PL Board Mixtape

RIP Chick Corea.

Might not be many on here who know him other than @The Ginger Marks but this guy had a massive influence on Jazz / Latin / Fusion and paved the way for huge innovations in music going forward

 

Thanks for the heads up mate, such a sad loss for music. A true inspiration to many genres.

 

Giles Peterson has done a tribute show. I’m gonna stick that on later and roll up a fat one.

will post up the link when I’m home later

 

Here's the link to that Chick Corea show mate.

and for any other Jazz ****ers like us

seems no one else has ever heard of him.

 

Yeah maybe not on here.

Colossus of Jazz though.

 

Love a bit of Pat Metheny as well mate

 

@luvgonzo

currently got this playing, and quite loudly

 

Great tune. I love their early stuff but there was no denying that live RU Mine was superb.

 

Just gonna put it out there. Led Zepplin and the likes were actually ****.

 

this is probably imo the best song ever done...All 8 minutes plus, and one the bird kicks in.

 

I'll raise @PINKIE 's with a and a .

 

Plant and Page probably two of the most revered song writers ever, up there with Lennon/McCartney, Jagger/Richards, Simon/Garfunkel.

A band that defined a genre and inspired a whole generation of bands who followed.

But they're ****

 

Don't know what you mean by "the likes" but I get where you're coming from, I like some of their songs love 1 or 2 but generally think they are overhyped. Bit controversial but I would never put a whole album on my them.

 

Just as we're half agreeing on something you post Meatloaf, now they were ****.

 

Music of course is down to the individual but here's a short list of so called big bands that I think are overhyped, Join in if you like.

Pink Floyd
Oasis
The Beatles
Red Hot Chilli Peppers

 

I think there's a difference between not liking a band and thinking they are **** or overhyped. Out of that list above I only really like the Chili Peppers, but I recognise the contribution the others have made to music.

Putting it into perspective from Comm's point of view. A band like AC/DC are huge and made a massive impact on the rock/metal scene. But I cannot stand listening to them or the likes of Status Quo or any of that 3 chord rock stuff.

 

Not sure about that, I personally don't think Led Zep made a bad album. By no means faultless in that there are some duff tracks but I'd be amazed anyone could say any album was ****. All superb musicians as well.

Get what you're saying re Floyd, it stopped at The Wall for me. I think Division Bell was next, which I couldn't listen to, so I never bought or listened to anything by them after that. There's a period of there's which is essentially Dark Side, Animals, Wish you Were Here and The Wall which I really like, the rest is meh as ****.

Kudos to their musicianship though, can't be questioned.

 

The Wish You Were Here song is one of my fave songs ever but I don't like any other tracks by them.
