Logan D. Hurricanes Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Re: The Last Word Apparently, you do. Though I got the 10,000th post. I saw that. I won't say I wasn't a little disappointed. I like round numbers. Oh well... At least 10,001 is palindromic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliceTheOwl Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Re: The Last Word I'm not sure whether I like round numbers or palindromes better. But I still remember "The Palindrome Tango" from Square One. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Re: The Last Word For instance, there is a cut by Triumvirat titled "E Minor 5/9 Minor 5" from their Mediterranean Tales disk that she finds so dissonant as to be unlistenable. There's other stuff by Synergy to which she has a similar reaction. She tends to like singer/songwriter types, while I have a deep interest in old mid-1970's bombastic rock, with "wall-of-sound" type of production and complex harmonics with powerful bass content. I can listen to singer-songwriters, but many of them strike me as superficial whiny types lacking in breadth of harmony and instrumentation.

Yeah, dissonance isn't, generally, a quality I go for in music. And I don't even know what piece you're talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Re: The Last Word What are your favourite bands / albums? Lessee ... stuff I like a lot that no one else (seemingly) has ever heard of ... "Spartacus" by Triumvirat "Open Fire" by Ronnie Montrose "GO" self-titled (this was a short-lived "supergroup" back in the mid-70s; you tend to find it under the name of its drummer, Stomu Yamash'ta, even though everyone else is better known than him) "Breathless" by Camel "Sequencer" and "Cords" by Synergy (not really in same genre as the above) "Turn of the Cards" by Renaissance (again, not the same genre) Stuff I like that people have heard of.... Boston (which I admit has been overplayed) Early Deep Purple ... e.g. "Machine Head", "Fireball", ... Much of Pink Floyd's better-known works, "Wish You Were Here" probably I like most Asia, perhaps, was the last dying gasp from that era/genre.
