Music's Not-So-Classics

[Just an Afterthought]

I can't get over the fact that anything from the Guitar Hero games or Rock Band, instantly become popular. I understand some people may have liked them before, but when they say "I heard it from Guitar Hero II!" I just want to punch them in the face.

I never really got Floyd, but I never did drugs so there you go. Nirvana also comes to mind, The Pixies were way better.

Well you don't really have to be high to enjoy Pink Floyd...

...but it helps.

What about certain band you just never happened upon before you played them though? I think those games are good for exposure.

Yes i am a pink floyd fan, and they have alot of differnet sounds, they sound alot like the beatles in thier eairly stuff, then started to become more "stoner" later on...

I think this is the first time I've heard someone say that. Piper was a way trippier album than anything else they ever did.

Oh trippy and stoner are 2 differnt things in my view tis all...stoner is alot more laid back "im so high on weed" sort of thing(wall and final cut sorta thing), where piper is like "im so messed up on acid" like later beatles. Ok enough of the drug refrences... btw you should put on some floyd when playing space sims, they go hand in hand

Oh i think 2pac was better off dead? does that count. (music wise that is...cause i just didnt like it)
....

EEEeeeaaasssssy there, buddy. Pac was the man, and still is. But I suppose you'd have to be a Hip Hop fan to get that.

yeah im not a fan of hiphop, but like alot of things, his death seemed to have such a hype around it and you dare not speak ill of him to the fans of hiphop...which is what this topic was about
I dont get hiphop, but also my case and point being, i would bet a large sum of money that if he didnt die, he would never have ended up being the hiphop artists that has sold the most cds ever...

Well, he was a top-rated, magazine cover, critically acclaimed artist when he was alive, so I don't think his death really factors into his base popularity, though it probably helped get him attention to those born after his death or shortly before (such as myself, who was like, six, when he died). I knew Tupac had died before I started listening to him, but that's really common knowledge for most people, so I dunno. Maybe, but I wouldn't say him being dead is what made him popular. He's a great MC, dead or not, and the same can't be said about others (I'm looking at you Big Pun).

Well you don't really have to be high to enjoy Pink Floyd life...

Fixed.

And yeah, claiming you need drugs to enjoy acid rock is just plain silly.

... people who play half-assed covers of video game music are overrated. Yeah, I think it's a cool idea too. Doesn't automatically make the music good, though.

Well you don't really have to be high to enjoy Pink Floyd, maybe you just don't like them period.

Never done any drug, but I manage to be a huge fan of Pink Floyd. At first I wasn't all that impressed, but DSOTM has become my favorite album, and The Wall isn't very far behind.
