Let's pretend for a moment...

That I'd never heard music before.

What SINGLE album would you recommend I listen to?

Mercury · 06-17-2010, 01:42 AM

hmmmm....

cantSEEme · 06-17-2010, 01:54 AM

^ lol.

that's a difficult question to answer, bears. thinking of a single album to show someone who's never heard music before brings to mind a shitton of albums.

im going to go with three that i would ultimately choose....

*michael jackson - thriller

*beach boys - pet sounds

*creedence clearwater revival - cosmo's factory

out of those three, prob. *ccr would be the one i picked to show you.

* subject to change

edit: dammit, i just thought of like ten more albums, but im not gonna change the list.

Mercury · 06-17-2010, 02:07 AM

^yeah. thriller is good if you're going for a top-down strategy. abbey road, purple rain, dark side of the moon, zeppelin IV, saturday night fever. abba gold.

cantSEEme · 06-17-2010, 02:08 AM

prince and zep. albums definitely crossed my mind.

Hell yeah, great choice with Cosmo's Factory. Or Willy And The Poorboys, can't go wrong with either.

If not those two, I'd show for either

Anything Classical or possible African Tribal Dance. If that's the case, you have to start with the roots, first!

Waves · 06-17-2010, 08:52 PM

id have to go with the classics

YouTube - Moonlight Sonata

Mercury · 06-17-2010, 09:18 PM

Gotta say this one is a definite contender...

Kompressor · 06-17-2010, 09:22 PM

To start out with, I'd probably show you something old mixed with new, and bursting with raw talent.

AKA this

You would pick Abba

adventure · 06-17-2010, 09:32 PM

So by hearing no "music" what does that mean... human produced sounds...?

Bearsy · 06-18-2010, 12:41 AM

Organized sound with the intent of artistic and aesthetic appeal.

Wind and water are just sounds. There's no intent to the noise, it's random.
Birds are aesthetically appealing but technically they are just communicating.
Pick up lines and "Let's go get lunch" aren't considered music so I don't think birds should count.
Yes they are wonderful to hear; I leave my windows open 24/7 because they nest right by my window and it sounds awesome; but it's not music.
