music

[Genral.E.Stupid]

so what are all you oddworld fans into music wise then?

im into a bit of everything from 80's gothic to black metal (its all good) i also like to take a route through the oldschool ska section to)

[pinkgoth2]

I like all kinds of genres, but only one band makes my day: Apollo 440. Considering they do everything from ambiet/classic over dance and rock to heavy metal and hiphop, with a bit of jazz in this song and some blues here and a lot of drum 'n' bass everywhere... can't see anything else wedging itself between me and the Liverpool trio.
If you think they're uncreative then you've only heard their singles. ;) I don't know who picks the singles, but it's a crap selection.

You might know them from their insanely popular evergreen "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Dub", or, if you're REALLY into 80s and know of Magazine/Devoto, you'll have heard of them.

English people: NME thinks they suck for a specific reason: Noko was part of "Luxuria" with Devoto (a punk rock icon), and obviously Devoto is important. Well. NME seems to find Noko was trying to be too important back then, and so now that he's Apollo440's guitarrist, they diss Apollo 440. Sad picture, sadder excuse.

Aside from that, I listen to Linkin Park (even if I realise they objectively aren't that good the music just GETS to me, people :D ), some Marilyn Manson if it's good, some Moby if it's good, some Anastasia, some Highland... some anything, really. Heck, I even like "OOOOHWEEEE!" or whatever the song is called. *laughs*

Hmm... I really don't like 100% of R&B in the charts and 50% of all hiphop in the charts. I have a personal grouch against Destiny's Child, so if you're a DC fan, bring it on ;)

I think that about covers it.

Oh, Oddworld music obviously beats everything. Or not :D



- TyA... or Neike Satana, highpriestess of the apollo apostels / the camden cult (yes, the cult is a big joke, you can calm down again)


Edit: Oh! OH! I know! They can perform live with two drummers! ... ... okay. I'm done now... I think. o_o
Edit2: And yes, Noko + Devoto are the same Noko + Devoto from my Noko + Devoto signature file.

[munchman]

my kind of music is, hard rock, rock, metal
i hate, rap, country, pop and so on......

[SeaRex]

Ska rulez General! (did the "z" make me sound cooler?)

I'm more of a punk man myself...

[Danny]

I like too wide a selection of music to list what I like... It would be a lot quicker to list what I don't like:

Commercial Pop
Nu-Metal/Hip-Hop
Rap (I'm overgeneralising here - some rap is good, but all too much of it is all the same...)
Dance (Ditto to above - Also, I don't include in this heading a lot of genres that record stores tend to put in the dance section, even though they are good, e.g. Trip-Hop, Ambient, etc.)

Hang on, I'll go and dig out one of the many topics that have been done on this subject before, since it would save me repeating myself too much...

http://www.oddworldforums.net/forums...ighlight=bands

http://www.oddworldforums.net/forums...ighlight=bands

http://www.oddworldforums.net/forums...ighlight=music - This is the one I actually bothered to list all the bands in my record collection in. Hell, was I bored...

http://www.oddworldforums.net/forums...ighlight=music

[Melvin:squeeking paramite]

Bad genres: (biased!)

Rap and hip hop (It pretty much all sounds the same.... I don't know if it's even music... The lyrics are crap, the tunes (if you can call them that) are all the same and annoying... And most of the rap people are incredibly untalented.)

Pop (Okay, it's hard to explain this one... When I say pop, I mean the over-popular crappy boy bands, the over-popular female musical "artists" who rely on their looks, you get the idea...)

Punk-pop (ick)

MOST metal (Some metal is very good, but I hate most mainstream, straight metal bands who just scream meaningless lyrics into a microphone. But some metal is pretty good... I like funk-metal...)

Country (I just.. don't like it)

Techno (playing three noises over and over doesn't appeal to me...)

Okay, so those are the genres that I don't like... But, of course, I can't stand some rock, classical, etc...

