I tend to be more of a rocker. I like most bands..system of a down are okay, but don't appeal to me that much.
I don't mind stuff like johnny cash aswell..he has some catchy tunes. |
The new Vader album Impressions in Blood is fantastic. Hunt down a copy if you enjoy death metal even just a teensy tiny bit.
The new Motorhead album Kiss of Death, much love for that one too. Motorhead has been putting out a consistently good product for about 30 years now, they rarely slip. Ghostface Killah's Fischscale is a real tight, dark rap album. Best offering from a Wu Tang member in years. And those are the albums that are stuck in my head as of right... NOW! |
I haven't heard anything by System of a Down, that I know of. I've been meaning to check out their music.
Current genres and their bands: Thrash Metal: Slipknot, Korn, Dethklok Heavy Metal: Metallica Punk: Green Day Japanese: Imakuni?, Jindou, Ulfuls, Asian Kung-Fu Generation, L'Arc En Ciel Salsa: Son By Four, Tropical Fantasia Mariachi: Mariachi Arriba Juarez Indie: Ivy Romance Metal: HIM Alt. Rock: Steve Burns Misc: The Rutles, Akira Yamaoka, Peter McConnell, John Williams, VeggieTales, Joe Hisaishi, Danny Elfman, |

deep purple, the doors, led zeppelin. <<-very good plus sting here and there.... and iggy pop ofcourse... nirvana probably.... ''Motorhead '' <<-don't like |
Nirvana over Motorhead?
Well, you can't expect somebody to get it all right. |
Just because Nirvana got way overhyped doesn't mean that they weren't a very good band. Because they were. Motorhead on the other hand..........
|
I chose "other." some of my favorite music comes from video games. Many songs I have heard from games is very inspiring, and has a definite feeling to it. It's great to listen to while typing stories, drawing, day dreaming, and many other things.
As for favorite bands, I like to listen to some Linkin Park, (not all of it, some of it just sounds the same after a while,) Weird Al Yankovich, some Nightmare Before Christmas, and other random songs that I enjoy. |
:
Things on the ol' empefree: Labradford. Sigur Ros. Tom Waits*. Roger Eno. Primus. Modest Mouse. *Been a fan for a bit, but only just got around to getting Mule Variations. |
I'm a hard core rocker, since I was little. My dad would always play it at the old apartment.
But I do listen to hip-hop and rap, a little bit. I'm also in lurve with classical, as it is calming and... Yeah, calming. I pretty much listen to anything with a good beat. Even the old Mr. Sandman, and Lollipop. |
Does anyone listen to Seether? They've got really good songs and their lead singer Shaun Morgan has a good voice.
|
Nirvana/Motorhead is the new Seinfeld/Friends.
How could you have anal sex with a pineapple? Do they even have anuses? |
Insertion of a pineapple. Into anus. I think that's what he was GHOEN 4 lol
:
|
It was just a joke. I know how to have anal sex with pineapples, thankyouverymuch.
|
ah pineapple.....
never heard a thing about seather and WTF is seinfeld? I've said ''nirvana probably...'' i'm not their fun or something. Also guns 'n' roses are great thing for me (i'm pointing at civil war right now) |
You never heard that Seinfeld/Friends thing? How in the 90s you could ask somebody "So, what do you think is funnier, Seinfeld or Friends?"
If you liked the opposite show to the other person you could almost guarantee that it would be hard to relate to their sense of humor. I'm saying that Nirvana/Motorhead is like that. I'm going to have a very hard time relating to someone musically if they like Nirvana more than Motorhead. Though the Nirvana/Pearl Jam thing is more like Seinfeld/Friends. /I like Pearl Jam over Nirvana for the record. |
There is also the even more classic Elvis vs. Beatles. You can like both but noone likes them both equally.
|
The new album by "The Mars Volta" is frikkin incredible.
|
Hmm, haven't posted here in a while.
So far, the only new band my ears have picked up have been the White Stripes. But I'll make a little list just for the hell of it. General rock (includes indie, folk, etc.): The Band, White Stripes, Joni Mitchell, and the Gorillaz? I would have included the Olivia Tremor Control, but I still need to get off my ass and buy Black Foliage. Probably the most unique group I've ever heard. Composers (includes film, classical, etc.): Maurice Ravel, George Bizet, Danny Elfman, Howard Hanson, Thomas Newman, Ennio Morricone, Luis Enrique Bacalov, and Key Poulan to some extent. |
Some new people that I've heard since I voted on the thread:
Heartland. They're debut song "I Loved Her First" is awesome! It's a sweet song. Taylor Smith. Her debut song "Tim McGraw" like heartland's, is awesome. It's very sweet. Some new songs I heard: "I Loved Her First" "Tim McGraw" "My Little Girl" by Tim McGraw Yes, I'm a country fan...so sue me...-_-" |
I think I could. I think you can sue for that.
|
I tried listening to contemporary/pop country in the car with my mom and other relatives on numerous occasions. After about 15 minutes I freak out and ask "How can you stand this shit? Its so trite and boring! Do you have any older country music or rock you like?" Is it just me, or has country on the radio been suckass pop music with twangy guitars and almost completely lacking in merit for oh, I don't know, 10 years?
300th Post in the the thread. Booyah. |
More like 20.
|
Also, it's proven that country makes people more aggressive. Even Acid Rock made people less upset after listening to it...
|
Country makes people more aggressive after they listen to it? Most of its a bunch of pansy shit about how perfect their lives and wives are in East Nowhere, Suburbia nowadays. Or how much they love "God". I say that because its never just "God" or "Jesus" because its sang in a smarmy, over the top fashion and so molismoed it ain't even English anymore.
"Ah love Jay-esus!" I can't understand the appeal. How its outselling rap and metal is beyond me, though both of those have fell off in quality on the radio, too. |
I don't know exactly how it makes people more aggressive, but it does.
Maybe something to do with how people hate stupid people, and country sounds like a bunch of stupids gathered up for a meeting. They ran tests to prove this. they played different kinds of music very silently at the restauraunt. They had people take surveys after their meal, and more people were aggressive, rude, and mean when they took the survey after listening to country. Funny little fact... |
Here is an article about aggression as it relates to music.
http://www.apa.org/journals/releases/psp845960.pdf They bitch about heavy metal lyrics being incomprehensible, though men could interpret them and hear the words clearer than women. Listen don't hear! Also, after listening to violent music people scored significantly higher on verbal tests related to "violent words". The paper made some good points but I think the whole methodology is pretty flawed. I don't like how for the non-violent stuff they used two Beastie Boys songs to offset the harder rap(Cypress Hill and Run DMC) in the second test. They also stuck with the song Jerk Off again for the second test even though it wasn't contrasted with another Tool song like the first test was. A mellower Suicidal Tendencies song was chosen to offset I Wouldn't Mind in the second test though. Sloppy sloppy. The Night Santa went Crazy, even while being a humorous song had the same relative effects as the serious(their words) violent music did. Weird. Why the hell did they use Violent Femmes in the second part? Also, way to say that people who like "violent" music will be sucked into a spiral of "antisocial behavior", APA. Way to just pull that right out of your ass, Anderson and Carnegy. How do they explain the metal and hard rap communities if this music causes "relationships to deteriorate" and creates a "hostile work environment" that effects "personality". What are we supposed to listen to, you big whiny douches? In short, I knew the whole study would be bullshit when they referenced the PMRC in the first paragraph of the paper. And where was the country music!?!?! |
I fully agree with you. I listen to quite a few violent songs, (including The night santa went crazy) and I am not "anti- Social."
Some people are just stupid like that I guess... |
You only feel the music if you listen to it. I reccomend Shpongle, or pretty much any decent ambient stuffs.
Click microradio. I like this muchly, probably due to Melodies from Mars being my favourite Aphex Twin album. |

