I just wanted to know what kind of music do you listen to.
I listen to hip hop and R n B the most and I like a bit of soft rock.
-
I'm not sure which to vote for because I listen to loads of genres. I mainly listen to Dance and rock/heavy rock. But I also like some pop like All Saints, some hip hop like the Beastie Boys and other stuff too. Hmmm.. I'll go with dance though, because Prodigy takes up a lot of my listening time :)
-
Jazz.
Not there.
Rock I guess then.
-
Mostly Punk Rock and Ska.
-
Punk Rock.
-
Rock. Although that encompasses punk-rock and heavy-rock. Should have been one catagory, and included Jazz and Orchestral instead.
Then we're truly eclectic. ;)
-
great. now i don't know what to vote.
where would you put alternative rock and/or emo-/hardcore?
-
I listen to all sorts. I'm extremely open minded and will listen to almost anything. Hmmm..I guess I'll vote for rock though :)
-
rock, punk rock, alt. rock
I'll vote for rock.
-
I listen to Punk, Hardcore and Ska...

I guess to Punk

EDIT: Done it Marg :p

haha I have your original post in my quote :evillaugh:
-
Alternative science geek rock, but that's not up there.
-
I listen to 'all of the above', but get my kicks out of jazz, rock, electronic stuff (Massive Attack etc.), really anything that sounds funky...
-
It's a sad day when "classical" isn't a choice.
I chose Other, because I listen to lots of music, but my favorite songs end up being odd things, most of the time. Like video game soundtracks, DJ Sammy's remix of Heaven, the ending theme to Metal Gear Solid (sung in Gaelic, it's beautiful) and Weigh Hey and Up She Rises (AKA What Do We Do With a Drunken Sailor?)
-
Pop.
-
I'm actually a bit of a strange case when it comes to music. Most people I know hate the music style associated with the decade of their birth, but love the music style that immediately followed it. Just to be different, however ;), I don't like any popular 90's music, but am a big fan of 80's pop and rock (I guess I can blame my father for that :p).
-
I also love some of the Rock from the 80s n some of the pop too for that matter though I stopped liking pop when the 90s rolled around n went to just rock.
-
I listen to many things. Mainly rock, I guess.
-
Rock, classical, jazz, blues, swing, the odd pop and dance.
-
Irish hip hop.
-
You muppet. (http://www.irishhiphop.com/)
-
I've actually been there before. :p I like Creative Controle.
-
I'm not voting. I haven't a clue what songs belong to what genres, it's just a case of whether a song grabs my attention or not.
-
I like a few bands from almost every genre.
But most of the new, trendy punk rock bands aren't very good.
-
Dance and Trance deserve their own separate poll options..?
My musical tastes a wide and varied.
-
Classic Rock!
especially U2!!!!
and yes dance and trance are really different, personally i prefer trance, although I don't listen to that stuff anyway
-
All kinds of rock...
-
Do musical genres serve any purpose other than in polls like these, idle chit-chat and self-congratulatory awards nights..?
-
No prog rock! :( It's mainly rock orientated stuff I listen to but I'm getting into Jazz at the moment.
-
All various forms of (heavy) metal.
At the moment: Finntroll :)
-

And the award for best handicapped black lesbian hip hop act goes to...
-
Missy Elliot..!
-
My musical tastes do not include:
R&B
Dance/ Trance
Hip Hop
Rap
Pop
Death Metal
Country
Avril Lavigne
Everything else is pretty OK.
-
Originally posted by Ben:

I guess it depends, but I think it'd be cool to have on option for dance, and another for alternative dance as well :)
Also, I'm surprised knowones voted for heavy rock yet, I guess some of it's more of an underground thing though :)
-
No folk-rock?
I listen to a wide variety of music. I'll vote other.
-
My taste run the whole gamet of options. One day I may be in the mood for some clubby, dance music, another day I'll be in the mood for some good Opera or Classical. I do, though, tend to stay away from rap and country.
-
Rockabilly and Psychobilly.
-
@rach: So Pop and Avril Lavigne deserve their own separate categories now then? Or were you just expressing ultra dissatisfaction towards her and her ugly ginger hair?
Actually for once I agree with Ben. Let's just say that I listened to that godawful garage shit, what should I class that as: Dance or Hip Hop, it's the worst elements of both combined with an extra layer of shit. I'd rather go to an Avril Lavigne concert.
Also the MOBO awards are the most backward-moving excuse for a high-profile gangsta shoot out in the world. :puke: :mad:
-
Originally posted by nixon!:

I am not so familiar with this genre.
Have these influenced Primus and/or System of a Down?
Incidentally, yesterday I was listening to Studio Brussel (my fave radio station) in the car, and there was this English band, from Brighton (or Bristol or Birmingham, something like along those lines). They had a really weird name.
80's matchbox B-line disaster. I warn you, this is just what I heard on the radio, and might not be the right spelling.
Do any of these names sound familiar to you, nixon?
-
When 80's Matchbox B-Line Disaster came to play in York we were asked to support them. I couldn't coz I was working. I've heard a bit of their stuff. Sounds about right to me.
-
I listen to a little bit of everything all the time, so I didn't vote.
-
I listen to many genres really, but out of all those from the list, trance is my most favorite.
The two choices that attracted me the most were dance and trance. But I thought dance would allude to the cheesy techno stuff like Ian Van Dahl and Paul Oakenfold so I chose trance. Really, though. I like lots of electronic music. Trance, euro, jungle, goa, D&B, German hardcore, gabber, house, etc etc.
I'm also partial to the old-skool and underground hip-hop stuff like Beastie Boys, Jurassic 5 and Hieroglyphics.
-
R&B
Dance/ Trance
Hip Hop
Rap
Pop
Death Metal
Country
Avril Lavigne
Uh yeah, baby, we have something in common :D
But you miss your chance by mentioning Avril Lavigne… :p
@Spiff, right now I'm going to buy some new music. Just wanted to ask about Guano Apes. I didn't here any of theirs. Are they something like System of a Down?
You see, I'm quite uneducated in alternative/progressive rock :). What can you suggest me?
PS: And, yes, I think said it thousands times before:
I like most: Metal. From good old Heavy Metal (which is not really heavy) to Death and Black Metal. Also Gothic and some Folk…
But I listen to a wide variety.
-
I like listening to practically anything that I feel has a good tune (and I mean anything)
I don't usually like much Dance songs, but if they put some String melodies to good use then usually it catches me. PPK is probably my favourite Dance...duo I guess I could call them.
Other music I like could be movie soundtrack, game soundtrack, classical, modern, "futuristic"(New Age usually) Rap (in some cases) Rock, Pop (in somecases) R&B (in some cases, I actually prefer the old meaning of Rythem and Blues), Choiral...oh anything.
-
I first heard of the Guano Apes when I was in Budapest in '99. The kid who I was staying with at the homestay was a really big fan of theirs. In fact, the week after I left, he went to some big outdoor concert that they headlined.
I wouldn't call them System of a Down-ish, because I hate to relate a band's sound to another bands. They are hard rock, but with a female vocalist. If anything, it's very skate-friendly punk rock. Don't take this as a bad thing, but it does sound like an extreme sports commerical. But in a good sense.
Go for "Lord of the Boards" or anything else off of "Proud Like a God." THat's what Adam (the homestay kid) listened to a lot, so that's what I know.
-
I've only ever heard "Dodel Up" and their cover of Alphaville's "Big In Japan". That's it.
-
I found a cd I had been searching for for close to a month now, that felt good.
Brings the album collection total up to an 430. Less than 50 are burned, hooray.

