The Obligatory Music Thread

With all the new peoples here, I'm wonderin' what y'all listen to.

I primarily listen to metal/Things That Rock, but not the loud senseless kind. I like complex music with a large range of instruments and structured melodies. Vocal aesthetics are a big plus. Acoustic guitar + good voice = happy in my pants.

Things like Sonata Arctica, Nightwish, Blackmore`s Night, Dragonforce, Edguy etc. etc. etc. etc. The Classics of Rock I don't mention because everyone likes/knows those.

I'd offer to mail some samples, but Jake says that's wrong. (PM me )

What kind of techno?

dance mostly...sometimes trance when I'm doin chores...keeps me movin

ie. Benny Benassi (I FOUND SATISFACTION FIRST! and Sweet dreams is SO much better....it has the much needed CowBell)

Global DJ's are prolly my fav fav atm though...sound of sanfransisco and one night in bangkok ... oh and everytime is pretty good too

I'm not saying I like it, I'm rather indifferent...what's so bad about country? Some of the early songs are much better than some pop music. (Which does not make them all that great, but still)

I mean hillbilly country...liek the country we have out here...in the country

I'm listening to a song now with like 10000000 bpm. It rocks so hard, I think it's probably degrading my health.

I mostly listen to Classic Rock (Zepplin, Stones, Beatles, The Who, Supertramp, CCR, Queen etc)

However, I'm very into hard rock stuff that has a Black Sabbath undertone to it. An example would include Queens of the Stone Age (my favorite modern band). I also enjoy The White Stripes (one of the better UK bands in a while).

Strangely I also enjoy ambient electronic music. Especially when I'm sleeping, dining, or just relaxing.

Do you know about the Ayreon project? Each disk is different, yet still a masterpiece tribute to classic rock.

I was blown away.

I am not much fan of music, but I like bands like:

Placebo
U2
Maroon5
Genesis

I can't think of more. Problem is, music good, but understanding is hard very for me!

leave the noob alone!

leave noobs alone i respect them after they saved my life in cod2!

no you need an explanation i was sniping with one and got shot pretty bad he saw the guy before he could get off another shot on me and got him right in the head!

no he got 4 shots on 3 snipers and killed them when i was going to plant a bomb on target a in brecourt

I agree, but it is fun to harass them as newbs. 8)

I can't value someone's opinion when they are posting with bad grammar. Everyone makes mistakes here and there, but when I see it on a regular basis, my opinion of that person steadily declines. It's not too hard to proof read your posts before hitting that submit button.

The only time I don't use propper grammar when typing is on chat programs, but I rarely discuss anything serious on there and it's only with people I know well enough to where we can converse in a more casual manner.

When you come to a forum where you don't know anyone on a personal level, I believe you should put your best foot forward and try to get people to think highly of you.

Despite popular opinion, grammar is important and it is a direct reflection on your level of intelligence.

Obviously, none of this is directed at you. I'm just venting. It's nice to find someone that agrees with me on this point.

I speak 5!

Those don't count!

I already stated that I'm a newb around here. However, this is not the first forum I've posted on.

Yet you still use propper grammar *for the most part.*

what did you post on hotmidget.com

Took the words out of my mouth... umm, off my fingers.

Mike.

Do you know Edguy? Hair bands are not dead!

finally someone who can stay on topic

What a band. Mate of mine got to see them playing Glastonbury 2003 with Grohl on drums, the lucky git. And he never lets an opprtunity to remind me of that go by, the bastage.

Not a bad band. I have a friend who plays them far too often, I swear that he will actually wear out the cd. We call him Queenie, it pissed him right off, but you can't let someone get away with only ever playing one band when he has a music collection that covers the best of most genres.

I have a soft spot for 80's pop/rock, too-- Bengals, Cars, The Police, Styx, Heuy Lewis and the News)

I'm actually going to see an 80's cover band tomorrow... They are pretty fun! Check out their website.

I'll get back to my music preferences later... Gotta go get some work done... Well, sit in my chair and get some work down.

**Edit** Hey Fishmahn, you should come out next Saturday too!
