It is you you you

But thank god Google exists, Pressure Drops.

"Pressure Drop" is a song recorded in 1969 by The Maytals for producer Leslie Kong. The song appears on their 1970 album Monkey Man (released in Jamaica by Beverley's Records) and From the Roots (released in the UK by Trojan Records). "Pressure Drop" helped launch the band's career outside Jamaica when the song was featured in the soundtrack to the 1973 film The Harder They Come, which introduced reggae to much of the world. In 2004, Rolling Stone rated the song #446 in its list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

First cover was done by Robert Palmer
Second cover was done by The Clash

This song is also on the soundtrack for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
 
I don't know how safe you feel but just because I think that Rap Music is a contradiction in terms doesn't mean I don't have some peripheral knowledge. While Outcast isn't my strong suit I do have some real music like Gloryhallastoopid and Trombipulation ;)

I have no Idea what you're talkin about on this one either.



ETA: it's Outkast

:sign:
 
Oh, and I also would say that Rap Music IS a contradiction in terms as well. Though there is much of it I like.
 
I've been rediscovering The Band as of late. What an amazing group of musicians. The Last Waltz is an incredible movie. Levon Helm is a personal inspiration of mine. I highly recommend any of us "youngsters" to get into The Band.

:thumbs:

Yeah I didn't catch it either... Though if someone says something about Peter Frampton, I automatically think "Frampton comes alive" with his crazy mouth harp skills. Of course I know who he is, hell I've got the CD. Doesn't mean I know every collaboration he's ever done.

Boy, we can tell you're young if you think that Outkast first album was one of the most influential. Where do you think all this started? Although I hate it now, I was a teen in the 80's so all I listened to was rap. Everyone raised hell back then because of 2 Live Crew because of their lyrics...now you can't sell a rap album unless you say F#ck 30 times in each song. N.W.A. was the pioneering "Gangsta" rap band, Grandmaster Flash, The Fat Boys, Kurtis Blow, DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, Beastie Boys....etc.

You want to talk about the most influential rap album and group....it's Run DMC and their Raising Hell album.

Oh sure Brian, and what next? You going to try and tell me that Metallica didn’t create heavy metal, Slash isn’t the greatest guitarist ever, Limp Bizkit didn’t start the rap/rock revolution, and Garth Brooks wasn’t the first true country music legend? :laugh:
 
Maybe I shouldn't have said "most" influential. But Outkast definitely did something different and influential. I have an older brother, I know the roots. :thumbs:

And BTW: Metallica isn't heavy metal.

Sure, you could technically consider them thrash metal, which is a sub-genre of heavy metal. Maybe you can consider them speed metal. Beyond that, you've got me.

You guys haven't lived until you've jammed out to Folktronica at 3 in the morning, hyped up on Vault and watching Adult Swim.

For what? There wasn't a thing I said that wasn't true! ;)

By the way, this is why I dislike most people who love Metallica. Most of them didn't even know who they were before "One" came out. Then they came out with the Black Album and everybody and their Brothers loved them. Where were these people when I was jamming to Kill 'em All, Ride the Lightning, and Master of Puppets on cassette in my "boombox"! I guess Iron Maiden, Slayer, and Megadeth weren't metal either. :rolleyes:

(this was when I wasn't trying to beat box like the Fat Boys! :laugh:)

I can see how if you've only caught onto Metallica over their past half why you may not consider them one of the all time great metal bands, but if you go and listen to Battery or Trapped Under Ice, you can't tell me that's not pure heavy metal.
 
There is an older fella I work with who, when asked if he listened to heavy metal, pulled out a Black Sabbath CD and proceeded to jam out. I have much respect for every band mentioned here but I just call em like I see em. Deep Purple, Ozzy/Black Sabbath, GnR, AC/DC etc. are all classic rock now-a-days.
