I really don't get the "music must be really difficult to make" crowd. Something incredibly simple can be absolutely fantastic, and really difficult music can be absolutely trash. There's no correlation between difficulty and whether it's good or not. None.

I get it's the natural progression of most people, to like what they knew as a young adult and dismiss everything thereafter as trash. But it's amazing ppl can't see that trend and just recognize they're being old curmudgeons. You know the people prior to you thought that your music was trash and their was the best, right?

There's a lot of music I don't like, past and present, and a lot I do like from each era. I think that the democratization of music (amongst many other things) have watered down music in many ways. Everyone can "make it" to some degree. There are literally millions of bands that have their music readily available to us on Spotify or YT Music or whatever. So overall, yes music is worse b/c we're exposed to more bands that could not have made it through the old traditional way. But that old traditional way was so broken, you missed out on so much music that you would undoubtedly have liked had it been more available to you. So many great musicians were shunned by the industry for many different reasons b/c very few people controlled the entire industry in all reality. That's just a broken way to do it so even though it leads to it being watered down the way bands can produce and put music into the stratosphere on their own with relative easy is far superior.

I would say I’m a casual Cave fan- I like a few of his albums and a bunch of songs, generally the consensus favorites. I’m 45 yr old IT guy listen to jazz, prog/metal, classic blues and R&B.

My wife isn’t really into rock music (more latin and jazz and r&b) but i took her to see him live a few years ago and she was smitten. Was really into the theatricality and intensity. And of course the theme song to Peaky Blinders.

It's got some really odd time signatures which makes it great

Loved the soundtrack to Scream 3, I didn't love that version of Red Right Hand but it was enough to get me down the path. 40's tech guy too, US.

No one goes to a concert wanting to hear the people next to them recite lyrics. Just go enjoy seeing the artist, absolutely no one cares if you know the lyrics or not. Everyone is there to see the artist, not you.

But the correct answer is Led Zeppelin IV.

When he knocked on my door and entered the room, my trembling subsided in his sure embrace. He would be my first man, and with a careful hand, he wiped at the tears that ran down my face.

Right there with you!

I played this cassette on repeat until it disintegrated in the tape deck of my truck

What show ?

I mean, without it we wouldn't have "The Magic Number" by De La Soul, so I won't say it shouldn't have happened. ;)

39 year old male nurse. I’m a big fan but the era I really love seems to be somewhat looked down upon. Henry’s dream and Let Love In is my favorite run.

Excuuuuuuuuse me 😆

There’ll be people there that know every lyric. There’ll be people there that just saw the person on a promotional poster and wanted to come see. There’ll be everyone in the middle too. Just enjoy yourself and don’t stress about learning lyrics, if you like the artist and enjoy their music, it’ll come to you when you hear them!

>Rap to me is mostly people shouting about either how tough they are or how materialistic they are.

Ridiculous. Like calling ballet "just a bunch of twirling around."

Hahahah fight me lol

Some quality over thinking here lol.

Tbh that night doesn't have much of a story, or if it does I don't remember it. That period in my life though was pretty wild, I was like 15/16 and in a relationship with an awesome girl a year older than me, which at the time felt like an age.

My gf's friend group contained a number of celebrities' offspring (one of Mick Jagger's seemingly countless daughters among them) and another girl, "Emma Fakename" (without famous parents) who has gone on to star in Hollywood movies and been in relationships with A listers. Sidebar - the girls were super jealous of "Emma", because she was already modelling and stuff and because they all thought she was the hottest, which I never did. Time has arguably proven them right to be jealous though lol

I digress. "Emma" was in a relationship with one of Nick Cave's sons. I can also reveal, since you wanted no detail spared, that I remember her once bragging about his massive and "perfect" cock, so there's that. Another of the girls was also fucking him on the side and I've sometimes wondered in jest if it was Emma's bragging about his dick that drew the other girl in.

Anyway, I only properly met him once and I don't really remember much, I remember he was cool and that he looked a lot like his dad. I managed to get the coke delivered so I was the hero of the night. Nothing special about the night I'm afraid, I was definitely starstruck-once-removed though. Partly because I was a fan of his dad but also these kids were all older, richer and cooler than me and I was in over my head (as, it occurs to me now, they all were as well). We just spent the night, as usual, listening to music and doing lines.

A month or so later my gf dumped me and my foray into this weird world of rich girls was over. Never heard from any of them ever again. No regrets as far as I'm concerned, hopefully they're all healthy and happy.

32M software developer from VA. First heard “Up Jumped the Devil” when I played through Alan Wake around 2010, then heard “Red Right Hand” while watching through The X Files a couple of years later. Then dove into his newer stuff.

No one cares if you're singing along, they didn't pay to hear or watch you.

You’re there to watch the band sing their songs. They don’t need your help.
