well yes led zeppelin is on my iTunes and I listen to them but mostly it's
- Genesis + Peter Gabriel
- Beatles + Beach Boys (later years)
- Gorillaz + Muse
- DMB + Dave Matthews/Tim Reynolds live
- David Bowie
- Eric Clapton
- Ian Ethan Case (indie guy)
- James Taylor + Carole King
- Pat Metheny and anyone he's worked with (jazz)
- Richard Thompson
- Tommy Emmanuel
- etc.
I think I proved my point I'm gonna stop there
oh and there's some video game soundtracks on there too
and to add most of the people on that list I started to listen to on my own, regardless of whether my dad liked them or not
Oh yes. A brilliant list of musical greats.
The Beatles "Love Me Do"
[Chorus]
Love, love me do
You know I love you
I'll always be true
So please, love me do
Whoa, love me do
[Bridge]
Someone to love
Somebody new
Someone to love
Someone like you
[Chorus]
Love, love me do
You know I love you
I'll always be true
So please, love me do
Whoa, love me do
Yeah, love me do
Whoa, oh, love me do
Whoa, oh love me do
Why don't you love me do
Clearly lyrical geniuses. Much superior to le hipstuff cRapping of today, right? Lets compare to a song by Kendrick Lamar.
Kendrick Lamar, "The Blacker The Berry"
Verse 3
I'm the biggest hypocrite of 2015
When I finish this if you listenin' then sure you will agree
This plot is bigger than me, it's generational hatred
It's genocism, it's grimy, little justification
I'm African-American, I'm African
I'm black as the heart of a forgetin' Aryan
I'm black as the name of Tyrone and Darius
Excuse my French but forget you — no, forget y'all
That's as blunt as it gets, I know you hate me, don't you?
You hate my people, I can tell cause it's threats when I see you
I can tell cause your ways deceitful
Know I can tell because you're in love with that Desert Eagle
Thinkin' maliciously, he get a chain then you gone bleed him
It's funny how Zulu and Xhosa might go to war
Two tribal armies that want to build and destroy
Remind me of these Compton Crip gangs that live next door
Beefin' with Pirus, only death settle the score
So don't matter how much I say I like to preach with the Panthers
Or tell Georgia State "Marcus Garvey got all the answers"
Or try to celebrate February like it's my B-Day
Or eat watermelon, chicken, and Kool-Aid on weekdays
Or jump high enough to get Michael Jordan endorsements
Or watch BET cause urban support is important
So why did I weep when Trayvon Martin was in the street when gang banging make me kill a brother blacker than me?
Hypocrite!
These two rappers just talk about loving bitches, getting money, and killing other black people. No trace of addressing social issues like those to lyrically complex songs by the Beatles and Queen.