I might be interpratating that wrong, and sorry if I am, but you make it sound as if Rock fans can't like Dance. I love Rock and Dance, infact they're my two fave genres :)
-
I cannot limit myself to one genre.
I am often looking for extremes: the hardest, the fastest, the weirdest, the most relaxing, etc.
The hardest music I got in my collection:
Ec8oR, Atari Teenage Riot and Alec Empire (all three from Digital Hardcore Recordings), Napalm Death.
I admire Aphex Twin for his versatility. He makes the most chilling ambient, as well as sparky and jumpy electro. Some of his pieces are extremely monotonous, where his more recent work never stays the same for even a second.
Music in my collection with meaningful criticising and often cynical and sarcastic lyrics: Dead Kennedys.
I listen to classical music from time to time. I am very selective though. I don't like Mozart or Beethoven.
Mahler is my favourite so far, but there are so many things I 've heard only very little of, like Berlioz.
When I am in the car, I always switch back and forth between Studio Brussel and Klara. Studio Brussels is modern and in the late/early hours they play rather unknown and alternative things. Klara is a cultural/classical radio station. Sometimes they play ethnic and jazz.

By R&B are we talking Muddy Waters or Destiny's Child.

Tunneling yourself into such a small bracket as presented in this list, will not allow you to experiance the wide varity of music out there. (you do not need good speeling or grammer to have good musical taste.)
Let's see I genrally liek to listen to
Heavy metal (Iron maiden ect)
epic metal (Kamelot)
J-pop(Ai Orikusa ect)
Sound tracks
rock (Everclear)
Punk in general (AFI, Less than jake ect)
Rap (Beastie boys)
Soul (BArry White)
Cheese metal (bow to the might that is \m/Stan Bush\m/)
So I like to think I'm not boxing myself in. So I choose other.

:laff: Waahoo! You better believe that if you're talking about R&B, it better not be Destiny's Child, that's a total misnomer if ever I heard one.
If you are, go away listen to more and more varied genres of music, because you know NOTHING! :evillaugh:
-
I like to listen to some songs from the 90s.
-
[said in my best Sean Connery Voice] Rock - Classic Rock [/Sean Connery Voice]
I will listen to almost anything at least once, but given the choice, I usually head for the lcassic rock jems.
-
i voted for Punk Rock though for the first time ever i agree with tmc about it being a sad day when classical is not an option.
i dont like this pop punk though. about the only music i dont listen to is R&B, anything that has to do with jesus, & country.
right now i'm listening to the new Radiohead and this is everything i have been hungering for musically.
-
i like everything except pop, so i won't click anything.
-
i listen to older punk rock, ska, emo, etc. I try to avoid pop, pop punk, pop rock, r&b, rap (except for a select few) and anybody who appears with Carson Daily.
-
I like classical, As movies has taught us, its good for thinking about moods. I like SKa more than punk really
-
I like pop/ rock. By this, I mean bands like Trapt, GC, Nine Days, etc. I also like some metal, like Metallica and Adema. And I also like Linkin Park, Evanescence and so on. I also like some hip hop- Ja Rule, Lumidee, J. Lo. Actually, I like whatever sounds good. I could hate. say orchestras in general, but if it's s good song, I'll like it. So whatever catches my ears I like. But mostly rock.
-
My music tastes are broad. I like: Dance, Trance, House (Funky, Laid back, Chilled, Deep, and French), Euphoric, Ambient, Orchesteral/Instrumental, Indie Rock/Band music, some (but not all) hip-hop, funk, classic motown soul... and that's it, i think...
-
hmmm... i'ld like to add math-rock, noise-rock and hardcore to my list (and combinations of all those).
although i still have no idea what to vote.
-
Pop/Rock eg Michael Jackson, the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Nirvana, Manic Street Preachers, Robbie Williams, Blur, Oasis
Indy: eg Travis, Starsailer, Coldplay
I also like listening to film scores such as John Williams work.
What do I hate? Trance, and Rap although I actually like quite a bit of Eminems stuff.
-
I like all the genres. What should I vote?
-
Vote "indecisive bastard."
Or "Pat Buchanan."
-
All rock, all the time. I don't listen to much else.
-
I saw Lynyrd Skynyrd and Deep Purple the other night and they were absolutely brilliant, plenty of long haired bikers and old guys there and hardly any chicks to get up on my shoulders (a perfect way to hijack someone, cos I'm over 6 foot and they'd be too scared to fall off :evillaugh: ).
Great night, except for the waiting until 2am for a bus home. :(
-
Lynyrd Skynyrd: 3 original members dead.
or
Lynyrd Skynyrd: The 1970s' equivalent to Kid Rock.
Nah, I'm kidding. I'm sure you had a wonderful time.
-
Lynyrd didn't give you a ride home?
-
My sis offered to go to to Graspop, a metal festival with me. She 's usually not into heavy metal, but she wants to see Within Temptation. That 's ok with me, and on the same day I can also see Ministry.
Other bands that day: Alice Cooper, Iron Maiden, Anthrax, Sick Of It All, Murderdolls, Pro-Pain...
I only like the bands named in the first paragraph though. Would it be worth forking out € 50 for? :confused:
-
Bwahahahaha, I look down upon you ALL

I like indie rock, i.e not bad indie...I like trail of dead...people who havnt heard of these guys listen too them! they are awesome with a capital A.

YEs they are. They have a big indie Club\concert hall here in the valley.

Personally, I don't see the resemblance since I've only heard one Kid Rock song (which was half rap anyway, maybe you like him more than I do?).
At least some of them are still alive and well after that "plane crash". :laff:

i fully agree. trail of dead rule.
but i have yet to see them live, from what i've heard they must be pretty awesome live too (read: they destroy everything in sight).
-
For those who who like ..Trail Of Dead, et al - please go "find" some tracks by Aereogramme.
"Zionist Timing" is a standout track. Spiff, you'll like them especially.
EDIT: I saw Trail Of Dead at The Leeds Festival 2001, and they were fantastic.

And for my opening statement:

I'm not a rocker, I'm not a rapper either. Sometimes to find your niche you have to risk being alienated. This is why it's hard for me to discuss music with other people.

