BBMB Other Music MVP?

[DroppinScience]

I've actually been dwelling on this for awhile, but are there any frequenters to this sub-forum whose musical opinions you generally hold in a high regard? Such that if a particular member makes a recommendations and it's very likely you'd check out that record and think: "Well, if they like it, it's GOTTA be good."

There's lots of people here who have a generally good taste in music, but my shortlist would definitely have to be yeahwho, a-z and bgrrrlie. They're the types whom I look up to and could very well be the closest things to being musically infallible.

All right, now that my blatant jock-riding is done, it's your turn. Who do you turn to for all your BBMB musical needs?

[The Notorious LOL]

Auton and Mickill maaaybe...overall most of you have dogshit music taste.

[Tzar]

mickill and kid p. for hip hop music.

[cosmo105]

erm...can i say steger?

i almost always trust auton's taste, he's never really steered me wrong and actually makes pretty nice stuff himself.

i like a lot of what drederick likes too, and airesse has bitchin' taste. documad too.

i don't know, i'm sure you've all introduced me to something great somewhere along the line.

[Kid Presentable]

Anybody who posts in this forum is generally valued by me. For one, because I like hearing other people's opinions on music. On the other hand, because I can often find out about something here. But choosing an MVP on the basis of supposed 'tastes'? That's dickriding man. One person's taste is surely anothers wankery.

[Kid Presentable]

mickill and kid p. for hip hop music.
That's flattering, and I appreciate that, cause I've tried to steer you in a number of directions when you've asked. But I'm not even in the same library as half of these dudes. They really know what's going on.

[Documad]

Hey, I was going to say Auton! Now I look like a copycat. He's the first board member I noticed when I was a noob -- people in my real life have never heard of the old stuff I love. I was surprised when he turned out to be a young guy.

There are a shocking number of young adults on this board with good taste in various genres.

[DroppinScience]

That's dickriding man.

Never pretended it was anything else. Just bein' honest.

[zorra_chiflada]

i, me, myself, i have fricken awesome taste in music, but generally the folks on here that i dig, in terms of taste in music are cosmo, mickill, turd, rancid. i'll think of others sooner or later, just let me think.

[b-grrrlie]

Well I've resently noticed that Beck has pretty good taste (or similar to mine, sometimes).
Also DS and a-z have cool taste, and I respect Zorra's and Cosmo's tastes, even tho they clash alot with mine sometime. Sometimes I dont' pay enough attention who posts what, so I can't really tell.... but there's some good ones and some less to my liking...

[Kid Presentable]

I knew I'd be the one to nominate Roosta. I share a lot of his tastes.

[Kid Presentable]

And Funky Hi-Fi.

[ToucanSpam]

I dislike a lot of people's taste in music here on this board, mostly because I'm afraid to try new music and stuff.


I'll say DS is decent, and Heiress because she likes the Trews.

[icy manipulator]

i dont think i've seen anyone on here with a taste of decent electronic dj's. and if anyone says Tiesto is god they can lick my hairy sack

[Kid Presentable]

i dont think i've seen anyone on here with a taste of decent electronic dj's. and if anyone says Tiesto is god they can lick my hairy sack
I think hitmonlee and hellojello might be the only other ones with similar tastes.

[thegoodmrbrodie!]

when he's about, parkey usually has something useful to say.
our representative from kamloops.
mr lol for the rapping.
and et.

[roosta]

I knew I'd be the one to nominate Roosta. I share a lot of his tastes.

yeah, when i looked at this thread and considered answering you came to mind, as did some others.

[Deep_Sea_Rain]

Miho, Beck, Berg...

[DroppinScience]

And Funky Hi-Fi.

Definitely! Forgot about him. If I were to allow one more to my shortlist, I would say Beck, as well.

[yeahwho]

I admit I really suck at music, I'm just a frustrated wannabe relegated to a sideline listener.

Here are in no certain order people who have proven to have better musical taste than I. Even though they all have pissed me off at some point or another with some sort of oneupmanship or bad listening choice.

Mr Films
Funky Hi-Fi
Cosmo
DroppinScience
Documad
Auton
Mickill
DipDipDive
The Notorious LOL
The Padster
steve-onpoint
b-grrrlie
abcdefz
icy manipulator
zorra_chiflada
DJ_Skrilla
TurdBerglar
Bob
Drederick Tatum
hpdrifter
Kid Presentable
skra75
Echewta

*special mention for spanishbomb, who was kinda more right than wrong.

[Lyman Zerga]

tal, paul jones, ds, skra.. well all those who are really into 80s music

[Mr Films]

I essentially purchased Jay-Z's Reasonable Doubt because Auton and Mickill told me too.

But I eventually would have bought it anyways.

[TurdBerglar]

wow


i got mentioned a few times

[Waus]

I'm really surprised I turned up in here! :)


It's so hard to get a real grasp of what someone else likes though without just being around them a lot. I think I'll make up my mind more once I see what people choose for mixes (if we do the trade thing).

