The Value of Error
Monitor Mix discusses the inherent value of mistakes in rock music and laments the overly produced perfection of contemporary music. They offer up this (accurate) analysis of The Beatles’ Rain:
Want to hear a really sloppy record? It’s a good song, but the recording’s a mess. The drums consistently drag the rhythm; the bass player isn’t quite sure how his part is supposed to go. If you listen carefully to the end of the second verse (around the 48-second mark in this video), the whole band gets lost for a moment and ends up adding an extra beat by accident.
Other paradigm examples: The Sex Pisols (every song), the keyboard solo in James Brown’s Sex Machine, the beginning of the chorus in the Mommas and the Papa’s I Saw Her Again.
