Bands you mostly listen to one instrument in...
 
Been thinking about starting a thread on this for a while but it's sort of difficult to explain what I'm getting at with it. All i'll say is that when I listen to SY I tend to find myself increasingly listening to the drums. Similarly, with Can it's the bass. Anyone else have bands they do this with?

Ew, that reminds me. I really want to get some liquid liquid stuff.

demonrail666 06.09.2007 09:27 PM

I only know Cavern, but reckon I'd like whatever they do if the rest is anything like that.

demonrail666 06.09.2007 09:32 PM

You've convinced me! :cool:

Until about two years ago, I listened almost solely to guitars, regardless of bands... however, lately, I too have been really picking up on the genius of Steve Shelley. Sister is one of my favorite guitar and drum records, and the newer stuff has some amazing drumming as well.

i mostly listen to the guitar when i listen to Black Sabbath. but that's not really much of a surprise.

i usually listen to the drums first on every album i buy, then the guitars whatever in more depth after.

I pretty much be paying attention to every aspect of the song as I listen to it. I'll hum the bass on drum on my leg. And guitar I also always listen to.

SynthethicalY 06.10.2007 02:59 AM

I could never hear the bass.

ZEROpumpkins 06.10.2007 02:59 AM

Primus and the bass

SonicSam 06.10.2007 04:06 AM

Yeah any band that has a good bassist I end up listening to that.

Ah, Les Savy Fav, I love this band, especially their " Cat and the Cobra" LP.
The singer ... Well... often screams, but he really is a showman.
The bassist is so good too, and the drummer gets along behind his drumset.
The guitarist is simply mad.

atsonicpark 06.10.2007 08:05 AM

YEAH i actually like all the instruments

but the guitarist always gets me.. damn.

HECKLER SPRAY 06.10.2007 08:13 AM

Have you seen the DVD part of "INCHES" ?

There's a live show, and Seth Jabour is fucking good on it, especially on "Who rocks the Party". He's insane. Mmmm...

atsonicpark 06.10.2007 08:25 AM

sweet, checking this out now.

i actually think inches is their best record maybe. so many good tracks. goddamn. though rome upside down and go forth are fucking killer too. damn. everything they've done.. i dunno how, but it's all good.

ESG - The bass on their songs is generally awesome

On The Velvet Underground's Waiting For My Man, the bass seems like it's almost played backwards, so I always try to separate it from the other instruments.

Can't think of anything in particular, right now.

I listen to the drums on chris corsano albums...
