Hmmm, I would have to roll "12 Inches of Snow" by Snow from the early nineties in there too.

Not a big reggae. I can never understand a word they are saying. But the beats can be cool sometime.
The only thing close to reggae that I like was the version of "Jane says" By janes addiction. It was the version that they used those steel drums.

Yep. Even the music I regard as crappy. Still deserves to be paid for if I want it in my possession.

Grol, I don't mean really bad SUBJECTIVELY speaking. I'm talking about the OBJECTIVE recording quality. Taste aside, it's incompetently recorded and mixed. Major labels may not put out music that agrees with your TASTE, but you cannot argue against the recording QUALITY.
Take "Living La Vida Loca" by Ricky Martin. Now, say all you want about the song, the singing, the artistic CHOICES. You can laud or citicise it until the cows come hope. However, as a recording, it was groundbreaking, in that it was one of the first (if not the first) major hit to be recorded and mixed entirely on PROTOOLS. The quality of the recording and mixing was phenomenal, and paved the way for increased acceptance of hard disk recording, as opposed to tape. Major labels, because they have money, are consistently able to hire the best engineers, and the best studios, the best mics, the best tape machines, and now the baddest ass computers, to record sound at the highest quality. This guy is a rank amateur. Good luck to him. I wish him all the best, but what is it doing on iTunes? There are much better quality products that can't get a look in because the major labels allegedly had it sewn up. Then out of the blue there's the home recording from a Hawaiian stoner? Speculation about the stoner of course. -------- Of course I could have saved my time and just replied: LOL! Grol! [img]tongue.gif[/img] |

Fair enough, Yorick. [img]smile.gif[/img] Though sometimes major label acts may use the creme de la creme of available techniques, but still (deliberately?) sound like crap. Metallica's St. Anger comes to mind...
