Big Four Bands Thread Round 19: Gothic Rock

Terrapin_Station · 08-18-2016, 03:33 PM

Love John Lee Hooker, although I don't consider him Delta blues so much (same with Howlin' Wolf . . . both would be in my top 10 re blues artists; Howlin' Wolf might be my #1).

Anyway, curious if you checked out any Bukka White. I'm particularly fond of Baton Rouge Mosby Street.

Golden Age Hip Hop will finally give me the motivation to play more hip hop, as I've heard only 40 albums on estimate. Think of the electronic round as a mo0tivator for you to get into whatever genre we decide.

This is what I don't like about your whole process, you go about it like your cramming for a test and then come off like you're some kind of expert. You claim to "grow musically" with the Delta Blues but do you mention Charly Patton? No, you mention someone who plays electric Blues.

Dude... That's My Story is totally delta blues.

All I said was it's a chance to grow musically. I fail to see how I called myself an expert.

Is Nea off his meds or something? He's got two ridiculous arguments going in as many threads that he refuses to drop.

JGuy Grungeman · 08-19-2016, 09:41 AM

I think he's just trying to annoy me. If he said something along the lines of, "an artist more notable for electric blues than delta blues shouldn't be in the big 4 of delta blues," that would be a more sensuble argument.

In that event, my votes been going by favoritism, not necessarily a because of a belief of who's objectively best. As I've said before, people can decide bands for any reason as long as the bands fit the criteria. genre.

Although I do understand, I consider myself one part in a whole for the vote. So even though I listen to as much as I possibly can, I still make a vote due to the lack of votes that occasionally happens. We've only had 5 votes so far. However, I'm going to be very serious about the delta blues today. In 2 and a half hours, the golden age hip hop round will start. So get your votes ready.

I've gotten Frown, Psy-Fi, Grindy, Terrapin, and SweetSmoke. Did I miss anyone?

JGuy Grungeman · 08-19-2016, 10:30 AM

So, are we in agreement with both trip-hop and then stoner rock after golden age hip hop?

JGuy Grungeman · 08-19-2016, 11:40 AM

Last chance for any objections to trip hop and stoner rock.
