Music Shames
Merkwürdigliebe:
I have these things I call "Shames": songs/bands I haven't heard that "everyone should have heard", movies that "everyone should see", and books "everyone should read". In short, basically a list of "classics/greats" that I haven't actually gotten too yet. I blame the music "Shames" on not listening to the radio; the book shames on a lack of money and the presence of a shitty public library; and the movie shames on a lack of money.
Anyway, I wanted to hear people's music shames. Now, I'm expecting to hear a lot of Indie stuff I guess--maybe you guys are so into music that it would be like "well, I haven't heard the unreleased bootleg demo track by Beck, which was the first thing he ever did" or whatever. If that's true, then you guys really have no music shames unless you hang out with elitists or something. ^_^
Anyway, here are some of mine:
1. Up until the Sunday before last, I had never heard "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction."
2. Counting that song, I have heard probably 2 or 3 songs by the Rolling Stones
3. I have never heard anything by The Who (except "My Generation")
4. I have heard maybe 4 songs by the Eagles--until about a week ago, I had heard zero.
5. Never heard anything by U2.
6. Never heard anything by Bob Dylan except covers of two of his songs
There are way more, but I'm too tired to think of them now.
What are some of yours (if any?)
Joseph:
You're doing pretty well on the U2 and Eagles front. My advice is to stick with that.
tommydski:
In terms of not hearing U2 or the Eagles, that is nothing to be ashamed about.
That would be something to be enormously grateful for.
Joseph:
Slow to the post Tommy. You must be getting old.
onewheelwizzard:
I have yet to actually delve into the artistic output of the following bands that I know I will almost certainly enjoy once I do ...
Modest Mouse
Iron Maiden
Radiohead
Skyclad
St. Vitus
MF Doom
Neurosis
Melvins
Dinosaur Jr.
I'll think of more later.
