Favorite Music

[you made me ink]

O.K. so there is probly a thread on this already so im sry if i copied -lol- but i want to know what kinda of music all of yall like and what your favorite band or who your favorite artisit is...

...i would have to say my favorite music is Metal my fav. band is Lamb Of God and my fav. song by them is Omerta

[squall_japan]

I enjoy pop rock, alternative rock, slow rock any rock as long as it is not hard/heavy rock.

Currently listening to Nickelback, System of a Down, Story of the Year, Lifehouse, Staind.

Was/Still listening to Nine Days, Matchbox 20, Linkin Park, Green Day, 3 Doors down, simple plan, Good Charlotte etc...and of course Creed.

[Black_Moor]

For me it has to be classic rock.. late 60's early 70's .. but I do listen to alot of earlier rock as well.. and even Elvis alot (means i'm getting old I suppose) .. I love all forms, but my favorite band?

Anything by Deep Purple up through Perfect Strangers album would rate as my all time favorite and most listened too.. Newer DP is alright.. but not a big listen for me.. Favorite Deep Purple Song? That's a tough one.. a Lyrical song by them I'd say "Child in Time" and Insturnmental would deffinetly be "Son Of Alerik".

In the later Music realm i.e. Alternative, Grunge etc.. Mother Love Bone .. which I still listen to on a daily basis.. sadly though the band never went far as the lead singer died.. parts of which the band later formed Pearl Jam .. whom are near the same level for me as Deep Purple in respect and likeability. :)

I also have moments of strange music taste and listen to alot of Celtic as well.

[you made me ink]

...i like Enya...i really do listen to everything Pinky Floyd is Awesome Brain Damage and Eclipse are great songs

[pbrack]

Can't believe someone else listen's to Mother Love Bone! Do you listen to green river, screaming trees, mudhoney and alice in chains (Fav. band) too?

Can't leave out the Melvins and Primus either (even though they aren't grunge..but close enough :D

[Slappy*McFish]

Metal....(death metal, black metal, doom, power, progressive, grind core, etc.) :D
Fav bands include: Opeth, Carcass, Amorphis, Diabolical Masquerade, Agalloch, Dark Tranquility, Dimmu Borgir, Eucharist, Katatonia, Soilwork, My Dying Bride, Saturnus, Spiral Architect....yada yada.

I would say that Opeth is my fav band...'Still Life' is my fav. album.
I've seen them live a few times and got to meet and hang out with them after the shows. They're pretty laid back guys...very cool.

[mykidsmylife]

Okay...I'm going to prove my age and complete "un-coolness". My all time favorite is James Taylor!! LOL

I have pretty ecclectic taste in music...love Matchbox 20, The Beetles, George Strait, Miles Davis...those are my favorites I guess. How is that for an odd collection of music? LOL..OH and to really top off my nerdiness I ADORE broadway show tunes.

[nursie]

I'll show my age too...I like a variety..
Doors
Fleetwood Mac
Heart
Blue Oyster Cult
Eric Clapton
Meat Loaf
Pink Floyd
REO Speedwagon
Rolling Stones
U2
Sting
Billy Joel
Eagles
Doobie Brothers
BTO
Gordon Lightfoot
Harry Chapin

dude i love Opeth im actualy listening to it right now -lol- my favorite song by them is the Grand Conjuation

[Emg]

Well...lol....I don't know what my favorite music is !!

I do like Phil Collins quite a bit.......I prefer the late 60's into 70's style rock better than what's out there today....I'm partial to the folk tunes of the 60's and 70's as well, though NOT thier politics...lol...(commies!!)

Michael Murphy (if anyone knows who he is!)...James Taylor, John Denver, America, Crosby Stills Nash and Young, Eagles, etc..etc...

I'll also listen to some country tunes...but mostly because I LOVE the fiddle and that's about the only style music that has a decent amount of fiddling/violin in it...that I can find on the radio anyway. Classical is good too....for the same reason...lol ! (Gotta LOVE that instrument !!) http://bestsmileys.com/music2/11.gif

I guess I can safely say that I perfer the mellower music with beautiful melodies and instrumentals...not so much the loud obnoxious ear splitting noise that my son prefers to listen to... :rolleyes: Lol...Bless his heart..

i think your son and I would get along pretty good -lol- does he ever reply "IT'S NOT SCREAMING MOM!!" after you say "Do they have to scream and yell all the time?".....story of my life -lol-

[Warmaster259]

My fav. types of music are rock(classic, hard, progressive) and metal(pretty much the whole spectrum. I will listen to anything thats not country or ghetto rap. :)

[Debra Mark]

I like classic rock as well....