I'm sure I'll leave a ton off - but people who I've heard about new stuff from (that I liked):

Droppinscience
a-z
thegoodmrbrodie
Heiress
Cosmo
Deep_Sea_Rain

and I agreed with b-grrrlie about some stuff.

[HEIRESS]

I absolutely love this forum, so good for helping in my debates on what albums to actually bother spendng money on and for finding new shit to go dl

Im surprised I got any mentions because my threads usually get no replies, unless people just go download whatever band or song I make a thread about and then dont bother replying

but I would have to agree that mrbrodie is usually dryhumping many of my new favorite bands either just before I profess my love for them or very soon after

documad, mickill, a-z, and dred are my favorites when it comes to 60-70s knowledge
though steger is the only one I know who has a competing obsession with golden oldies

nothing is more fun than having NLOL shoot down my taste in hip hop <3

me and lara are on the same mo-town/soul love train

Id say cosmo and I have extremely similar tastes when it comes to certain genres that we both enjoy

I dont really sense skra's presence in here all that often, but I do know that every time he changes his myspace profile song I newly melt

I like competing with icy for more replies in the "what song are you listening to" thread

and yes toucan, I do have a weird obsession with seeing the trews live even though I own NONE of their albums

I admire droppins and bgrrrlies musical knowlege but my tastes in music are a wee bit different than their own in general

and then there's ET and he knows where hes at with me when it comes to music so there is no need for me to repeat it here

[The Notorious LOL]

I dont always shoot it down! we both agree that Edan rules.

[HEIRESS]

that mutual love will see us through the days, girl you know its true!

[Documad]

me and lara are on the same mo-town/soul love train
Yes, DDD used to start threads about old songs and I wouldn't think much at the time but within the week I'd find myself digging through my old vinyl for it, and within another week I'd be downloading it for the ipod. I've probably bought 50 old singles from itunes because of the two of you.

[HEIRESS]

sorry, the cheque is in the mail!

[Rancid_Beasties]

i dont think i've seen anyone on here with a taste of decent electronic dj's. and if anyone says Tiesto is god they can lick my hairy sack
I'm into alot of electro-clash and house...digitalism, the knife, milo, tiga, justice, fischerspooner, goldfrapp, cut copy, presets, midnight juggernauts, riot in belgium, the bang gang, tonite only, tocadisco, trentemoller, axwell, freeform five, soulwax etc

That and the 90's is pretty much all i listen to nowadays.

[zorra_chiflada]

ericlee as well, forgot about him. and kid p knows his shit

[DroppinScience]

I admit I really suck at music, I'm just a frustrated wannabe relegated to a sideline listener.


While I appreciate you being modest, I think you're a model BBMB:OM member. It always feels like your opinions on music are probably the most sound. I get the impression that when you like a band, you're sincere in your admiration and you're not basing it off any hype or anything. I'll give an example. Some people can trash Nirvana on this board for either being a horrible band or that they're just a decent band too overhyped because of Cobain's suicide. You have this way of looking beyond all that stuff, listen to the albums and go: "You know what? They really ARE an excellent unit."

Similar sentiments with your love for Bob Dylan (which is partly the reason why I've gotten into Dylan, again).

That's how I see it.

*special mention for spanishbomb, who was kinda more right than wrong.

I'm divided on this notion. While it's great that he was getting into older stuff, his notion of "Anything made past 1989 is bad music" is a ridiculous concept. Nothing happened between Dec. 31, 1989 and Jan. 1, 1990 that made musicians suck. And there's always potential for new groups to blow minds.

Anyways, I've kept in contact with him since he's been banned. He's starting to scrape the bottom of the barrell of pre-89 music. I mean, he's listening to Chicago and the Doobie Brothers now. :(

[Dasuta]

In no particular order - Deep Sea Rain, TOY, Helvate, Zorra, Mark Discordia, Drederick Tatum. I'm sure there are more, but that's all I've got.

[zorra_chiflada]

In no particular order - Deep Sea Rain, TOY, Helvate, Zorra, Mark Discordia, Drederick Tatum. I'm sure there are more, but that's all I've got.

you've given me some good stuff too

[Miho]

In no particular order - Deep Sea Rain, TOY, Helvate, Zorra, Mark Discordia, Drederick Tatum. I'm sure there are more, but that's all I've got.

Dammit, that was me. Somehow, I was logged on as that name.

[zorra_chiflada]

documad as well

[jabumbo]

i kind of like seeing what people have to say aout things, but i usually just go by the general consensus, instead of one person in particular


although b-girrrlie sent me some awesome tracks before (y)

[zorra_chiflada]

droppin, just curious, did you make this thread with the intention of people mentioning you as the MVP? just curious

[DroppinScience]

droppin, just curious, did you make this thread with the intention of people mentioning you as the MVP? just curious

Absolutely not. If anything, I was hoping I would not be mentioned. It's cool a few folks have mentioned me, but I require (and always will require) lots of fine-tuning before my tastes could possibly touch b-grrrlie or a-z, etc.

