Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.
people on this board are actual music fans who developed taste in music and not casual listeners who are following current fashion trends and listening to only current commercial hits.
Winger would be better!
maybe we can curb discussion of these bands until AFTER the splent roulette is over?
I just don't think a lot of those types of music are as popular anymore. You don't hear a band like the Mighty Mighty Bosstones making the top hits list anymore. I saw them once before back in maybe 2001 and they were AWESOME live.
they all use Brass instruments. I mean if you are referring to an actual assortment of Brass players like Chicago? it depends on the song, albums, etc.Most of them also use strings prominently. I like to call what they do Chamber (or Baroque) Pop/Rock/Folk etc, but part of that includes Horns or Brass instruments at times.
Blood Sweat & Tears also had a full-time horn section. They were on Columbia, same label as Chicago, and produced by the same guy, James William Guercio.

I can't think of any more off the top of my head
But Kotow is right .
Anything from Big Big Train after David Longdon joined the band. Beautiful brass (and string) arrangements and accompaniments.-Marc.
I have a friend who is heavily into Ska and whenever I go round his house and he is listening to some ska - every band sounds the same to me. Especially if it's Ska Punk. He himself is in a ska punk band with nine members - three of whom play brass and yeah. They sound exactly as you'd imagine.
I honestly thought ska music died like 15 years ago
But everything that was ever popular...
Ska was popular?
