I went with M>H>R. Curious to see what you guys think.
-
.....really?
-
There's no way I could possibly make a statement like that.
-
.....really?
I agree with this question.
-
I mean, generally, what's the order of importance for you? Obviously there will be exceptions.
-
Never stop posting here. It would be a shame to lose such a specimen.

I voted Rhythm > harmony > melody
-
Rhythm beats all.

How did I not see this coming on a prog forum.

Timbre ftw :corn

All 3 of those things suck.

Well, Melody and Harmony both sound like stripper names, and Rhythm is what you would (hopefully) have while banging them, so based on that, I'd have to say....uhh....
Ok, I don't know where I was going with that. But that's alright, because this thread makes no sense to begin with.

it makes perfect sense dude

Hot damn you're right, I just had to clear my head first. Now it makes sense. That being said,
All 3 of those things suck.

No. You forgot to include ensemble type.
The size of a group playing a piece, as well as what instruments are part of its orchestration can play a large role in the overall sound.
A 18 man big band, 13 of whom are playing tubas, and the rest of whom are either a pianist/synthesizer or percussionist, is going to sound a lot different than a whiny girl and her acoustic guitar, even if they make recordings of the same exact song.
-
Seriously Hayden, this thread does not make sense. Even if it did... why?
-
Well asking why wouldn't make sense if the thread did make sense.
-
All 3 of those things suck.
:lol :lol

I know I'm new and everything, but I still think I can discern a silly thread from a thread which deserves to exist. This is the former.

If you don't have rhythm, melody and harmony in a song, you have a problem (nonmelodic metal excluded, bless its heart).

you can also have drone music, which often doesn't have rhythm.

just tell that to steven wilson

And you can also have atonal music, which doesn't have harmony, but if our collective knowledge of music is such that threads like these are being made, we don't want to cover too much in the first lesson.

What?

Or you could have spoken post-modern comedy imposed over a friend tuning his guitar while suffering from bad gas, which would have none of them, if he's got poor pitch.

Black people have rhythm, but proggers have rhythms, what with the time changes and all.

....Touche, new guy. Touche.
I'm going to bed.

Hopr you remember to tuck yourself in in 19/16 and please, make sure you're not in A minor.
-
Sort of a bumhole question. I chose the second option though.
-
Rhythm > Melody > Harmony
-
I'd rather not vote lol.
-
.....really?
To be fair, wasn't H also the one arguing that it's was possible to objectively judge if one musician/guitarist was the best? :P
-
R>H>M
Rhythm is just something that gets into my head and sticks (especially if it's in 5. I love the feel of five).
Harmony can make some amazing tension and really give a piece/song colour. Without harmony the music can be very grey.
Melody is very nice, but without the other two it is often uninteresting. It is the other two which give rise to the effect that the melody has.
I would list an exception as being when every or a majority of instruments in a piece are playing more melodic lines (including the bass instrument), but still, the various counterpoints still provide a very definite set of shifting harmonies which allow for the overall colourful complexity to be obtained.
Man, I sound like a pretentious moron.
-
To the actual quetion:
R>H>M
That's usually how it is when I write too, and the melody always comes to be last when I write.
-
Harmony-Melody-Rhythm
Any time I'm singing along in the car, if there's a harmony vocal, I always sing that.
-
anticipating some interesting discussion, i, unlike most, was pumped when i seen this thread...
kinda derailed in a hurry.
anywayz, too hard to choose between the two, so i guess i'd say:
M=R >>>>>>> H
-
There's no way I could possibly make a statement like that.
-
I absolutely love vocal harmonies, and harmonies in general, but I don't think I could rank any of those three above the other...
-
There really can't be any discussion on this... I mean each one is entirely different in every song so...
-

That's what I was going to say.
It depends on song and band and genre.
Sometimes I like to listen to Mechugga-chuggah, where R>M>H obviously and sometimes I'd rather listen to some other progressive stuff where M>R>H>M>H>R>H... and so on.

Yay...
Thanks. Never thought that the Unexpect reference would be recognized so rapidly.
It's Pendulum just because "Disorted Guest" was rejected in the registration process.

you can also have drone music, which often doesn't have rhythm.
And you can also have atonal music, which doesn't have harmony, but if our collective knowledge of music is such that threads like these are being made, we don't want to cover too much in the first lesson.
Actually it does have harmony, but it has atonal harmony. If it's written well then it'll still be specific harmonies to create certain moods/vibes.
Anyway why isn't there an option for Harmony = Melody = Rhythm?
-
M>H>R
-
I care about how all of those three things work together. Ranking them is just kind of silly.

This is, I think, why people have a problem with Yahden's question. For me, it's not something that's ever crossed my mind nor is it something that I care to ponder now that it has. It's all about the end result.

Actually, upon further thought - this is my conclusion as well.
-
Pretentious, all of you
-
But what if
-
I mean... you know?
-
After discussing it with my fellow music majors, we decided that Melody and Rhythm are self-sufficient. Harmony requires a melody, therefore it's weaker.
So, Melody = Rhythm > Harmony.
-
Yeah, that's pretty much was I was saying.
