You can't force somebody to be open minded. They have to do it on their own.

[QUOTE=Schyma]:lol:

No-one would get banned if it was intelligent discussion and not mindless flaming.[/QUOTE]

It WILL be mindless flaming, though.

We should make a thread called "ITT: The CR thread attempts to broaden your mind to more genres of music" and all the regulars upload their 5 favorite rock songs. Doesn't have to be Classic, it could be modern.

[QUOTE=Illmatic]It WILL be mindless flaming, though.[/QUOTE]
OK then it won't happen but I do think Metal heads (in general) need to know how bad of a reputation they have these days in this forum and how close minded they're being. Now I'm not talking about ALL Metal Heads because there are some very intelligent and open minded ones but this isn't the case in most.

I'm EXTREMELY close-minded when it comes to metal.

I think this would be good if we only did one-two songs each.

I wouldn't mind doing that, although I'm about to go out. I'd say include some jazz (any type of jazz is fine, maybe pop in some Miles Davis and Eric Dolphy).

Definitely some bluegrass, to show that there are still guitarists who can play faster on acoustics than a lot of shredders can on their electrics.

edit- Dammit!!! Apparently because of the Canada Games there have been free concerts at Wascana Park (my second favourite park in the city) for the past week and I've been at my cottage. My friend got to see April Wine for free the other night. April Wine!!!

That just might work.

[QUOTE=ultimaterocker]very true and to your other point it does seem as if the metal heads now rule R&M which is to baad. :upset:[/QUOTE]

Pretty much. It's about 90% metal and 10% rock.

On another note, Electric Ladyland rocks.

Yeah, give um some Tony Rice. \m/ :angry: \m/

I've been getting into a lot of Jazz-Rock fusion lately, any one else enjoy the music of this genre?

I love Fusion. Jeff Beck's 2 Fusion masterpeices Frank Zappa's [I]Hot Rats[/I], Tony Williams' [I]Emerency![/I], Miles Davis' [I]Bitches Brew[/I]...etc

I love fusion. :)

Have you heard Soft Machine's [I]Third[/I]? Its a fusion gem


Edit- Today is Woodstock's 36th aniversary.

Yay for Woodstock! :)

I don't have any Soft Machine albums. I've heard they're pretty good though.

Two days from now is my one year mx anniversary.

I've heard Vol. 1 and 2, but I've never heard Third.

To whoever asked: The Dead recorded a studio version of Dark Star, but it was never released (to my knowledge) until they put out the remastered version of Live/Dead.

So you registered on the last day of Woodstock, naming yourself Woodstock.

Do I smell a conspiracy?

I think we should do a Part 2 to Chris' thread. Every CR regular upload 2 of their favorite songs and post them, and give a short explanation on why you like that song.

Let's try to include various genres of the rock spectrum.

I don't know, maybe we should have an AIM chat on the concept and such; try to be more original and other stuff.

I think three tracks would be good. I'd have Bluegrass, Buena Vista Social Club, and the Dead :cool:

Okay, that sounds like a good idea. When should we hold this chat? Tonight?

I'd be up for that.

[QUOTE=White_heat]I've been getting into a lot of Jazz-Rock fusion lately, any one else enjoy the music of this genre?[/QUOTE]

I like rock with jazz influences, like, The Doors, if that's what you mean.

[size=7]ATTENTION: ALL CR REGULARS. PLEASE LOG ON AIM ONCE YOU SEE THIS POST TO DISCUSS POSSIBLE NEW THREAD.

KTHX[/size]

Edit: If you don't have AIM, download it @ [url]http://www.aim.com[/url] and IM the screen name Mr Blue Sky562

So did that go anywhere or no? Also keep in minded that the metal fans on this site tend to figure we're close minded because we don't listen to metal.

We had a chat and kinda established stuff. I think me and Badmoon know what we'd like to upload. If we really want to do this another chat with more regulars would be needed.

And we won't know how many songs each of us should upload until we know how many would be participating.

Is it really that big of an issue though? How bout just anywhere from 2-4 or something. Not everyone has to upload the same amount.

I'm not a regular poster but I tend to read this every time I log on and this sounds rather interesting so if I'm permitted I'd like to participate.

I could've came.

Don't know if I'm cool enough.

;P

Well, I was just thinking say if 5 people upload 3 songs that 15 songs would be a little to much. Usually when people do write-ups they seem to upload around 7 or so.

meh

I'm pretty sure I have your SN, but I forget what it is.

Oh, and if you guys haven't already download the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion album from whichever YSI thread it was in, you should. It is quite good.

Participate in what? This thread? If you have something to add to the conversation, be all means post it.