I hate them.
Then I feel sorry for you. If you even didn’t hear of In Extremo, Lacrimosa, Finisterra, Blind Guardian, Guano Apes at last. Then you are really a poor kind. I suppose your music tastes are basically formed by MTV.
-
I like all music pretty much, cept pop

Look at Today's Music: 80% crap either pop or 'ghetto' tracks to make money for those evil capitilists that have sucked the life out of the art of Music.
True. However, two of the remaining members of Queen have been guilty of "dead horse flogging" and befouling the memory of one of the greatest frontmen in the history of music, with the amount of crappy cover-versions and abominable west-end plays they put their names to.
They should either:
1) Go away forever.
2) Recruit prodigious new frontman with amazing voice, and go on tour.
For the fans, go and buy the Queen Live At Wembley 1986 DVD, and remember them that way.

The Three golden rules Music tastes
a) Have to play real music, none of that synthisised/keyboard crap
Is it just me or is the term 'Music' Becoming more and more loose?
b) Non-faggy bands are just as important to satisfy as the first rule. Eg. Creed, Gob, The Ataris Too many others to name.
So, there goes half of the punk bands
c) Good vocals... this is a really flimsy rule for me... Yellers i sometimes dont mind, i like Damaged (Damn i wish i could drum like that guy!), The Used, Spineshank and many others, but Slipknot and many others like them don't work for me
In short
A) Have to play real music
B) Can't be a band full of fags
C) Good Vocals
Fave bands include Grinspoon, Foo fighters and too many more to mention
EDIT : BTW i chose 'Rock' :D

METAL....! :evillaugh: All sorts of metal but I like anything really....
And what does TOPTD mean anyway....it's about the only abbreviation I don't know and it's so annoying lol
-
Metal does indeed rule except nu which sucks.
TOTPD=top of the page dance
-
Metal rules. I played in a metal band back in the day. Gleno, I remember you posting about Dimmu Borgir in the favorite song thread, I find death metal/black metal (or whatever the hell you call that) to be nothing more than comical, unfortunately. We used to get a lot of laughs out of covering just Manowar tunes, let alone Dimmu Borgir.
"Hogg hodet av hver kristen
og voldta deres kvinner og barn"
A lot of PEELers are gonna understand that, and it's just sensationalism. I can't imagine it's serious.
But I'm into punk lately. GG Allin, Choking Victim, Agnostic Front, Casualties. Maybe I think they're funny too. GG Allin is, if anything, more sensationalist than Dimmu Borgir.
And yes, you're contractually obligated to dance when you get a post at the top of the page.
-
There are many rock fans here, I can make a mountain out of them.

yes, and the fun thing is: they all split up into several fractions that often can barely stand each other.
-
I like softer metal, like Metallica, Adema, etc. I like the music of heavy metal most of the time just usually i don't like the singing. I also like more meaningful songs. Also I'ma fairly new metal and screaming rock fan, I just got into it. I used to hate LP but now I love them.
I posted here before. This was just to disuss metal.(see earlier post)
-
I voted Other, I usually like spread songs/albums no matter what genre it is (except Hardcore/metal), however I do like one genre in particular: The one Vangelis created. I also like New Age (Mike Oldfield, Yanni)
-

Cute. And to think that some Americans think Eminem's lyrics are too explicit. ;)
This reminds of the group Red Warszawa which has made such memorable songs as "Santa's suicide note", "Hurrah the school's on fire", "I hate all people", "The EPO Song" and their wonderful song about shopping at German discount stores, "Aldi". Truly juvenile and funny stuff. :D
-
Yeah, I don't think it's really meant in earnest. Some of the punk bands I mentioned have lyrics like "I kill everything I fuck," or "Let's go kill us a cop." It's so over the top that you can't really believe it. Well, maybe you can from GG Allin, but I knew one of the guys from the other band vaguely back in the day, and I don't believe he ever killed a cop. It's more likely he got beat up every day in high school and reinvented himself as a crackhead criminal to forget about it.
Same with death metal bands like Dimmu Borgir. they all probably play Warcraft 20 hours a day and spent their formative years eating their lunches alone in the art teacher's office. Which is not an indictment of their character, I still like them, I'm just saying they're overrated as a threat to civilisation.
-
I love metal. Turn on some SpineShank and im happier than a green snake in a sugarcane field.I recently got to see them in concert and they kicked ass. Other good bands:
Smashing Pumpkins, Pantera, Machine Head, Earth Crisis, Pissing Razors, Tool, and War In America.
Oldies also kicks ass. I love so many of the British Invasion bands. The Kinks, the Who, Pink Floyd, the Doors... I could go on.
-
Man, I feel like the only person on this board that is getting tired of metal. I dunno, I used to be a huge metal fan in high school, but after a while, I just got tired of it and grew onto other styles. Things can only be dark and heavy for so long.
-
I'm a total metalhead. I prefer oldschool thrash metal. I'm not really into death metal ( although Morbid Angel and Death are damn good bands ) and I hate black metal. Great bands are Testament, Sepultura, Meshuggah and the almighty gods of thrash Slayer.
-
-Older rock: Ramones, Misfits,
-heavier and industrial: Napalm Death, Nailbomb,
-I like insane bizarre rock like 80's Matchbox B-line Disaster, Arab On Radar, Lightning Bolt, etc. These don't really fit into a genre.
-Sometimes I even listen to hip hop, mostly Arsonists, De La Soul and Insane Clown Posse (just kidding about ICP :laff: )
-
The Insane Clown Posse got voted worst music artists ever in some magazine poll in America... I read it in the paper, and that never lies!
-
Instead of starting a new thread how bout we post fave song lyrics, like one verse or chorus that you really love....? One of mine....
"I praise the song of defeat
I am the bottom, and he's the summit
A sorrowful farewell
Where does salvation dwell...."
Band is rotting Christ (my fave band)

yeah. people often have a fit because of lyrics that clearly are not meant in a serious way. a great example is a punk band from germany called "die kassierer" (the cashiers).
their songs have titles like "ich töte meinen nachbarn und verprügel seine leiche" (i'll kill my neighbour and beat up his corpse), "ich onaniere in den kopflosen rumpf von uwe seeler" (i'm masturbating in the headless body of uwe seeler*) *=famous german soccer player or "rudelfick im altersheim" (gang bang in the nursing home).
they have songs about killing people in pretty cruel and weird ways, having sex with 15 year old girls, infected dicks and so on.
at first, this sounds rather mean. but the lyrics are so stupid (on purpose, btw) and so obviously over the top it's just hilarious.
and yet, every time they release a new record, people try to abolish it.
-
I hereby demand that the term fags be banished forever, or at least never refered to when putting down bands lest the argument lose any credibility it once had. I'm looking at YOU Rage Dump.
@Spiff: I like it. We have a guy at work a bit like that. He never shuts up about wanking, blowing people etc. yet he is so obviously over the top that it is clear he is just joking. However if you didn't know himf rom Adam you'd think he was a sick fuck who needed serious mental help.
@evan: Well I never really liked Metal, but I want to be part of the outsiders gang so can I join please?

i can understand that all too well.
i can easilly listen to metal (as long as nobody's growling), but it's not my favorite genre. it just gets boring after a while.
and i'm sick of this megalomaniac song writing some metal bands have. just think of blind guardian. their songs sound as if they had about 12 guitars, two full orchestras and whatnot - and yet, there're still only one or two melodies being played at the same time in the song.
if you want that kind of song writing, make it sound good and make it sound complex. i want music that fucks with my head.

