--- Quote from: Se7en ---Its perfectly true. Music is reliatively unimportant compared with the joys of building and driving exotic cars.

Yeah but... what do you listen to when you're driving or when youre in the garage for 8 hours welding stuff??
Plus he wasnt talking about exotic cars he was talking about his SKODA. *shudders*

If you have a good car, it doesnt even have a radio. You dont want one iether, the induction, exaust, and gearbox make sweet music for you.
Dont knock skodas too much.. they make nice rally cars. Course, if his is iether standard, or a neon covered barrymobile, feel free to laugh at him.
The "one in my avatar" is a drawing of my 1959 austin mini. Its little 850cc engine just burbles and clatters away.. Course, its a mini, so the sky is the limit with performance tuning. I'm just watching a video of a friends mini on a sprint track. 190 brake horsepower in half a tonne of the best handling car ever made. The origional giant killer, and still the best :)
Really, when you own a mini it puts all the mundane things in life in perspective. Music is just a plesant diversion for wet evenings when you have a mini.

ok thanks normz and dynamitekid. i'm glad im not the only sane one. i would also like to point out that rage's lyrics don't get nearly enough credit. the choruses are appropriately simple, the rest is on point and easy to remember phrases, where every word is chosen for a purpose, so that the average RATM song can be sung by a mass of people intelligent enough to understand what is going on around them. in other words it is the "rap, whatever" version of old protest music.
and i don't know about where you live by my local rock radio station loves RATM. they've also been playing Tool for as long as Tool's been around, and played grunge and alternative before it started getting national acclaim. they also frequently play local bands, and local requests, to balance out all the mainstream they have to play to be able to keep going. i think that is why my friend was so offended by them, cuz our local station plays them frequently.
as for NIN, like many bands worth listening to, they are not contained in a single genre, but rather reznor lets himself be influenced by many sources. this can cause problems with hardline fans of a particular genre, but for those of us who appreciate artist who keep an open mind, this is a beautiful thing.
