unopescio Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Maybe you shouldve asked him instead of asking us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonnyBlack Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 He's the lead singer of the Rolling Stones. For future reference, since you had his name and the internet right in front of you, a simple google search would have been a better idea instead of making this topic.

Marlowe. Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I'm confused here. Did the shirt say: "Who is Mick Jagger?" Or just simply: "Mick Jagger" Do YOU not know who Mick Jagger is? Or are you outraged the guy wearing the shirt may not know who Mick Jagger is? Short answer: Lead singer for The Rolling Stones Long answer: Wikipedia: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mick_Jagger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Half the people who heard the song 'Moves Like Jagger' and use his name as an indication of swag have no idea who he is/was, so I'm sure that's where the shirt came from. That, or ironic hipsters who are mocking the general population. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slamman Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 The Moves Like Jagger thang, however, anyone see the Julian Temple long form Running Out of Luck? The movie features Jagger shanghaied in Rio, and trying to get back to where he's a known pop star, pretty fun flick, and seems relatable really. The music is from his then current She's the Boss LP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beat me to it. I'm actually a fan of the song so when I talked about the song with my friends, they'll be like "Who's Mick?" I even had a cousin who searched up Mr.Jagger on Youtube once and she was shocked to find that guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slamman Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Mr. Pain, that's just FRIGGIN SAD! That's why I don't listen to modern music, it has no roots in the past, and you have to have some perspective. The whole Moves like Jagger thing confounds me since it doesn't sound like him, basically, like The Eagles of Death Metal, I like the name concept, but the music has no relation to the concept in the name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 it has no roots in the past, and you have to have some perspective. 1) the song you're talking about is basically Adam Levine giving kudos to how cool he thinks Mick Jagger is. 2) almost every genre of music is influenced by what the artist listened to when they were younger, take for instance Lady Gaga's newest cd Born This Way which is basically a concept album of every pop movement in the 80s. 3) you have no perspective.

ska Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 That's why I don't listen to modern music, it has no roots in the past, and you have to have some perspective. That's the funniest thing I've ever heard. I always love it when people claim that 'current music' is terrible when they're only basing their opinion off of what they hear on pop charts. And yes, most pop music is rather horrid, but it hardly accounts for any of the music produced in the industry today. You're just being simple minded and arrogant by saying otherwise. Then again, I wouldn't expect you to understand, Slammy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slamman Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 (edited) Guib, whatever his name is, He was rating all my songs horribly, or it was JosephX, anywho, I'd posted a Mick Jagger song in that topic last, and I'll be posting more of his excellent music. During the late 70s, the promos for the Rolling Stones showed Mick. BTW, Tyler, I have plenty of perspective, I was born in 1966. The fact is I know the musical era's changed, not for the better. Just read YouTube, plenty of people of all ages believe the same as me. Popular music is what we're talking about, not the Underground scene, at least I am The Rolling Stones are deemed the Greatest Rock and Roll Band of all time, they are NOT underground, non popular artists Something for fun, while on the subject ^ Edited January 6, 2012 by Slamman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinski Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 (edited) BTW, Tyler, I have plenty of perspective, I was born in 1966. The fact is I know the musical era's changed, not for the better. Just read YouTube, plenty of people of all ages believe the same as me. Not exactly, you had the potential to reach this point with a lot of perspective. But your music taste is so narrow and tight that you can only appreciate that your type of music isn't catered for very well these days. You can't deny the narrowness of it, just look up your posts in the Rate The Song topic, they're all from a very slim period of time and genre. As for people on YT backing you up: 1) that's a terrible group of people to choose to back up your argument and 2) People are far more likely to leave an anonymous comment deriding something rather than praising it, doubly so if said thing is popular. That's just how the internet works. Like I've said before, music these days hasn't stagnated, much the opposite actually. Think about what having YouTube, iTunes, Spotify and all those other things, along with cheaper tools and methods of creating and distributing music has done. It has allowed more people to become more exposed to more previous generations of music. Being exposed to so much allows for a myriad of concoctions to be created, and with music creation accessibility ever increasing, there's more people to create it. Never let anybody tell you that music today is sh*t. Whether that's today, tomorrow or in 20 years time. There will always be music you like being made by someone somewhere, you just have to look for it. PS: I quite like that Moves Like Jagger song. It reminded me that Christian Aguilera can really sing, too. Edited January 6, 2012 by Robinski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vercetti27 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 yes, popular music these days in disgusting , I think we all know where the better music is and it isn't in the charts. As for the "moves like jagger" song I find it as cringeworthy as the duck soup "barbara streisand" song. What is that about anyway ? Are they trying to get lots of internet hits by naming a song after a famous musician from the past? The lyrics are empty and devoid of meaning too, but of course lyrics don't mean anything to a large portion of the youtube generation does it....

