I'm fairly certain you've never tried to push a Dylan album onto me with the assumption that I just hadn't heard the right songs. You don't operate under the pretense that if I don't like the music you like it's because I haven't been exposed to it correctly. <br /><br />Additionally, Incubus and Tool both rock, but they are WORLDS apart in terms of style. If someone has been telling you, Poindexter, that if you love Cradle of Filth then you'll love Incubus, they're stupid.silly_sad_machinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11471969978593905047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194567534766393929.post-61454109753250112592011-03-17T09:31:58.265-07:002011-03-17T09:31:58.265-07:00I'd be curious who you considered to be a &quo...I'd be curious who you considered to be a "structured" band. When I read "structured," I think of those pre-packaged pop songs on the radio that follow a specific formula - A, A, B, C, A – and all sound the same. I would argue that rock in and of itself is the rebellion against structure and convention, and improvisation from "jam bands" is the free-form exploration of that rebellion.<br /><br />Oh...and DMB is the best band ever...topherbobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194567534766393929.post-75656484498913339732011-03-16T09:45:31.429-07:002011-03-16T09:45:31.429-07:00Right there with you on DMB.

With the younger ones its usually Tool, Incubus or Opeth. There is nothing wrong with any of these bands and they are talented musicians, but if you just say you don't care for their music the hardcore fans get LIVID, usually saying things like, "I know, some people don't like really good music."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16840296113084241484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194567534766393929.post-44443564479423868222011-03-16T09:45:11.231-07:002011-03-16T09:45:11.231-07:00i'm aware of who silly sad machine is...and i ...i'm aware of who silly sad machine is...and i have heard that album you talked about because you played it for me one time...and my DMB bashing mouth hole remains ever open! you can't hold me down, sir!Ross Gipsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16434242151557012550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194567534766393929.post-19490579910571691652011-03-16T09:43:43.453-07:002011-03-16T09:43:43.453-07:00Oh, and additionally ...

It really...Dude, you should check out Busted Stuff. It really turned me on to Dave. I think you'd dig it.<br /><br />In all seriousness, I get what you're saying, but I don't agree about the lack of a foundation in DMB music. It may SEEM that way when you're listening to an official, full-band DMB song, but there really is a strong foundation going on. I don't think I really fell in LOVE with DMB (I'd enjoyed his riffs here and there in high school) until I heard Live at Luther College, the acoustic album featuring just Dave and Tim Reynolds. If you need to be convinced that his songs have a foundation, this is the album to listen to.<br /><br />Otherwise, shut your DMB-bashing mouth hole! Dylan blows!silly_sad_machinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11471969978593905047noreply@blogger.com