Go hippy rock! (Phish)
Go whatever type of rock DMB, Barenaked Ladies, and U2 are!

What is Hardcore? I listen to Hardcore and I need to clarify this as the Hardcore I listen to is at the root of alot of breakbeat dance music.
The Prodigy for example were a Hardcore group from the early nineties and as far as I'm concerned there last two albums were Hardcore, albeit upgraded with modern sounds and samples but his roots are still there(even though Liam says he hated Hardcore, I think) as he sampled The Horn Track for use on his tune Climbatize(sp).
I also agree with the Dance/Trance options (but who cares, this thread is old, right?)
It should either be just Dance or there should be a selection of the main dance sub-genres. The same goes for Rock too.
I chose Dance but I listen to quite alot, from oldies to the latest Techno sounds!

I have a pretty wide spectrum of stuff that I listen to depending on the mood I'm in. Enya, anyone?
-
ELO!!!! Yes, Boston, pre 1982 Rush, some Blondie.
And for "Metal" Dio and Rainbow.
Yeah, I'm old. :p
-
I have Blondies Greatest hits on DVD.
I'm 22.
Who is this Rush I keep hearing of anyway? The only one I know of plays considerably hard techno.
Please enlighten me.

Nerdlingus, you need to get out more. Maybe quit popping e and frugging with a bunch of 14 year olds for a couple days.
Hardcore is the genre that emerged from the confluence of punk and thrash metal in the early '80s. Think Minor Threat and Black Flag. It's diversified a lot now, and the scene ranges from straightedge to emo to power violence and grind, but it's all just punk with metal drumming.
Rush is a Canadian prog rock and glitter rock band started in the early '70s. It's Geddy Lee and Neil Peart and Alex Lifeson. They're kind of nerdy.
And how many threads do we have for music tastes? Can't we pick one and stick with it?
-
I think the Hardcore confusion here stems from one being just Hardcore, while the other being Happy Hardcore...
-
You are NOT helping me feel any younger. :)
Well there is http://www.Rush.com, (http://www.Rush.com,) http://www.mysticrhythms.se/ (http://www.mysticrhythms.se/) Though this guy focuses on 80's Rush.

Then again I was 15, your favorite albums all seem to be best when you are 15 somehow.....
I'm sure there are lots more. Since I don't much like their post early eighties stuff, I'm not really up to speed.
But I still listen to them.
-
Early '80s Rush rules. And that's really insightful, about your favourite albums being the best when you're 15. For me, it was Houses of the Holy back then. Oh, man, those were the days. I can remember sitting up all night listening to that. Led Zeppelin is probably the single reason I survived that period.
-
Rock.
-
I think most of what I've been listening to lately is grind/crust, but I'm also into rockabilly/psychobilly, some punk, some hardcore, some surf, hell even a little death metal sprinkled here and there.
-
Tiger Army is good psychobilly. And check out Guitar Wolf. Japanese garage punk/rockabilly.

Hey man, I'm out quite abit as it goes. I don't "pop E" (although its not like I haven't tried) and I certainly don't bop with 14yr olds.
You offended me you skank.
Besides, dancing manically is better than standing like a plum with your lighter in the air.
Regardless;

Thats not the Hardcore I know! I think I'll call it Breakbeat Hardcore in any future reference.

Err, not really, no.
Happy Hardcore (for the 14yr olds) broke off from Hardcore around 1994.
Hardcore gave birth to two genres, Drum and Bass and Happy Hardcore the latter being complete arse.
The Breakbeat Hardcore I listen to is from around the years 1990-1993. There is still quite an underground following, especially on the net which is how I got hold of most my records.
Actually alot of the raves where this "Hardcore" I listen to was played were held by Fantazia etc.. and they were in the papers quite alot back in the day and was pretty much the reason why the government passed the criminal justice bill.
Hardcore you know the score!
Me is off to download some Rush now... ;)

Oh wait.
Whilst you guys talk about Rush, here's an awesome Neil Peart drum solo (http://www.drummerworld.com/drummersound/neilpeart.ram).
-
I have a wide taste in music but I prefer Jazz/Swing/Big Band. I do have some U2, Queen and 80's in my collection too, but my most recent purchase was an Ella Fitzgerald album. So a bit different to the majority!
-
...woo, Archie. That reminds me... I love ska fans. I don't listen to or own much ska, but it makes for a good concert... I think it's great to see so many people dressed in suits dancing like fools. I'd shake the hand of whoever invented skanking... I enjoy it so much more than being around hardcore/punk/metal fans during a concert. A fun show for me doesn't involve punching strangers...
...and I vote "other". There's loads of good stuff...
-
Yeah, two tones are cool, but have you ever seen "Heavy Metal Parking Lot"? Come on, how can you beat drunk surly metal fans from 1986?

After NP stopped being an Objectivist, Rush went down hill......... But I understand the sentiment.
-
I like quite a range of shit. Anything that's good really, but my main pleasures are:
Hip-Hop (dunno what sub styles really)
Progressive rock (mainly british 70s)
a sprinkling of (classic) punk
Progresive Electronica (including 'krautrock')
Whatever the hell the Flaming Lips are (acid-prog-punk-something I think)
Plus loads of realy random junk

Tiger Army are vaginas. It's just AFI with an upright bass(they even have the same damn drummer). Nekromantix rules all in that world. I'm also a fan of Reverend Horton Heat, the Quakes, Three Bad Jacks, The Cramps, etc.
-
Actually its AFI's old bass player that is in Tiger Army. Tiger Army's drummer is Fred Hell, and is a nice guy but not a former AFI member.
I personally like Ska, Punk(mostly 70's 80's but some current), Psychobilly, Orginal Garage Rock(ex. The Sonics), Singer Songwriter, Underground Hip Hop, Hardcore, Indie Rock, Reggae(60's, 70's and 80;s), Power Pop(ex. Weezer), orginal emo(thus the 80's school, Samiam, Fugazi, Rites of Spring), Oh and I also really like The World Inferno Friendship Society but they defy genres.
-
...what, pray tell, is psychobilly?
-
Originally posted by Mr.MastodonFarm:

