[@badfoot11]

Alison Koch they "borrowed" the leading guitar riff from an old R&B cut "Time is Tight by Booker T & the MGs . like Pharell's remade of M. Gaye's hit. give it a listen and you'll agree.

[@badfoot11]

replacing the organ with a guitar is not innovative . ask 3 musicians their opinion when they're not stoned .

[@cinemeleon2808]

cjordan walker SO not the same

[@DocBrown3000]

+cjordan walker I suggest you book an appointment with an audiologist ASAP. That riff sounds nothing like the organ melody from "Time is Tight".

[@badfoot11]

@ Mad Season : minor changes like speed and key are the reason I asked if someone that knew something about music structure saw / heard what I heard. Booker T & the MGs.

Alabama Shakes was my first concert, May 1, 2016. Best fuckin' experience as I was standing in the very front row of the SunFest Ford Stage at West Palm Beach. I'm only 32 years old but it's a big deal for me seeing a woman, especially a Black girl rock. It's a positive representation of what we ladies can do and that realness still exists. Thanks, Britt! You ROCK.

[@nonataylor2344]

Okay when a woman takes her shoes off to sing you know she means business. That's what I love about Britney. She's beautiful but she comes to sang and give her all in her performances. True artistry right there.

They are literally awesome.

i can't stop watching this. when i wanna get inspired i always come back to it to.

It's nice to see music grow organically in the studio. No computer processing. Alabama Shakes are refreshing to say the least.

[@82payito]

This band brought music back. These guys are doing something invaluable, and im not sure they know it. They have given rock a new life inside a new host (this generation). Radio waves are so saturated with such basic music, and it has infested all of us; we forgot that music is not only suppose to make us feel good, but also enrich our life and intelect with its lyrics and complex sounds. This band brought all those things back to us and I am f&*ing grateful for that!

[@1WEareBUFO1]

Sure enough!! Popular music is even beyond basic lately it's garbage written according to one of nine or ten blueprints. Hopefully more real bands will become relevant on a larger scale.... even computers can produce beautiful, unique sounds infinitely, so why does all this electronic, sampled noise sound nearly the same? Don't even get me started on she who will NOT be named and her fistful of basic chord progressions.

+Saitama Sensei I know every generation says the same thing, but today's music is absolute rubbish to the nth degree. Have you actually listened to some of the lyrics? Here is a sample of the lyrics from songs in the top 10 on Billboard: "Dry! ...me a desert him, Nuh time to have you lurking, Him ah go act like him nuh like it, You know I dealt with you the nicest, Nuh body touch me you nuh righteous, Nuh badda, text me in a crisis" "Welcome to my duck off the crib, the spot, the pad, But my house is your house if you throwin' it back, Excuse me if my home bringing the sad, Soon as these happy faces land you can run with the cash" "Oh, I'll be your daydream, I'll wear your favorite things, We could be beautiful, Get drunk on the good life, I'll take you to paradise, Say you'll never let me go" There have been some real gems, especially in the top 40/RnB/Hip-hop genres.
