I know that many would say Meters records have been done to death...but that doesn't take away from the fact that the shit is dope...





If any Strutters have a moment, please post something that in your opinion elicits a broken neck or break face more than a Meters record...thanks.

    Ha ha ha. I do love the Meters but when I'm DJing trying to find a song to play I often think, "damn, this stuff is just too damned slow!" Cardova is usually what I go with. Or [chickenrelated]Chicken Strut[/chickenrelated].

    I don't think Meters records are "boring as hell" but I prefer tracks where they back up vocalists to their instro cuts. "Gossip," "Break in the Road," etc

    I was a bit harsh. Cissy Strut still sounds good, and Handclapping Song too. Sorry to thread hijack

    yeah the first three josie records are kind of slow grooves, although pretty damn top notch, wont fit into most dance floor scenarios.
    Ject...eddie bo and his drummer james black probably could go track for track and rock harder than the meters in my opinion. but i love them both

    its a beautiful thing what got down with the Oh Calcutta snippet to make that Amerie track. Meters related dance floor burner!!

    I don't care how slow the grooves are, for me listening to Zigaboo playing is the exact opposite to boring.

    Yeah, that was a great loop. One of those "holy crap, why has nobody used this before?" joints.

    Has to be something from New Orleans I guess.



    Or Hook & Sling. I remember in an early issue of Big Daddy somebody put out an album (CD I think) of James Black drumming. Anybody kop that ish?

    Goddamn...everyone of these jawns hit the spot. I'm glad I don't live near ya'll because it seems I owe all of you a beer.

    And @Button, I can totally see someone not digging The Meters...I've noticed lots of their tracks don't keep my attention for the entire length of the tune but I always assumed that's cuz I'm a hyper-ADD impatient dude whose always looking for the break.

    EDIT: Oh yeah, might as well keep the tunes coming....

    This may not be harder but it's hard enough.

    Not old skool but almost nothing reminds me of the Meters more than these guys:



    Not especially "hard hitting" but they really have the Meters' sound DOWN.
