Do you consider yourself a sheep or a pioneer?

hotsumrchild	Date: September 10, 2003 @ 3:26 PM Rhett Miller ([url]http://rhettmiller.com) Joe Firstman (New guy [url]http://joefirstman.com/ opening for Sheryl Crow. AMAZING) Lucinda Williams ([url]http://www.lucindawilliams.com/home.html) " id="61849">I like to think of myself as being pretty hip to new music. I don't really follow the herd, but instead have a good sense of my own individual tastes. In fact, I rarely listen to the radio anymore and I usually have a few new favorite artists every couple of months or so that most people don't even know about yet. I'm not saying that makes me better than other people, just more picky about what I listen to. Do you think you're more of a pioneer of music taste? If so, what are some of the bands or artists you ""discovered"" on your own? These are a few of the most recent singers that I got into months ago that are now getting noticed by everyone else: Rhett Miller ([url]http://rhettmiller.com) Joe Firstman (New guy [url]http://joefirstman.com/ opening for Sheryl Crow.

hotsumrchild	Date: September 10, 2003 @ 3:27 PM Sorry about the double post. It took a long time to show up, so I thought I had to re-post it. Besides, I got my links right in this one, so please delete the other one instead!
milladrive	Date: September 10, 2003 @ 3:28 PM No worries. It happens. heh
victorsskull	Date: September 10, 2003 @ 4:01 PM I am a pioneer
Izekial	Date: September 10, 2003 @ 6:02 PM I'm a buccaneer. I've always liked pop music. I didn't discover Nirvana before they were popular. Most underground stuff is underground for a reason: It sucks. I'm not one sided about it, of course. I like Anarchrist, X, Stink and Linger, The Cramps, Reload, Oblivion Seekers, etc. too, but I happen upon good shadow bands by chance. I don't watch TV or listen to the radio, so a band has to be all over the place for me to notice them (either that or a friend directs me to something). The Strokes, for instance, are one of my favorite bands right now. They're coming out with a new album too! Them and A Perfect Circle. I can't wait.
invocati	Date: September 10, 2003 @ 6:15 PM I tend to do both... Follow the herd sometimes and other times be what you call a pioneer.
pog	Date: September 10, 2003 @ 7:22 PM same... Im a sheepish pioneer
sinai	Date: September 10, 2003 @ 8:30 PM i dunno exactly, i mean, i seemed to fall into loving rap metal loooong before it blew up and became the shite it is today, but hell mebbe i dunt know taste from shit, cause i seemed to have missed the boat on that whole white stripes/strokes/vines/ bands, to me that stuff is some assy ass. underground bands that are cool? motograter, twiztid, clown
GeneHilbert	Date: September 10, 2003 @ 11:08 PM I don't think in terms of trends or fads. Or what's style is presently hot. That's to me seems shallow, dated, and a complete waste of time. My music flows through me, I'm not interested in belaboring over it. Sometimes I have to direct it, but most of the time it streams out so fast I can barely stay ahead far enough to keep it organized and cohesive. The piece itself dictates style and where it wants to go. So I suppose the answer would be that while my heard is protected - I'm not opposed to throwing one to the wolves and joining in the feast.
sstrader	Date: September 11, 2003 @ 1:02 AM Maybe that's the fallacy of the "artist"--that you must be one or the other. Let's not be naive: we stand on others' shoulders as we try to burst through the ceiling. It's a delicate balance of both.
Cryxan	Date: September 11, 2003 @ 4:44 AM I don't follow trends and pop too closely, though I don't shun it. My listening tastes are quite diverse, as I enjoy many styles. I listen to the music of many different countries. I enjoy being able to identify languages and become familiar with them, sometimes even learn to sing songs in a language I don't understand. That's fun. Folk music of other nations can be a little harder to get used to, so about the only folk I listen to is from the eastern European countries, for now, but I'm constantly adding new music to my playlists.
hotsumrchild	Date: September 11, 2003 @ 2:33 PM Eventually, anything good will become popular. Joe Firstman insn't widely known yet, so he's somewhat "underground" or whatever you want to call it, and I can say I'm somewhat of a pioneer for knowing about him. However, it won't be long before he's all over the radio and tv. However, this is not to say that everything popular is good. But everything generically good does eventually become popular.

