Most of the discussions about music seem to center around male musicians. I can't remember having a discussion of female musicians, so here one is. Which female musician is your favorite? Why? EDIT: Poll options based off female artists in the top 1000 albums at rateyourmusic.com

So, 2011 has almost come to a close and almost every site and source has offered their list of the best albums of 2011. Which albums did you like the best this year? There were several albums I liked this year, but by far my favorite was Let England Shake by PJ Harvey. Here is the title...

Sampling is used frequently in many types of music, most prominently hip-hop and electronic music, but not infrequently in pop and rock music as well. It is the re-appropriation of a segment of a piece or song of music in another piece or song of music. One example of a commonly sampled...

I have tried mod after mod after mod, but I can't get any of them to work. Some examples include Leoreth's RFC Modmod, RFC Asia, and Fall From Heaven II. I install them correctly, and then when I load them from the main screen, the BtS screen disappears as normal. Then, a notice comes up...

This is something I've been thinking about a lot recently: what is new wave, and what distinguishes it from, say, punk, post-punk, synth-pop, pop-rock, etc.? For example, allmusic.com says, "Where post-punk was arty, difficult, and challenging, new wave was pop music, pure and simple."...

Sometimes, when I'm discussing music with my friend, we get into an argument over Radiohead. He says he finds them incredibly boring because he can't understand their lyrics and the ones he can make out are impossible to understand without having a ton of background. I point out that Sigur Rós...

Happy 16th Birthday you! :woohoo: :bday: :beer:

I've been wanting to listen to 20th Century classical music recently, and as CFC has many people informed on classical music, I thought it'd be a good place to ask for some recommendations. What are some particularly good, famous, influential, or just personal favorite pieces or composers from...

When putting another leaderhead's mustache on a leaderhead, which bone to you rig the moustache to? Thanks.

I tried, and failed, on my old computer to make an LH a couple of times before quitting due to frustration. A few days ago, I decided, because I have a different computer now, to have another go at Ekmek's LH tutorial. So I started off by making this LH, Hadrian, basically a slightly modified...

I did a quick search on this, and I hope it's not a duplicate thread. Anyways, the exploratory committees have been formed, and the 2012 campaign seems to be moving into action. My question is who do you think the GOP will nominate in 2012? Newt Gingrich has actually formed an exploratory...

I am somewhat OCD about the genres my songs are listed as in iTunes. I would like to know how you determine the genres of songs in your iTunes or other music playing program and how specific you like to be. Thanks.

The popular band the Red Hot Chili Peppers has a number of albums, most good, quite a few very good. I would like to know which one is your favorite album and why. What do I mean? I mean overall best; whether by artistic merit, entertainment value, or simply you like the most.

How does building obsoletion work? For example, if you never research a technology, but every other civ does, do the buildings still obsolete?

For my mod, I'm giving each culture group their own settler, worker, and maybe a couple of other units. However, I'm having difficulty in doing so. Could someone please explain how to add flavor units in the editor? Thank you.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! :beer::beer::beer::bday:

The other thread had poor options and was not multiple-choice. Here are the options (examples provided with the rock subgenres, as they are not self-explanatory like the others): European Classical/Traditional Eastern/Other Classical/Traditional Folk World Latin Jazz Blues Country R&B...

As most of you know, last year, Harmonix made "The Beatles: Rock Band", a music videogame specific to the Beatles (only Beatles music, characters, videos, locations, etc.). In a few days, Harmonix will release "Green Day: Rock Band", a similar game made of Green Day. I would like to know 1...

I wanted to know what would you consider the best studio album released by Nirvana. Options: 1. Bleach (1989) 2. Nevermind (1991) 3. In Utero (1993)

Unfortunately, there are only 5 culture groups, as you all know. So India is lumped in with China and Japan. The city style looks ridiculous for India (and pretty ridiculous for China and Japan as well). So I am asking: what region's architecture would be most appropriate for China, India...
