Stop talking about Metal

Post Reply New Topic

This is a metal-free zone. discuss any other form of music, though preferably good music.

damn right....too many people here (my age) are in love with bands I haven't listened to since I was 12. We need more variety.

OK you asked for it *starts talking about disco and elevator muzak*

I don't listen to metal unless it's in Japanese. I listen to all sorts of Japanese music and video game music. That's all I listen to.

do you think i would talk about pop music or any other band thats overplayed and overated like maroon 5 or coldplay cause whatever is "WHATS HOT" is "WHAT SUCKS"
it does NOT get any better than metal

wow what do you guys listen to, besides metal?

TECHNO!! !

James Brown
Miles Davis (Late 60's early 70's era)

Alanis Morisette and the Barenaked Ladies are my top favorite artists. Alanis because of her sheer manhating rage, the Barenaked Ladies because they can be really serious, really deep, really weird and really funny all at once (like me! god I'm an egotist) and just because they're awesome.

And don't knock them (The BNL- Morisette you like or you don't, or you hate until you have a relationship that ends badly) unless you've heard enough of them to make a judgement. For example, even a hardcore anti-popular-music fan would probably find some merit in "tonight is the night I fell asleep at the wheel" for the sheer audacious morbidity, and that final high note at the end that adds delightful insult to injury.

lets see i like
METAL

Might I point out that you dislike it when people hijack your metla threads but you are hijacking this nonmetal thread to be a metal thread? It's kind of cognitively dissonant.

I like heaps of different sub-genres but just feel very comfortable with prog rock. Everything from Pink Floyd to Mogwai to Radiohead to Yes etc, it's just very nice. I entered a comp for JJJ for my fav 15 Australian songs mixtape, I hope I win as I wouldn't mind working for them heh.

I despise metal! I listen to angry music, i.e. Evanscence, Creed, The Rasmus, but really, my music's happy, mostly rock, pop and alternative stuff.

I like any kind of music if its good. I think.

Does anyone else agree that disco in recent times has been severly underated. I purchased a Chic (Les Plus Grands Plus Succes) vinyl the other day for the grand sum of one pound sterling. It is without doubt an amazingly, spirit lifting album.

Without Chic artists like The Smiths (Johnny Marr has stated in an interview that Good Times is a personal favourite of his), Gang of Four and dare I say Franz Ferdinand.

Also what about the nineties electronic dance acts? The Chemical brothers are fantastic as are The Prodigy. Is anyone eelse enamoured of these groups?

Oh yes. The Prodigy is brilliant. I saw them live in Reading '98 and they were amazing. Back before they got old and past it, say I pushing 31 now.

For many years, Music For The Jilted Generation was a permanent feature in my car stereo, but I had to take it out because it made me drive like a lunatic!
