i just don't understand this genre at all



i listen to it and i just can't figure out why i'm supposed to care about what they're doing

[jawn galliano]

i blame it on my privileged upbringing, and also because i'm white



the fact that i don't understand the blues, i mean

[quote name="Skinoperable"]



you have two options:



a) blues



b) reggae



you have to listen to either of these things non-stop for two hours. choose your fate![/quote]



Blues, dig. Reggae is like organic techno, and on and on and on and on and on...I do like me some reggae on the odd occasion though

[jawn galliano]

well i don't hate blues per se, but the world would definitely be a better place if reggae had never existed. so blues i guess

[FUKKET]

appreciates

i dont really care for olds blues but i like the southern bluesy sludge metal sound

[Abzu]

I :appreciate: it the Screamin Jay Hawkins, Muddy Waters, Ledbetter, and random raw gritty deep south blues, and the rock inspired by the blues (Hendrix ::::::::::;;;;;;;;;;;;;)



That music was pure feeling and should always be revered.

I don't really enjoy reggae at all, but I do enjoy some of the West Coast stuff inspired by ska and reggae in the 80s and early gloryhole era (examples: Sublime, early Choking Victim)

[jawn galliano]

sublime, are you goddamned kidding me?!

[jawn galliano]

my roommate for the last couple months i lived in south carolina listened to 40 ounces in his car for the entire duration i stayed there. i never want to hear that band again for as long as i live

[Haunty]

[quote name="Skinoperable"]while i did enjoy sublime a lot more when i was a teen, they have more or less become the white version of bob marley.[/quote]



There's some new group that's all the rage with some people I know, named something like "Pepper." They are the worst kind of shitty sublime knockoff; I went to a bar with a sexy leopard elevator I know from school and she had this shit on in the car. I have never in my life more wanted to punch an attractive chick.

[Haunty]

I cannot be in the same room with that shit. Somebody's going to suffer the fucking fisticuffs if I hear it again.

[jawn galliano]

wow this pepper shit is so bad. it sounds like the kind of band you'd hear opening for like a 311 show or something

[Abzu]

[quote name="Derek Waters"]sublime, are you goddamned kidding me?![/quote]

not at all. I very much enjoy a good bit from 40 oz and the self titled.

Bingo. That's exactly what it sounds like.