Yeah. Metallica are more trip hop i think you'll find.
|
I think ANN NEELY was being deliberately obtuse. Korn is a nu-metal band, Dethklock is a parody band that satirizes many different forms of metal with their own show on Adult Swim.
Metallica was one of the finest thrash bands in America at one time. Say, I don't know, 14 years ago? After looking at some other studies on the effects of music don't listen to music. Its all bad for you. Country Music: Increases alcohol consumption, decreases frequency of sex, leads to early marriages. Rap music: Promotes gang violence, objectification of women, and drug use. Heavy Metal music: You'll turn into a sociopath and hate women and religion. Adult Contemporary: You'll turn into a pussy. Jazz/Rock Fusion: People will laugh at you for liking artists like Chick Corea and you'll never get laid. You'll wank constantly to Zappa "pick" albums and you'll die a broken man. Funk: Cocaine is a helluva drug! |
Interesting results... But no where on there does it say Video game music is bad although I can probably imgine what it'd say...
Video game music: People will think you are a geek if you listen to it in public. Stay confined to your room for the rest of your life. Which works fine for me... |
I bought a bunch of albums recently. All of which I love.
Califone- Roots and Crowns- Awesome Holopaw- self titled- Beautiful Holopaw- Quit +/or Fight- Extra crazy beautiful Built To Spill- Keep it Like a Secret- The absolute shit I recommend all these titles. Buy them. Love them. |
I'll try and find a few samples... those sound pretty good.
I recommend Weird Al Yankovich. One of the funnier people out there. |
I'm more of an oldies junkie (0w0) music from the 1920's to the 1950's. To be speicific, rag-time, jazz, and dixieland.
|
I also enjoy Jazz. I used to play the Saxophone in middle school, but I rarely play it anymore.
And I remember listening to some rag-time. it's pretty good! |

Yes, I quite enjoy being obtuse. I know that Korn is Nu-Metal, it's just that a lot of stupid people argue with me on that, so, I try to save my keyboard the work and just label it "Thrash Metal". I've heard Metallica described more as a "pop" genre nowadays, but never a "trip Hop". As for Dethklok, I know it's a show. |
You know, I quite enjoy the Rat Pack...
