What is the worst note in music?
« on: February 21, 2013, 10:15:28 AM »
Thirty-one seconds into the classic 90's dance floor filler 'Hideway' singer De Lacy makes a noise that sounds like she's vomiting into a metal waste paper bin.

Ladies and gentlemen I give you the worst note in music history.

A lot of people think that C# is one of, if not THE worst notes.

I say they're just copy cat wannabe Philistines who can't make their own minds up.

C# has stood the test of time and I think it will be a while yet before it's dropped from the musical scale or even relagated down to the far end that most people generally ignore.

C#M is Johnny Marr's favorite chord and god bless him for that.

C#maj7 is a solid, solid chord, and a great place to go to after E or A.

D# on the other hand is pointless and should be removed from all instruments past or present.

When I was young because I was tall our music teacher forced me to play the double bass.

Like putting the 'fat kid' in goal is good enough for a lot of PE teachers being the tallest lad in the class is a curse that usually winds up with you playing the double bass.

I had no musical aptitude at all and couldn't fathom where the notes ont he page were on the strings.

It's only now that I realise that it's because the 'DB' has TOO MANY NOTES ON IT!  If they got rid of about 3/4's of them I might have stood a chance, plus it would have opened up this horrible instrument to some of the smaller kids who got away with playing two acorn shells or a match box with elastic bands stretched over it.

Among all the notes played on Chicago albums, how can only one be singled out? They're all the worst.

However, I learned this interesting fact from the Wikipedia entry on "Color My blearrggh -- wait. "Color MBLAAAAGGGGGH -- Sorry.  Can't type it out.  You know. That song:

"The major seventh chord that begins the song has been called, 'the most famous major seventh chord in the history of music.'"  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colour_My_World_%28Chicago_song%29

I think the first 3 Chicago records have some interesting stuff on them.

I agree.

Chicago never made a great album. But they did make one or two very good ones.
