I am wondering why you think that soulful vocals are the only thing that puts me off a song.

 

You said you dont like them and only like samples or instrumentals. ;)

 

My dance hell is tropical house and stuff like Rinse and Repeat and future bass stuff like Sex, Middle etc. I dont like 2010s deep house much either. Need U 100%, Look Right Through, Latch etc are dreadful for me it is just dull and uninteresting. Apart from a few tunes between 2013 and now, notably Calvin Harris Outside and Pray To God, 99 Souls - The Girl Is Mine, Clean Bandit and Louisa - Tears, Sigma and Take That - Cry, Cedric and Lana - Summertime Sadness and Aless o/1R If i Lose myself I dont like modern chart dance music much.

 

All the songs tend to sound the same in modern deep house whether it is Piece Of Me, Freak Like Me or Nothing Like This, it is a generic similar sounding vocal build up in the verses followed by the drop and the annoying chopped vocals. Compare that to deep hoise on the 2000s like Give It Away by Deepest Blue, and the Db Boulevard and Moony songs whichare smoother and have more difference between them and arent just about the drop like in the 2010s.

 

Future bass is worse, a dull vocal (see Middle, Sex) the Alvin and the Chipmunks effects in the drop.

 

As for tropical house it is not very uplifting for me ot just plods along with the same dull melody throughout with pan pipes which I have heard too much of in dance recently. Also tropical house is as much easy listening as dance so thats another reason why I dont like it.

As much as you hate the genre tropical house, your most "loved" words are "tropical" and "house" because these are the 2 words you used the most on the forum, in your posts since you've registered :heehee:

I don't hate all of it, Stereo Love in 2010 and Sunchyme in 1997 are great tropical house tunes. I really liked Unicorn Kid's True Love Fantasy and Just Don't Open Your Eyes Yet.

 

I thought my most loved words would be 'I', 'it' and 'and' as everyone else on this forum probably uses the most. You cant describe tropical house as anything other than 'tropical house ' though and this is one of the biggest genres at the minute so thats why i mention it quite a bit, even though i dislike it in its modern form.

I'm getting completely lost by all those tracks you named as I dont really follow commercial dance music any more.

 

I think you need some lessons in logic too. Just because I don't like soulful vocal house does not mean that I like everything that is NOT soulful vocal house. There's lots of other characteristics in dance music that I don't like.

So you didn't like late 2006 and 2007 either when soulful vocal house died out and electro started?

 

What, you don't know Alesso and One Republic's If I Lose Myself, one of the most trance influenced records of the decade which doesn't feature a female soulful vocal.

 

In the 2005 part of the thread there is a song that actually comes from the 90s which is mostly instrumental and came back as it was featured on an advert so you should like that btw. :)

I dont listen to modern chart music. I dont go to clubs. I don't listen to radio. The whole Avicii/Calvin Harris/David Guetta/Martin Garix/Alesso sound really bores me.

 

Having just listened to If I Lose Myself I can't say I care for it. As I said above - It NOT JUST SOULFUL VOCALS that put me off a dance song.

 

Just take it for granted that after 2001 I don't like very much.

OK so the modern dance music you would listen to would be underground dance stuff on beatport/soundcloud now under the trance category?

I think his point is that he doesn't listen to / like modern dance music of any description in general.
TheSnakes' obsession with Colm's music taste is slightly concerning... :unsure:

This is what I mean.

Black Legend - You See the Trouble with Me

 

31W2M5JC46L.jpg

 

Date 18th June 2000

2 Weeks

Official Chart Run 1-2-7-16-22-28-32-38-44-59-59-62-68-70-69-79

 

 

A cover of a Barry White track with the same title from 1976 interpolated with an instrumental dance track, this track falls under the genre tribal house. Black Legend are an Italian trio. It is not known why they are called Black Legend, but it may come from a term used to describe negative propaganda towards the Spanish in the 16th century.

 

It is a cover by the singer of Black Legend. Obviously the person who wrote the Wikipedia page about doesn't like the vocal as they described it as 'karaoke' which is generally when describing music, a term Simon Cowell would use as a criticism on The X Factor.

 

It narrowly missed out on the top 40 first in April 2000, reaching number 48, before reaching the top spot upon re-release in June. it would be interesting to know why the first release failed. Obviously it must have been withdrawn from sale between the first charting at number 48 and the second charting at number 1.

This Black Legend song is absolutely dreadful imo. For me it is how to ruin a brilliant, classic song. The vocals are chopped up and annoying, the instrumental beat is flat and dull. Barry White was right not to provide a vocal for this absolute mess of a track.Just not my sort of thing at all. Warning there is a worse cover of a classic dance anthem, which happens to be one of my favourite 90s tunes, coming soon on the thread.....

Now this is a song I don't get AT ALL. It just drones on & on & on without any climax and the whole thing just doesn't work... :/

Look at the top of the screen it says this

I think what I was doing was an example of music entertainment discussion :lol:

The original was fantastic though.

 

For good remixes of disco tracks see 2004-2006, at least the remixes then had atmospheric fade outs and build ups and it wasn't monotone.

Oh well I daren't say we'll be seeing the like in this thread in good time ;) the disco house revival is very much something I'm looking forward to following here!
2000 really did have a lot of dance #1s. Bound 4 Da Reload and You See The Trouble With Me have never really gotten on my radar and seem really bizarre #1s looking back, Black Legend in particular has good vocals but fairly awful beats, but Madison Avenue and Sonique are lovely gems.