Eric Clapton
Guess Who
Led Zeppelin
Beatles
Van Morrison
Eagles
Jethro Tull (this one's for you, Sub!)


For newer stuff, I really like James Blunt, Lifehouse, Los Lonely Boys, and a band Dougall introduced me to yesterday...Badly Drawn Boy

[Dangerdoll]

Okay...I'm going to prove my age and complete "un-coolness". My all time favorite is James Taylor!! LOL

I would have to disagree with you here, mkml! James Taylor is awesome. It's amazing how his clean years are almost as good as his "not-so-clean-years". My listening taste is classic rock, late 60's, 70's and I like the harder stuff of today. I guess my listening is as diverse as you can get with everything enjoyed, but I mostly favor the alternative stuff.

[MoparORnoCAR]

Oh man, where to begin?!? I like anything that is UNDERGROUND! Lots of hardcore, punk, indie rock, and even a little bit of underground hip hop.
my favorite bands at the moment are:
circa survive
hatebreed
terror
carry on
sage francis
atmosphere

all time favorites include:
descendents
dead kennedys
elvis costello
refused
heiruspecs

if you like metal/hardrock you can check out my current band at--- www.myspace.com/hermurderouswork

[UncaBret]

Dave Edmunds has been my fave since '77, he is an incredible guitarist.
Brian Setzer/Stray Cats/BSO
Badfinger
early Beatles
Toby Keith/Trace Adkins/Brad Paisley type country
I used to hate disco, now I just dislike it strongly.
'Rap music' is a contradiction in terms.
I also can't stand the bands that replace talent with power chords.

Well it's nice to know I'm not completely uncool! LOL..of course my kids would disagree.

Hubby and I have seen James Taylor in concert 6 times now. I just love his music. Mellow Fellow and yep, his not so clean years are fun to listen to too! "Fire and Rain" and "Country Roads" are a few of my favorites.

[Xielos]

Well, just because I like the song, dosen't mean I like the band. I love the song Nymphetamine, but every other song by Cradle of Filth I think is crap :huh:

Well, some bands I DO like are: System of a Down, Avenged Sevenfold, Sevendust, Disturbed, and The Gorillaz. I don't like the overly hard stuff.

And I HATE Coldplay with the unholy passion of a thousnad burning suns :mad2:

[tomdkat]

I like many different kinds of music including Rock, Jazz, Classical, R&B, rap, trance, swing/big band, etc.

Most recently, I took my mom to see a rehearsal of "Carmina Burana (http://www.sfsymphony.org/templates/event_info.asp?nodeid=250&callid=93&eventid=927)" by the San Francisco Symphony accompanied by the San Francisco Chorus (http://www.sfsymphony.org/templates/chorus.asp?nodeid=79&callid=250&eventid=927), the Pacific Boychoir, and the San Francisco Girls chorus. Talk about intense! Just image 300 singing voices filling the symphony hall along with the powerful symphony working their magic.

I'm an avid Rush and Primus fan and I love the Brian Setzer Orchestra, Big Bad VooDoo Daddy, and the Royal Crown Revue. :)

"Modern day warrior,
Mean, mean stride,
Today's Tom Sawyer,
Mean, mean pride...."

:D

Peace...

[Ems]

I love everything except techno.
Blue Rodeo, Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Counting Crows, Matt Mays and El Torpedo, Jack Johnson, Pink Floyd, Dallas Green, Todd Rundgren, Tom Petty, Dave Matthews Band, Live, U2, Mariah Carey, Metallica, Aaliyah, Moist, Nirvana, REM, The Tragically Hip, Rolling Stones, Beatles, Smashing Pumpkins, Sheryl Crow, Third Eye Blind, Supertramp, Xzibit, Ludacris, 50 cent, Boston, Queen, Alexz Johnson.........

and so many more but I bet everyone stopped reading by now anyway lol

My playlists have so much variety that I think I can please everyone!

[Cheech]

Classic punk and you didn't mention the ramones????


You made me think of another 3 of that style music...

