John Lennon they're the most normal sounding guys ever lmao.

And yeah Ozzy was 70s but his style was an anomaly in how unique it sounded.

That's a very basic take. Just stop dude. Go to bed kiddo.