Combine punk and rockabilly and you've got yourself psychobilly. Take songs at a punk beat, the fine slap tones of an upright bass, and crazy guitar lines(straight out of rockabilly land) and you've got the genre.
-
There's too many labels. Hell, I haven't pinned down what rockabilly is... still, I'm pretty sure I know what it sounds like.
-
It sounds like if the Misfits played "Blue Moon of Kentucky." At its best. At its worst, it sounds like a bunch of swaggering jerks trying to out-gay the Stray Cats. Hey, that's what the Reverend Horton Heat sounds like...
-
is rock the same as alternative? cuz i vote for alternative. or as aol calls it "Xtreme alt rock"
-
I like industrial, synthpop, 80s new wave (Depeche Mode, New Order, no freaking Tony Basil or Missing Persons), some goth rock (Fields of the Nephilim, The Sisters of Mercy, esp. their early bad synth stuff), some unclassifiable mope-out music like Leonard Cohen. I'm going thorugh a serious Smiths/Morrissey obsession right now. It's kind of funny because every angsty teenager I ever hung out with was a Morrissey worshipper and I never really got into him until now. It's like I'm 10 years too late to indulge my displaced teen angst, but I was too busy being an angry teenage dirtbag back then.
I also like a smattering of other stuff: The Damned, Adam Ant, string quartet music, Peaches, The Doors, Rasputina, Voltaire...geeky junk like that.
-
Yuki.. you rock.. .peaches is awesome..
the doors... absolutely poetically tragically amazing...
and what about the cure?..their earlier stuff was good for teen angst... songs like 'the hanging garden' and 'jumping someone elses train' are very depressingly gothic 80's... jesus i love the cure...
i love... definitely ska... skaskaska... reel big fish, dr octopus, the porkers...
some indie rock like pretty girls make graves..
i'm all over the shop..and it's great... I've been lucky enough to have seen almost everyone... (including all listed above, except the doors of course)..i just have to see radiohead, and tori amos and i can die happy.... hooray!...

I've been listening to Aereogramme for quite some time now (interestingly, I found out about them on my own since I didn't read this post up untill now) and I agree, they're indeed awesome. And "Zionist Timing" is one of the best tracks on "A Story in White".
Right now, I'm trying to get my hands on the "Seclusion" EP. Let's see how that turns out, the reviews I've read were promising so far.

Cool man, I had your interests at heart when I posted that.

The Cure used to be my true love, but I found that listening to them inspired me to write too much bad poetry. Now I just listen to The Smiths and write stories about hott angstaholics. Someitmes I still listen to the Cure, if I'm in the right mood.
I forgot to mention how much I love Siouxsie and the Banshees /the Creatures too. That lady knows how to be creepy hott.
And I did get to see Bauhaus for the reunion tour a few years ago. Daniel Ash still rocks.
Does anyone like The Tea Party?
Most people I've met have never heard of them, but it's good Doors-style semi-goth rock.
-
i dislike the party because of his jim morrison complex unfortunately.. they're playing here next month but alas...
i am very poor....
and i know about the bad poetry thing.. heh.. i love the cure... it boarders on really good and really bad....but i love it anyway...
-
To sum things up, I like anything that was made before 1980, I do like a few things made after then, but they tend to be few and far between.
-
Yeeeey pop
-
Simple. Whatever I like, I listen to.
-

Lostprophets - Start Something
Beastie Boys - To The 5 Boroughs

-
I also enjoyed 2004 a lot, mainly for:

Dude. You're old.
-
Dude, I was born that year. I don't remember it, I just think recent music sucks.
-
I think it's been well established that nobody gives a shit about my music tastes at this place.
Also, they were mentioned earlier on this page.
Edit: But since when is Tiger Army a psychobilly band? Tiger Army are a bunch of bass string sucking bear trap fuckers.
-
Hmmmmmm, favorite Music year....

-"Revolver", The Beatles
-"Freak Out!", Frank Zappa
-"Pet Sounds", Beach Boys
1969

Korn Guitarist Finds God, Leaves Band
By Jonathan Cohen
NEW YORK (Billboard) - Korn guitarist Brian "Head" Welch has parted ways with the hard rock act, citing a recent religious awakening.
Welch broke the news Sunday on Bakersfield, Calif., station KRAB-FM.
"I had it in my heart to come here and explain to you," Welch said. "I'm good friends with Korn. I love those guys, and they love me, and they're very happy for me."
Addressing the aggressive tone of the music he made with Korn, Welch said, "Anger is a good thing, and if kids want to listen to Korn, good, but there's happiness after the anger. I'm going to show it through my actions how much I love my fans."
Welch added that he would be appearing at a local church on Feb. 27, during which time he would "speak (about) how I got to this place in my life, and I'll answer all your questions."
On its official Web site (http://www.korn.com), Korn's remaining members said they respect Welch's wishes and hope "he finds the happiness he is searching for." The group is in the studio working on a new album, due in September, which will be its first since fulfilling its contract with Epic last year.
For now, no replacement for Welch has been named, nor has a new label home for the band.
Wow I didn't see it comming, well not this way anyway! I hated KoRn's last album, but always hoped they'd find their form again. I guess the next album could be quite different, and quite possibly their last with how things are looking...
-
heh.
Hmm.. favorite year is hard, but I loved 1996...
Tool- Aenima
Failure- Fantastic Planet
Weezer- Pinkerton
Beck- Odelay
The Wallflowers- Bringing Down The Horse
Sublime- Sublime
Pearl Jam- No Code
The Cure- Wild Mood Swings
Soundgarden- Superunknown
Foo Fighters- Foo Fighters
Rage Against the Machine- Evil Empire
Eels- Beautiful Freak
Descendants- Everything Sucks
The Melvins- Stag
Alice In Chains- Alice In Chains
311- 311
The Flaming Lips - Clouds Taste Mettallic
...among others
The mid 90's was a great time for alternative/ post-rock/whatever it's called... ah, the 90's...
-
1978 had:
Sonic's Rendezvous Band - City Slang
Radiators From Space - Ghostown
Led Zeppelin's Knebworth show
That ought to be enough for anyone.
-
Yeah, for anyone named canned eggs. Quit pushing all your shit down my throat. In my mind, good music didn't even start until the 80s.
Man, that sucks about the Korn guitarist finding god. First he just made shitty music. Now he's another countless scared fool who cannot find answers to such complicated questions through something so mind-numbingly simple. Tragic.

I've have to go with 1992. Metallica and GnR striding around as the biggest bands on the planet, Faith No More's album "Angel Dust" redefining metal.
I used to frequent this metal club back then, was great.
-
Faith No More is a metal band? Who knew?

More on that KoRn story on Hed quiting and finding Jesus... Now he looks like Jesus! this is weird!...

