Tommy is right, there is nothing sadder then Metallica in 97.
--- Quote from: KharBevNor on 03 Oct 2006, 20:43 ---Anathema were one of the pioneers of doom-death. But, like Paradise Lost, and countless other decent gothic metal bands, they succumbed to the 'mid-nineties disease' and turned into a mopey alt-rock act..

Have you heard Paradise Lost's new album? It's pretty good, they really took a few steps back into their Icon era. Anyway, I'm a big fan on Antehma's and PL's entire discography (except PL's Host. There is no such album. They never realesed it. IT DOES NOT EXIST). I actually really like the direcion Anathem took latley. Their last album, A Natural Disaster, is really amazing.

Mostly, (And I realize this, but don't work too hard on changing it) I just don't like music other people listen to (or anything other people do for that matter). I havn't purposefully listened to the radio (aside from the occasional talk show) in about 4 years. I think one of the saddest moments I ever had was when I saw Modest Mouse on The OC.

Why were you watching The OC?
screwjack:
I was watching the OC because I had to see for myself what the commercial said. I should have just saved myself the pain.

And yesssss, Harder They Come soundtrack. Also there's Max Romeo's excellent "War Ina Babylon," Horace Andy's "Skylarking," The Upsetters' "Revolution Dub," the Trojan Records Dub collections... the list goes on. I could be here all night.
The reason why I'm kinda angry though is that I feel that the people here saying that they don't like reggae just simply don't understand what's going on there. I can kinda understand though, if they don't like the "slow" sound of it. Slow music isn't for everyone.

Oh no, I get it. It just bores me to tears and makes me think of hippies sitting around after free parties talking about chilling out and talking endlessly about that time they did mushrooms in Guatemala on their gap year. And since you mention it I have no problem with slow music. Doom, sludge, noise, slow blues and indie, all good. But not reggae. Never reggae.
Having said that, I really like The Harder They Come and the soundtrack doesn't bother me at all since it's so integral to a good film. I'd never want to hear it out of that context though.

Now that's just sad, that you let [presumably college student-aged] hippies who go on "trips" [and probably go see shitty jam bands too] ruin a whole genre of music for you. That'd be like if I rejected liking the Books because they had an all-ages show here in Cleveland and so I had to deal with kids who were only ten when the Books started making music. In other words, laaaaaaaame.
