    This looks really interesting but unfortunately it's not in English.

    Chris Cornell did an interview once where he was talking about how college rock used to be these weird records that nobody ever really heard that a if they got placed on the radio it was at 3 am by some kid doing a show out of his dorm but then college rock became alternative rock and alternative rock became mainstream and then he said what are we the alternative too, what's not on the radio.

    I was curious so I used the old Google machine.

    I think the difference between Collective Soul and a lot of those bands is that their music could have been played in the 80s on the radio right next to the bands that I grew up loving. It's funny because I got a digital press kit for Dosage because I was a top reviewer on Garage Band and it was all about how Collective Soul had kept rock n roll alive and it referred to them as active rock multiple times. That was the first and last time I heard the term.

    I hate that Collective Soul is considered alternate. When they were popular they were promoted as active rock, which I'm not sure what that is but it sounds a lot closer what they do than alternate rock. To me, alternative is REM and Pavement and the like.

    The reason I mentioned Alter Bridge and Scott Stapp's solo stuff is because I don't think it's too far off from Creed. Myles Kennedy obviously has a more dynamic voice than Stapp but musically they're very similar. At the end of the day as I've said I love this site and if Dan decided to strip it down to the bare bones and build a site from the ground up starting with Journey and Poison and I would still support it.

    I get the idea of keeping the site pure but if you look at the genres of music on HH listed on the site not even all of them fit into the AOR/Melodic Rock sub genres and if you submit a cd there's even more categories. If the site was strictly AOR & Melodic Rock it would still be an amazing database but it's also, sleaze, glam, southern rock, blues rock, hard rock and modern hard rock and there's a lot more to those genres to explore.

    I honestly think so. I submitted the 2 Chronicle cds today.

    I agree completely. I love the site and I love being able to contribute but at the end of the day I think it's in very capable hands.

    I'm really just trying to compare them to bands that are already on the site. There's so many bands that I love that I know have no place on the site but I think some of these ones do.
  15. Dramarama
    Oh and Poco

    So obviously you know that my idea of hard rock, sleaze and glam is quite a bit different from a lot of people who frequent the site and I also have a more encompassing view of AOR as well but here's my take: America: Absolutely I think they fit as either lite AOR or Hard Rock in some spots. Christopher Cross: Yes, although he is soft rock I would have to say that he also falls into the category of AOR. Air Supply: Same as Christopher Cross but with some pomp influence too. Collective Soul: Collective Soul is a modern classic rock band imo and absolutely should be on the site. Live: nope Creed: I would say yes, it's weird that Alter Bridge and Scott Stapp's solo stuff is on the site but Creed isn't. Stone Temple Pilots: I'd say yes. Especially from Purple on. Goo Goo Dolls: They're one of my favorite bands but I don't think they fit here. Alice in Chains: Big no. Soundgarden: Maybe, they have big guitars and soaring vocals. Pearl Jam: See Soundgarden. Nirvana: No Mudhoney: I love Mudhoney with all my heart but they don't belong here. Kid Rock (Rock and southern rock releases only): I hate Kid Rock but if Andrew W.K. is here he probably should be too. Genesis: The Peter Gabriel stuff for sure. Pink Floyd: Yes Emerson, Lake, & Palmer (Powell): Yes The Rolling Stone: Absolutely The Beatles: Yes Also, I'd like to see Creedence, ELO and a few others on the site as well.

    Was A Rebel Few removed from the site. It was definitely heavier than a lot of the stuff on here but it's a great album.
  18. Dramarama
    I've never checked out Brutal Metal. Maybe I should sounds like there might be some bands I dig over there.
  19. Dramarama
    Thanks

    I've got 5 cds I was planning on submitting tonight. 3 of them I'm confident fit (even though I could be wrong) the other 2 are The Witness by Meytal and Get It by The Lashes I think that they both could have a place on the site but I also feel like they could be rejected. To me the Lashes are similar to Jet and the Struts and are just a sleazy, fun rock band and Meytal is great modern hard rock with killer vocals, great harmonies and beyond competent musicians. They remind me of Nickelback and Daughtry a bit.

    I appreciate you taking the time to address my submissions. I'm really not trying to submit borderline stuff as I said in our DMs I'm going through my extensive CD collection and if I come across something that I think fits I submit it. In case you couldn't tell I'm pretty disappointed that the Datsuns weren't given the greenlight because I think there's quite a few bands on HH who they have things in common with sonically but as I said in my previous post I respect the decision of everyone involved. I really enjoy HH and I've found so many great bands on the site. I'm really just trying to help others do the same. Do you suggest that I post threads about releases that I want to submit before I submit them or should I just try to work on submitting the right stuff?

    What are everyone's thoughts on The Blues Rock Queen Ali Handal? She's sighted Aerosmith as a huge influence and actually plays in an Aerosmith cover band and has done work Tony Franklin. I definitely think she fits on the site. I'm curious to hear other people's thoughts. https://youtu.be/wOLjZ4APIDs?si=fEzr3-jRLpbvehH5

    Definitely never thought they were AOR, was putting them on the hard rock side of things.

    I mean Harmonic Generator??? This track is dripping with 70s sleazy goodness but legitimately I leave it to the masses and throw myself on the mercy of the court :-) honestly, I'm just playing around. My whole point on submitting these bands is because I feel like they belong AND that the folks who frequent the site will enjoy them. If they don't/won't then by all means they shouldn't be included.
  25. Dramarama
    I don't think you'd ever hear a solo like this in a punk song but obviously this is your site and punk DEFINITELY doesn't belong, I just really don't see The Datsuns as a punk band but if that's where you think they fall then I withdraw my submission. https://youtu.be/o_DHCL2Q2d0?si=LLyuc4pH--tSFfMZ
