i thought you listened to michael jackson ling?

[Linguica]

I have Michael Jackson MP3s, yes. I also have rock, classical, movie scores, pop, techno, dance, etc. It's possible to listen to various types of music you know.

[RTC_Marine]

Don't worry, your not the only one, I listen too all types aswell. If I get sick of listening to metal, i go to something nice and relaxing, like some classical heh.

[læmænt]

You don't understand shit if you consider classical music to be nice and relaxing.

[RTC_Marine]

heres what i listen too:
classical
pop
rock
punk rock
metal
thrash metal
death metal
and some other types aswell... Blah, can't be bothered explaining all... Too tired. Need coffee.

[fodders]

When you all get older, you will realise it's not the music, it's what is happening in your life at that moment that creats a link to "wow this is good" in your brain. As you listen to what you consider is "great" you will realise you stopped listening, and started thinking about something in your life at that moment, forming a link that even 20 years later, upon hearing it, will bring back those memories, so creating a "classic"

If you still feel the same at 50 that you did at 20, you have wasted 30 years of your life

I listen to...

Alternative

My personal fave. Note I don't mean MTV alternative like Sugar Ray or whatever the hell they're called, I mean like Cake, Beck, Blur, Weezer, so forth.

Older punk

When I say older, I mean like Nirvana and vintage Green Day. Back when punk was punk and not this pussyfoot rock like "Blink 182". There are a few good modern punk bands... the Offspring and such.

Harder Rock/Metal

Need I say more? Alice in Chains, ACDC, Cradle of Filth, Deftones, blah blah blah etc. etc.

That's not it, but that's the majority of what I listen to.

Re: Michael Jackson, there is no denying his talent as a songwriter. I have been enjoying Alien Ant Farm's cover of Smooth Criminal lately. When I first heard it, I had no idea it was a MJ cover, & I was struck by the MJ-ish yelps, finding them very amusing. I was actually disappointed when I discovered it was a cover tune. It's a sad thing for a band when its main claim to fame is a cover.

Yeh, put me in a room and force me to listen to one pop singer, and I'll choose him. But the AAF cover is pure shit.

[Linguica]

How did you not know it was a cover? Did you never hear the original somehow?

Older punk

(Sigh) That really makes me feel old to hear you call Nirvana & Green Day old punk. I thought you were going to mention the likes of Black Flag, Plasmatics, Clash, Ramones.

It's funny, because I tend to lump Offspring/Blink 182/Sum 41 together into the same basic youthful, happy-sounding punk.
I love Deftones. They've got such a unique sound, & I have begun to hear vocalists emulate Chino's style.

[captmellow]

Correct. Is it a recent song?

[Linguica]

Correct. Is it a recent song?

It was released in 1987.

Back then I couldn't be drawn away from my black metal. I had no idea what was popular on the radio.

[captmellow]

Okay, this Q goes out to those who say that Mudvayne/Slipknot is unoriginal (if you're still reading this thread:

Who has done that sound before? Besides Korn? I honestly don't know.

Heh. For a second there I thought he was going to mention stuff like the Dolls, Iggy or MC5 or something :P Now *that* is old punk :)

[fodders]

Zed Lepp, Jethro Tull, metallica, Family, Uriah heep, Dave Bowie, Deep Purple, Sabbath, Edgar Braughton, Lou Reed, Bob Dylan, Hendrix, Donovan, Slade, 1910 Fruitgum company, all still in my music collection :)

Hmm.. piles more.. but that's all I can think of right now.

[Lüt]

'Specially Slade, Lou Reed and Bowie.

I gotta get some Lou Reed. I have the Rollins live album where they play Move Right In - I was hooked on that song for like 3 months before I could listen to other Rollins stuff again :) Unfortunately I could never find the album it was on :|

[stphrz]

That song was off Velvet Underground's Another View. You might also find it on one of Lou Reed's live albums, bootlegs or compilations. There's been so many I can't be sure.

[captmellow]

or that they supposeddly didn't work hard for their success

If they had to work hard to turn out that crap, then I gotta agree, they're idiots and at least somewhat musically incapacitated. I can't imagine anybody working hard on turning that kinda music out unless they have no idea what they're doing in the studio or no previous musical/songwriting experience. "Work hard" is totally relative to the people using that phrase.

Lüt, have you formed this opinion based on hearing their entire album, or just on "Dig"? This question could apply to Liam on saying the singer's voice only sounds like gravel. I ask this because if you have carefully listened to their entire range of songs, you would find a quite diverse selection of sounds. IMO, I can pick out some rather jazz/fusion influence in some songs (Everything is Nothing), some very funky flanger sounding guitar (Nothing to Gein), & some amazing vocal harmonies (et. al.). Perhaps you should qualify your statements, rather than dismiss them so readily based on one song.

'Scuse me? I had the LD50 album for a while 'fore it got so dull and horrid to me. Nothing to Gein was the only real tolerable song on that album. Songs like Dig and Under my skin are horrible no matter what, and Death Blooms was ruined by the vox and guitar. The rest of the album was just the same old screaming at the mic to horrible, sometimes unoriginal riffs and basslines (internal primates, cradle,)

[captmellow]

Liam, having heard the entire album, surely you would agree that the singer at times did alternate between screaming & a rather smooth voice.

BTW have you heard anything by older (Drugstore) Cake i.e. "Rock & Roll Lifestyle"?

[Disorder]

I like Britney Spears.

Dumb shit

Hmmm....

[Disorder]

Well Lament. At least I'm not a hippie!! Mwuahahahaha

[læmænt]

Ok, fair enough :)
