This thread really needs to be stopped before it kills again.

MlKE · « **Reply #53 on:** 01 Aug 2007, 14:00 »

oh, my bad. obviously i don't have a grasp on the locations of all the users, yet.

but either way, i thought both New Found Glory and Avril Lavigne were universally popular.

He's implemented a "Be a dick" policy. That means you shouldn't take anything he takes seriously, ever.

Anyway, what is the point of any discussion on the internet? or anywhere? There really isn't much point in anything. Might as well talk about something entertaining, right? Maybe you'll find other people with similar musical tastes and make a connection that way.

Anyway, rather than make a new thread, I thought I might as well put this thought I've had in here because it sort of goes along with it.

I think I like the familiar. I also think there's nothing wrong with that, as long as someone doesn't get so caught up in a shell that they don't allow themselves room to expand. I had a pretty crappy day today (had to train a new girl at work, which wasn't so bad because she's very cute and we got along, but she's got a boyfriend so I'm stopped dead cold already, and Best Buy turned me down for a job I would be totally perfect at). I got home and turned on some Led Zeppelin and I just felt better. I wasn't quite so angry anymore, because it was just something familiar. It wasn't lyrics speaking to my soul. It wasn't messages of peace. It was just something easy to relax to.

...really?

Ok ok... so TYING the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Pink Floyd was a bold statement. I don't mean to tie them in terms of talent, because Pink Floyd obviously are legendary. Just in terms of enjoyment. I enjoy and appreciate them equally in different ways.

.... right.

so today on the radio, I heard the Foo Fighter's new song a ton of times (they played it every hour at the top of the hour). And the first time I heard it, I wasn't too keen on it. But by the third time, I enjoyed it a bunch. So you can throw them into my short list, at least temporarily.

Uhm... The Offspring?

Agree. Also, Bill Talent, Sum 41 (Mostly for Canucks on those two), Queen, Gorillaz... They're what bring up my "mainstream percentage" on last.fm

But you want to be, just admit you listen to it. I can help you man, I can guide you through the terrible music.

Man, I don't even listen to the radio anymore... burnt cds FTW!!!!

So yeah, I like a lot of mainstream bands and techno/dance/electronica songs... so as far as 'indie cred' goes I don't have much, so my list would be long if I wanted to put all the bands I like, I'll just put a few.

Mindless Self Indulgence, A Perfect Circle, David Bowie, Stone Temple Pilots, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nine Inch Nails, Tool, Korn, and basically every classic rock band of the 70s and 80s (NOT including hair/glam bands)

So I goes to the 'noone has heard of' thread and said porcupine tree
only to hear that many forum goers know them
so i'm going to say porcupine tree
also because i've forced everyone i know to know them

The extra letter · « **Reply #64 on:** 12 Aug 2007, 17:48 »

Bauhaus, Sisters of Mercy, Fields of the Nephilim, KMFDM, Manic Street Preachers, The Magnetic Fields

My taste in music is pretty mainstream, so I could probably just say "all of them".

cTony · « **Reply #65 on:** 12 Aug 2007, 19:22 »

Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Pantera, David Bowie, Deep Purple, Muse.

Quote from: Hat on 01 Aug 2007, 06:13

I have only heard of one of those bands, and so therefore, you are disqualified. (I am sorry I am being a dick to you new guy, its just you were the first person to post after I decided to implement my new 'be a dick' policy)

Ive only heard of one of those bands too, and also how to disagree with warf.. nah, aint gonna happen

Caspian · « **Reply #66 on:** 12 Aug 2007, 20:35 »

I guess MBV are pretty well known? I like MBV.

I'm a huge Metallica fanboy. I love Load and Reload heaps, though St.Anger was a bit disappointing (I still like it, though.)

Other stuff that I enjoy is Creedence Clearwater Revival, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Hendrix, most of the classic rock stuff (except Led Zep, I just can't seem to enjoy them, except for Immigrant Song and Black Dog).

Now for guilty pop pleasures:

All of Offspring Americana and before is stuff I enjoy.

Blink 182 and Korn were my favourite bands in year 8. Perhaps it's the Nostalgia element, but I still enjoy Korn's Follow the Leader, and a friend of mine plays Blink 182 and Millencolinwhenever we go to the beach for surfing. I enjoy it.

i listen to r.e.m.

and i'm not sorry about it.

Luke C · « **Reply #72 on:** 14 Aug 2007, 02:52 »

I don't think you should be sorry about liking R.E.M. Sure there stuff these days dosn't quite match Automatic for the People buut they have still made some pretty awesome music.

A lot of my favourite bands people have heard of. I'm not lame enough to stop liking them because of it.
It appears waaaaaaay to many people on this forum are.

I refuse to take that shit from somebody with Coheed and Cambria at number 10 on their most played list.

Franz Ferdinand is awesome. And also a band that has gotten me into a lot of what I love right now too.
