For got about Greenday

+Grandaddy

Yeah, Franz are pretty good. Looking forward to the new Embrace album actually (bit lighter than some of the stuff already mentioned...), as well as some good old Jimmy Eat World in October :smile:

Yes! It's been too long a wait for the new Jimmy Eat World album :smile:

While certainly not the type of music I normally listen to, I've
been enjoying Maroon 5, N.E.R.D. and Hot Action Cop lately. Good party
music, almost everyone seems to like them when they get put on.

In the past year I've been dabbling in a bit of female pop artists as
well, and quite enjoy a bit of Avril Lavigne, Michelle Branch and
Natasha Bedingfield (though only one song - "These Words" is just
really funky).

Of course these are mostly passing phases, my favourite bands are
typically emo, ska and punk bands. Yellowcard are a band I've been
listening to loads lately, their new
album "Ocean Avenue" is an excellent mix of pop-punk and emo, with a
violinest in the band for good measure. Other really good bands I've
enjoyed lately are...

The Smooths - Quality ska, hadn't even heard of them til playing Amped 2, now they are up there amongst my favourites!

Spitalfield - Another band I heard from Amped 2 (what a soundtrack!),
Spitalfield are a great pop-punk/emo fusion, similar to Yellowcard.

Scafull King - Uber upbeat Japanese ska, who can handle big-band style
songs with ease. Pity they are impossible to get albums of in the
western world :sad:

Rx Bandits - Quality mix of rock, nu-metal and ska. Pretty much
undefinable music, which adds to their charm. Very few bands sound like
this one!

311 - Probably my all time favourite band, 311 have such an eclectic
collection of songs yet an instantly recognisable style. Hip-hop, rap,
reggae, a little ska, and of course a healthy dose of rock, all rolled
into one :smile: Pity everyone else seems to hate them...

Pink Floyd!!!!~~~~[color=gray] Best band ever!!!~~!~~[/color]

I also listen to The Yes, some 311 and Led Zeppelin.

'These Words' is a terribly written song, which is quite ironic really

Probably not written by her either, which would add to the irony even
more :biggrin: Dunno why I like it, its really not the sort of music I
normally enjoy, but I enjoyed it from my first listen :smile:

Prodigy

My cousin went to school with keith flint :biggrin:

The prodigy were good, but there last 2 come backs weren't really a success. :sad:

electric six are pretty good aswell :rolleyes:

In Flames
Norther
Paradise Lost

Basically the big 3 that I listen to at the moment, other favorites are Ill Nino, Radiohead, Spineshank, ehm... Zeromancer's good but getting old.

Hm

• Faithless (I agree, "No Roots" is not their best one ... Sunday 8 PM is.)

• Radiohead (no need for an explanation. Hail to The thief.)

• 2 Many DJ's (belgian DJ brothers ... pretty good, international)

• The Chemical Brothers

• Leftfield

• Primal Scream

• Underworld (Born Slippy, Kiteless, Cups, Rez, King Of Snake ... and Pearls Girl !)

• Fatboy Slim (especially his DJ tracks ... live at brighton beach = on of my #1 party cd's)

• Orbital

• Moby (especially his older work, like unreleased techno tracks ... his newer work is OK too, but not really ... dance-able.)

• The Animatrix Soundtrack was really good, too.

• Cassius (not cass, there's also a DJ called cassius)

• Doves (britpop, quite good .. -> "The Last Broadcast")

• Pink Floyd (Wish You Were Here)

• Steve Miller Band

• Fischer-z

• Godsmack

• Guano Apes

• Iggy Pop !

• Incubus

• Jeff Buckley

• Luke Slater (I love his work ... it's very ... well, unique.)

• Muse

• Nightwish

• R.E.M.

• Roger Sanchez

• Santana ! (black magic woman)

• Roland Clarke (speak lord, I get deep)

• Santos

• The Levellers

• The Strokes

• Travis

• Enya

I wouldnt call the last two Prodigy releases "comebacks", or
unsuccessful for that matter :smile: Fat Of The Land is an absolutely superb
album when you delve past the Firestarter/Breathe popularity
competition..

