Musical Niches

I thought I'd start this thread to allow people to post links to true musical pioneers and legendary songs

Here's mine to start!

Revolutionary for 1974.

Jean-Michel Jarre. The influence of his music and his "pathfinding" for synthesizers in generall for practically all other kinds (and many major performers) of pop music that came after him is hard to be overestimated. For that reason, Oxygene and Euqinoxe are two truely classic albums. The concert on the place de la concorde also has been one of the (by audience) greatest concerts of all times.

Arnold Schönberg and the twelve-tone row:

Milton Babbitt and the utilization of serial music with electronics:

Steve Reich and phasing:

The real inovations happen outside of vernacular music.

Arnold Schönberg's twelve-tone row - or as my father and musicians in the DSO call it: "the headache maker". IT's true. They hate playing Schönberg and what is called "modern music" (DSO-musicians nicknamed it as "Musik des Grauens/music of horror""), it causes them bad mood, stress and a majority of the orchestra goes home with heavy headaches, they say!

No joke, it's true. They loved to have had Nagano as chief conductor, but they hated his tick for this music.

I've heard it described as a 'symphony orchestra spinning in a clothes dryer'.

Legendary songs of the past: Grauzone, "Eisbär" (polar bear)

New version: a great bossa nova cover of "Eisbär" by the French band "Nouvelle Vague" that covers punk and new wave songs:

Cute French accent, nice to look at girl!

Like them or hate them, but back in those days these four songs were played up and down:

Pink Floyd, the ultimate icon of the 1970's, revolutionized the way music was viewed. Greatest band ever, I think.

Dan D · 03-26-07, 10:31 PM

Of course, Lemmy of "motörhead" has to be mentioned, one of the "best" bass guitar players around: .
God shave Lemmy.

My nomination to the pantheon would be Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks.

Dan was a founding member of the first San Francisco Psychedelic band, The Charlatans. In 1968, Dan decided to form the Hot Licks to pursue his interest in reviving the Western Swing genre popularized in the 1930s by Bob Wills & The Texas Playboys. His work with the Licks led to the repopularization of the genre and the rise of bands like Asleep At The Wheel(featuring Maryann Price, an original Lickette). The first link is to a series on interviews with Elvis Costello & Rickie Lee Jones, among others, featuring the following songs in background:

How Can I Miss You When You Won't Go Away?

Where's The Money

I Feel Like Singing

The second link is to a rendition of I Scare Myself during a reunion appearance on Austin City Limits in the early 90's featuring the incomparable Sid Paige on Violin.

1st link:

2nd link:

a 3rd link to Canned Music from the same show. My wife auditioned for the Lickettes when Dan formed the band but her ex-husband, Richard I, nixed the deal. She looks a lot like Marayann Price, the girl in the red vest & sings like her as well

Can't belive that no-one has mentioned this lot:

By far the most influential band of their time

IMHO they changed pop music forever

PeriscopeDepth · 03-27-07, 02:55 AM

The Velvet Underground/Lou Reed:
Rock and Roll

An AOL sessions Sweet Jane

Love (RIP Arthur Lee)
Seven and Seven Is

Alone Again Or

Between Clark and Hilldale, my favorite Love song

And from a different era, but both are certainly revolutionary and brilliant
