Why do we feel so much from + so little? The reason is the way the brain uses its senses to + wonderstand the world around it. Brains use large amounts of inner + connected components that serve very abstract uses. By routing + information to different parts using a high amount of + innerconnectedness it can process information in a exponential + amount of ways. By sending carefully choosen information to send to + the senses you can take advanged of the way it processes information + to show whats really going on under the hood and to cause it to + route data in ways it normally wouldn't.

About the + closest I have to an all time favorite. When I was first learning + guitar a family friend showed me The Doors and showed me how to play + a doors rift on guitar. At first it look me to get deeper in their + music but they have always been with me no matter where I go in + life. A lot of artists haven't continued to bring me joy as my taste + changes in the same way as The Doors. If you asked me my favorite + doors song I would say all of them.<br /> + <br /> + If you dig The Doors please check out Ray Manzarek's solo work. His + solo album The Golden Scarab is my pick for one of the most + criminally underrated albums of all time.</p> + <h3>Robin Trower</h3> + <p>Many people call him a Jimi Hendrix copy but he they are wrong. + While there are crossovers he does have his own style that is + different From Jimi. His old albums, new albums... are all master + pieces. He only continues to age like wine and is still making new + music to this day without selling out or sounding dated.</p> + <h3>Jimi Hendrix</h3> + <p>This list isn't complete without him. Jimi is like Santa, Jesus, + Abraham Lincoln... its a requirement you know who he is. Just take a + look at every artist after he got big. Jimi's greatness leaked into + all music. His influence can't be stopped by any granfalloon + borders. His influence quickly leaked into even countries that were + cultural isolated from the west. Check out Super Djata Band to see + what I mean.<br /> + <br /> + Most places say he died from overdose but that is a lie! He was + murdered by his manager who was upset that Jimi wanted to take a + break from fame and focus on himself instead.</p> + <h3>Babe Rainbow</h3> + <p>A fun little viby modern psychedelic band. Also one of the few + modern bands that have well put together albums not just great + singles but shitty albums. There music is fun to listen to and a + good choice to bring you out of a bad mood.</p> + <h3>Levitation Room</h3> + <p>Another great modern psychedelic band. I got to see them live + once. The way their guitarist plays finger style really caught my + eye. I often have their songs stuck in my head even if I haven't + heard any of their stuff for months and I don't even realize its + them until I listen to them again.</p> + <h3>Sugar Candy Mountain</h3> + <p>Its one of those great bands I forgot that exists but when I run + into their music again it always brings me great joy.</p> + <h3>King Gizard and the Lizard Wizard</h3> + <p>A very unforgotable name indeed. You may not like some of their + music but they fill quite a bit of area so don't give up on them so + fast. A lot of their songs feel a bit gimmicky for my taste but + still a great band.</p> + <h3>The Black Angels</h3> + <p>Good skateboarding music. Heavy and dark. Very nice indeed.</p> + <h3>Strawberry Alarm Clock</h3> + <p>Its just pure 60's psychedelic extract. They got viby stuff what + more can I say.</p> + <h3>Frank Zappa</h3> + <p>Go check out Frank Zappa. Thats a threat.</p> + <h3>The Beatles</h3> + <p><i>The Beatles exist</i></p> + </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td> + <h2 id="progessive">Progessive</h2> + <h3>Gentle Giant</h3> + <p>A band very few know of yet it has a cult following. They are a + must for any prog rock fans. They mix in so many sounds and really + push the limits of rock in a way even other prog bands never did. I + may even dare call them my favorite prog rock band.</p> + <h3>Camel</h3> + <p>Another prog band nearly no one knows about. Go listen to their + album Moonmadness right now. Thats a requirement!</p> + <h3>The Moody Blues</h3> + <p>Its commonly believed that they started prog rock. They are known + for their big sound and use of classical music theory. I already + called Gentle Giant my favorite prog rock band so I am going to call + The Moody Blues my favorite prog pop band. Many people don't know + that prog pop actually exists and prog pop is what The Moody Blues + is. Go listen to The Moody Blues right now! Some of their albums are + a bit slow going but thats because they are carefully created works + of art. Their most well known album Days of Future Passed is said to + be one of the greatest concept albums of all time.