My favorite band is Pink Floyd... I like Frank Zappa... Primus is a great, underlooked band... Mr Bungle.... The Beatles... Smashing Pumpkins... Radiohead... Bob Dylan... Pere Ubu... Tool... Nine Inch Nails... Oysterhead... Many others, and next week I'll probably like about 10 more bands... I need to try Faith No More for Mike Patton... But I've heard they're rap-metal and rap-metal is usually shit...

[paramiteabe]

I am not really into the new age type stuff. I live with the old rock music of the 60's and 70's like.
1. Led Zeplon
2. Jimi Hendriks
3. The Beatles
4. The Doors
5. Dylan
6. Rolling Stones
7. Janas Joplyn
8. Pink Floyd
9. Solos of Lennon and George Harrison. May they rest in piece!
etc.
Basically I like hippie stuff. Sometimes I wish I lived through that era. I would of loved to be at the first Wood Stock to see Jimi Hendriks play the National Anthem wildly on his Guitar in the summer of 69. All that I know is that nobody nowadays will ever get back the sound of those times. Those were the legends of true Rock n Roll.

It's cool sometimes my brother. He owns an electric guitar and he can play Stair Way to Heaven almost perfactly. I usually listen to that music when I am doing my art work.

[Majic]

I to shall start with what I hate:

Rap *sudder* Thers like five "lil' " rappes now, and everything sucks....

Pop... Crappy boy bands and stupid freaks, dressing like lil pimps and such.

Country... I personaly don't like (generalization) listening to old giesers sing about roping cattle and stuff.

Heavy Metal, etc... Very painful to the ears, very indeed.

Now what I LIKE: Um, alternative, punk, rock, um rock stuff, Yea... Like um, Greenday, Five Iron Frenzy, The Offspring, One Man Army, Rancid, Less Than Jake, AFI, 311, Dropkick Murphys, Eve6, Garbage, Stroke 9, The Ataris, Sum 41, um, yea... And classical and disco are ok

EDIT: I don't see how, but I missed Bad Religion And The Beatles! Geez, I suck.

[Disgruntled Intern]

hmmmm
well, I guess I'll just list some of my favorite bands, rather than preferred genre, since I enjoy boring you all to death.

Rammstein, Soulfly, Sepultura, Black Funeral, Cradle of Filth, NIN, Static-X, Ramones, Bad Religion, Thrice, Blur, Coal Chamber, Seven Dust, Twisted Sister, Snot, Marilyn Manson, Pink Floyd, Hendrix, Cypress Hill, M.C. Hammer, Vanilla Ice, Metallica, Powerman 5000, WHITE [not rob] Zombie, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Screaching Weasel, Pearl Jam, Tool, Deftones, APC, Danzig, Misfits[when danzig was doing vocals..can't stand Michael Graves], 6 feet under, dredge, system of a down [pre toxicity] , AFI, The Biohazards, and a BUTT load of local bands. Now, for the ca ca I can't stand:

Blink 182, sum 41, new found glory, ANY pop, country, and most rap...I despise R&B as well. I hate a LOT of specific bands, but due to my short attention span, I shan't be listing them.

[Joe the Intern]

Like most everyone else, I start with what I hate:

Rap/Hip Hop
Commercial Pop (Britney Spears, Destiny's CHild, etc.)
Country
Techno

Bands that I like are:

Green Day
Blink 182
Sum41
The Hives
Unwritten Law
Jimmy Eat World

I also hate most Heavy Metal bands like Slipknot and Mudvayne. Maudvayne aren't even talented... Jeez.

[Disgruntled Intern]

It all depends on what you prefer, morgan. For those people, like me, who are "in tune" to "metal" you can pick up on talent pretty quick. Now, while mudvayne aren't the best, they certainly aren't without talent. Not that they have much, but it;s there. Now, blink 182 and sum 41,those guys have real talent.....

[Surfacing]

I'm into classical music and opera and a few symphonies, Beethoven is good too.

[Sal the Mudokon]

I, personally, like music.
To speak of genres would be WAY too broad, so I'm going to try something to mention the one's that I KIND of think are ok, but in shitty types of music.

