Indie vs R N B

[robbied69]

Personally I'm an Indie man myself.

 

[e77]

I always think of R&B as being stuff like Booker T and the MGS, not Destiny's Child.

 

[WATFORD O]

I f'ing hate r 'n' b whatever the f that is.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

R&B....f*** off

Unless of course you mean proper Rythm & Blues like Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy etc

 

[Grendel]

What is referred to as R&B now bears no relation whatsoever to the music I know as R&B, and has besmirched the name and reputation of a fine musical genre.

 

[NMH]

I always think of R&B as being stuff like Booker T and the MGS, not Destiny's Child.

And what a brilliant band BT&MGs were!

Yep, R'n B has been diluted these days by all these absolutely awful amateur crooner acts. When Stevie was giving it up on Yesterme Yesteryou Yesterday, Never Had a Dream Come True, Heaven Help Us All...... !! Now that is hard to beat.

Never mind, the old classic R'n B is still there to listen to, as is the classic blues, and some indie bands are now making great new music. (Nine Black Alps for instance).

 

[Goring Gull]

Got to be indie, R n B insults the eardrums.

 

[Brovion]

Yeah, when did R 'n' B become weak disco? When I was younger R 'n' B was an abbreviation of Rhythm 'n' Blues, what is it short for now?

An insult to a great genre.

 

[Curious Orange]

I'll take Indie over R 'n B any day.

As most everyone has previously said R 'n B is NOT Rythym and Blues, and in fact should be ashamed to even try and theive its good name!

There are some good RnB artists out though:

Usher
Ginuwine
Carl Thomas
Jamie Foxx
Mario
Alicia Keys

to name but a few

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

WHAT WISE ARSE OF A RECORD EXEC DECIDED 'I KNOW LETS TAKE A GENRE WHOS MUSIC IS ABOUT HARDSHIP & REPRESSION & TURN IT INTO SOMETHING WHERE THE MOST IMNPORTANT THING IS THE AMOUNT OF F'IN BLING!!!!

OYES OF COURSE BUDDY GUY PLAYS THE SAME MUSIC AS USHER !!!!!!

 

[CHAPPERS]

I like a lot of both music forms. Denying a form of music can shut you off from a whole world of pleasure.

There is some excellent r'n'b out there.

Lauryn Hill, Erykah Badu.....

A drum machine, sampled guitar/piano hook and some half hearted "singing" does not constitute R&B.

 

[Bluejuice]

It's like asking:

Music or noise?

This modern so-called R'n'B is terrible. And I'm not against urban music at all, in fact I enjoy a lot of good hip-hop and even garage. But I just find all this soulless Destiny's Child bullshit is beyond being bland and boring, it actually irritates me no end to have to listen to it. I can't listen to commercial radio or Radio 1 anymore because it's become so overrun with this drivel and I'd rather listen to Radio 2 than have my musical appreciation desensitised by whoever all these R'nB acts are (I've just spent ten minutes trying to come up with examples but I really haven't a clue who any of these terrible songs making up the charts are by. Destiny's Child sums it all up basically, and everyone else just sounds like them anyway)

 

[zefarelly]

If R'n'B is The Fabulous Thunderbirds, 9 below Zero, Booker T, Blues breakers, Jeff Beck Group etc, then R'n'B every day of the week

if it means soft shyte lilly livered Black American post motown crap then I'm an indie man through and through

 

[Goring Gull]

Weren't THE WHO classed as R n B now how the fcuk hjas that got anything to do with all this destiny child shite and R kelly

NONE of that is RnB! That's the sort of music you buy your Gran for Christmas!

I must have slipped into some strange, parallell universe ......

 

[enigma]

If you're staying true to the original definition, ok.

If you think Alicia Keys singing is half-hearted, you're having a laugh.

Jesus, you lot are too old school. Do you still call players inside left and right half?

Fair enough, Destinys Child arent great, but there are a lot of talented singers out there.
