kimmy Posted September 6, 2009 Report Posted September 6, 2009 Music just becomes history like everything else. Some music doesn't just become history, it transcends it. Everybody knows .. uh, Greensleeves, for instance. Nope....it is a "standard"....you will die long before that song ever will. It will survive in the sense that it will still exist in recorded format that someone could still listen to in a hundred or a thousand years, if they chose to. It is dead in the sense that nobody will chose to. It has no relevance to anyone who wasn't around to hear it back in "the good old days". -k Quote (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Friendly forum facilitator! ┬──┬◡ﾉ(° -°ﾉ)
bush_cheney2004 Posted September 6, 2009 Report Posted September 6, 2009 (edited) It will survive in the sense that it will still exist in recorded format that someone could still listen to in a hundred or a thousand years, if they chose to. And they will choose to, in several ways. Other members have demonstrated that period films will continue to include such standards in soundtracks. (My old man is long dead but his music lives on in films and eBay!). It is dead in the sense that nobody will chose to. It has no relevance to anyone who wasn't around to hear it back in "the good old days". I disagree.....it is a "standard" (I assume you know what that means). It is on Sirius/XM satellite radio playlists in several formats. It is featured in Time Life CD anthology infomercials. It is bought and sold on eBay by collectors. It is shipped with Karaoke products / systems. It is in the US Smithsonian (Sam DeVincent Collection of Illustrated American Sheet Music); the song is still sold as sheet music to this day in many nations.

I have no idea what the hell they're saying! Have ever seen any of the videos out there that the singers make? Some of the female singers, you can't tell if the video is about their singing or if they are making a XXX movie. Is it about the sex or is it about their singing. Quote

kimmy Posted September 10, 2009 Report Posted September 10, 2009 My wife thinks the exact same thing.Ever see the South Park where they think a goat is Stevie Nicks? I honestly can't make out anything she says other than "ooo-oooh", "aaa-aaah", "yea-aahh," and "bayybeee".Although, I saw a Fleetwood Mac reunion concert a few years ago, and Christine McVie (who I consider by far the more talented of the two women) just sounded terrible, her voice was completely gone, while Stevie Nicks still sounded as "good" as ever. On a similar note I recall an interview with Johnny Cash in the final years of his life where he was asked how his voice was, and he replied (with self-deprecating humour ) "about as good as ever." -k Quote (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Friendly forum facilitator! ┬──┬◡ﾉ(° -°ﾉ)

Wild Bill Posted September 11, 2009 Report Posted September 11, 2009 Yeah, but maybe not as wealthy. Kimmy has me pegged! And I agree they became more wealthy. I liked them when they started out with Peter Green. They were a fantastic blues band! When "the chicks showed up" I liked some of the songs but not the entire albums. I liked "Rhiannon" far more than "Don't Stop" or "Go Your Own Way", but that's just me!

I liked "Rhiannon" far more than "Don't Stop" or "Go Your Own Way", but that's just me! "Rhiannon" makes me want to jab sticks into my eardrums. "Don't Stop" and "Go Your Own Way" are catchy pop-songs. I much prefer "Tusk" or "The Chain" to either of them... "Green Manalishi" is the only Peter Green era Fleetwood Mac with which I am familiar, and I'd thought it was a Judas Priest song. While doing some research to find out what a "Manalishi" is, I read about Peter Green and the story behind the song. When I heard the Fleetwood Mac version, I thought it was entrancing, haunting, amazing. -k {same day, I found out that isn't a Judas Priest song either.} Quote (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Friendly forum facilitator! ┬──┬◡ﾉ(° -°ﾉ)