Hate: MOST techno, minus that Basement Jaxx song, Nine Inch Nails (whatever Reznor is) and... yeah just those two.
Pop, unless they are female and the volume is turned completely down and I am prepared to have an erection.
Rap/Hip Hop/R&B/... I've come to the firm conclusion that, well, it ALL sucks. It's all the ****ing same! "Holla! Word! Pimpin Bitches, Money! Don't rhyme! I'm better than everyone, but have no REAL reason why!" there! I can sell that as a rap single.
Retro-Rock: WHAT THE ****!?!? WHO'S SHIT-HEAD IDEA WAS IT TO LOOK AND SOUND LIKE SOMETHING THAT SUCKED THE FIRST TIME AROUND?! It's just an idiotic way to cash in on lack of originallity and get an audience that can listen to music with their grandparents.

Like: Most Rock-type music: Nu-Metal...very little is worth listening to: Static X is pretty good, System of a Down is cool, most of the rest SUCKS(i.e. Mudvayne, Marylin Manson, Drowning Pool). Metal: Metallica, Iron Maiden, Ozzy, and Judas Priest will ALWAYS be the gods of the genre, though most of the rest died or got really, REALLY gay. Punk CAN be good as long as it has a purpose. In example: Blink 182: good, has lyrics that are pretty good and UNGODLY ketchy guitar riffs. Greenday:FAN-****ING-TASTIC lyrics!! and guitar parts that set the mood of the lyrics. Sum 41: Bringing guitar skill to the nu-punk(whatever you call it) scene. Most of the old REAL-PUNK bands...but somewhere in there, a bunch of bands cashed in on Greenday's garage-esque appeal. They mostly suck. I REALLY hate all the guys who are trying to project the image that they arent getting a record deal because they aren't in it to project an image...hypocrits.

That's music. **** all the rest. If you don't write it, if it doesnt have rhythm, beat, and a good sound, or isn't original in any way, get the **** out!

Me to Surfacing, and i like heavy metal, Slipknot, Mudvayne System Of A Down.

[pinkgoth2]

As much as I have to agree that a lot of what is in hip-hop is crap, I feel I have to defend the genre a little from all these assaults. The music idea itself is not actually crap. Maybe I'm blessed by living in germany, where german is a very good language for rap songs (see 3te Generation, even though that's not hiphop (pre-hiphop era)).

I think the problem is that most people these days are so on the look-out for new genres in the music business, like hyenas. So the second something comes up, they GRAB it, without considering whether they'll be good at it or not. It's new, it's hip, it's a chance to take!

All the good hiphop songs are being drowned out by the utter mass of untalented crap out there (not saying the song OOOHWEEE is awfully smart, by the way, I just like it subjectively, not objectively), and it must be very frustrating for the bands that know what they're doing.

I've never seen a new genre hit so negatively before. Maybe for once the "we must be bigger, better, faster" mentality is being a little crap - in thinking this, a lot of people forget what DIRECTION they ought to go in.

HipHop is scarred.
Maybe for life.

I kill you! *slowly wheels wood chipper in the direction of California*
You're next Dylan!

But, after all, diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks, and everyone is entitled to an opinion. For what they are, (Alternative) I like blink and sum, especially sum. But they're new song: killer chords, killer chorues, but the rap! I can't stand it! They shifted from Neo-Punk to the Beastie Boys! No! Not cool!

Since everyone else is listing music they don't like, I think I'll do it too.
Stuff I don't like:
Rap/Hip-Hop/R+B - Well, I don't really have a reason to like it, do I? But I like Gorillaz, I just wish they would lay of the rap...
Pop (American) - You know, like boy/girl bands. Some of it is fine. I can't say I hate all pop, though. I've been known to delve into J-pop/rock many a time (Guitar Vader, Shonen Knife, BOA, Cibo Matto). Plus, I like Gorillaz (again).
Nu-Metal - Now, I can tolerate it if there isn't any rap. I can see why ppl like the really screamy stuff, but it isn't for me...