Ramomes,
The Clash,

And newest on the list, The Yeah yeah Yeahs!! They really really rock!! Awesome guitar!!! Drummer's awesome, and that little drum machine they use (for rythm on some tracks) adds some really cool sounds to their style of music!

[Roan Art]

Celtic music, especially Gaelic language music: Capercaille, Runrig, Mariè Sinè Lamond, Wolfstone, Dagda.

Other than that, I'm a big Bare Naked Ladies fan and all the stuff I grew up with, of course. Bowie, Zeppelin, etc.,.

Roan

I've hated U2 longer than you've been alive. But Homicide being preferable to suicide perhaps you should choke Bono.

[you made me ink]

i wouldnt mind that but i just can't get to the remote fast enough to change the channle when they come on ... it's not my fault im only 16!! -lol-

[Emg]

i think your son and I would get along pretty good -lol- does he ever reply "IT'S NOT SCREAMING MOM!!" after you say "Do they have to scream and yell all the time?".....story of my life -lol-


Lol Ink...I generally don't get after him about it too much. All I say is that I don't want to have to listen to it....it better not have obscene lyrics (he has a little brother who will sometimes listen to that ugly stuff) and NO degrading the LORD or sexual inuendos ! Of course, I can't understand any of it anyway...so I'm basically trusting him to adhere to that...I hope my trust is well founded !

You two probably would get along...lol...he's 16 too, though not into the fish like I am. He's got an itch to learn the electric guitar...he already plays piano and clarinet...music comes easy to him...like falling off a log !

Sub you're just not grasping the heaviness of the flute.

Well at least the boys in Metallica learned their lesson if you get your arse kicked by a band that's some have called a folk rock band dust off an old folk song, stand and deliver, and reclaim best heavy metal performance.

No doubt the Grammy people screwed up - Ian Anderson wondered if they had even heard a Jethro Tull song since Aqualung.

"I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier
I said stand and deliver or the devil he may take ya"

"If you don't ride with me while the devil's free
I'll ride with somebody else. "

[UncaBret]

Who cares about the Grammy's anyway? People like Britney Spears are hailed as 'great artists' while those like Dave Edmunds are ignored.

To me, a great show is someone playing and singing well. It's not fireworks and dancers and lightshows,etc....

[you made me ink]

Sub you're just not grasping the heaviness of the flute.
"

You have got to give credit to a guy who picks up a flute and turns it into a rock music instrument...anyone can light a match, and there are a lot of guitar players out there.

Brittany Spears isn't even in the same league. I don't consider her a musician. Music video actress maybe. Ho bag definitely....

Cheech, I'm with you..I like U2's earlier stuff.

[you made me ink]

oOo and Nursie yea brittany spears definatly a hoe bag -lol-

[jestarr]

I'm 31 and never have and never will like U2. As for the 60's and 70's I can't stand the stuff either. I was forced for too long to listem to it. I hae 4 older siblings. Country music for the most part my ex-wife made me sick of it. I listen to alt, hip hop, some 80's hair bands(MOtley Crue, Posion,ETC) chior, musicals, and Irish Rock. Current groups: Disturbed, Crossfade, Seether, Weezer, and Homeland. Homeland is a local Irish rock band. If you local electric fidal I would tell you to check them out, on there website. You can download some of there MP3. Just for the record I didn't think I'd like this music after listening to the other groups. But give them a listen. For people that like new rock, listen to the song Descent from the We Never Got This Far Alone. Their website is homelandmusic.com

[PumaWard]

I like alternative rock... I really don't have a favorite song/band but my fav. songs on the radio, right now, are Perfect Situation (Wheezer) and Soul Meets Body (Deathcab for Cutie). I like Feel Good Inc (Gorillaz) too.

[Owens187]

Can't leave out the Melvins and Primus either (even though they aren't grunge..but close enough :D

Yes I use to have some Green River, but no longer have a Record player or Records :) Alice in Chains I listen to at times as welll with Screaming tree's.. not much of Mudhoney though.. just never bought any of the albums .. and get zero Radio reception so near airport so nothing of radio play at all of anything.

Lately been listening to alot of Otis Redding and Doobie Brothers.. so my taste vary greatly.. this is just what i've been in the mood for.

[cyberbeer65]

Anything but rap!...I don't even consider rap an artform.

