What do you think about Santana?
(Edit: Ahem, The title *was* supposed to read something along the lines of "What do you Think About Santana" or something. Could you fix that? )
Inspired by the "Do you Like Bon Jovi" (or something) thread, I'm sort of asking the same thing, except about Santana. Also at the same time asking who knows him and who doesn't, if it's even possible to now know Santana. Santana is maybe the most amazing band/artist (you know, Santana is actually a band, but Carlos Santana is of course the soul of it) I've ever known, starting back in the 60's and still making great albums, with adjusting perfectly with the styles of the day. Santana's an amazing guitarist and the music is much more music than most these days. To me, it's maybe the most influential music there is. So, I'm just wondering...

it's ok, never really got into Santana.... I listen mostly to Country music and Hard Rock/ death metal.

Carlos Santana is crazy talented but I find his music mediocre. My mum loves Santana though, and I'd much rather listen to Santana at her house than Sting or Elton John.

My dad loves the guy. I don't. He's a good guitarist, for sure, but I'd be lying if I said I like listening to his music. It's also really not my type of music, so I guess my opinion doesn't matter.

I've only seen their set from the Woodstock movie and I thought they put up a good show, but I'm definitely not impressed by Carlos' guitar playing.
I usually appreciate simple-but-effective guitar work, but in his case, it just doesn't work for me. So as a band, I think they're ok. As a guitar player, Carlos isn't great. And as a collaboration artist, someone's gotta stop him. Please. |

I have very limited knowledge of his music, so I can't say. I've heard one of his newer albums (Shaman or something), and I didn't like it. I've heard one of his more popular songs on the radio (oyo como va, or something), and I like that.

edit: nah, it was who i was thinking of, carlos santana.
well, as i said before he's got great talent but after he sold out to popular demand and starting working with mainstream rappers it destroyed any soul they had in the first place. i think the gypsy kings own them. Last edited by SCRUGAtes13; 09-02-2006 at 02:44 AM. |

Had you asked me a few years ago, I think I would have answered "It is excellent", but my musical taste has been one thing which's changed the most about me, so I have to say "I don't like Santana." - T'is just not my style.

For over thirty years, Carlos Santana has been an amazing songwriter, guitarist and musical arranger, who has fostered some of the most amazing musicians and songwriters from three generations. Whether you enjoy his music or not, you have to appreciate that he is one of the most beloved band leaders in the rock pantheon.