NIN, techno? Either you don't know what techno is or you have no idea who Reznor is...

Stop badgering me about my musical tastes, Dave, and get on with your own life. I'm going no farther than this because I want to avoid a confrontation on the forums. Please, just leave me alone.

[Majic]

Hm, after some searchying I've found the German rap cd I have, the nice exchange student gave it to me. Lets see, Did Furma, um uhuh... Its actualy good. proably better to not understand the lyrics in rap

[Disgruntled Intern]

Oh, jesus Morgan, I was kidding around with you....lighten up!
as for me "badgering" you about your musical taste..come on man, stop being so dramatic....
and I must say, Luke, and Dylan, you two have successfully made me laugh..out loud no less!

[Joe the Intern]

Like I said, leave me alone.

[Statikk HDM]

Well, the almighty god of music taste tells me blink 182 is rife with talent. Oh really? Well instead of the new Anthrax cd, Superhero, I will buy one of theirs instead!(Laughs maniacly) And you know what, out go Primus and Ted Nugent, and Megadeth, hell, I got Sum 41 to listen to! Dude, don't give other people crap about what they like. I am sure you have no appreciation of the Nuge, and you probably didn't know who Ozzy was until he got that, you know, show on MTV, and has just been "off the hook" ever since. I am sure you know all the words to the chorus of Iron Man by know. I am Iron Man, neh. neh. neh neh neh. nehne nehne ne neh neh neh neh neh!!!!

[Statikk HDM]

Faith no more isn't shit. They do a kick ass cover of War Pigs on the Real Thing, but their true true goods are the Angel Dust and King for a day fool for a lifetime cds. They got all "dark" then. I feel that they have mutured exponentionally with the release of these over looked gems while The Real thing got all the press.(Slap whoa, what happened? You were talking like a dumbass. Heh heh heh heh heh.

[abe22]

Well I'm bored so I list all the people I like:

Ben. E King, Bobby Womack, Teddy Pendergrass (my 3 most favourite black singers) The Beatles and solos by Lennon and Harrison, Roy Obinson, Traveling Wilburys (that has Roy Obinson, George Harrison, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan and Tom Lyn in it), Bill Withers, Billy Joel, Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Bill Medley, Randy Crawford, B.B King, The Dells, The Drifters(with Ben. E King of course), Simon and Garfunkle, Four Tops, The Platters, The Animals had some good songs, Cat Stevens, Chris Rea, Beethoven, Louis Armstrong.
(That's not all of them)

Now The stuff I hate:
New age music all of it.

Well, the lyrics tend to (mostly) be just as (un)original as english lyrics, but that's not really my point. It's not the context that's better, but rather the general sound of the language itself. German is a lot sharper - far more fitting for rap than english will ever be.

And I don't even like rap! ;) Well... unless it's combined with stuff like NewAge (I like some of it, see 'Highland'), and I really avoid most hiphop - though, I repeat, not because it's hiphop, but because it's just bad.

I like most of the music I hear in the sense that I don't dislike it. I'll listen to whatever's on the radio, be it the real radio by my bed or the virtual one on PGR. I don't think I've ever heard a song I dislike on the PGR radio (I use the standard one, not customised).

I dislike: No specific generas.

I like: Most of the things I hear.

[salty pretzils]

i like rock, heavy metal, punk,some pop, the moulin rouge soundtrack(which I'm listening to at this very moment)
DI:hmmm.. why do we listen to music anyway?
(di- my R.P.G chracter, needs to learn to enjoy himself)

I was thinking that they would be pretty good... I just heard that they were rap-metal, and I usually hate that... But I will try out Angel Dust, especially for Mike Patton. Ever heard Mr. Bungle?

Are you talking to Matt (Sal the Mudokon) or me? If you're talking to me, I'd like to say that no one is this thread has said anything derogatory about the bands you listed. Ted Nugent is extremely talented, and (believe it or not) I HAD heard of Ozzy long before The Osbournes came on MTV.