Thousands of pilgrims are baptized annually in the revered river where according to the Biblical tradition, John the Baptist baptized Jesus. (AP Photo/Lefteris Pitarakis)

i put down other just because i dont know how to classifly what ive been listening to latley. Mostly "noise" bands on this local lable, www.loadrecords.com (http://www.loadrecords.com) check out lightning bolt, and the white mice.
-
I have one word to anyone out there saying Anal Cunt is the worst band ever...
Mortician.
Seriously, they suck more ass than any band on the face of the planet.
-
I cant belive Head left the band. I think its the worst thing to happen to music I like since Rage broke up.
-
Perhaps he should have left the band a few years ago, before Korn started to get really shitty.
-
something ive just discovered, which i know hasn't hit it off in Australia and the US, is The Servant. they are a UK group, one of their songs was used in the Sin City trailer, and from there i just got the whole album, its all pretty cool. not too sure what you'd classify it as though. for anyone interested the song in the sin city trailer is "Cells" by the servant.
-
My favourite year for music was 1994, and the reason is one single album:
Jeff Buckley's Grace. The album that has influenced me the most of all albums in the history of everything.
The worst year for music? 1997. The tragic death of Jeff Buckley on may 29th.
I don't really have milestone years besides that, at least not ones that I have noticed. I may have a cluster of favourite albums from one year, but it'd be 100% coincedental.
-
2001 was a great hip-hop year. Nelly's Country Grammer, Eminem's The Marshall Mathers LP, Dr. Dre's 2001.
I'm trying to switch my music tastes. If I was to listen to a different type of music other than rap, I would go for rock. (Sum 41, Simple Plan, Uncle Cracker) Any suggestions for songs?
-
Sum41 - "We're all to blame", its almost a bit to heavy for me at the start, but its nice once it gets into it.
The Servant - "Cells" - not so much rock, but i like it nonetheless.
-
My suggestion is to give the whole thing a miss. Sum 41 sucks a major amount of ass, and Uncle Cracker is if anything even worse.

Right, I'd be sad too if some guy quit a self-destructive lifestyle and found happiness. Especially if his approach to it was different from mine. In that case I would feel compelled to call him a scared idiot who can't understand the world.
You're a scared joyless idiot who can't understand the world.
for someone who's all like "you guys could bring out my good side, be nice to me" you sure do act like a dick. "Love me! And by the way, a large number of you are retards".
-
Hmm yup mhmm uh-huh yeah yup yeppers mhmm uh-huh yes yep okie dokie :rolleyes:
I'm having a hard time finding good stuff on Soulseek lately. Though I did find some Municipal Waste, a band I'd been meaning to hear for a while. That's some good stuff! Peoples lists aren't loading though(I keep getting errors) and I have no hope of finding anything through the search engine. I guess it's true what they say. The only way to find anything decent is to make friends with someone in the chats.
-
Talking of music, a shout out to the girl I overheard at my University of Surrey interview today for Music & Computer Sound Design, who was talking about a piece she was composing which was going to be made up of Bender samples...sounded interesting.
-
New Audioslave album coming in May, snooner than I thought! I've just listened to the first single "Be Yourself". Very meh affair, it's ok, but way too radio friendly and safe. Where's the aggression, I need more heavy RATM riffs. This album better not suck, or I'll start to worry that everything I was looking foward to musically this year will disappoint. Maxim's new album was disappointing, it's good, but no Hells Kitchen. If this goes the same way then I'll loose faith in music for 2005 and just stick to the cloolsome videogames coming. At least they won't disappoint. Donkey Kong Jungle Beat has already proved that!...
-
Hooray, great news for all North of America fans!
Michael Catano and Jim McAlpine of North of America have a new band called The Holy Shroud and they've just released their first album, called Ghost Repeaters.
You can listen to one song here: http://www.myspace.com/levelplane (http://www.myspace.com/levelplane)
It sounds pretty nifty to me, although it's a lot straighter than what I had expected. But it sounds like music that would rock live.
-
Whoa.. I just heard the new White Stripes single, 'Blue Orchid'.
Jack sounds like the guy from the Scissor Sisters for some reason, which is quite bizarre. Catchy, though. Damn streaming radio kept cutting out when I tried to record it.
I think I need to hear it again.

I listen to nice mixture of music.
Papa Roach, AC/DC, Beastie Boys, Rage Against the Machine, Weird Al Yankovic.
But I listen mainly to Rock

Jeremy: You know an awful lot about music you hate, heheheh.

Yeah, and I thought it was pretty damn funny.
Also, I liked the fact that they quotes Bill Hicks on this opportunity (in the news section of Tool's official site, that is).

I just "acquired" The Solution's album. Motown style soul band with the guy from the Hellacopters. You know I like it.
I was driving a car with just a tape player today, and I must have listened to Master of Reality like six times.

i think i would go with go with rock because i love guns and roses

Woo. Speaking of Black Flag, I'm seeing Henry Rollins (spoken word) on the same day as the end of this year's exams.

Let's see this...(from the now closed thread Cap'n linked)
1. blink 182
2. new found glory
3. good charlotte
4. greenday
5. the offspring
6. sum 41
7. boxcar racer
8. bowling for soup
9. jimmy eat world
10. no doubt
None of those are true punk bands. The only ones of those that is close is Green Day and The Offspring. Blink 182 is in hiatus, NFG sucks, as does Good Charlotte. Sum 41 and Jimmy Eat World are more alternative rock. Boxcar Racer is more emo, if my memory serves me right. And No Doubt is nowhere near punk.
True punk is those said by Cap'n, Sex Pistols, The Ramones, etc. Other bands with punk-ish roots or punk style are Nirvana (Bleach and Incesticide have some partially punk tracks), Green Day, and The Offspring. All of today's "punk bands" aren't anything near punk. I'm sick of people saying they're punk when they're either emo, goth or "Hot Topic" and bands/people saying bands are punk.
The only of those "punk bands" listed by the closed thread I like are Green Day, The Offspring, Sum 41, and Jimmy Eat World. All the others either suck or I don't care about.
Also, I like real punk and partial punk that I listed alot better than today's crappy "punk"...if you haven't noticed yet. Also, emo is "okay and all". Some of it sucks, others are okay/good, and others I don't care about.

Yeah, I got the video... That must have cost all of 30 cents (plus beers) to make. An impressive wad of cash.