Also, "Babys Got A Temper" - that god awful song they released to taste
always outnumbered, never outgunned was scrapped along with the
rest of the material proposed for that album - all for the better as
well, the new album is meant to be good as ever :smile:

listening to at the moment?

aphex twin

autechre

boards of canada

u.n.p.o.c.

bonobo

franz ferdinand

queens of the stone age

kyuss

neutral milk hotel

outkast

radiohead

yo la tengo..

plus a whole range of other genre defying eclectic styles.. im quite
the muso as it happens :/ perhaps should do somethign worthwhile with
my life rather than working and worshipping good music :razz:

edit: force, you have good taste.. why soil it with wannabe emo-indie
whiners like the doves? ;P and the strokes! me retches :razz:

edit #2: and without sounding like a pretentious fewl, i would list my
regular listening favourites of the moment, but its not worth it cos
they uber obscure indie/uber obscure elektronika/drum n bass, or
classical :razz:

Yo La Tengo is good.

CJ - I know what you mean about HHH, they are easy to get annoyed with.

Hell no. I can't stand... rap...

Here's a hint:

Here are few of the "albums" on my playlist :razz:

Driver

Rally Cross

Duke Nukem Saturn

Daytona

Quake

QuakeII

This should be enough to give you an idea :razz:

I'll be listening to one or more of these on any given day.

In particular order:

? Nine Inch Nails
? Tool
? Pink Floyd
? Aphex Twin
? Alan Parsons Project
? Led Zeppelin
? Queen
? Marilyn Manson
? Rammstein
? Chemical Brothers

I'm missing the original Doom music. Which rocked.

At the moment, my Chemical Brothers favo is "Out Of Control" ... or "Star Guitar" (I like the vocal parts)

Any song that has a nice smooth long (I'm sure someone will point out that I just said that) guitar solo is a good song.

One of the best song I find to listen to when I'm *cough*stoned*cough* is 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' (Either the live 7 minute version with George Harrisson and Eric Clapton, or the Jeff Healey version).

Been trying to find more songs with guitar solo's like that. The only simular solo-ed songs that I can find are Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd, and Hotel California by The Eagles.

Anybody get what I'm saying or know songs like that?

I have the original DOOM midis. :biggrin: I also recorded some HI-DEF version off the internet.

http://doomdepot.doom2.net/music.html#pc

Click on DOOM and DOOM2 midis. :biggrin:

Echoes by Pink Floyd is a superb, short&sweet song.

If 23 and a half minutes is short xD
My 26 minute version of Shine on You Crazy Diamond (Also Floyd) is great too since 22 minutes of that is guitar and keyboard solos.

Some of the better individual songs I've discovered recently:

Beastie Boys - Ch-Check it Out
Chemlab - Electric Molecular
Down - Bury Me in Smoke
Down - Stone the Crow
Dog Fashion Disco - Vertigo Motel
Dropkick Murphys - Bastards on Parade
Dropkick Murphys - The Dirty Glass
Faith No More - Midlife Crisis
Fear Factory - Corporate Cloning
Fear Factory - Archetype
Front 242 - Body to Body
Helmet - Milquetoast
Kyuss - Demon Cleaner
Laibach - WAT
Ozma - Battlescars
Red Tape - Stalingrad
Refused - New Noise
Santa Esmeralda - Don't Let Me be Misunderstood
Spineshank - Dead to Me
Tenacious D - Double Team
Tomahawk - Captain Midnight

Oh god it burns!!!

And I just spilled maple syrup on me elbow... Can't lick it off.

What? Not enough stoner rock for ya?

I've been listening to the Black Hawk Down soundtrack and the Lost Prophets album a lot recently.

What? Not enough stoner rock for ya?

Whoa! I never though of it like that... Now thats why I listen to it ^^

I am so glad that no-one has mentioned the likes of...eminem and "dr.dre" and thier lil "possie".

I bet you that dr.dre didn't even go to medical school!

Or high school

Going to medical school is not the only way to get the title 'Dr.' You
can do a Phd in whatever and you get the 'Dr.' title... but i do agree
that dr dre wouldnt have done anything to earn the title

Ok heres the music that I like

• Powderfinger
• Coldplay
• Jet

and others that i cant think of right now

He's Dr. Dre because he admired Dr. J (Julius Erving), who's also not a doctor yet I hear no complaints about that one...

Dr J graduated from the school of hard knocks, getting a doctorate in basketball with specialization in dunks started from the free throw line. I see no problem with his credentials.

He's indeed a superb basketball player, but to people who don't like basketball, who cares? I imagine the same goes for Dre if you switch basketball with rap.
