Often individual operas from the Ring cycle are independently performed. I will say, though, that though a novice I found the cycle to be riveting, and not a minute of it tedious. I highly recommend it. It's one of those events that stay with you forever.

As a result in many circumstances the craft is the art, while moral mavens debate the relative value of the idea. |

The medium is only relevant in that it provides the wow, neeto, cool superlatives needed to adorn the idea … ultimately the medium will weigh down the idea and hold it captive, thus transforming the idea into a categorical component of human deference … it’s at this point the idea must sever it’s ties to the chasms of the artists mind and remain forever beholden to the whims of the observer of the art object.
There is no better example of such phenomenon than the rhetorical perversion, perpetrated by craftsman called musicians on music. |

I didn't want to dumb down the end of this thread too much, but, at the same time, I didn't want to start a redundant one either, so here are my six:
New Order – Low Life. Great post-punk electronic music. So many current bands copy their style. Power, Corruption and Lies still holds up today. Saw them live in Berkley. The Stone Roses – The Stone Roses. Beat-based Oasis, before Oasis. Public Enemy – ‘Nation of Millions. P.E., along with KRS1/BDP, substance-based rap. Saw them live in Sacto. Violent Femmes - Violent Femmes. They only made one good album, but it was a great one. The Chameleons, UK – Strange Days. moody, semi-psychedelic, UK-based alt rock. Jane's Addiction - Nothing's Shocking. The best of LA’s post-modern-semi-punk. |
