[Ducati]

Bad Religion - No Control
Depeche Mode - ( they have way to many to name )

[Anonymouse]

Bad Religion is godawful. They should have just stayed as the whiney little garage punk band that they rightfully are. "Oh look at me I can sing about politically charged stuff and act like I'm unique and 'using my haead and not thinking like the masses'. Aren't we so damn zany?"

Miles Davis: "Birth of the Cool" (1949)

Get the tune "Boplicity"

Funny thing is, this album really WAS the birth of the cool jazz movement of the early 50's. I dont know how Miles did it... in the last year of every decade, he would release an album that would define the music of the following decade. Examples:

1949 - Birth of the Cool - defined the "cool jazz" movement of the 50's. Influenced artists such as the Dave Brubeck Quartet, the Modern Jazz Quartet (M.J.Q.), etc.

1959 - Kind of Blue - defined the "modal jazz" movement of the 60's. Influenced artists such as Herbie Hanc0ck, Wayne Shorter, John Coltrane, McCoy Tyner, etc.

also 1959! - Sketches of Spain - was an extremely important contribution to the Third Stream style, fusing classical compositional techniques & instrumentation with jazz rhythm section & improvisation.

1969 - B!tches Brew AND In a Silent Way - both these albums defined the "jazz-rock-fusion" movement of the 70's which is still to this day enjoying a very strong presence. A great witness to the significance of these albums is the lineup of SO MANY up-and-coming and some already established stars who between them would develop the shape of jazz-rock-fusion in the 70's: Herbie Hanc0ck (el.pno), Chick Corea (el.pno), Joe Zawinul (organ/el.pno), Dave Holland (dbl.bass), John McLaughlin (el.gtr), Wayne Shorter (sop.sax), Tony Williams (dr), Jack DeJohnette (dr), Bennie Maupin (bs.clar), Larry Young (el.pno), Lenny White (dr), Don Alias (perc), Airto Moreira (perc), Harvey Brooks (el.bass), Jimmy Riley(perc), Jumma Santos (perc).