But mostly,The Who,The Rolling Stones,Led Zeppelin,Cream,Deep Purple,Iron,Butterfly,Sabbath (With Ozzy),James Brown,Bowie,Butthole surfers,Frank Zappa,Queens Of The Stoneage,Hendrix,Steppinwolf,The Pixies,Janes Addiction,Porno For Pyros,BTO,The Chambers Brothers,Van Halen (With David Lee roth),The Animals,King Crimson,Bob Marley,Bad Company,Lords Of Acid,Robin Trower,Judas Priest,Pink Floyd,P,Bauhaus,Iggy pop,Pantera,Iron Maiden,The Motor City Burgers,Alice Cooper,Sex Pistols,Helios Creed,Ten Years After,Rare Earth,....Just to name a few,but you get the jist of it.

[gourami]

personaly i like a little bit of everything, rock being the best though. Greenday are by far the best group i've ever heard and i can't belive nobody else has mentioned them!

[mindtonic]

My tastes run the entire spectrum but are heavily weighted with jam-improvisation and experimental oriented music.

Discs you would most likely find in my CD player at any given time are by bands like Pink Floyd, The Grateful Dead, The Beatles, Phish, Medeski Martin and Wood, and Frank Zappa.

I'm also starting to appreciate some classical music and I've been getting into a lot of jazz.

Anything too "poppy" or simplistic tends to bore me. It seems that most of what we hear on the radio today is just mass produced crap designed to sound exactly like the song before it. I tend to appreciate musicians who don't fit neatly into any one genre of music. I'll give anything a fair listen if it's done with integrity and if the artists try to stretch the boundaries of music.

[Galaxie]

Lets see.... currently in my CD changer:
-Queensryche: Operation Mindcrime
-Creed: My Own Prison
-Supertramp Retrospectable (2 CDs)
-Rush: Chronicle
-Scorpions: In Trance
-Jude: No One is Really Beautiful
...and Linkin Park: Meteora is on standby

Otherwise: Skindred, Papa Roach, Trust Company, Disturbed, Pink Floyd, Steely Dan, NWA, Easy E, and Elvis Christmas

Hey, Another Medeski Martin n Woode fan!! Cool . .. Saw them live three times. Second time I saw them, we ended up right in the front. Leaning on the stage. I went with a few guys.... We smoked some of the happy stuff, but halfway through the show, I couldn't handle it. The way those guys play is so freaky!! their timing, their style, is so intelligent, that in the frame of mind I was in, it just made me want to figure out the "formula" too much, to the point that I started badtripping. I ended up leaving the front, going outside, and sat down on a bench for the rest of the concert. It was too much for me!!!


But they're freaken great!!!


As for greenday, yeah, they rock.. Saw them live twice, they really know how to get the crowd going!!!

[mindtonic]

I know what you mean Cheech.............sometimes when I'm at a show and the improv gets very heavy............very out there...........I'm left feeling like somebody wrung out my brain like a twisted dish rag. There are times when it's too much but then there are times when it's like an epiphany.

............Green Day............ummmmmm...........I saw them at a small club in PA just after they started getting air play. I was in the front row and they raged..........but the show was ruined for me once Billy Bob or Billy Jo or whatever his name is pulled his noodle out of his pants and "waved" at the crowd. I've had a hard time listening to them ever since.............

Hammerfall, Therion, Static-X, Manowar....good stuff there, Ras. :cool:

[FreddytheFish]

Rock.

Linkin Park, Metallica, Led Zeppelin, Disturbed, Pink Floyd, etc.

I absolutley hate rap.

[Xielos]

I just picked up Avenged Sevenfolds new City of Evil album, pretty good. If you've never heard them, think something like hardcore punk, and their songs are REEEEEALLY long (one track is 8 min 45 secs)

[Skillet_007]

I like oldies. But the best music on EARTH, hands down, is bluegrass. Im not joking either. Fav. band is The Special Consensus and song? Tough, I like them all.

Skillet_007 :cool:

[Aqualung]

My taste in music is broad, but rock/metal is my favorite. A few of my favorites are:

Metallica (before they sold out and cut their hair)
G&R
Alice in Chains
Ozzy
Pink Floyd
Sepultura/Soulfly/Nailbomb
Drown
Fear Factory
Ministry
Cathedral
Coal Chamber
Pantera
Godhead
Testament (Alex Skolnick is a guitar god, but they have a new lead player now)
Sevendust (liked their first album anyway)
Machinehead

I'll stop there I guess. I also like the classic stuff like Zeppelin, The Stones, etc. and some country like Johnny Cash and Hank jr.

