I'm zapping through the TV channels, and a techno beat song has a familiar sound to it. "Teachers leave them kids alone". Not again, I think to myself.
Eric Prydz (sp?) is behind this one. Not as bad as the time Scissor Sisters attacked and molested "Comfortably Numb", but this version still becomes rubbish next to the original "Another brick in the wall".
Whatever happened to making music without ripping someone off?

Same goes with movies. I think there are about 6 original plotlines in Hollywood (only 2 in Bollywood) and everything else is just a variation of those.

I heard a horrible, just plain battered version of "Comfortably Numb" on the radio, and my god, it hurt my ears....And Radiohead did a pretty bad cover of "Wish you were here" IIRC.

Can't help it, I simply can't listen to any contemporary band. I guess I'm getting really old...The Hawk is playing the Immigrant Song right now. That's something I really like.

Just imagine what it'll sound like when today's rap gets run through Muzak..and gets played in nursing homes in a few years..........
A personal pet peeve...using "my" music in commercials....

Quoting Daleaholic (Reply 9): I must say, I don't really like it, although the video has a strong message.
I only caught climpses of the video. Someone running from someone? In case I never see it again, what was the message?
Quoting Dan2002 (Reply 11): I heard a horrible, just plain battered version of "Comfortably Numb" on the radio, and my god, it hurt my ears.
Yep, that would be scissor sisters... (I have a feeling they only produce rubbish. Aren't they the ones in a video dancing around singing "I don't feel like dancing. No sir no dancing today"? Sums up pop music pretty well..)
Quoting Dan2002 (Reply 11): And Radiohead did a pretty bad cover of "Wish you were here" IIRC.
Can't say I've heard that one. But I remember that Wycleaf (sp?) fella making a version of it. Fairly close to the original if I remember correctly, and seemed more like a tribute more than just an attempt to make easy money off their song.

Did they? Never heard it.

Quoting Kaddyuk (Reply 4): I quite like it... It makes a change from all the crappy "RnB" that seemed to be dominating the market.
So Europe has caught the fever of the hip hop and RnB too eh? Lucky you guys get videos of techno songs! All the videos we get in the states are teenage rock and hip-hop crap that unfortunately doesn't seem to go out of style. If not that it's spanish Reggeton which is just as annoying!
Quoting Kaddyuk (Reply 4): I've also met Eric Prydz and he's a very nice guy, unlike Mylo who is a twunt...
Is Mylo from Miami? All I've heard from him is that song "drop the pressure", and I have to say I liked it.
What's the name of that song by Eric Prydz where the video is an 80's aerobics class? Quite funny. The original 80's song was a lot better. Not a big fan of these discohouse remixes of classic tunes.

Can't say I've heard either...

Don't worry Thomas . . . there's always vintage Kylie!
and Abba!
Now THERE'S two classics for you . . .
25 Ardian: Yeah it's a horrible track (just like his previous hit 'Call on me') and I don't like that so-called moralistic video (I also won't consider Eric Pryd
26 Thom@s: Classics they may be, but I still wouldn't mention either in the same sentence as Pink Floyd... Thom@s
27 VonRichtofen: I think it's more to do with Record labels trying squeeze out as many hits out of an "artist" as fast as they can. Kris
28 Braybuddy: Yeah, you're right. They're far too classy for that.
29 BA757: Call On Me. Mylo's stuff is pretty good, though I'd say its a bit of an acquired taste. Adam
30 Thom@s: Hey there's popularity and there's quality... Thom@s
31 Leigh Pilgrim: In my opinion, excluding OASIS, todays music is sh!te, complete meaningless rubbish, what happened to the days where groups sung with there heart and
32 Fbgdavidson: I knew of this but this thread inspired me to go listen to it on Beatport for the first time. The beat is pretty good but the ABITW is more of a heavi
33 GLAGAZ: Meh, Floyd are nothing special in my opinion. Give me ACDC, GnR or Iron Maiden anyday :P Gaz
34 Thom@s: Not quite the same genre are they though? Hehe. ACDC, GnR and Maiden are all good, but no where near Floyd... in my opinion. Thom@s
35 Leigh pilgrim: At the end of the day we are all entitled to our own opinion. At our work, a guys ringtone was that of the SS version of Comfortably Numb, and I said
36 N174UA: I like ABBA just as much as the next person, but for VERY different reasons, the two can't be mentioned together in the same breath/sentence. That sa
37 Eaglekeeper101: I'm keeping my fingers crossed that nobody ever feels like remixing anything by Siouxsie and the Banshees - any of their music redone would probably m
38 Garri767: okay, im going to stick out here and make myself feel old. NOTHING IS GOOD AFTER 1992 or so. My favorite stuff is Gunsnroses, ACDC, Metallica, Van hal
39 EFHK: Flame me, but I absolutely love the Eric Prydz version of Proper Education! I'm probably just (still) so young that all these new versions of old song
40 Thom@s: I dunno, Division bell wasn't bad... Thom@s
41 YHMYYZspotter: The HAWK is amazing. I am from Hamilton and that's all I listen to. Kicks the crap out of Q107 in Toronto. I must admit the best station out there is
42 Andz: my attitude to modern music is best summed up in a line by Floyd: "I.... have become.... comfortably numb...."
43 Leigh pilgrim: On the subject of this, my guitar hero is David Gilmour, yet his latest album 'On An Island' in my view is sh!t, it board me to tears and its now gain
44 Jimyvr: "Call On Me" was horrible "Proper Education" the smash. Already in my top to 10 list for 2007.
45 Jafa39: Dude, you ain't heard horror until you have heard the Gregorian Chant Version of "Wish you were here" truly, horribly, BAD!!!!!!!!!!!
46 Thom@s: Hehe, yeah that didn't sound good... Although I must admit I've heard one or two gregorian chants that sounded ok. Thom@s
47 Jafa39: "Real" Gregorian is fine but this was just awful!
48 Jimyvr: Um, Baby one More Time, Dirrty, Hung Up, Slow, Can't Get You Out Of My Head were good ones after 1992
49 MIAMIx707: And they had like 2 good songs? With lyrics like "where were you while we were getting high" ... the second coming of the Beatles oh yeah! rofl... An
