HogHammer Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 @Snargfargle Great song, Baker Street. There are YouTubers who do "first reactions" to songs. I love how the first time they hear this song, they are blown away. It says a lot about the overall quality of music several decades ago. When you see the shoulders and the head bobbing, you know someone is into the music. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always a drop of good talent out there... As you pointed out, that drop is evaporated by the 6,000° heat of commercial music trash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Efros Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 John Martyn - May You Never on the OGWT, Old Grey Whistle Test hosted by Whispering Bob Harris, who is still on BBC radio. A groundbreaking music show in the UK, gave acts their first opportunity to perform to a national audience live. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real problem and more difficult to accept reality is the taste of the average public is also mediocre. They get what they crave and pay for: mediocre, banal, comforting sound garbage.

clammboy Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 I put this in another thread but I thought it would be good here too. A safety dance remix using some of the original Wows video from a few years back. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArIskandir Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 So, since I got back some spare time from not playing WoWS, I started going back to the gym and took up on learning bass... I came along this version of So Young, I was running this through the bass amp and the tone of that bass really got me... if you can, boost the bass line... it's so good 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yss_turtleship Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 I've been wanting this camo for so long but kept on holding off buying it in case some mission comes up needing Community Tokens. One of my mates in the clan brought his out when we went to battle and I decided not to put it off any longer. I'm going into battle with this camo on and this song playing in the background. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArIskandir Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 One with an iconic moment: Halfway into the song Kurt's guitar stops working, for several seconds he's there fighting with the thing but it makes no sound, remember this is a televised Live gig... finally Kurt drops the guitar in frustration and produces one of the most iconic rage/frustration yells on the history of Rock, and as far as I rememeber the only time I've seen Kurt on stage without guitar. Accidental masterpiece. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accidental masterpiece. Love this band saw them when I was living in Hawaii at a place called pings garage I think it was called. It was on the big island basically a bar. They were great I couldn’t believe how much sound came out of only 3 guys. This was before smells like teen spirit even came out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yss_turtleship Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 I'm no audiophile, but I'm curious—how do you guys listen to your music? Do you go for stereo, surround sound, speakers, closed-back, on-ear, or open-back headsets? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you go for stereo, surround sound, speakers, closed-back, on-ear, or open-back headsets? When I was younger and lived alone, I used a stereo that I purchased while stationed in Japan. It included a decent set of speakers and a decent equalizer panel. It can play all the formats of the 1990's (phonograph, casette tape, 5-disc CD player) and has an input connection for auxiliary equipment. It's also currently boxed-up and stored in the basement of our house. Fast-forward to "nowadays" where the most sophisticated and expensive piece of audio equipment that I'll be using is probably my car's sound system. (2016 Kia Soul, base model). Otherwise it is the speaker of my phone, or the speakers of my laptop computer or using headphones with either of them. My headphones aren't terrible, but they're 5+ years old and were purchased for less than $20 dollars. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