[themadblimper]

I don't feel like editing out the html, but I will add - on the names of the albums.-

[dougall]

my computer used to look like that untill i FINALLY got a CD burner (YES!!!) -lol-

you'll move on to DVDs soon enough..


and personally I prefer to keep everything on a file server.. it's easier than searching through numerous CDs or DVDs, not to mention everythging is accessible via a local network or the internet...

[endlessdream]

Exactly. I have a DvD burner, but I don't see any point in burning all of it.

[you made me ink]

Dude ... I have NO clue what the HELL you just said (no offense by the way) -lol- im very computer illiterate -lol- i just know how to download and burn it ... my cd's are very organized though so i dont really have too much trouble keepin up with it tho and if my computer does get too over crowded i just make an MP3 cd -lol- and delete the music -lol- my computer it basic too i only use it for school work and litsining to music -lol- and also the obvious (the forum LOVE this place)

[dougall]

heh.. you'll have to try harder than that to offend me ;)

OK.. to explain a little more.. a Blank DVD will hold around 6 times as much data as a blank CD (give or take) so in the same physical space you can have 6 times the music.

And for me, personally, I do have every MP3 I have stored on a DVD somewhere, but I prefer them to be more accessible, a 200Gb hard drive in my PC will hold the same amount of music as around 250 MP3 CDs. and having them in a compyter means that I do not need physical access to them, I could listen to the music on any computer (or whatever, an xbox works well) in my house or at my place of work.


Maybe I should point out that I'm pretty disorganized too.. ;) and you don't want to know how many CDs and DVDs are around here.

[you made me ink]

hehehe ok i think i understand a little more idk i guess mp3's are just a little easier but i have a question...can you burn mp3's on a blank DVD and if so do you have to have a cd burner or can you use a regular burner??? thanks for puttin up with my minimal knowledge of computers -lol-

:thud:

[endlessdream]

can you burn mp3's on a blank DVD and if so do you have to have a cd burner or can you use a regular burner??? thanks for puttin up with my minimal knowledge of computers -lol-

:thud:
Yes, you can burn mp3's on dvd, but you need a dvd burner.

[you made me ink]

darn it -lol- thanks neways i guess when i find time to add stuff to the computer that'll be it -lol-

[wesleydnunder]

Anything from the 60s and 70s. Also liked a lot of the 90s bands. Pink Floyd is my all-time favorite. No-one puts more feeling into a note than Gilmore.

Mark

[Snow Dog]

Rush

[Harlock]

I cannot pick a favorite genre. Just too hard as I really do listen to everything. Well, current rap leaves something to be desired in my opinion, ubt I really dig the old school stuff I grew up on like Doug E. Fresh, Run DMC, etc.

Country? Yeah, I can dig it. I really like the old old country like Hank Williams (yeah, Sr.), Marty Robbins but do listen to some contemperary stuff (grew up with the Womack brothers who formed Sons of the Desert).

Opera? Sure, lots on my computer. Classical? Yeah. Rock? Yeah. Punk? Oh yeah, was in a pop-punk power trio who got signed...

As for what I am listening to right now: Weezer; Blue Album Deluxe 10th Anniversary Edition 2 cd set. Had a lot of B-sides and live stuff I lost on a hard drive blow out a few years ago, so I picked it up today at Best Buy with a credit on a Christmas gift I returned.

Ain't that the truth. . . did I mention I'm getting to see him live on April 8th??? OK, I'll stop now... ;)

[wesleydnunder]

That's the only band I'd still go see live. I've played guitar for twenty years and mostly play Floyd. I've seen them 3 times over the years, always in outdoor venues. In the '90s the show was rained out by the third song. You just had to mention the fact that you get to see Gilmore.
I hate you.

Mark

[Cheech]

Hey, don't worry about it/.// I'm the totally jelous one right now. I wish I had the oppurtunity to see Floyd live!! Never got to though...

Only chance I had was in 94, and at that, tickets were sold out! 3 shows at 65000 people a show... And all sold out!!!

But yeah, i am very excited to see gilmour play though...

