Pre-Friday Funny... (Saddam / Outkast)

*BZZZT!*

Sean Paul or Shabba Ranks is not doing the same sort of thing now as
I-Roy in the mid 70s or Bob Marley.

Or even Dillinger - remember CB 200?

Or are you all Steeleye Span fans???????????

How the **** can you do that? Drum and bass just sounds like a drum kit
being kicked down stairs, did stairs sound different in each decade.

 

Oi! that's the voice of reason you're talking about. Show some respect.

 

Fucking hell, really? I-Roy wasn't that uncommon in the late 70s, Sean
Paul is popular in the last year or two and Shabba's been around for
(I'd guess) 5 years. This is all observed by someone with little
interest in contempory music.

 

Both of us know that's not the case.

 

Pshaw. All of that nu-metal crap just sounds like Black Flag or Bad
Brains, but with better production values.

 

Try more like 10-15 years, old man.

Though apparently more knowledge then someone playing in a band covering
said contempory music. ;-)

 

I've never owned a whistle of any kind, I'll have you know. And I
don't listen to much dance music.

 

Well, given that he had a "Best of" album in '92, I think even you're
being conservative.

 

only if you're old. It's not a possible challenge anyway, as
Drum'n'Bass, even when it was still Jungle or even breakbeat techno
didn't really exist before about '93 or so, at the very earliest.

I'm no expert, though - I mostly listen to ambient or abstract music
at the moment.

True, though it has been known that boybands after 2 years
of fame produce a "Best of"

 

When did I say we covered contemporary music?

 

Except fans of PG-era Genesis.. or The Flower Kings.

Well, just the other day, when you were requesting suggestions for
some new songs for thy band. And don't you cover some Blink182 stuff?

*jumping back to Shabba Ranks*

I would have thought a song like Mr. Loverman would have been right up your
street btw.

 

that, and the fact modern DnB is mostly shit. I blame "Lock Stock and
2 Smoking Barrels", myself.

 

None of it's that far from Bring The Noise, which was '88.

And screaming in, only *just* over a month[1] after the post he's
responding to, comes ogden.

Well done oggie.

[1] Well, a shade over six weeks, in fairness.

 

Heh. I've been busy, and now I can't sleep, so I'm catching up.
