I'd like to take the time to warn you all about tinnitus. By listenning to bad music, you're damaging your hearing. The more you listen, the more damage you do, and the better you think the bad music actually is.
Now, some people have been listenning to bad music for an EXTREME length of time.
For these people, it is too late. Their hearing is too badly damaged and they're no longer able to hear 'good' music when it is played. I believe to them, good music sounds something like white noise.

Or, at least, this is what expirience tells me.

So, I need you ALL to stop listenning to ALL music for about a week, giving your hearing enough time to recover, then you can start on something better.

I recommend the recommendation threads.

Given your (guessed) collective age, I suggest you start on something soft, such as children's tv shows theme songs.
As a general rule, if it has super heroes in it, the theme song kicks ass.

Edit: I'm done now...

Do we include Pete And Pete in that or is it far too juvenile and petty to start out on?

I'm hopelessly addicted to Simon & Garfunkel, yet not middle-aged.

I also really still enjoy Kasabian's first album even though they're supposed to be one of those flash-in-the-pan bands that stopped being cool before the record was even in stores.

And like most people of my age I got into music via nu-metal. Linkin Park's 'Hybrid Theory' and Limp Bizkit's 'Starfish' were the first two guitar albums I owned. In my defence I didn't know any better, and got over it quickly when I realised that good music existed.

Spineshank's second CD is still cool though.

This thread makes me feel so damned mainstream, it's ridiculous.

I should mention I own every Metallica album up to Garage Inc.  (as in, everthing up to it, but not that actual album).  There's still a handful of songs of theirs I leave on my master random playlist on my computer.  Listened to them heavily in high school, and pretty much haven't since outside of the occasional track or two from And Justice For All.

My brother sent me some Avenged Sevenfold album through teh intarwebs and while I don't like the band as a whole, I think they have the potential to be something I'd listen to.  Find a lead singer that doesn't sound like a woodchipper at work and most of my beefs with them would be solved.

I think Darude is pretty neat.  I'm such a whore for having Sandstorm on my playlist.

Audioslave is my favorite band and it seems no one on this entire forum except for me likes them, so I guess I'll mention that as well.  Although, I feel I have to say that their latest album caught the attention of a few of my friends who didn't like anything they'd done up to this point.  Quoting one of them, "They sound like their own band now, not simply Rage + Chris Cornell."

We're cool.
As for the mtv thing...
I was, at the time, listenning to the mix Tommy made for Tania. The television was on mute, but I was paying attention to the videos that came up because a lot of them suprised the hell out of me.
A lot of bands that are popular with this forum's indie kids were played.
There was a 20 second ad featuring an 'interview' with Lou Barlow. THAT shocked me so much I bit my tongue.
I remember Emilio freaking out and telling me to turn it off as I gave a feed to gabbly. Chill guy!


And jeeze, how long ago was that now? June? Forget about it! Nobody remembers any of those 'indie' bands that were played now anyway!

i wasn't talking quality, i was talking about influence. several bands owe slint for progressing the genre. and while they are a bit pretentious, instrumentally they certainly aren't bad. 'post rock' was born with slint's 'spiderland,' at least as an official genre. i don't think having an appreciation for that is a negative thing.

I tend not to think of the more embarrassing aspects of my musical taste as bad, just aimed at a target audience about a decade below me, but I still love...

Panic!At The Disco, Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance et al, along with the genius cheesy pop goodness of Nelly Furtado, Justin Timberlake, Jamelia, Baccarra, Tatu, Infernal...

It might have to do with the fact that I go to and play at a lot of gay nights, and the fact that cheesy pop is brilliant, but not everyone seems to agree with me, oh noes.

Something I know I'm supposed to be ashamed of but am not:  Creed.  I think I own all three albums they made, as well.  Admittedly, I didn't realize how big of a total fuckface cuntwad that Scott Stapp is else I probably would have never listened to the band at all.

Oh, I forgot, I also own My Own Prison by Creed. I've listened to their other two records, and those are complete crap, but My Own Prison has some half decent tunes. "One" actually comes close to being a good song. Too bad Stapp is on it, ruining it.

I'd like to think I've gotten beyond the point of liking music and not feeling guilty if I find out others don't like it, or even hate it...but I know that's not true.

I could name a lot of AWFUL music that I used to like, but that's not the point of this thread. So I'll just say that I like the Smashing Pumpkins and Phish, the latter of whom is my favorite band, and skeedaddle away.