</p> + <h3>King Crimson</h3> + <p>They are very commercially successful for prog standards. How + could you not like a band with a name like that!</p> + <h3>Van der Graaf Generator</h3> + <p>They sound almost early Genesis. They have a strange natual + darkness that always stands out to me.</p> + <h3>Hatfield & The North</h3> + <p>I really dig their album The Rotters club. That album has a + special place in my heart and is easily one of my favorite albums of + all time!!! Wanta hear the crazy story behind it? There isn't one, I + just really dig it.</p> + <h3>Emerson, Lake & Palmer</h3> + <p>The band was started by a few law firm owners. You believed me + didn't you? They actually just have a boring name. Their music isn't + boring so go check them out! Also a lot of people hate this band for + no reason.</p> + <h3>Caravan</h3> + <p>Most of these bands are British but this one is the most British. + Your welcome.</p> + <h3>Magma</h3> + <p>They write concept albumns about a race of aliens called the + Kobaïan. The lanauge they sing in is the lanauge the Kobaïan speak + so not very many people actually know what they are singing about. + Yes, the aliens are real.</p> + <h3>Yes</h3> + <p>One of the first prog bands I got into. Don't let their + commerical success scare you away. They are indeed very + wonderful.</p><img src="images/tiny_lain.gif" alt="Lain" /> + <h3>Can</h3> + <p>The greatest Krautrock band of all time. tbh its one of those + bands I really need to listen to more.</p> + <h3>Amon Duul II</h3> + <p>Another great Krautrock band. They have a bit heavier sound than + Can.</p> + <h3>Pink Floyd</h3> + <p>Pink Floyd is not a prog rock band.</p> + </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td> + <h2 id="funk">Funk</h2> + <h3>Parliament Funkadelic</h3> + <p>The funkest band in the list. More funk than you can handle! + p-funk is some pretty strong stuff. Its lethal. Its actually two + bands but its members kept going back and forth and they forgot were + each band started and ended.</p> + <h3>Sly and the Family Stone</h3> + <p>A vey influential funk band ineed. They were mixed race and + gender, and they were an important part of the civil rights + movement. Also their single Thank You is the first song ever + released with slap bass which was played by Larry Graham.</p> + <h3>Graham Central Station</h3> + <p>Larry Graham created it so that means its 100 percent funk. Larry + Graham is the enbodiment of funk so anything he touches gets turned + into pure 100 percent organic funk.</p> + <h3>Cymande</h3> + <p>This one is quite different than any of the funk bands on this + list and really is its own thing. Their name is a calypso word for + dove which is a symbol of peace and love. You can hear the peace and + love in their music and it flows into the ear and through rest of + body. This is a band that truly transforms their geist into energy + and vibrations for rest of the world to hear.</p> + <h3>Lafayette Afro Rock Band</h3> + <p>Another band that is so funky its lethal! They were not that well + known during their time recording but have gained much more of a + following now. Do check them out if you think you can handle so much + funk!</p> + <h3>Average White Band</h3> + <p>Its hard to believe a bunch of white dudes can get so funky but + they did and its real funky!</p> + <h3>Jaco Pastorius</h3> + <p>Jaco Pastorius is one of the greatest bassists of all time. He + played for Weather Report and released some really funky solo + work.</p> + <h3>Billy Cobham</h3> + <p>Billy Cobham is one hell of a drummer. He played for Miles Davis + and Mahavishnu Orchestra. You need to listen to his solo work now + (thats a threat). He also had influence on many prog artists + including King Crimson.</p> + <h3>Shuggie Otis</h3> + <p>His dad had a band and personally knew many very well known + artists so Shuggie grow up around them and learned guitar at a very + young age. He played in his dads band as a little kid and they would + make him dress like a old man so they could sneak him into bars to + play with the band. As he got older he got countless offers from + some really big artists to play in their band but he gave them all + up and instead produced his own albums and remained a small artist + so he could make the music he wanted to make.</p> + <h3>Janko Nilovic</h3> + <p>Holy fuck I forgor this dude existed for a while but dam his + music is funky!</p> + <h3>Eddie Hazel</h3> + <p>The first lead guitarist for Funkadelic. His Hendrix like playing + is very badass. He is known for his guitar playing on Maggot Brain + though he also has a great solo album which became rare not long + after its release and is often not talked about much to this + day.