I just wish people would stop calling stuff with a few electric guitars in it "rock".
That's like saying Jack Black is "metal".

I would like to pause for a moment, to talk about my penis.
My penis is like a toddler. A toddler—who is a perfectly normal size for his age—on a long road trip to what he thinks is Disney World. My penis is excited because he hasn’t been to Disney World in a long, long time, but remembers a time when he used to go every day. So now the penis toddler is constantly fidgeting, whining “Are we there yet? Are we there yet? How about now? Now? How about... now?”
And Disney World is nowhere in sight.

They become important when they're attached to a certain subculture. Which pop music inherently isn't, so terms like pop-rock are a paradox.

I recently watched A Headbangers Journey and the guy did two interviews with Dio. He seemed like a really awesome person in general, which makes his death even more sad. :?

I can't remember the last time I heard a good song on the radio
I think its finest hour has came and went
you just have to find a good radio station
I found a station around here that plays all sorts of stuff. Decemberists, White Stripes, Mumford & Sons, Gorillaz, Black Keys, Broken Social Scene, Broken Bells, etc. Best radio station I've ever heard.
We only just got a radio station like this this year. Literally the first time I've heard the Black Keys on the radio.

How is popular rock a paradox? Rock can be popular, you know? The Beatles and Led Zeppelin sold quite a few albums in their prime.
A good point but The Beatles and Led Zep had their own memorable style, both musically and look-wise.
Then you've got, for example, Metalcore where every band looks (and sounds) exactly the same because it's popular and why do things differently when samey shit gets you $$$?

My radio is set to some Mexican merengue/cumbia/salsa station
So it is basically all awesome
listen to their most recent album
you'll love it
i did, and now i'm listening to their entire back catalog
Steam
oh my god
so good

YOU'VE BEEN DOWN TOO LONG IN THE etc
I don't remember exactly when it was, but it was definitely before Zombieland came out
now I have all of their albums, they are so fantastic
Yes.

I think about modern music less in terms of genres and more... I guess emotional response?
oh look
i have been saying this for the longest time
now people listen
Steam
Rainbow in the Dark is my favorite right now
In a way I'm kind of happy that he died because I wouldn't have known about him without the mourning thread
:T
e: fuck yeah gg
Kings of Leon are like the shittiest band in their neighborhood of the Pandora map who have inexplicably became the most famous and successful.
Hey Soul Sister reached the point where it made me violently ill about five months before it started appearing on commercials.
That concludes this list of things discussed in this thread that I feel like commenting on because Nickelback is beneath comment.
instrumentation is good I suppose
not a fan of the vocals
Just muddy and shitty sounding, it feels like I'm listening to it being played from outside of a stadium
Except "rock" is about the most general term for any genre of anything.
I wouldn't say it's shitty sounding but their change in producer was definitely a downgrade.
The week he died I went to karaoke and me and my roommate were gonna do Holy Diver in his honor but my friend bailed so we didn't
Good thing too because this other guy did Rainbow in the Dark and I swear to god it was like Dio's soul was singing through this dude's body
It was fucking incredible

the vocals are half of the appeal of the Black Keys to me!
I am sorry for your loss
dio is probably the most drunk-singiest music ever
and while i'm here and the subject is vaguely about pop-!