I like all out, balls to the grinder metal.
-
Depending on who you ask, that can be descriptive of quite a few different genres. Do you mean old-school Priest and Maiden? Pantera? Meshuggah?
-
You know, balls to the grinder kind of stuff. Ususally more modern, like slipknot, mudvayne, and such.
-
Finally, a MuDvAyNe fan! I don't see Metal as a genre; that's a pretty large group. BTW, "Heavy Rock" is properly called "Hard Rock". I'm very particular about music styles.
Oh my...newer rock and metal, older metal (speed, doom, thrash--NOT "TRASH", you friggin Euros!!! SAY IT RIGHT!!!), classic rock, some grunge. I'd say "Heavy Rock" sums it up for me.
-
I know absolute shit-all about music, so I've gotta know this one thing: What genre is Muse? It's the girl I like's favourite band and after listening to a few of their songs I'm not sure what exactly it's s'posed to be.
-
Awwww.... lil' Moley's in loooooove.
And to answer your question: I don't know. But with a name like Muse, my brain alarm bells are ringing in the new year of potential horror over and over and over...
-
I like a lot of different stuff: soul, punk, metal, 80s. I haven't had a lot of time to listen to music lately , but have been enjoying some Blondie, Marilyn Manson, Green Day, Smiths, All/Descendents and The Cure.
-
Muse is great. They started out as a bit of a Radiohead rip, but their album 'Absolution' from 2003 is awesome (probably my third favourite release of that year after 'Elephant' and 'De-Loused in the Comatorium'. I can't believe you haven't heard of them. I'm sure if someone played you 'Hysteria' or 'Stockholm Syndrome', you'd recognise them.
To answer your question, kind of heavy-but-kind-of-morose, bends-period-radiohead-esque brit rock.
You should definitely check them out. Especially so if it's gonna get you some action..
EDIT: Oh, and their live show is fantastic.
-
Lousy Ben and his "I actually know stuff" approach to music.
Infact, damn everyone who knows about music.
Stumbling through absolutely blind is the only way to be. At least I can come up with on-the-spot rants about anything I hear and hate without actually having to justify it through use of actual music terms.
Granted, this means I'll often say stuff like "This sucks because there's no melody, the guitar guy has been playing the same sound the entire song and it's boring, and the singer... shouldn't," but then, you know what I'm talking about, right?
Of course, I tend to get chewed out by musos, but hey, penalties of the life.
...
I'll check them out, then. Muse, that is. I haven't come up enough reasons to hate Radiohead-ish music, yet.
EDIT: Just listened to Apocalypse Please. If it was a dairy product, it'd be "I can't believe it's not Radio Head!" Seriously. Perhaps a little more electronic...
-
Thanks Ben, you Bush-hating pirate you!
So far I've been listening to Feeling Good, Bliss, Hysteria and Time Is Running Out and I like what I hear. It's a tad samey, but it's pretty good. I'll keep listening. :D
-
Since rock is so far ahead, I voted for hip hop. Nothing like gettin back at someone you hate by doing battle via mic. :p
Also, Indian tribal music.
-
Muse is fantastic. Pity all I like of theirs is a couple of guitar riffs...
-
i really like muse. at least their last album, which is the only one i have listened. i liked all the noisy songs, hysteria, stockholm syndrome, time is running out, and the tracks 11 and 13, i don't remember the title.
-

I finally discovered Muse last year and think they're fantastic :) They're probably the most rock-ish of bands I like ...
-
I've heard Muse described as an operatic Radiohead. Which is pretty close to right. Bliss is a top song. I'm quite fond of their first album, Showbiz, Absolution was alright though.
I had tickets to see them last year, but couldn't go because of swimming. :(
-
I voted for other, as I like pop-punk i.e. Green Day but i also like 'inaudiable' music such as Slipknot and in-betweens i.e. My Chemical Romance. However I wouldn't vote for rock/punk rock because that puts me in the softer, more easy-going section with Mr. Good Charlotte and (with some idiots) Mrs. Avril Lavigne
Muse are great - I've only got Absolution so far. Kerrang! classifies them as rock, along with Weezer, Foo Fighters, QOTSA, RHCP etc.
-
My Chemical Romance is emo, or emotional rock. And those last two bands/singers you listed in the first paragraph, I hate. They say they're punk, but when a real punk comes up, they'd run away like sissies.
Muse is pretty good. I haven't heard much of their music, though.
-
I thought:
a)Emo was short for emotional hardcore
b)That it applied more to Taking Back Sunday i.e. slightly quieter, less distorted guitars
c)My Chemical Romance were Post-Hardcore, as very few of their songs are what would be classified as emo (only example I'm sure of is 'I'm Not OK), they have very Hardcore, almost Metal songs ('Thank You For The Venom') and an experimental edge (intro to 'Hang 'Em High')
The point of my previous message was, although Good Charlotte aren't Pop-Punk Rock any more (as they were in TY&TH) and Avril Lavigne was never Pop-Punk Rock, idiots such as almost all labels and commercial radio stations would classify them as as that.
That was a long, serious post. My fingers ache.
-
Disregard. I'm in the wrong thread.
-
Bah, classical music is not even avaiable. To think I have to vote for the same alternative as those, uh, other people. Yeah. Scandal I say! We need more Piano-music.
-
No, emo is emotional rock. There is no such thing as emotional hardcore, as those are two contradicting sections of rock.
Post-Hardcore? Hardcore is from the 70s and 80s during the punk area, and again with some grunge bands putting out punk/hardcore songs and albums. And let me tell you, I have the album "Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge", so I know some of the stuff that they do.
Finally, emo cannot mean emotional hardcore if it applies to bands that have a more softer tone as Taking Back Sunday does, since hardcore is a more punk style. Taking Back Sunday is emo because emo means emotional rock.
I don't mean these things in any offensive way or in anyway that says that "I'm right, you're wrong."
And where's hard rock or alternative rock or grunge up there on that poll? Like the PEELer I said, it's a scandal!
-
Emo originally was emotional hardcore, but the semantics have drifted with musical fashion. listen to Rites of Spring, for whom the term was coined, or Kurt; they're fast mid-period hardcore bands with the emo trademark annoying sort of wail-y vocals, and crappy lyrics about emotional problems. A lot of non-emo speedy-screamy hardcore bands from the '90s got called emo because of this. Orchid!, Shikari, etc. The whiny pop shit didn't appear till later. The mainstream music that gets called emo is nothing like this early stuff, and is certainly not hardcore, as Dr. Weiner pointed out.
-
I stopped trying to define 'emo music' long ago.. it seems like any remotely depressive song/ band will get shoved into the emo fold- it's a culture that defines it's own music, rather than a hard-set genre.
Muse are my favourite band. Having been to the last night of their tour last December, I can confirm that their live act is fucking incredible, both in terms of experience and music- I listen to a live version of Bliss from that night more often than the normal version.
The Radiohead connection is there, but I don't think it goes past Showbiz, they have their own sound. 'Orchestral rock' describes it nicely, with guitar riffs mixed in with elaborate piano pieces and choirs etc..
I'd recommend Origin Of Symettry to anyone, it's probably the most normal one they've done. Absolution is probably the better album, but takes much more getting into.
Oh, and their b-sides are great too. Fury and Deadstar are good enough to be main tracks on an album.
Good luck with that musey girl M0le! Lucky bastard...
-
some VERY strange music i came across a while ago, and i have only just listened to one of the songs in its entirety is actually pretty cool.
"Providence" - Godspeed You! Black Emperor.
the track is 28 minutes long, but its split into sections, if you can find "Kicking horse on brokenhill" thats the best part. Very hard to classify what type of music it, so lets just say alternative...very VERY alternative.
-
It's orchestral/noisy/ um... sorta... yeah. They also play guitars with screwdrivers and make weird wobbly noises.
-
Godspeed You! Black Emperor are pretty cool. Just ask Speli. I prefer Mogwai though... I guess they are not quite as experimental...
I think the genre is post-rock, isn't it?
Sunn 0))), now they make an interesting sound (and that one sound goes for 30 minutes).
-
Guitar Wolf have a song about Godspeed You! Black Emperor.
-
I'm listening to the new Audioslave album at the momnt (it comes out next week btw). It's not a complete waste of time, it's hit and miss. The opening track is crap, a total rip-off-riff from Metallica's "Bad Seed". The title track is awesome to the max though! The rest so far is just good, but not very heavy. I'll buy it next week...
-
Hey you Aussies who like The Music, get their new album and stuff, discuss... please? I'm lonely... :(
-
Bump-a-rooni
Does anyone occasionally listen to classical?
For the moment I'm into Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov.
-
This thread is funny. I used to think "crust" meant the same thing as "powerviolence". Although I must say I do like Hellshock...
-
no blues?
i like everything except emo
rap, hip hop, country, classic rock, heavy metal, hardcore punk, punk, some indie, I love jazz, a little techno
i went with heavy rock
-
Yeah Zeej, Radetzkys March is great, I mostly listen to classical movie scores though.
Also I have no idea what Lampy Bag is talking about...
-
I enjoy Muse as well.

