	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

quote: Originally posted by Imran Siddiqui What do you mean there is no single 'pop' genre? What do the Billboard Pop Charts mean then? It may not make up a majority, but it is beating classical. Hmmm, I think that Hip-Hop and Country probably beat out Classical in the US market (at least). Techno and Dance probably beat out classical in Europe as well. Classical may have longevity... but Elvis and the Beatles will be known in 400 years too.

Hip-hop and country are very different genres of music, see?

They may outsell classical, but neither has a "majority" stake in music sales. There is no majority in this regard.

And Elvis and the Beatles prove my point...so few of the 'pop' stars will be remembered. And frankly--I don't think Elvis will be remembered much beyond the death of his last contemporary fan. He isn't really making new adherents like the Beatles are!

I never said there was. But you claimed that classical ISN'T minority.

Ya kidding me? Elvis is still The King, no matter how many of his fans die. He will never die .

I loathe Elvis. I the Beatles. That is the general sentiment of my generation.

Precisely. Elvis will be forgotten in another 30-40 years, just like nobody but old coots remembers Glenn Miller.

That is the silliest thing I've ever heard .

It's like people that said Louis Armstrong would be forgotten 30-40 years from now.

By the 'younger generation' a few decades ago. You know, just as the younger generation today claims Elvis will be forgotten.

To say Elvis is going to be forgotten is utterly and totally silly. The King ain't going anyway in America's consciousness.

An oldie but goodie is System of a Down's Prison Song. If you are in a mood for something more cheerful, try Me First and the Gimme Gimme's cover of I'm Walking on Sunshine.

I still recommand anybody to listen to Seeed (yes, there are 3 'e'), especially songs like Dickes B or Tide is High.
Ragga in German is something you WANT to listen to

i hate to admit this, but i like german ragga

i found a great track on the new white label euphoria album (which to be honest isn't that great overall, zykla would love it though). revelation - just be dub to me

other tracks i've been listening to:

saffron hill - my love is always...
oakenfold feat. carla werner - southern sun
safri duo vs madision avenue - everything you need (i don't know how this track is actually credited)

I love Glenn Miller!!! I've gotten a bunch of my friends to like him too! He will never die!

But your point is valid, once a certain genre of music fades away even the BEST bands/musicians/'artists' fade away with it.

It wouldn't surprise me if in 40 years people will be asking me "elvis who?"

Thats because every generation can up to the beatles music. There's nothing much Elvis has that goes for evry generation to relate to.

For all you dance fans, madonna's new album has tracks on mtv.com, and I'm listening to them right now. Not bad, so far, but not quite as revolutionary as her previous work.

May I advertise some instrumental guitar rock I recorded with a buddy? He wrote the music and played guitar and bass. I was drummer, programmer and producer.

The guy is a real guitar genius who just graduated from Berklee in Boston.

	Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

Apparently so! Still I did that a minute ago, I'll just mention CDs intead this time.

Bought during the last month or so (holiday in Sweden) with star ratings and comments:

Cool James - The African Milennium *** (occasionally brilliant african hip-hop, a bit too world-musicy sometimes and not very consistent)

Bill Withers - Lovely Day: The Best Of... *** (great singer, too much late-70s fluff. I need that live album.)

Pugh Rogerfeldt - "Ja Dä Ä Dä" ** (Swedish rare-groove psych classic, not really my kind of thing)

Imperiet - Imperiet ** (the record classic swedish band imperiet recorded in English... embarassing lyrics, crap 1986 production, but still classic songs)

Various - Kvart-i-Två-Dansen **** (brilliant collection if astoundingly, embarassingly bad 70s swedish pop- so bad it's good, etc)

Bruce Springsteen - Nebraska ***** (truly awesome, best album of the eighties I think)

Various - Who Will Buy (These Wonderful Evils) *** (good compilation of undergroundish swedish music with a bonus CD of swedish 60s material, quite enjoyable)

Various - Soca Gold 2000 *** (nice to see how quickly this genre is evolving, the 2002 one I've got at home is well different, but both are good)

Various - D'Soca Zone 3rd Wave *** (the most recent VP Soca comp, a fall release with more undergroundy material- well worth the purchase)

Angie Stone - Mahogany Soul *** (It's not struck me yet, but sounds quite nice, I just bought this yesterday)
