Musicological banter

Does anybody listen to their old Public Enemy cd's/lp's/cassettes? Talk about a band whose music did not age well.

In general, I've found that rap doesn't' age all too well.

I don't know...
I can listen to: Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, Run-DMC and Tribe Called Quest any day of the week

PE...well some of it has aged poorly, but "Public Enemy No. 1" never gets old to me

I still listen to PE's 80's and early 90's stuff. I give up after "Muse Sick N Hour Mess Age" which only had one good song. Flavor Flav has been a big joke for a long ass time now. I saw them at Rock The Bells 2007 and Flav ruined the show. He kept plugging TV shows and forgot the name of some of his band members. There are a few exceptions to rap not aging well. To me, A Tribe Called Quest's classic albums still sound fresh. Much of OutKast's stuff too.

ryan adams...at the club please

really don't want to see him at the DAR or Strathmore, but understand if you can't

I would hazard a guess that the Lincoln Theatre is the likelier option actually Mr Sidehatch...

Mr. Sidehatch, do you continue to listen to his new albums.. is his last one really good? or is he a legacy act now (Rolling Stones) and it doesn't matter anymore?

Last time I saw Ryan he was at the Patriot Center actually..opening for Oasis.. pretty good..

Loved ashes & fire.
He just released a new song to come out 7/1...Gimme Something Good (7" vinyl---only)

just glad to that his Meniere's disease didn't totally take him out of making/performing music forever

Ryan Adams hasn't released anything worthwhile since the demise of Whiskeytown.

I think Heartbreaker and Gold are darn near perfect, IMO.

[shemptiness]

The 30 year anniversary of Purple Rain??  Damn.  Where has the time gone?

[James Ford]

For me, Heartbreaker (though it initially had some appeal) just doesn't stand up as anything I'd listen to in 2014. And I hated Gold from the beginning.

The early Whiskeytown stuff (Faithless Street, Stanger's Almanac) I listen to on rare occasion for vintage sake.

This thread just inspired me to listen to Rock N Roll (however, I don't think I've heard one tune off that album since 2003 or so) on a quick three mile run at lunch.

I guess I could say I like up to Cold Roses... after that, a bunch of quantity over quality.

counterpoint: aquemini, reachin', blowout comb, the chronic, ready to die (to name a few) all aged beautifully.

the truth, but ashes and fire is still really strong.

That cold roses tour was awesome, one of my favorite shows.  Had front row seats in a Berkley auditorium and it was just the naz.

You were probably in diapers when those albums came out.

PE is ok in small doses.

I still listen to Tribe regularly. I thought De La's stuff sounded good after listening to the catalog they kindly gave away.  Wu Tang hasn't aged well, imo.

Jurassic 5 was old school style from the get go and I still listen to them regularly,  too.
