What percussion features do you like from them? :) 5 hours ago, MikeN said: Not aimed at me, but the first one that comes to mind is Mr. Maps from 2015. Funky and cool. Once saw a video DJ named Mike Relm with Blue Man Grouo, and that feature reminds me a lot of that. Mike I was also going to say 2015, just love love love the entire book. Mr. Maps is just bonkers in the best of ways, how they listened to that and said drum feature is beyond me and I hope I can reach that level of genius at some point in my life time. Also love the 160 BPM breaks in 2010s show and 2014 was very cool as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mingusmonk Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 (edited) Side note. It is kind of cool and rewarding to see shows I marched mentioned in this thing. I am under no illusion that they would contend for the top ... they shouldn't. But I am surprised that those older shows get mention against the powerhouse and consistency of modern bloo.

What percussion features do you like from them? 1988 - rough year. But next-leveled 87 in terms of that drum solo. 1991 - that rare moment when the percussion book was tougher AND better at season end rather than original. 1997 - Standout of that mid-90's era. Peak BlueQ 2004 - honestly, the Dan Delong years were so consistent. This was a tough choice. 2008 - Macs best work with Bluecoats. 2012 - This jumped out and screamed WE DEMAND TO BE NOTICED! 2014 - Will stand the test of time. 2015 - Microcosm of the 2015 show because it is unjustly overshadowed by a championship in 2016.

The shows were watchable, enjoyable, exciting, and performed with verve, intensity, and sincerity. Of course they deserve to be well thought of and still very respected. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePlanets Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 Have to double check my tally that I think I left at work but I am pretty sure 2016 Downside Up got it. I will be back tomorrow with a full top 5 and my week 23 corps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePlanets Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 Okay it took a long time to tally but here are the results and I knew 1 and 2 were extremely close and I apparently needed a recount lol 1. 2014 Tilt 2. 2016 Downside Up 3. 2005 Caravan 4. 2015 Kinetic Noise 5. 2010 Metropolis 6. 1987 7. 2008 The Boxee 8. 2006 Connexus 9. 2007 Criminal 10. 2017 Jagged Line HMs for 1989,1996,2001, 2009 Least Favorite goes to 1992. 03 and 04 seem to be forgotten years The only show that was close for getting an equal amount of +/- was 2000. Sample size was low for least favorite and controversial shows. I have to admit that I am surprised to see a low turnout for 2011 and 2013. I admit neither made my top 5 but both were great shows.