Tyler Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I don't think you're getting the point of Duck Sauce's song. It's not about the lyrics. They're an electro music group, so lyrical depth isn't what they're going for. Also the only thing they say is Barbra Streisand, so of course it sounds empty.

mrpain Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Mr. Pain, that's just FRIGGIN SAD! You're sad. I'm actually baffled with my generation's knowledge's of music. I mean, how can I know all these great acts in the past while my friends are completely clueless about the past. I'm like the only person in my class that listens to the likes of AC/DC, Gorillaz, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, you know, the good stuff. None of my friends have no clue who are those bands at all. So when I discovered that it was my friends' first time of hearing this Mick Jagger, all I could ever think was "How the hell do you guys not know while I do?" I played them Gimme Shelter and they disliked it. They DISLIKED IT. Like Robinski, I quite like the Moves Like Jagger song too. Christina fits in so perfectly and the tempo really is catchy. The only two songs I like from Maroon 5 is this and Harder To Breathe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhoda Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I'm like the only person in my class that listens to the likes of AC/DC, Gorillaz, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, you know, the good stuff. None of my friends have no clue who are those bands at all. That's a really jaded perception though. I could make the same statement that would ring true with many people. "I'm like the only person in my class that listens to the likes of Guided By Voices, Paul Simon, Neutral Milk Hotel, you know, the good stuff. None of my friends have no clue who are those bands at all." I respect your tastes. I don't share them so much, but I respect them. I find the bands you listed incredibly boring. They may have talent, and indeed they do, but I can't say they play things I like to listen to. By labeling it "the good stuff" you're immediately implying that anything else isn't. AC/DC have something going for them and it works, but that's only because (to me) they've been putting out the same album for 15 years. If you were to assemble a playlist of AC/DC songs from different albums, I'd have a hard time telling you what album they were from and indeed, what period of singer they were written with. As for RHCP, I like their instrumentation but Anthony Keidis ruins it with his "GOOD GOD! WUBBAWUBBAWUBBA WIT MY CALIFORNIA DICK" infliction when he sings. The dude needs to calm down. I'm not going out to personally attack your taste. That isn't my aim, and nor is it to say the bands I listed in my quote are the best, I'm just saying it's easy to appeal to different fan groups by listing bands that have a dedicated fan-base. You'll get someone that may substitute Pendulum, Skrillex or Camo & Krooked in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrpain Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Oh god, should have not used the phrase the good stuff, does the used to be popular stuff sounds more suitable? Like you know, music that was popular back in the day, way before I was born I guess. I somehow know them and most of my friends don't. I admit, those were really a vague selection of bands I chose.

Tyler Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 The Gorillaz are still quite popular and Red Hot Chili Pepper's new album is pretty f*cking high on the charts. AC/DC may not be as popular as they were but plenty of general population knows at least one AC/DC song. Not to completely destroy your statement, I get what you're trying to say. Obviously, since we live in different areas and different age groups our peers are going to be listening to completely different things. I used to mostly complain about my friends not listening to enough things either, and I still think about it a lot. But now I just slowly add new artists to their playlists by introducing them song by song. Gorillaz included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheat Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 As far as I see it, everyone who calls some specific sort of music good music is f*cking ignorant.

Well, you could make an objective opinion about a song based on lyrics, originality and of course genre. But lyrics really depend on the genre, if it's an important part of it, it should also determine the quality of the song.

Of course you can make an objective opinion about a song based on whatever factors you base your opinions on, but the thing is that an opinion is always an individual's outlook on something and thus cannot be perceived as an universally correct perception.

3niX Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Well... Objectively I could call grind/death metal sh*t... The lyrics (even if you could understand them) are beyond crass and the technicality of the songs is either so complex that you wouldnt be able to grasp half a percent of it or so fast and simple that you could recreate the sound with a bicycle and some baseball cards. However, many people (including me) like certain songs from that genre. I also like Victor Wooten, Metallica, Arvo Pärt, Ice Cube, Gorillaz, Frank Sinatra etc. etc. Its not about what you like but rather if you like it... Some might like the Twilight series but loathe Schindlers List... it wont make their opinion any less valid (though hard to understand perhaps). Good music is everywhere, you just cant expect it to be delivered on a silver platter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slamman Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 (edited) I could call all pop, rap, hip hop sh*t music as well, because overall I hate it, very few exceptions. Fact is, I'm the Slamman for my METAL praising tendencies, but this is really about the Who Is? style t-shirts. The people making such shirts likely are in on the joke, the meaning, but it's meant to make people wonder about the question. Each person wearing such a t-shirt could know or might even NOT know about the Beatles OR the Stones!?! @Robinski, my taste in music is NOT closed minded, I posted songs I think are the best in the Rate a Song topic, that doesn't account for all I listen to. @Mr. Pain, I said the statement is sad, not "you're sad", as you did, level an insult directed toward me. People have a right to their own favorite music, I'll be damned if you tell me differently!! Edited January 9, 2012 by Slamman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
