QUAD POST COMBO HIT

That "bring it live" thing too, I wonder about that. Public Enemy shout over the top of samples, to this day. And I have never seen a better live show than PE's live show. Sure, they don't play any instruments, but they can pin you to the wall more than most actual made-of-musicians bands. You might say that's cheating, I say it's a cue for live bands to step up their game, if a rap band in their 50s can blow you away.

I think I disagree with the idea that "you leave your morals at the door". In the sense that I don't concede this is a moral issue.

okay so your saying in order to make the best possible recording you can make so the finished product sells you would rather be moraly correct and do something in the recording process that would lessen the finished product?
 
have at it man...lol
 
i think you may be disagreeing just for the sake of disagreeing.unless ofcourse you would like to provide some sort of example where using your morals in a recording over not getting the best sound for your product is wealth,then i have no idea what you are talking about?

John TGrant: Yeah, killer, isn't it? I don't like her records much, and I wish she'd put more of that kind of thing out properly. Paparazzi, Bad Romance and Videophone (not Telephone) with Beyonce are great pop records, though.

 
 
 Yea, a huge surprise. I hear you about the normal style. Truly a brilliant young lady though. Kind of reminds me of this tune that I wasn't into the original electronic version but when it's just her and her pianos, she just steals my heart.
Hey Jupiter  Truly two ladies who talent is undeniable and timeless

Hi Charlie: I'm saying the exact opposite of that. I think whatever makes for a killer record is fine with me.

Yeah, I love that Hey Jupiter song. I quite like Tori Amos on record, though I think as the years have gone by, her live shows have outpaced her records.

I actually think that's true about a lot of big artists these days. My current frustration on this front is Nicki Minaj - completely brilliant on stage, a fantastic singer, and mad as a fish; the records underplay all three of those things and present her as a very bog standard pop act. It's a waste.

 I've only seen her live on youtube and SNL. I'll have to see her if she comes around.

She's amazing, but the LP is rubbish.

I don't know...I find myself listening a lot of times to bands like Magma and Gong...or god forbid...Peter Brotzmann's various groups...or Charles Gayle. 

I'm just a bit weird that way...
