The Music Thread

[jucklesjenk]

I don't get metal. Just everything about it seems un-musical to me. I've seen the tabs to a lot of metal stuff and it's basically something easy played very very fast, and the lyrics are meaningless.
I'm probably sounding incredibly stubborn and closed-minded and metal lovers are going to hate me, but I see no music in metal at all.

I especially like music where the lyrics are incredibly powerful and deep. I'm talking Paul Weller, The Beatles, Paul Simon etc.

I've also listened to a couple of new Green Day songs recently as I've had to transcribe them for some of my pupils. I'm starting to appreciate how good a band they are - they've been around for about 20 years now, so they must be doing something right.

I've only ever really listened to American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown, but recently I got Dookie and International Superhits and I realise how good they've been for a long time. I have to say that if I had to pick Green Day's best song, though, for me it'd be Holiday. Class!
