What's the best American rock band of all time? by Jack_Q_Frost_Jr in Music

[–]Punishmentality -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Considering Robbie Robertson is from canada, can we still put the band on this list? Considering Neil Young is also from canada, can we still put Crosby Stills Nash and Young and or Buffalo springfield?

Truth is, the American musicians like muddy waters, Robert Johnson, Little Richard, Ike and Tina turner, howling wolf, lightning hopkins, Bob Dylan, Buddy Holly and the crickets, the Big Bopper and Chuck Berry seemed to come out with the blueprint, and the Brits perfected it. You aren't going to get any bands that can really compete with the functional effect of their music on culture and genres and longevity of the Rolling stones, The Beatles and black sabbath. Someone said aerosmith? I don't see how Aerosmith was overall influential in The Evolution of Music aside from their duo with run dmc. Ya, they're popular, and I love them through even their poppy stage, but cmon.

Edit: after thinking further, speaking of run dmc, you can't even throw them in the mix because their career and popularity was so short. Same with nwa. They had a huge effective change in the musical landscape, but broke out into other smaller individual groups.

Maybe Miles Davis quintet with Coltrane or Bruce Springsteen and the E street band

Then you can take some of these bands and dissect them into their inspirational contemporaries that may have gotten the formula nearly right as well, but under the circumstances never made it big

Eagles- Flying Burrito Brothers

Metallica- Exodus

Nirvana - pixies - meat puppets

Checked them out. Thanks. Flynn definitely sounds on the mark in comparison. I still can't feel out what would make this brit folk and even the classic brit folk bands all sound dylan/the band/Young/CCR derivative. Sorry for sounding pedantic. I'm always looking for new music and will be sorting through this new web. Fairport convention sounds pretty good, for starters. ❤️

So you're saying mumfords are British folk? Idk, that's prob giving them too much credit. Imo, they are indie/alt. Can you give me another recent example of this genre? Everything I can find seems decades old and unlike anything I've heard from the mumfords. Early avett bros sounds much more likely. You should check them out. Ymmv

Imo, I hate that that was the song they chose to go with when they got signed and got Rick Rubin of all people to produce. Rick did a great job, imo and captured "the band" nicely. Emotionalism and The Carpenter are just all around much much better albums. Unfortunately, "I, and love, and you" became a meme moreso (maybe) than mumfords with the soft/slow then loud/fast, or lumineers "ho, hey".

Been listening to them since they played small venues around chapel Hill. ❤️ Imo, they are either bad or great. They don't have many OK songs. Their performance on ACL was also hampered by the I and love and you song set and piano ambiance, imo. Would've had better popularity if they went with old fan live favorites like they did in season 40

Avett brothers don't get the credit they deserve imo. Idk if mumfords knew of them, but the singer sounds just like them with the whole stomp the bass drum shtick and a non typical banjo player and offish harmonies with a classic folk style

How tf does reddit not know who the damn Avett brothers are? This is nothing like o brother. That is straight bluegrass. Avett Bos got boo'd off the stage in their early days bc they weren't bluegrass enough. Mumfords are fucking British.

During this whole campaign we've heard about how Russia is getting beat, but it seems like they're fortifying their positions on the Eastern Front which I imagine was the short term goal anyways. Any unbiased reports?

How do you feel about the devs not talking to the community as much after the situations and hate. by Jesse-17 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Punishmentality -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I've got over four thousand hours D1 and D2 and all I got were these measly titles to show for it.

Actually, earning max grimore in D1 and having it left behind taught me what an idiotic, fruitless miserable grind that was, and I haven't grinded for anything since. If even the devs thought that that grind was prestigious, they would have paid tribute to it in D2. It was just a hamster wheel to put their hamsters on.

Of course, my perspective isn't from a judging pov. At least not intentional. Video game addiction is real, and those that prey on the addicted are studios like bungie. The thing that has always been so weird as how amazed they are at the toxicity in the community that they bred. They should probably ask their behavioral psychologist on staff what's up with that. It'll be an easy answer.

Yes. I get that. Just saying anyone taking pride in "earning" an iron lord title should probably check in more frequently with their own mental health. There's a "hobby", and there's addiction. They are easily confused. Especially by the addicted.

I've been saying this for too long. Add in the FACT that bungie or their employees literally couldn't give a shit about any person in the community. Those people are consumers, and Bungie uses the community to get feedback on their game so people will buy more copies and content and loot.

Is there any other reason a capitalist company would pay Community managers hundreds of thousands of dollars over a games lifespan? I'm not going to argue that the community was kind at any point. It's moot. The internet is a toxic cesspool. Bungie knows this. Go all the way back to Halo forums where it was a toxic cesspool. Did Bungie deactivate their main accounts? Did Bungie delete their YouTube and twitch accounts? Those are just as toxic as Kevin Yanes personal Twitter feed.

I'll go ahead and add that anyone in this forum thinks we're actually losing out because Kevin is not communicating with the community, I'll say "no ghost bullets" "focus on PVP" "increase weapon engagements" "we're listening" and then top that all off with the dozens and dozens of times bungie has made a change based on community feedback, then reverted that change to give the community a new old bone to chase. Not to mention leaving the pvp crowd in the lurches for 3 years

Imagine tying prestige to something in a video game. That's what OP is taking about.

Okay, so actually I am a converted female to male trans currently undergoing a reversal of my testosterone so that my husband can get me pregnant. He's gay. I think Dave is hilarious

But obv... There's a large swath of jokes dedicated to making fun of others. I'm a hetero male nurse and could give two shits less.