</p> + <h3>Gil Scott-Heron</h3> + <p>As of writting this He is an artist I discovered more recently. I + dig it so far. He writes songs that are political which is quite + based.</p> + <h3>Mandrill</h3> + <p>Not really my favorite funk band but still funky. And funky is + good.</p> + </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td> + <h2 id="japanese_stuff">Japanese stuff</h2> + <p>They get their own section even though not all this artists play + the same style because 1: this list is going to get messy, 2: they + are better than the other artists, 3: some of these artists I + discovered like yesterday or an hour ago as of writing this so I + don't know what to say.</p> + <h3>Kikagaku Moyo</h3> + <p>The best psychedelic band of all time. <b>THE BEST.</b> You will + be ruined for all other psychedelic music once you hear them. Sadly + they broke up.</p> + <h3>The Pillows</h3> + <p>Best known for making the soundtrack for FLCL. Go watch FLCL + (thats a threat). Their music is killer and I dig it.</p> + <h3>Ginger Root</h3> + <p>Ginger Root is the bomb. I got to see them live and let me tell + you it was easily one of the best artists I have ever seen live. So + much energy!!!</p> + <h3>Pacific album</h3> + <p>This album was made by multiple artists. Its one of the best + albums I have ever listen to. Good music for when skateboarding + around town buzzed on kratom on a clear warm day without a single + worry in sight.</p> + <h3>Unsorted short but ever growing list of Japanese artists</h3> + <ul> + <li>T-SQUARE</li> + <li>Masayoshi Takanaka</li> + <li>Naniwa Express</li> + <li>Casiopea</li> + <li>Haruomi Hosono</li> + <li>Shigeru Suzuki</li> + <li>Tatsuro Yamashita</li> + </ul> + </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td> + <h2 id="jazz">Jazz</h2> + <p>Jazz is about the best music. A lot of this is more on the fusion + side btw (:</p> + <h3>Allan Holdsworth</h3> + <p>My pick for greatest guitarist of all time. This dude learned + guitar himself and jesus mother fucking christ he can play. Not only + can he play fast but we can still play with at least as much geist + as Jeff beck, play the most harsh finger breaking far apart scales, + all while leaving Joe Satriani and Steve Vai in the dust. <b>Guitar + was his side hobby.</b> His main thing we brewing. Dam this fucker + got a hell ton of autism.</p> + <h3>Mahavishnu Orchestra</h3> + <p>People will think your crazy if you tell them to check out this + band, people will think your crazy if you rock out to this. But its + the bomb. It showed me a side of music I haven't gone into before + than. I was listening to Led Zeppelin and that shit before I + discovered the depths of fusion and prog waiting for me. The best + parts of life is when you discover something new and fall deep into + the depths of a rabbit hole. Thats when the world opens up and you + start to think differently and open your mind. Thats why its good to + try new things. I wouldn't be who I am today without that push from + Mahavishnu Orchestra. They are a different breed of jazz fusion than + the stuff most fusion fans are use to. Its much harsher and almost + meaner. they dis into parts of the geist other artists stay far away + from.</p> + <h3>Miles Davis</h3> + <p>You jazz peeps already know Miles Davis. If your a song writer of + any style that haven't checked out Miles yet give him a try. His + music is a good example of how to use space in music to open things + up and close them down. Compare his works and you will see what I + mean. While I haven't dug into his stuff much I really dig his album + Bitches Brew. Its very different than the smooth easy on the ear + stuff people often think of when it comes to Miles Davis. Its closer + to Mahavishnu Orchestra.</p> + </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td> + <h2 id="rock_alt_punk">Rock/Alt/Punk</h2> + <h3>Talking Heads</h3> + <p><b>You need to listen to the Talking Heads.</b> Now, its a + requirement. Its a funky silly litte band. The front man David Byre + is rocking with autism so its a given its going to be a good band. + There is no band that sounds anything like them. They have no right + to be as funky as they are!</p> + <h3>Ween</h3> + <p>A wonderful little silly band. Best known for their album The + Mollusk which influenced the creation of SpongeBob Squarepants. + <b>If it influenced SpongeBob so it gotta be good!</b> They have + other great music though that album really stands out to me. This + silly little SpongeBob album is somehow one of the greatest pieces + of music of all time! It can easily compare to the prog and fusion + stuff on this list. The mood changes quickly but in a very musical + way that paints an entire landscape of many different colors.