Fok! Muziek Trivia deel CCCXXVI

quote:

" " is one of all-time classics, a song that magnificently combined rock, soul, pop, jazz, and gospel. And, in a too-unusual instance of such effortless musical brilliance..." " grabs your attention from the very first bars, with their rushed clipped beats and foreboding descending horns. The gospel element of the song is especially prevalent in the call-response banter between and a phalanx of female backup singers.

Joe Cocker - With a little help from my friends?

quote:

was the musician most responsible for developing soul music. Singers like and also did a great deal to pioneer the form, but did even more to devise a new form of black pop by merging '50s R&B with gospel-powered vocals, adding plenty of flavor from contemporary jazz, blues, and (in the '60s) country. Then there was his singing; his style was among the most emotional and easily identifiable of any 20th-century performer......He was also a superb keyboard player, arranger, and bandleader.

Hit The Road Jack

For this song, , you should only drop dead. Actually, that would be too easy. Now that you have unleashed this abomination on the world, the onus is on you to somehow stop it. I don’t care what you do. Buy up all the copies you can find and destroy them. Spout racist doctrine in television interviews until you’re boycotted. Build a time machine and unwrite the song. Just stop the song somehow. It’s been more than six months since the single was released, and yet I still hear that cloying riff ooze out of my radio twenty times a week, and I’m murderously sick of it. I’d imagine that it’s even worse for you, guy, because you probably have to sing the piece of shit on stage five nights a week in front of lovesick teenage girls who somehow haven’t noticed that your eyes are an inch and a half too far apart. In fact, I’m willing to bet that you’re terrified of the song. You know it’s terrible. You came up with the lyrics in your head in the shower and almost didn’t bother writing them down. You feel like it was too easy. You’re paranoid and guilty, like you’ve pulled the wool over the public’s eyes and sooner or later they’re going to rise up against you and say “hey, not only is this song as irritating like a flea in my eyeball, but the lyrics barely even make sense!” I hope this song eats you up inside, guy. I never want to hear your stupid song again, I never want to see your stupid face again, and most of all I never want to read your stupid name again.

is a left-field classic, a record that came out of nowhere to help establish a new subgenre of rock & roll. had already sketched out their sound, as well as their amateurish lo-fi aesthetic, on a series of indie singles before recording their debut, but is where they pulled all of their disparate sounds together into a distinctive style.

Het ging om Hoobastank - The Reason

quote:

At first, the primitive sound of the record is the most gripping thing about , but soon the true innovations of the record appear through the songs themselves. and subvert conventional pop structures, turning melodies inside out, reinterpreting and reworking older songs, and bending genres together