[wesleydnunder]

I have the Pulse video from that tour. We saw them in Rice Stadium. It started raining halfway thru Shine On You Crazy Diamond and one by one the equipment started to fail and they didn't get to finish High Hopes. Needless to say I was bummed out. They had three sold-out shows then also. BTW, there's an old Pink Floyd album that was only released in Canada, I've read, called " A Nice Pair ". Ever run across it? It's the only one I don't have.

Mark

[Cheech]

I'm missing a couple to finish off the set. Then I gotta start getting all of their live EP's... I found the "a nice pair" on Ebay. Check it out.
So what kind of Floyd collection do you have? Out of curiosity?

[wesleydnunder]

Standard stuff, I guess. I've got Relics, Saucer Full of Secrets, Piper At The gates of Dawn, Dark Side of the Moon and Obscured By Clouds on vinyl LP.
From Atom Heart Mother to The Final Cut on cassette and the rest on CD. My albums don't get played anymore. They're stored in plastic. The background on my angel breeder tank is the poster that came with Umma Gumma. Thanks for the tip about A Nice Pair. Haven't looked on ebay lately.

Mark

[UncaBret]

but the show was ruined for me once Billy Bob or Billy Jo or whatever his name is pulled his noodle out of his pants and "waved" at the crowd.
Gee, wow. It certainly must take a lot of talent to do that!

[Aqualung]

Gee, wow. It certainly must take a lot of talent to do that!

Green Day has no talent to speak of. Their music is MTV trash as far as I'm concerned.

Sounds like he was trying to emulate Jim Morrison in an attempt to elevate his status. He can't compare to a rock legend no matter how hard he tries!

i feel your pain greenday is WAAAAY overrated

[kill_a_watt]

i cannot live another day with james brown music!!! GO the godfather of soul music

my favourite is "Get Up Offa That Thing" woot i feel excited just thinking about it :bday: :joke:

I won't defend green day since they sold out big time, but their first albums 38 smooth and kerplunk is good music. I used to like them till every album after dookie was worse than the last. after that, it all went downhill and I lost a lot of respect for them.

[UncaBret]

Most of whats on MTV nowadays is trash.

[pbrack]

Too bad grunge is dead....and got commercial...and they all died or almost died or overdoses....yeah.... :(

[you made me ink]

you ever wonder what great music there would be if Nirvana was still around?? :sad:

[sublime1184]

Never cared for them, but they did bring grunge mainstream.


I think that about Sublime...RIP Brad. http://www.piranha-fury.com/pfury/style_emoticons/default/rip.gif

[you made me ink]

While I will admit they arn't my favorite and some of the music was a little depressing I really liked most of it.

[UncaBret]

some of the music was a little depressing
Sounds like 3 Doors Down. I have their first two cds and never listen to either.

[jruth27]

Ozzy is at the top...Always have been a hardcore Ozzy fan since the age of 13.
I like almost all styles of music...
System of a Down, Green Day, Alan Jackson, Black Sabbbath, Patsy Cline (because I can sing like her), Led Zeppelin,
a liitle bit of rap, dance music, 80's music, pop, rock
It depends what mood I'm in.

[Cheech]

I kinda like Greenday.... I kinda see them as an "entertaining" type band,,,, something to just have fun listening to, but not to talk about how great musicians they are. Nothing wrong with that. They're great stage performers...

Anytime a band makes it big, they're seen as sellouts. It's the way it works. Either you stay underground, and small, play the music you love, or you become a little more mainstream, comprimise your music (a little bit) get a certain "look", and make tons more cash (if you get the oppurtunity to do so)... I guess it's normal. I wouldn't trash a band for that. If I don't like it, I just won't listen to it. Like Simple Plan.. Oh man, those guys get me sick!!!!

[Cheech]

Nirvana rocks!! (imo)... They had such an influence in that grunge sound... Bringing back those old amp sounds, overdrive, good tuby distortion sounds... Awesome!!

[you made me ink]

i could really care less if a band "sells out" if i like them im goin to listen to them if i dont i wont

[Aqualung]

I liked Nirvana before they were popular and I still like their music. It's too bad Kurt isn't around any more, I bet he would still be writing great songs.

I can't say I hate bands for selling out, but I certainly hate the fact that they do sell out. Metallica used to be my favorite band and I will always love their old stuff, but since they became mainstream their music keeps getting worse. I won't listen to anything newer than the black album.

