(although they are serious and think they can sing) (he's 76 i thnk, got some serious issues, acts like a movie star, thinks he's elvis or something, sings the most ridiculous songs, but the crowd loves him, everywhere he goes, not because he's a good artist, but the "WTF-effect" as i like to call it) "WTF-effect": is he serious? nah, it's it's a joke. no he's serious, nah, can't be! OMG WTF BBQ he's for real and serious . . . i'm scared... CHANGAI AMAI AMAI!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ov3rdos3 Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Sure, if you like your music second-hand. Eh? Beatles? Pink Floyd? Rolling Stones? Led Zeppelin? Massive Attack? Oasis? Blur? Pulp? The Clash? The Libertines? Dude, seriously. Think before you speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Whilst some nations/cultures create certain types of music better than others, I don't think there's, for want of a better term, a musical champion nation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, seriously. Think before you speak. Dude, seriously. I'll just start with the first one on your list and say Elvis. No Elvis, no Beatles. You can look the rest of 'em up. Next time, don't take an innocent thread and mangle it with Nationalism. Whilst some nations/cultures create certain types of music better than others, I don't think there's, for want of a better term, a musical champion nation.Right Said Charlie.

As for your comment about Beatles being "second-hand" because they were inspired by Elvis, then your entire Nation is invalid, because you were influenced by cavemen, and we all know they started in Africa.

Charlie Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 You'd have to put America and UK up there though...Oh, definately. American/British music is easily my favourite but if I was a jazz lover I might favour French music, German music if I was a classical nut, African music if I loved my harmonies, and so on.

RTP Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Real traditional austrian music is something I quite dislike. But there's a cool and innovative duo who mix traditional austrian music elements with modern sounds: ATTWENGER. I'm a really big fan of them because they like to play around with sounds and language in a good way. Add an edge of left wing political vibe and weed smoke and you have a full concert hall with everything from punks to hippies in the audience who all dance to the same humppa beat ATTWENGER! listen to that stuff, these boys can make really cool music http://www.myspace.com/attwenger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go-Goa Trancer Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 One of the best I know (seriously). Also one of the few songs I actually care about the lyrics. Georges Brassens - Les Copains d'Abord Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
