JLCrab Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 So how about this from 1957 original Broadway cast Leonard Bernstein's music to West Side Story: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transam Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 To be honest I can't think of any singer or band where l can say l like all their stuff, perhaps Roy Orbison may be the exception..He has loads of stuff that folk have probably never heard, though l have heard the lot..

bannork Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 And you need rhythm. And we used to have that in abundance. (sorry about the head and crap sound quality, can't find the original) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuckamuck Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 (edited) These three guys (Rush) made more transcendent sound than whole orchestras. As a Canadian I felt they should be in there, and they did produce some good stuff past that 1978 cutoff date. This song always gets my full attention. Edit: Sorry sound isn't good on this live clip though, particularly the vocals. Edited January 3, 2018 by canuckamuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuckamuck Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 (edited) And using Rush as a segue, Here's Neil Peart playing with the Buddy Rich Band. For you guys wondering where the music went, Jazz cats leave it all on the stage. If you just want to watch Neil Peart displaying his awesomeness just skip up to 3:50 Edited January 3, 2018 by canuckamuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mauGR1 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Probably many of you have experienced sitting in a bar, and hearing loud music blasting from 2 or 3 different set of speakers, and finding it extremely annoying... But this is what can happen if B. Eno and D. Byrne are doing a music collage.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jools Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 (edited) It's worth mentioning, that while America invented rock music, the UK PERFECTED it. Rock and roll had gone down the tubes when the Beatles and the Rolling Stones lifted it back up and made it better than it was. I'm a Yank, but the best music always seems to come from Great Britain.

The best example of what you say: Elvis, invented white rock, but after what? 5 songs? degenerated into a old style slimy pre rock singer / moviestar / Las Vegas Elvis imitator. But yes, he laid the foundations of popular real rock / pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Brit stuff was different music...Just moving music on...Nothing failed in my view... In the forties folk were jiving to Glenn Miller stuff....Rock has been around for folk who want to let their hair down for a loooooong time...
