Well I won't argue with bands like The Stones and The Who. But Sabbath? Maybe if Ozzy, wasn't in the mix I'd think so.Something about the guy's voice that has never impressed me.

I still listen to it regularly. Great album - still The Strokes best effort to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlslash Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 The only band ahead of it's time was The Beatles and Pink Floyd.Come again?Yeah, Im a bit befuddled by that statement. I think you forgot:Black SabbathThe WhoThe Rolling StonesLed ZeppelinCreamChuck BerryAnd many more...I hate to get into these types of arguments, but most of those bands mentioned I wouldn't exactly call "ahead" of their time...perhaps only Chuck Berry because he was playing piano licks in piano friendly keys with a guitar - but even so...it was all 12 baralong with 90% of the material by the bands mentioned...ahead of their time? no i daresay they were actually nostalgic to the point of emulation for their favorite blues junky. Pink Floyd maybe you could make a case for during their existential classic years (67-79) with syd and roger leading the band - but in retrospect they were just doing what everyone else was doing just a whole hellovalot better - acid experimentation was already done in the late fifties and early sixties just had yet to have been applied to mainstream music.The Who - invented mod. Wrote the first (and greatest) rock opera. Brought the synthesizer into mainstream rock more than any of their contemporaries.Black Sabbath - Essentially created metal. To call songs like War Pigs and Fairies Wear Boots 12 bar replications is just wrongLed Zeppelin - Like Sabbath, but moreso - better vocals, better musicianship, better production quality. Made heavy rock mainstream.The Rolling Stones - One-upped Elvis. Brought lyrics like "Brown sugar, you know you taste so good. Brown sugar, just like a young girl should" to singles radio.Cream - Brought the blues of Robert Johnson to the psychidelia of Jimi Hendrix and the volume of The Who"Reproductions?" Only in the sense that they were finding new combinations. Find me one band that predates any of those who sounds precisely like them, and you've got me. Until then, I stand by every one of them.

The bands you named were not "ahead" of their time - implying that they were outcast from mainstream society than later looked upon as heralding in a new age of music (aka ornette coleman, john coltrane, dylan to a degree, miles davis). The bands you mention no doubt "progressed" the sound of what came to be known as heavy rock music but saying that they were "ahead" of their time in conventional terms is ridiculous. Every one of the bands at least topped the billboard top 100 of their respective years (except sabbath) and therefore became part of their respective "time" progressing music.

Great album. I don't know if I like that one or Orphans more. But, Orphans should be on the list also lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeppelin Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I also think that My Morning Jacket deserves to have a couple albums mentioned. Particularly 'Z'. Very Neil Young-ish type of music at times, but great stuff nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being ahead of one's time is mostly just doing something that hadn't been done before. All of the bands I listed did that. They did it well, and were recognized for it - saying that they topped the charts negates the fact that they were some of the most progressive bands in rock history is just ignorant. I never said they were anywhere near as great as Coltrane, Dylan, Davis, Coleman (you also forgot Benny Goodman, who was more ahead of his time than anyone you listed), but they were still ahead of their time.

Leigh-Rok! Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Weezer - Maladroit (2002)its their heavy metal albumI bought this album because you mentioned it. I've always liked Weezer, ever since 'Buddy Holly', but never bought an album because although their songs are fun and catchy, they seemed a little too 'Indie pop'. I'm 4 songs into Maladroid in my car, and I must say I'm impressed. Thanks dude! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
