Can't believe that I didn't mention Bert Jansch, my absolute favourite.

I've just taken a look at my last.fm profile, and the only remarkable guitar players I found were B0lly, Johnny Greenwood and St. Vincent.
I actually really like Sweeney's work with Zwan and Superwolf. Tasteful, emotional stuff. But I wouldn't necessarily includ |

BTW motherfucking ANDY GILLS
He has the best approach to the instrument as well as being a creative genius. He doesn't play into that "guitar hero" thing that makes Rock boring. "What I always find uninspiring is when guitarists treat the rest of the band as a background over which they show off, so the guitar playing isn’t part of the intrinsic sound that the bass and drums and other instruments are making. The sort of image I had in mind was that everything was side by side – the drums had to work around the guitar riff, which had to work around the bass riff, which had to work around this semi-chanted lyrical thing, which worked around the drums – each element had to work with the other parts of the band.” |

all those athletes guitar players work this way. The music is inconsequential, it's just about how many "cool" solos they can put on the background music

first thing to pop into mind would be jazz guitarist george benson. he's a jazz guitarist. what should his albums consist of if not featured guitar playing? that would be like listening to "foot village" and complaining there is too much drumming. i just think that within the right context it's perfectly okay to watch/listen someone showcase their skills on an instrument. most of the type i would rather listen to that than somebody crying into a microphone. |

i don't know what happened but somewhere along the way i started hating lead singers or traditional frontman-centric bands and started looking at singing from a completely different perspective. can't really explain it very well. maybe it's because i myself am not really interested in singing.
i guess what i'm trying to say is that once i learned that the lead singer-guitar(s)-bass-drums format was not the end-to-be-all of music (in fact it is rather primitive) i pretty much left that format behind. which sounds like BS because i'm staring at a handful of 80s sha na na (the style not the band although the style is named after the band) records but then again those are like 13 piece funk/soul bands only it's a bunch of white guys in their 30s and 40s not exactly the gin blossoms. |

i'm just thinking about this out loud but it seems very demanding of a frontman or a frontman and flashy guitarist to attempt to captivate and hypnotize an audience for an hour more (length of a common album or so) it almost seems like more of a spectacle or a linear plot like watching a movie. i think there are very very few performers that can actually achieve this shamanistic effect, as opposed to song structure after song structure after song structure. i am usually wiped out after listening to an album like that and need to hit the reset button on my brain.
i am reminded of the term "horror vaculi" the fear of white space, and so much popular music just isn't afforded any room to breathe and in fact a lot of it is at a speed twice the rate of the human heart. it's too fast and too crowded and too loud and i honestly don't think that it's healthy to receive repeated exposure to such music. i am much more interested in bands or groups that are interested in carving out spaces in time for the listener, 120BPM and less, and giving both the audience and the music a space to exist. |

I understand what you're saying but I think of popular music as a whole separate animal than traditional music like a 12 piece and they're enjoyable for totally different reasons

not that i care - my original point i was trying to make but maybe forgot to mention was that it's pretty dang easy to ignore things that you don't or wouldn't care about it's not like these things are forcing themselves into anyone's life (unless maybe you watch a lot of tv?)
like i'm not at the grocery all mad because my favorite music isn't playing. i mean even the people that are bitching about, for example idk kesha, are still living in a world where kesha matters. it doesn't make sense to me. it would be like going to papau new guinea and trying to have a britney spears/madonna/legacy argument with the members of the tribe. it just completely loses all significance and meaning. |

I tend to listen for the use of vocal sounds and melody more than I do lyrics.

I like when you can really hear a vocalists personality through their voice which I kind of get more through the speak-sing chant type of vocals rather than the actual belting it out on key singing

i just think that vocals should be treated like any other instrument, instead of worshipping lead singers. it would be just like if instead of listening to music with a lead singer you only listened to music with a lead violin. eventually you would be like ok i really only like few players the rest of it i can give a toss about. and do you really even like violins to begin with |

Absolutely, every part should be tastefully incorporated into the whole
But when I do get really into vocalists it has to do with what they're saying which I think adds a whole other dimension to music |