hotsumrchild	Date: September 12, 2003 @ 4:51 PM Has anyone else here heard Joe Firstman's music yet, or am I the only one?
invocati	Date: September 12, 2003 @ 7:02 PM I don't think that everything good as far as music becomes popular. Whats good anyhow??? It is all a matter of opinion. What you think is good I might think is trash.
azhazhellfire	Date: September 13, 2003 @ 4:54 AM mp3.com, i would've called myself a pioneer. but after that i just stopped bothering and went back to listening to music tv between adverts to find decent tracks." id="62048">well i'm more of a sheep really. i used to listen to a lot of indy stuff and back in the days of the real mp3.com, i would've called myself a pioneer. but after that i just stopped bothering and went back to listening to music tv between adverts to find decent tracks.
azhazhellfire	Date: September 13, 2003 @ 4:57 AM by listening to that cd am i a sheep or a pioneer? :think: note: i didn't buy the cd, i downloaded it, so you can all put the guns down now." id="62049">btw, if you avn't got the "a beautiful mind" soundtrack, get it. it's the best. by listening to that cd am i a sheep or a pioneer? note: i didn't buy the cd, i downloaded it, so you can all put the guns down now.
DanLSweZ	Date: September 25, 2003 @ 10:51 AM I am going along w/ tha flow of a current going upstream, It may be a different course of action, but it pays tha bills.
CountryMusikMan	Date: October 8, 2003 @ 12:14 AM Let's face it I am a sheep man I folllow the pioneers in my genre Brother
mracky	Date: October 11, 2003 @ 1:42 PM I agree with GeneHilbert and go with the internal flow. In my genre thats like a wolf in sheep's clothing, or a pioneer addicted to Woolite.
CowgirlBebop	Date: October 11, 2003 @ 2:55 PM With what I listen to? A sheep. If you consider listening to Monteverdi and Orlando Gibbons as sheep behavior. I don't listen to new stuff, I listen to really old stuff. So there. With what I play? When my group sings and it's stuff I've written, I'm probably still a sheep, since it _sounds_ like Monteverdi and Gibbons.

Arthen	Date: October 12, 2003 @ 3:07 AM " id="64998">I don't think there's actually such a thing as a pioneer. Pioneers are actually (and i can safely say always) 10 times more improved sheep from the previous herds and generations. And they're not genetically enhanced. Think about it. And i'm also not sure who said it; but it goes "the key to innovativity and creativity is being able to mask out traces of its origin".
Jesuszilla	Date: October 13, 2003 @ 6:29 AM I am what I am and what I am is what I am. Got that cracka ass sucka?
CowgirlBebop	Date: October 13, 2003 @ 12:46 PM innovativity?
mracky	Date: October 13, 2003 @ 2:34 PM reminds me of Woody Allen's line: the key to a successful relationship is maturiosity.
JFF	Date: October 13, 2003 @ 2:48 PM baaaah
kredd	Date: October 17, 2003 @ 5:19 PM everyone is influenced by someone or something...so it's more of invention or innovation. i'd have to say we are all innovators...unless you are a sheep following another innovator...then you're a poser and should be flogged repeatedly about the head and shoulders.

RasMasta	Date: October 19, 2003 @ 4:37 PM Pioneer
Lcrowley	Date: October 21, 2003 @ 12:09 AM I guess I am a pioneer .. lol.. I tend to NOT like what others do.. By the Way Lucinda RAWKS !! ha ha ha .. I really do not do the main stream thing much at all .. I am a Independent girl all the way .. I listen and buy pretty much all independent and have for the last 3 years .. with a few exceptions .. like Pat Green .. Corry Morrow.. Ray Wylie Hubbard .. Cross Canadian Ragweed .. ok there is a trend there .. so I am in to Texas Music .. what can I say I am a native Texan .. heheheh .. great topic ! Lana
Dizeazed	Date: October 21, 2003 @ 4:40 AM I'm definitely a pioneer! Who wants to make music and create work that's already been done before...? I mean, everyone does a cover song once in a while, but when it comes down to your personal tracks, come on! Everyone should put somethin' into their own music that should make their sound 'unique'. If you consider yourself a sheep... you belong listenin' to music; and not wastin' space here postin' it. -Peace-
Thaspian	Date: October 21, 2003 @ 7:35 AM Karmatic. He's a to Mr. Gates.
podyman	Date: October 22, 2003 @ 12:10 AM Of course, I'm pioneer!
CountryMusikMan	Date: October 28, 2003 @ 8:07 PM Pat Green Is Terrible Your a Sheep
Lcrowley	Date: October 28, 2003 @ 9:31 PM Well, Everyone has different tastes .. I tend to like off the beat type tunage .. may not be your cup of tea .. but Pat Green is awesome live .. I have seen him numerous times ..
