What are you listening to right now?

Ok young ones....honest question.  I love good guitarists.

Prince was amazing and, I honestly think, underappreciated while he was alive.

What young musicians can do this?  I hear the music my kids listen to and I don't hear or see musicians being able to do live music like this.  I'm sure they are out there and I just don't know them.  So....who?

Short answer: yeah there are probably a lot of guitarists that could do what he does in the video. I don't know that they will look as cool though lol

What do you kids listen to? I'm guessing more pop-like music where there isn't a lot of instrumental work?

I'm glad you posed the question though cuz I went down a rabbit hole on YouTube






Some of the stuff these guys are doing is pretty wild. Probably not what you're looking for BRB, but I though it was pretty cool

I think she looks better than Prince while doing it.   :D


These artists are pretty amazing.  But, my question was more about popular artists that are amazing musicians.  I've spent more time than I care to admit in a bar on Bourbon Street till wee hours of the morning to know there are some amazing musicians down there on small stages.

BRB's post got me thinking about guitarists.  Honestly for me besides Jimi, Jerry and EVH my favorite guitarists I find often times are not people who play the most notes the fastest and the loudest etc but rather guitarists who have their own style, tone and know how to really fill a song.  Playing moreso to blend in with the song rather than to stick out more for lack of a better description.  

That is why (one of many reasons) I love Willie Nelson so much.  Just him playing Trigger his acoustic guitar in any band.  He will never win any technical awards but man I just love the way he plays.

Another great album this year is about Amy Winehouse being a battle rapper. Lupe Fiasco's album Samurai is 30 minutes long in total and well worth a listen!

 
If you want to listen to the weirdest, most punk rock boundary pushing hip hop record of the year, this new JPEGMAFIA album may be for you. It is not for the faint of heart but what absolute carnage! 

 
I don't listen to much pop usually but... Sabrina Carpenter's lyrics just crack me the hell up. Also she's really horny.

Come right on me, I mean camaraderie

Said you're not in my timezone, but you wanna be

Where art thou? Why not uponeth me?

See it in my mind, let's fulfill the prophecy