[zorra_chiflada]

suckhole

[DroppinScience]

suckhole

I take it you were wanting a different answer? :p

[QueenAdrock]

I don't really go out of my way to find new stuff. Not sure why really. I just stopped keeping up with new stuff coming out since that whole "I've got a raspy voice and like to yell a lot" shit came out replacing alternative as I had known it.

I'm getting more into the indie genre, so Droppin' helps me find a lot of stuff he thinks I'll like...but he's able to do so because he knows me pretty well.

I've never been one to see people's music suggestions and try it out to see if I like it because most people's music tastes are very ecclectic. It's different than say, comedy. Most people have one type of humor and stick to that. Which is why whenever NLOL says something is funny, I go and get it. He introduced me to both The State and Mr. Show, so I trust his humor.

Music is much harder to gauge. You can like many different kinds of things, and I've never met someone who's music I like 100%. Closest was maybe 70% and she's my best friend. :p

[icy manipulator]

That and the 90's is pretty much all i listen to nowadays.
to be honest i haven't heard much of that stuff except for Mylo. is it stuff they play on triple j? i prefer alot of dj's like sasha, satoshi tomiie, sander kleinenburg, deep dish etc because they bulid up energy during their sets and really make djing an art form

[monkey]

i dont like one particular person's music over another person's. what i LOVE is that you're all completely willing to share your musical tastes and expose people to your musics. i really appreciate that.

[Gareth]

i'm def more open to some people's opinions more than others.
but really only a few people.

[The Notorious LOL]

i forgot to include Gareth Richard Cricket. My bad.

[b-grrrlie]

although b-girrrlie sent me some awesome tracks before (y)Well I was so proud seeing BRMC on your Top8 on My Space! And Teddybears Sthlm on the most played list! :D

[Guy Incognito]

I have gotten into quite a bit of stuff from recommendations from this board, I wouldnt single out anyone really as its more the fact that collectively you have managed to make some bands,artists really interesting and I have grown curious. I didnt know anythin about Doom, Edan or much about the Wu Tang Clan. Although not really one individual was responsible, Ally Al deserves a mench for supplying some stuff.
A-Z gets a shout for being dead knowledgable on a wide range and he's dead enthusiastic about it all too. How anyone can get that excited about the coral is beyond me but he has opened my ears to Can.

[Guy Incognito]

You should really add Rex The Dog to that list if you havent already.
Also, check out the digitalism remix of "Nothing but Green Lights" by Tom Vek.
Can you recommend somethin by riot in belgium , I have never heard of them but like the name

[ericlee]

ericlee as well, forgot about him. and kid p knows his shit

cool, I got a shout out from one of my favorite people.

I know alot about metal-alt metal (if you may).

One thing that sucks is while I was away playing GI joe, I've lost track on alot of bands and such and having only a Virgin record store that puts black marker on some of the c.d's because of too much skin, I've really missed out for a while.

I mainly check this section from time to time for recommendations on hip hop and Kid P and Mickill are probably the people who's given alot of good reviews-insight in that department.

[ET]

and then there's ET and he knows where hes at with me when it comes to music so there is no need for me to repeat it here

Word.

I don't reply to everyone's threads either because I forget to after I hit up soulseek. That's kind of the only reason I still make threads in this part of the forum. I can't make a list since it'll be too big. If you post in here then keep it up, please.

[Kid Presentable]

Ally Al has not only recommended, but actually hooked me up with so much good shit that he needs his own thread.

[HEIRESS]

I always give your threads a sympathy post if nothing else
OOOOOOOOHhhhhhhhhhh
:o

[DipDipDive]

Airesse. Mike. LOL.

Hahahaha i spelt it milo lol *slaps forehead*

Yeah sasha and the others you mentioned are good djs, but i'm referring to the music played by these djs.

And guy, love that digitalism remix of tom vek! Rex the dog is alright, i dont minds his heartbeats remix.

As for riot in belgium theres 2 songs you must hear: The Acid never lies and La musique. The acid never lies was a massive hit about a year ago, you should be able to get it off limewire. La musique just came out, you can listen to it here (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=52729443) (it goes nuts from about the 3 minute point onwards)

[adam_f]

g-mile, auton and mickill for the most part.

[g-mile7]

g-mile, auton and mickill for the most part.
Thanx man you and the two above (minus me) are really good, espically Auton...Wu-Tang (mainly my new top 5 fav rapper Ghost), Little Brother, Roxy Music, The Doors...he has introduced me too...and the music he produces is borderline genuis (although I did help him with Jay-Z, Prince, TI and course 2pac...Auton loves All Eyez On Me hahaha<Thanx Ed these people have little clue bout U!

Honorable mention: LoL, Droppin and more

[Kid Presentable]

You guys all know it's mickill anyway.

[zorra_chiflada]

i'm like, mickill in the making. he's what, 64 years old now? no wonder he knows everything ever

[Otis Driftwood]

I frequently check out the books mentioned by others on the boards, but music, nah. I'm very opinionated against a lot of music! (n)

Nice one - will give them a listen.

For Rex The Dog -seriously give "We Live In Daddy's car" a go - (I got it off limewire) its top
