"Featuring" someone that's not musically talented enough to be a frontman.

Yeah, not really. Jay-Z features on people's songs. So does Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, etc. But it's not just hacks that feature, sometimes the feature is a lot bigger than the "main" artist.

I think Pharrell produced it, and sings some of it?

I think you supported my case more than you think you did.

That daft punk crap is 1000 times worse than Blurred Lines. Mindless repetitive drivel.

Wow. I didn't know that one person could be so, so wrong.

Well now hold on a second....I found a song of their's last night called "Around the World" and the lyrics go "Around the world, around the world around the world around the world" only it sounds like a robot. Seems a little repetitive to me, GB. Maybe that's just one song, though.

I think most people would agree that Daft Punk songs can vary in quality. I could see Get Lucky being pretty divisive. On the one hand, it has an undoubtedly great hook. On the other, I do think it rides that hook into the ground a bit. It could probably use a bit more of a bridge, IMO. The song never really builds in a way that, say, Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger does.

I still think it's a pretty good summer jam. On that album, the only song I like better is Instant Crush (which everyone else seems to hate).

I do know the song Get Lucky. Is that them on vocals or are they sampling and/or using another singer? Sounds like something Earth Wind and Fire would have released decades ago. Not awful.

I think that is Pharrell on the vocals there which are easily the weakest point of the song.

I'm not a fan of any of the musicians I just listed, but they are "frontmen." Solo acts who put out records that (relatively speaking) sell, and tour arenas with their own nom on the marquee.

 

[SproutDaddy]

Brilliant track that is definitely the song of the summer and maybe year. Tough to find quality music at the top of the charts but this is a perfect example of Pharrell genius sampling a classic Marvin Gaye track and giving it a new flavor with Thicke's vocals.

And if you plan to watch the unedited version of the video, please save the interruption and take your pants off before viewing.

Hey, some folks like anchovies on pizza. There's something out there for everyone I guess. Rock on.

Yep and many here are stuck in a time machine taking them back to 1982. Nothing is wrong with that but music and musicians evolve and so should you. Quality music is quality regardless of time or place.

Your statement comes via the filter of your own individual tastes and it is simply false to say that everyone should appreciate the same music as being "quality" that you do.Music means different things to different people. For me, part of it is nostalgia, sure. I like listening to the metal from my teens but also like more current stuff like Black Keys, Alabama Shakes, Imagine Dragons, Muse, Cage the Elephant, etc. My favorite band is Pearl Jam who many people say peaked in the '90s but are still putting out great music to this day. Then I'm into classic rock from the 70s too. Notice that my taste is entirely in the rock genre. To you, stuff like Kanye and this dude is "genius", but I'll never like it. That doesn't make your taste "evolved" and mine stuck in a time machine. People like what they like and it's ignorant to say they should share your tastes.

Most of those bands are on Major's list. Most of you guys don't like anything hip hop/sampling related. That's what it comes down to.

Kanye has been around for a very long time and is pretty much the reason Common and John Legend blew the f up. Give the man his props.

When you say blew up (specifically in reference to Common) what do you mean?

#success

Pretty sure Dilla and ?uestlove were the cause.......but let's not discredit Common's ability.

Because you've used the term 'grumpy ol' white men' repeatedly in this thread. Sounds like you might be the racist.

Pretty sure Pharrell produced the track. And saying he isn't musically talented is ridiculous. He's probably the best producer of the last 10 years IMO. I would just ignore Andy's judgement on music. Saying Prince is overrated is one of the most ######ed things I've ever heard.Pharrell is extremely talented. Love the Neptunes and Clipse. The first N.E.R.D album is INCREDIBLE!

[17seconds]

Not a huge fan of this song - it's OK but I don't get all the love.

Daft Punk is great though. Always liked their lo-fi sound.

Pretty simple. When you deal with genius especially on a artistic level, the masses can't comprehend and get

 

[SproutDaddy]

This song isn't that bad compared to most pop stuff out there. The fact it pays homage to my favorite Marvin Gaye song it good enough for me. .........and the fact that young, 20something girls dig it and dance to it.

 

[SproutDaddy]

Oh yeah and I'm "down with the Roots so you know I know the deal."

Might be repetitive but a perfectly awesome song when you are rolling.

Everybody on this board has a peak. A few years ago it was Furley. Before that it was Otis. Hell, even Tim had his peak. During this peak the poster is constantly posting, in threads and making new ones. Right now, our friend Major is hitting his peak.

The good news is nobody can keep up the pace we are closer to the end then we are the beginning.

Song of the year. My only complaint is rubbish DJs playing dis ish 3-4x in one set. Come on, son.