</p> + <h3>Morphine</h3> + <p>A really wonderful little treo. Their front band Mark Sandman + plays a bass with only 2 strings tuned in 5ths and he plays it with + a slide, their saxophonist Dana Colley can play two saxophons at + once, and their drummer is just a total vibe.</p> + <h3>Joy Division</h3> + <p>This band reminds me of my CS teacher who had a bow tie and + worked at a standing table with borderline too many monitors plugged + into a little mac book. Every morning when I walked in normal music + was never playing, it was often a mix of alt rock and EDM that was + quite fitting for a programming class. He gave everyone rubber ducks + so we can have an inanimate object to use to ask for help. He always + called himself a lizard person and was a Doctor Who fan. I assume + this is a universal experience and everyone had a CS teacher like + this. He must have been a standard issue factory made CS teacher + because if a mad man with a bow tie who jams out to Joy Division + isnt your average CS teacher I dont know what is a average CS + teacher.</p> + <h3>The Clash</h3> + <p>One of the first bands I really got into. I listened to them a + lot when I was first learning guitar. They got a good sense of humor + to.</p> + <h3>Ramones</h3> + <p>When I was little one of my sisters friends had a dad who was a + fan of the Ramones. He gave me a data disk full of pirated music + which included a lot of stuff by the Ramones. I instandly became a + Ramones fan. I dont listen to them much lately but they will always + have a place in my heart.</p> + <h3>Dr.Feelgood</h3> + <p>This is a mean ass band. Their music was a rebellian against the + prog rock and glam rock music that was becoming big at the time. Pub + rock bands like Dr.Feelgood went fuck it all and instead played mean + raw drunken rock n' roll. This is the kind of music I listen to when + skateboarding or when I need to get shit done.</p> + <h3>ACDC (Bon Scott era)</h3> + <p>I know what your thinking <i>its that band with songs that always + sound the same and has sore throat sounding vocals</i>. Well they + were not always like that. In their early days they had a better + vocalist: Bon Scott. And they fucked around with different sounds a + lot more.<br /> + <br /> + These are the Bon Scott era albums:</p> + <ul> + <li>High Voltage</li> + <li>TNT</li> + <li>Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap</li> + <li>Let There Be Rock</li> + <li>Powerage</li> + <li>Highway to Hell</li> + </ul> + <p>Powerage and Let There Be Rock are my favorites out of all of + them. Powerage was my first CD I ever got and I keep going back to + it all the time. Its their best album by far. RIP (rock in pleace) + Bon Scott.</p> + <h3>ZZ Top</h3> + <p>I dont listen to them much anymore but they had a big influence + on my guitar playing. One of my favorite albums by them is Tejas. + Its a very underrated album. I dig the darker more ambient tone of + Tejas. Also go listen to their first album. Its completely + killer!</p> + </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td> + <h2 id="other">Other</h2> + <h3>Jeff Beck</h3> + <p>While many think Jimi Hendrix is the greatest guitarist of all + time many more enlighted people pick Jeff Beck. Not that Jimi is bad + or anything but holy fuck Jeff Beck can really play guitar. He puts + soooo much geist into his music and makes the guitar sing in a way + no one else can. I still have my own pick for greatest guitarist + though.</p> + <h3>Tipsy</h3> + <p>I was in a music store with some friends and one of their records + was playing in the store. Later, I wished I bought it so I went back + and they no longer had the record. They don't have very much + released and seem to be dead. They don't seem to have much of a + following and they website is down. You can find it <a href= + "https://web.archive.org/web/20130826202218/http://tipsy.org/" + target="_blank">here</a> on the wayback machine.</p> + <h3>Messer Chups/Messer Fur Frau Muller</h3> + <p>A russia band I discovered recently as of writing this. I dig + them so far but I haven't checked out much of their stuff.</p> + <h3>Silver Apples</h3> + <p>They are a electric band that uses DIY synths made from miltary + surplus radio gear along with other shit. Not really something I + would care to jam to much but still a good band.</p> + </td> + </tr> + </table><img src="images/tiny_lain.gif" alt="Lain" /> <img src= + "images/tiny_lain.gif" alt="Lain" /> <img src="images/tiny_lain.gif" alt= + "Lain" /> <img src="images/tiny_lain.gif" alt="Lain" /> <img src= + "images/tiny_lain.gif" alt="Lain" /> + </center> +</body> +</html> |
