OK Computer - Radiohead

First time ever listening to Radiohead and I must say that I am already very impressed with them simply based alone on the merits of this album. Each song is very layered and the standouts for me were Let Down and No Surprises. Will be listening to In Rainbows next.

My favorite Radiohead album. Unfortunately it’s also the only Radiohead album I like.

It’s not often that I listen to every recording released by a person, especially a fairly new artist. I was introduced to Agnes Obel a little while back by a friend, and I fell in love with the music, but music often has a way of hitting you differently depending on your mood. Well, I was in the right mood, and I got that wonderful click of inspiration. I wanted to play, I wanted to sing. I find myself humming these songs. I find myself transported by these songs. It’s exciting, and yes…I listened to every album this woman has released, and I want more.

I recommend any of you to listen to random tracks from Youtube, and see what you think. It’s not something where I can chose a song I think best defines her work, I think any will do.

"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won’t last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you’ll be able to project it on a 20’ by 40’ screen with perfect quality. I think it’s the director’s prerogative, not the studio’s to go back and reinvent a movie." - George Lucas

Notorious B.I.G. - Ready to Die, Life After Death

The Person in Question

I’m not gonna lie, it’s kind of depressing listening to this. Geddy’s voice is just not there anymore.

It’s always tough to listen to rock and rollers like Geddy or David Lee Roth in their old age. Their voices are shot. Some rock vocalists like Debby Harry and Sammy Hagar took good enough care of their voices to still sound great at seventy, but it’s rare for that style of singing. Paul McCartney’s voice is pretty iffy too, but I’ve seen him live a couple times, including once less than a few months ago and he still sounded great at my shows. He can’t quite handle the screaming anymore but his voice is still in way better shape than people like Dylan or Roth.

Roth sounded really good on his solo albums. That last solo album he put out before her reunited with Van Halen was bluesier, and it suited his voice much better. With Van Halen he was trying to do that screeching stuff he did as a youngster, and it just wasn’t working. The cover he did of Savoy Brown’s I’m Tired compliments his aged voice better than his new Van Halen work. Of course, people that I’ve talked to that saw Van Halen in their prime, said he sounded bad then. The bootleg concerts I’ve heard/seen vary. His voice was closer to the albums, I know that. I think his voice has lost a lot of its huskiness and roughness. His voice actually kind of smoothed with age. He can’t do those screeches that he was famous for.

Of course, I saw Billy Joel last December, and aside from the fact that his voice deepened from a tenor to more of a baritone, I think he’s a stronger live vocalist than he was in his “prime”. He put on a damn good show, and didn’t sound like a man in his late 60s. I suspect he probably learned techniques to better protect his voice, as some of his 80s performances you could hear him struggling at times. Plus Billy always sounded different from song to song. You May Be Right, Piano Man, New York State of Mind, Uptown Girl, and Say Goodbye To Hollywood all sound like different vocalists.

I didn’t even know this album existed until just last week. I listened to it, and I think it’s some of Michael’s better work. Quite underrated, in my opinion.

Not enough people read the EU.

I honestly prefer his voice now that it’s worn out. I have a hard time enjoying Rush. Musically fantastic but his voice really annoys me.

I used to feel that way…when my then-girlfriend introduced me to Rush in the mid-90’s. I’ve come around completely on his voice to where his current(ish) voice makes me cringe.
