xdistancex Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Short for Motor City - Detroit Michigan. Ted Nugent' date=' Bob Seger, Mitch Ryder, Jack White, etc. [/quote'] close...... but a bit off, Motown does refer to Detroit, but was a term coined for the music of the 50s and 60s, and then carried on by the artist that represented the Motown Label that followed. it started as motortown, and was later shortened to Motown it started with artists like Smokey Robinson, The Four Tops, Diana Ross, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, The Jackson 5 etc. that is Motown music, motorcity rock was what was to follow with Seger and The Nuge hence the Motorcity mad man sorry im a big Motown fan haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duende Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Do you guys like Gospel music. I also like some Christian Rock' date=' but I admit I don't know many of the artists. When I get my guitar I hope I can play some of that stuff. You know what. I forgot to ask about amplifiers. What's a good low priced one? [/quote'] I love my Laney VC-15. It is all valve and has a Jenson speaker. It was around $600 but well worth it if you like real authentic Page, Clapton late 60's tones. Stick a Les Paul and a GE7 in it and you are in Randy Rhoads territory! http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Laney-VC15110-15W-1x10-Tube-Guitar-Combo-Amp?sku=481338 I think it is discontinued now though. hmmm, Even as Christian, Christian rock/pop is not my things a tall. I do love Christian music in the sense of Bach's St Matthew's Passion or Mozart's Requiem but Christianity in pop makes me wince a little.

I notice something from the artists you posted, it's not like it's a well defined genre with all artists sounding "the same" (please correct me if Im wrong) so, how would I know if what Im listening is considered motown? Or is it more like what they call "indie" today, not a genre at all but the way the music's made (to put it in a simple short way). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
