Music Discussion Thread

by **Mardesurria** » Fri Feb 07, 2025 4:50 pm

This is a thread that should have been created ages ago.

Here, we can talk about music (almost exclusively), share interests, et cetera!

Note: as of June 6th, 2025, the ownership of this thread’s been transferred to me. So, yeah. It’s alright, though. Stuff’s pretty much gonna be the same; I’ve only taken ownership because Dengist China offered me so.

This is cool! I play violin and i compose music so I think that qualifies me as a musician probably— i’ve never heard of Les Claypool though.

He's bassist & lead singer for Primus

This song is probably the hardest song of all time on bass.

Oh cool, a music thread! I'm a drummer. I had never heard of that bassist or band before, but I just went and listened to the song you linked. That bass was indeed awesome. The double kick drums went crazy too.

Good to hear! I'm listening to a country queue right now - the longer my playlist grows, the better. It's already 2,793 songs long.

Do you just put all your songs in one playlist?

Pretty much. I've got a favorites playlist, but there's too much out there for that to remain up-to-date.

My computer lags trying to load up my 200-song playlist, I can't even fathom a playlist that long.

I'm studying music in college actually. Glad to see we have a little community here with my other hyperfixation lmao

I play four instruments: Piano (badly) Guitar (decently) Trombone (decently), and I sing (quite well, according to those around me)

I also love composing, enough to where I might compose a national anthem for Droiden someday. Not today though.

As for artists, I don't really listen to artists, per se, more so just good songs. I've recently had the following on a rotation:

Ooh yeah that’s cool. Not what I usually listen to, but interesting.

This guy is also a pretty good bass player.

by **Jabberwocky** » Fri Feb 07, 2025 7:38 pm

I started a similar thread specifically for musicians, but there wasn't enough interest to sustain it.
I think Claypool is a sensational musician.

And count me as a long time musician. Our first gig of the year: Palm Desert, March 1.

Machine Girl

by **Cerespasia** » Fri Feb 07, 2025 7:39 pm

What do y'all think of Kino and their lead singer, Viktor Tsoi?

My favorite song from them since recently is Спокойная ночь. Very vibey, fits my type of vibe espevially.

One of the contenders for my number 2. Bohemian Rhapsody, Gypsy by Uriah Heep, and 21st Century Schizoid Man all fight tooth & nail for it.

4: Dr. Dre
3: Tyler, The Creator
2: Eminem
1: Kendrick Lamar (favorite song from him rn is ELEMENT., but I'm really liking Mr. Morale too.)

We used to have a music thread back on here years and years ago, but it eventually died. I miss it because it was one of my many sources for new music. I'm one of those people who just loves exploring new music, especially if someone's actually doing something interesting with the sound. Not trying to be edgy but most popular music is just trash, and unoriginal. I always make yearly lists now for favorite albums and I got it (mostly) done from 1970-1999 (For now, I'm always finding more stuff to add). Long ways off from being done with 2000-2025, especially since, despite peoples opinions, there's way more options out there for music now than ever before. Like its insane, apparently in 2024 there was more music released in a single day, every day of the year, than all of 1989. If there's some style you like you can find it nowadays.

Eh, people have different tastes. I'd argue most of those are good if you go to the right albums.

Also King Crimson (I see 21st Century Schizoid Man mentioned) is one of my favorite bands. Same with Primus.

Well, unlike nowadays, mainstream & alt stuff was still good.

Nowadays, you have to find ultra-underground stuff which has a 95% chance of being absolute crap.

Eminem & Dr. Dre are good (only their earlier stuff), I didn't see Dre. But apart from that, goddamnit why do you like Kendrick Lamar and his ultratuned garbage?

Because of a little thing called my opinion. I enjoy his music, you don't, and that's fine. We have different taste.

Also, Eminem and Dre's old stuff is their best work, I agree.

My #1 song rn is Jenny by Nothing More

Such a good song.

Like damn.