Feeling good is a cover of an Eels song.
Anybody like Eels?
I used to listen to nothing but rock, SOAD is still one of my favorite band but last summer I got into more mellow music. I've been hooked on Eels ever since- have over 150 of there songs.
I'd highly advise at least checking out a few of the following...
Novocaine for the soul, Flyswatter, I like birds, Efils' god, I write the B-sides, Bus Stop boxer, Cancer for the cure, and (the original) feeling good.
In my more mellow phase I've also enjoyed Badly Drawn Boy a lot.
Greatly straying from the mellow... anyone listen to DDT or Dog Fasion Disco?
-
DDT - the russian band?
-
DDT is Russian electronic music right? I think I recall the name, but it must have been like 5 years ago since I last heard from them.
-
they're a really old rock band
-
I dunno what DDT is, I found it on my step dad's hard drive and really liked it. I particularily like...lemme check... Chlorine, Can't take my eyes off you, Blue Hair Crime, and my favorite, Liquid.
-
yeah it's them. i looked em up some time ago 'cause someone mentioned them here (maybe you?)
-
I think I did mention them in the Infectious Tunes thread not too long ago. Wow, so you've heard of them. Whata ya think of 'em?
Anybody listen to Eels too? I occationally stumble onto these bands once in awhile and I have no idea how big they are. I dunno why I have such a desire to know. just curious I guess.
-
Oh yeah the Eels, I somehow have half of their album on my computer. Always reminds me of my ex who liked them so much though.
-
sorry about the possible negetive association
I bet you when he first started liking you he'd listen to "Jeannie's Diary." After your first date he'd switch on "pretty Ballerina." And "saturday morning" when you two were going steady... when things started to fall apart he would listen to "Daisies of the Galaxy" (the greatest song/album title of all time). When you two broke up he listened to "It's a motherfucker" and Four years down the line he might be listening to "I'm gonna stop pretending that I didn't break your heart," or "dirty girl." and at any point in your relationship he could indulge in "Hey man (now you're really living)" hopeful no "Restraining Order Blues" were in order.
::Swish::
Which album was that anyways? Someone needs to educate me on the art of a good TOTPD.
-
hmmm, mainly i listen to, and am listening to right now sort of experimental/down tempo music...
I like many different styles though, except pop and death metally stuff, i like a bit of everything
-
I listen to everything but I can never get enough of rock and heavy metal. Pantera , Machine Head , Korn , Hatebreed etc.
-
i been getting into a lot of local bands
this is the best and most local band i like
Calm In Sight (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=17227747)
it turns out I used to know one of the guys, he used to work at the Skate park when i was a Wii lad. the bass player died, so they dont do shows anymore
they are a heavy punk
-
Everyone needs to listen to more Thin Lizzy...
GO!
-
Damn straight.
-
Hey Show- you seem to be pretty on the ball with your Eels stuff... But please- Fucker is by far the best breakup song.
Yeah, I've been into Eels since I heard Susan's House back when it came out, and ever since, I've been a faithful buyer of their stuff, and should you be following the materialist thread, you may have noticed my semi-recent influx of Eels loot. I have no idea how many songs I have, but it's darn close to all of them. So yeah... approved.
-
Fucker is a great so, i guess I've got a soft spot for songs with piano that have "it's a motherfucker" as it's first line. I couldn't find the theard that you shared all the eels loot you just got, so I gotta ask, have you heard "I Write the B-Sides"? I never saw the CD anywhere except this online mp3 site. it's pretty excellent. I also have close to all of their songs but there's this one, something like "covers and b-sides" or something, that I haven't been able to find, but I know it exsists because my friend downloaded it off of limewire or something. Anyways, yeah, they're an excellent band to get into because they have so much material, it's crazy.
-
I've had a Silky Hargraves song stuck in my head all day. I like saying "Silky Hargraves."
Ssssssssssilky Hargravessssssssssssss.
-
i love the Eels... so much i capitalise their name.. thankyou, and goodnight.
-
I like pop and rock.I voted pop.
-
I love Hip-Hop, and I love to dance it!
:P
-
have i posted here recently? whatever.
i like death metal (some thrash and power metal is good too), hardcore, punk, alternative, underground hip-hop, trance, psytrance and drum'n'bass.
-
I don't love hip-hop, and I'm a white guy, so I can't dance.
I can stand some dancing music and some hip-hop/rap. Pop I can't stand. Heavy metal gets annoying after a while. Some of it's okay, but it aches my head. I like rock, hard rock, punk, and all that jazz...and jazz. Even some classical stuff is good. And music from movies, television, and theatre are in my liking as well.
Really, the only styles I hate are country and emo. All the rest are fine, even polka, but country sounds the same, more so than rap, and emo is...emo.
-
Grind/powerviolence, hardcore punk, SunnO))) and Khanate.
That sums up my music tastes for the most part.
-
What about Earth?
-
Who?
-
They pioneered the whole drone metal thing and were a major influence for SunnO))) and Khanate, which is why I thought you might like them.
-
Never heard of them before. Time to fire up Soulseek.
I have some other doom/drone shit on my computer like Ocean, Grief, Deadbird, Jesu, etc. It's okay, I guess. At least if the bands are going to play slow, they're going to play extremely slow. But I prefer fast most of the time.
Edit: Holy molar. Never look up "Earth" on Soulseek. You'll get a swarm of locusts and possibly bit by an albatross. Someone might force you to become a Green Beret.
-
I suggest you simply download their second album, aptly titled "Earth 2". The titles are "Seven Angels", "Teeth of Lions Rule the Divine" and "Like Gold and Faceted". That's roughly 70 minutes of music, that should be enough.
And believe me, they're slow.
-
Ha? Never heard of Earth?...
Sunn O))) was formed as a tribute to Earth...
-

I will repeat this because I'm no expert of drone. My specialities are of the aforementioned.
-
I hate music, I just buy cd's to peel off the price sticker and lick the glue. Thats my favourite music taste.

Lamp & Spiff: There's this cool sludge band called Dead Meadow that my old drummer just got me into. They actually sound like a '60s psych-rock band over the top of Noothgrush.
