what do you listen to?

Currently listening to:

The Shins
Yeah Yeah Yeah's
The Mars Volta
Bright Eyes
The Good Life
Hot Hot Heat
Weezer
Blur
The Polyphonic Spree

I detest stairway to heaven, along with most of Zepplin's other 'songs'.

For those who listen to In Flames it might interest you to know the lead singer was the basist of soilwork, who are much much better in my opinion. They are a lot heavier though...

Hence why I like In Flames more. Soilwork's definitely more melodic and all, but sometimes I just need that KRUSH KRUSH KILL sound. Certainly both are better than the crap that is Arch Enemy. Death metal? Female singer? (granted, with a hellish voice) WTF!?

okay. I just accidentally clicked on my favorites bar and deleted the whole f**king post I spent 15 minutes on so I am SO f**kING PISSED



So I guess I'll just paste a couple tracklists of stuff I have made for people....

I made this mix for my friend Meadow at work. It was to kinda show her what some of the different genres they play at gothic-industrial clubs were, and what they sounded like. Thus with the short descriptions after each track, where I try to loosely classify it.

Next is a mix I made for a friend who wanted "Happy Synthpop". Synthpop is sorrt of like "industrial lite"... it's electronic club music, but it's not as hard as industrial. Not all of this is actually 'synthpop', but most of it is lighter club music anyway:

A few other groups worth taking a look at:

Filament 38 - industrial group from here in Cleveland, hopefully I'll get to see them in a week or so.

Process of Elimination - industrial ebm from Buffalo, saw them open for Assemblage 23 and they were really good. I chat with Arick sometimes on AIM, he said they'd do a track for me if I did a club map for Action UT2k4 :biggrin:

Stromkern - great group, very original ebm style, you can download their biggest hit, Night Riders, from their website for free even.

Ayria - lead singer from Epsilon Minus' first album's new band. pretty good, love her voice.

Informatik - their album, Nymphomatik, is just great fun (it's all about sex)

Okay, I'm going to post this before I accidentally delete it again. :razz:

Die Form - dark ambient electronic with female vocals, really amazing.

Hocico - dark moody industrial, very good

Heres a sampling of the groups I like.

NIN, Mindless self-indulgence, red hot chilli peppers, Kool Keith, System of a down, tool, roni size, benefit, massive attack, cage, outkast, ludikris, redman and methodman (and eric sermon), john the dentist, smashing pumpkins, eyedea, dj abilities, etc.

I used to like aphex twin alot but I dunno... it's just odd.

And jinx I never noticed you were from cleveland. I'm from canton so I guess we are kinda like brothers.

how old are you JFry? you should meet me and some people out at The Chamber sometime if you are 18 or over. lots of cool music :biggrin:

I'm surprised so many people like Mindless Self Indulgence. I mean, they are enjoyable and all for what they are, but worthy enough to mention them as one of your favorite bands?

And Orph, that would make sense. The masses are stupid, especially when it comes to music. I swear if I ever hear the live version of 'Outside' by Staind I will drive to X103 and murder the DJ. Fun fact: the afternoon DJ of X103 who was the most popular radio personality in central Indiana behind Bob and Tom was accused of rape over New Years. I wonder if he ever got charged...

For me, there's no such thing as best song ever. It's just too damned hard to choose. :razz: It's really more of a "what song am I enjoying the most right now?" for me, as you're going to get sick of a song eventually.

no, thats not what i asked, i don't think zepplins song is the best either, but the polls say otherwise, what i am asking is, has anyone from outside the US ever heard this?? i wanna know if its as popular there as well.

Yes I know of it. My friend keeps learning how to play it on the guitar. I really fail to see the attraction of it, as well as most Zeppelin songs, I like them, but not THAT much. Even for classic rock.

The Broadways! If you like them, check out the Lawrence Arms. It has Brendan and Chris from The Broadways and they're one of the very few bands I consider to be good pop punk (Apathy and Exhaustion is one of the best albums ever made).

If you're into hardcore at all (I saw you had some Sick of it All), you should check out Trial By Fire, Break the Silence, and Strike Anywhere.

Errr, I'm not really into hardcore at all actually, just happened to have a few songs from compilations and things :sad: I quite like Sick if it All, but not enough to go looking for similar bands or anything. Thanks for the suggestions anyway though.

Errr no, I mean soilwork is heavier... you've obviously only heard thier pussy Figure Number Five album... Go out and buy (with great difficulty in locating) the album "The Chainheart Machine"... That'll blast you away with screaming and solos beyond comprehension!

12. Hooverphonic - Someone (<?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:time Hour="16" Minute="11">4:11</st1:time>)

Hooverphonic = belgian ! Glad to hear they're popular in the U.S.

There's a big difference between 'popular' and 'one person on an online message board knows of them.' :smile:

I'm surprised so many people like Mindless Self Indulgence. I mean, they are enjoyable and all for what they are, but worthy enough to mention them as one of your favorite bands?

Well...yeah. :razz: It's just way too easy to enjoy really.

I'm a bit of a stickler for music and own too many CDs to really pick a few favourites. Of course i'm damn near broke because of it! :rolleyes:

I'm 22 for now sounds cool I've never been to a real industrial club. Is that place in the flats? I tend to get lost everytime I go to cleveland.

I listen to the Max Payne intro over and over again until I fall asleep :kitty:

Hawkins your Megadeth and Metallica collection dissapoints me :-(

You haven't got the 2 best albums of Megadeth! (Rust in Peace and Youthanasia)

I'm mostly into punk / ska / emo / rock, with a few other likes. I can't be bothered listing loads of bands so instead, here is my entire mp3 collection in a winamp playlist...

http://www.snarkpit.com/pits/reno/misc/winampplaylist.htm

I don't know if you would be interested but there are a couple Aussie ska bands that I quite like that you probably might not of heard. They are;
Area 7
The Porkers

Hrm, lacking a bit of Coldplay here. pets his 'Blue Room EP' copy

Not heard of Area 7, but I know of the porkers - used to have a couple of songs of theirs before I lost my entire mp3 collection due to a hard drive burning out :sad: Thanks for the reminder though will certainly try and get some tunes of theirs again, and try to find some Area 7 too.

I find Coldplay a little too moany for my liking, though I know a lot of mates who really like them, and I certainly have nothing against them. I prefer similar (well, sort of similar) bands though, such as The Get Up Kids, The Anniversary, Alkaline Trio, etc...

ReNo said:

Yup...all originals - i'm trying to cut down...honest!

And, Myrk, I haven't got all the Metallica albums as I can't really afford to get 'em yet, I fill in the blanks when I can :wink: Megadeth are an acquired taste I guess, cos I find his voice a little whiny to buy any of their albums (Cryptic Writings was a gift from my parents and Risk was from my sister :wink: )
