You have a deaf friend

[Regards]

And they get a cochlear implant and are able to hear. You have the oppritunity to present them with their first piece of music.

What song do you play for them?

[Getup and Dance]

Metro Station - Shake it.

They will feel the pain I have had to feel.

[Regards]

Harsh.

[Zeal Hi]

The Loudest piece of death metal I have, make them kill there ears just like I have

[williek311]

Beethoven

[Getup and Dance]

Harsh.

But it will only make him stronger.

[SLoT]

Seriously take a listen to Tim Halbert's Excremental Intermission (Boomshine) it's fantastic and I think it may be an incredible experience for someones first piece of music. This is the song I would choose.

Edit: yes I know this is hypothetical. im just not sure how many people have heard this.

[SLoT]

Or you could just go with fuckin YMCA or something retarded which would make them never use their cochlear implant.

[DilesMavis]

Anything from Miles Davis, yah.

[Cuddleworthy]

GY!BE - Moya

[Regards]

Ah, a God Speed You song is a good one.

[WakeUpBlondie]

[hockeyguitar99]

[WakeUpBlondie]

Metro Station - Shake it.

They will feel the pain I have had to feel.

Weird Al - "Albuquerque"

[Cuddleworthy]

[hockeyguitar99]

Yeah, but I have faith that he'll choose a good one.

[IWasaCamera]

Hallelujah.

[KatieKutthroat.]

Hey Jude, Something, or Yesterday.

[Genuma]

One of the generic AP hatred bands. It can only get better from there.

Serious answer- Classical music.

[Danny Schme]

Serious answer- Classical music.

I agree with this

[GuitarR0cker1]

http://judyonthenet.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/nowai.jpg
haha for some reason this made me laugh

[Kbm600]

Mozart.

Not lying.

[Danny Schme]

Mozart.

Not lying.

there is no reason to lie or be ashamed of this. I'd want classical to be my first musical experience, not some myspace scene thing like Millionaires or brokeNCYDE

[Kbm600]

Agreed. I'd want to show them the art and passion first.

THEN break them down into what music has degraded into. haha.

[hailthewarrior]

Goo Goo Dolls - Iris

Simply because it's my favorite song, and if they were my friend, they've probably heard me talk about it.

But, Beethoven's 5th is a good place, too.

[hailthewarrior]

And by heard I mean, seen me type/write.

[musicfiend]

Muse- Starlight
I absolutely love that song. I even have a tattoo for it.

[Stereo Therapy]

lewis & clarke - blasts of holy birth

[FayeQC]

something by animal collective
so whatever they hear after that won't seem weird to them

[summer skin]

qazHNjubE8w

[lew_1987]

I'd fart in their face.

[thesafeword]

I'd show them my library and they could pick.

[allhourcymbals]

Tim Finn or Taj Mahal. Mmmm.

[checkered.stars]

That has to be the coolest situation ever.

[Regards]

That has to be the coolest situation ever.
I thought it was. Its a bit of a stretch that it would ever happen, but whatevs, it would still be cool.

[allhourcymbals]

I thought it was. Its a bit of a stretch that it would ever happen, but whatevs, it would still be cool.
It sort of happened to me! My mom's hearing is pretty bad and she can't really hear music at all unless it's blasting, and even then... but she got a new hearing aid a while ago and it was working so well that she even started hearing some of my music when I was in the car with her and started getting into it. It was pretty awesome.

[checkered.stars]

Oh wait, I thought it was real hahaha. D'oh.

Oh wow nice! That is really cool. What did you play for her?
Oh wait, I thought it was real hahaha. D'oh.
Haha, no. In a rare instance I turned on the TV and Mtv had a show called True Stories or something like that and it was on these two deaf kids. It made me think.

[kwsqd]

in order:

1. beethoven - moonlight sonata
2. appleseed cast - poseidon
3. thrice - for miles
4. mogwai - friend of the night
5. radiohead - karma police
6. pearl jam - immortality

[allhourcymbals]

She loves acoustic stuff, and piano, so I made her a mix with a lot of Copeland, Appleseed Cast, Sara Bareilles, Daphne Loves Derby, Tim Finn, etc. She absolutely loved it, and still listens to it haha. I should really make her another one.

[zeropunk16]

The Devil Wears Prada!

Honestly?

[Anthony Lutz]

Honestly?

Haha, no, it would probably be Radiohead, Explosions In The Sky, or Neutral Milk Hotel.

[underthetalking]

Metro Station - Shake it.

They will feel the pain I have had to feel.

Hahaha. I found this post to be quite humorous.

[bowl of oranges]

The Arcade Fire- "Wake Up"

[Pluto.]

Anything from Miles Davis, yah.

mhm.

[kwsqd]

why is everyone here so in love with miles davis? it's as if he's the only jazz artist you have ever heard.

[Pluto.]

and and and, Bessie Smith. I love her songs, right now I'm listening to... St. Louis Blues. So good.

[chronomic]

cuz miles has made prolly the best jazz album of all time. it's easy to be in love with him.

[kwsqd]

prolly? ehhh no, not probably. you could make an argument for that. and kind of blue or bitches brew?

[Cuddleworthy]

http://judyonthenet.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/nowai.jpg

crazy thought, i know

[ThemChains]

The Macho Man Randy Savage album, after that, almost any other type of music is appealing.

[nonamesleft]

This is such a cool idea for a thread.

[chronomic]

prolly? ehhh no, not probably. you could make an argument for that. and kind of blue or bitches brew?

what? i was refering to kind of blue.

[IWasaCamera]

Miles releasing the greatest jazz album is definitely debatable.

[Regards]

Miles releasing the greatest jazz album is definitely debatable.
When you start talking greats, all music is.

[IWasaCamera]

Sure. Doesn't detract from the fun in discussing it though.

[kwsqd]

what? i was refering to kind of blue.
I like bitches brew more :shrug:

[chronomic]

I like bitches brew more :shrug:

still some fantastic shit. i have some sweet memories attached to kind of blue, so i'm bias

[kwsqd]

I didn't mean to give you shit personally, it was just a general comment about most people on here liking miles davis and then not knowing someone like ahmad jamal..

[chronomic]

I didn't mean to give you shit personally, it was just a general comment about most people on here liking miles davis and then not knowing someone like ahmad jamal..

no i get ya. it's more than a general comment on people HERE though, miles is much more well known then most jazz artists.

[IWasaCamera]

Miles is definitely the first name that comes to mind when jazz is mentioned. Coltrane, Mingus, Ornette, Monk, Ayler, Brubeck, Getz/Gilberto are all contenders for having written the genre's greatest album though.

[Pluto.]

Really? I haven't seen many people here talk about him that much. Then again I'm still sorta new.

for the younger generation that might be true. and I would add Jamal and Montgomery to that list as well.

every hip kid I know claims to like miles davis but if you were to ask them who wrote "take five" they would say dave brubeck or that they didn't know. both answers would be wrong.

Oh yeah, yeah. I see. Here I haven't seen very many people talk about him, except one or two that I know of. But all of a sudden I've been seeing his name appear in other forums/places.

[IWasaCamera]

Everyone I've ever met who claims to be into jazz cites Miles as a favorite as well, not just the younger folk. I personally prefer Coltrane.

[Yes. And?]

anything by Radiohead.
When did you become all l33t?

[Protested Hero]

The Lion King Theme.

[Mirrorsandfevers]

I can't answer this without feeling wrong