[you made me ink]

definatly i love the older Metallica i hate to say it but somtimes i wish Hetfield (not sure on the spelling) woud start drinking again -lol-

[UncaBret]

i feel your pain greenday is WAAAAY overrated
Another group that baffles me is REM.

Verse
Chorus
Repeat verse
Repeat chorus
Repeat verse again
Repeat chorus again

Now that's great song writing.

[Aqualung]

Haha :clap: I have to admit though, I like the song "Drive" for some unknown reason.

ink - I wish he'd start drinking again too!

[msouth468]

I don't care for genres of music. If it sounds good I will listen to it.

[Ems]

I thought this was about everyone's favorite music.... not music everyone doesn't like ;)

[Cheech]

I don't care for genres of music. If it sounds good I will listen to it.

Well then , what sounds good to you?? ;)

[msouth468]

Anything and everything.

Anything from Britney Spears to Six Feet under to Rob Zombie To Jewl to Shania Twain.

Like I said, if it sounds good I will listen to it.

[pophead]

I happen to like... Switchfoot, POD, Casting Crowns. I'm pretty flexible with my tastes. I'll go over to my friends house and he'll have some rock goin' and I'll listen to that... my sis listens to country.... I try to avoid it.

[you made me ink]

I thought this was about everyone's favorite music.... not music everyone doesn't like ;)
lol i guess its music opinion and theory in other words everyones "theory" **cough opinion cough** -lol-

[Aqualung]

Anything and everything.

Like I said, if it sounds good I will listen to it.

I agree with you, except for the Britney Spears part. I don't think she became a star because of her vocal or musical abilities, or songwriting talent. It takes either talent or looks, and I don't think her talent is what made her famous.

[Aqualung]

I thought this was about everyone's favorite music.... not music everyone doesn't like ;)

I don't think anybody has mentioned the New Kids On The Block........did I miss that post? ;)

[msouth468]

Meh...you are probably right. A few songs you can dance to well enough. And when I was in College if you produced songs that people could dance to. The women would. :D

[you made me ink]

haha yea thats true -lol- im in high school and you wouldnt believe how many girls STILL listen to britany spears i still dont like her .... music but her assests arnt exactly anything to hate -lol- it sucks and a little shallow but dont act like you dont like it -lol- and no im not about looks but they dont hurt my girlfriend isnt the hottest girl but shes the prettiest on the planet through my eyes (just wanted to clarify that)

[msouth468]

That was a little...corny

[you made me ink]

That was a little...corny
its kool i dont care call it corny i know it is but its all true i dont mind sayin it

[you made me ink]

...but neways to get back on topic .... im not sure if any body mentioned them but the Deftones are great alot of people tell me i drum like the guy from the Deftones as far as my style goes

[Aqualung]

Deftones are good. I really like the songs they do with Tool - it would be cool if they'd collaborate on an entire album!

[you made me ink]

yea that would be really kool tool is also a great band them and Red Hot Chili Peppers are very good musicaly because they can all play so well with their bandmates

[Slappy*McFish]

I love the Deftones. I was just listening to the 'White Pony' album the other day.

[Aqualung]

I love the Deftones. I was just listening to the 'White Pony' album the other day.

I wish I had that album right now, it's been a long time since I heard "Passenger". One that's on my huge list of favorite songs!

[Slappy*McFish]

Yeah, that's a good one...my favorite song on the album, too. I love the bass line and of course the vocals. 'Change' is another kickass song on that album. The whole album rocks for that matter.
Another favorite band of mine when I feel like kickin' back and chillin' is 'Sigur Ros'...you know, like when you are in that 'state of mind.' ;)

[MajorGFX]

Muse.
Disturbed.

Jus my latest download's, i mean buy's.

[you made me ink]

i got the new Disturbed cd for christmas it really good -lol- and i also got a Trans-siberian Orchestra cd too i really love them you get the best of two worlds and its just fun to listen to

[sublime1184]

i got the new Disturbed cd for christmas it really good


:bow: I saw them three times this year in chicago and milwaukee...great live shows and 10,000 fists is an awesome album.

[Cheech]

Muse is OK, but they get to me. . . His voice can get really annoying. The way he inhales....



Radiohead is an awesome band. can't believe I forgot to mention them . ..
