his 2nd version of hallelujah was awesome as hell.
Yeah, it was.
Didn't it get put into some movie too? Cause I thought I heard it in one once.
I forget which, though.

Styx, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, REO, Kansas, Boston, Hubastank*, Heart*, Cheap Trick, Queen, Queens of the Stone Age*,Damn Yankees, Black Sabbath (especially the Deo years), Elton John, Billy Joel, Electrasy*, and so many more.
Okay, I'll admit it. I love music. I like almost every band that I've ever heard. Although most of the ones I spend money on are Classic Rock and Jazz.



*(haven't hears much but loved all i've heard)

shreck, sadly enough.

Right now I'm diggin' Sex Mob and The Dirty Dozen Brass Band because I just got new ones of each, plus replaced an old Sex Mob (plays Bond).

There is also a new World Saxophone Quartet that I want pretty bad, but I don't want to buy it off the iTunes store. So, World Saxophone Quartet.

I also like the Kronos Quartet.

And now, the band you'll beat me up for, Cherry Poppin' Daddies. Look, they had three very much not swing revival albums before that song....and they're pretty cool.....oh, fine...make your jokes.....pfffffbbbllllllttttt)

Let's see what I got on ye olde iTunes:

The 5th Dimension, The Arcade Fire, Arturo Sandoval, Atmosphere, Billy Joel, Blast! (not really a band per se, but close enough), Bruce Springsteen, The Darkness, Chicago (as well as CTA), Earth Wind and Fire, Harry Chapin, Hootie and the Blowfish, Huey Lewis and the News, Jimmy Eat World, Maynard Ferguson, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Queen, Reel Big Fish, Sammy Davis Jr., Schooner Fare (if you've heard of them, I'll be impressed), Stellastarr*, Stevie Wonder, Styx, the Temptations, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Trans-Siberian Orchestra

Addendum: Just about anything from the DCI, but especially the Cadets, Phantom Regiment, Cavaliers, Blue Devils, and Santa Clara Vanguard, in that order.

Johnny Cash, and Tenacious D.

I always thought they sucked, until I actually listened to some of their songs. They're pretty good.

What do they fall under in terms of genre, new wave or indie or what?

What do they fall under in terms of genre, new wave or indie or what?I have absolutely no idea what they would be. I guess new wave is as good a category as any. No one ever listens to me when I tell them that stellastarr really isn't that bad. I think I've had "My Coco" stuck in my head for a solid year.

You know, I was just sitting down trying to think of music to ..go...get and umm, loaded up NS and saw this, so it works.

I like most music types.

Everything from Traditional Celtic Music to Classical to Techno to Eurodance to Rock to Hard Rock to Punk yadda yadda yadda. If I like it, I will listen to it, if it gets repetitive, it gets tossed. but I LOVE music.

2 dead , one in jail, most of the church burner guys are drifting waifs types, and roadies for bands. some grew up and went back to college, some moved out of country, the whole thing is dead now. and believe me, it wasn;t that good when it was "alive'

oh, i know. anyone who listens to gaytallica nowadays might as well hang themselves. sorry if i offended anyone, but iam serious.

i dont like any of them. or know thempleasedonthurtme

I don't hurt, I love. All of my talk was simplyh to get you to listen to the bands I like. Thye are all awesome.

Well, I had a list of a whole bunch of bands but I accidentally deleted it. So let me just say, WTF? Nobody, NOBODY, mentioned Bob Marley and the Wailers? Bob Marley and the Wailers? WTF?

yeah, it was good when it was alive.. whats better then that soap opera?

oh, i know. anyone who listens to gaytallica nowadays might as well hang themselves. sorry if i offended anyone, but iam serious.

do we hold out hope for their new album??
i think not, it will only end in dissapointment

I bought that new CD, umm, Saint Anger, don't know why, just saw it and thought I would give it a chance. Well, I did, and I got into the first song, skipped it, next, skipped it too, this repeated for the entire cd, so it became my new coaster, it was never returned to its CD slip, and the video disk never even came out. The last I saw it, it was covered in spilt soda, and I felt it deserved the fate, and left it that way, as for the music cd itself, I have no idea, I kept tossing it around like a frisbee. Didn't break it though, didn't want to waste the energy, Should have named it, Saint Jude, a lost cause.

sorry, i dont spend my whole life smoking drugs so i dont really listen to them

i am holding out hope thatthey light themsleves on fire , damn sellouts.

yeah, it was good when it was alive.. whats better then that soap opera? because if you were a norwegian metal head, not in that little circle of gayness, it was MORTIFYING.

sorry, i dont spend my whole life smoking drugs so i dont really listen to them

Absolutely no reason to think you need drugs to enjoy the Wailers, it helps, but stll they are good.

i am holding out hope thatthey light themsleves on fire , damn sellouts.

A sad progression happening in all the punk, rock and metal genres.
Green Day got even more poppy (i didnt think that was possible) and another band i cant remember who used to do good punk tried to emulate blink in their last single

Absolutely no reason to think you need drugs to enjoy the Wailers, it helps, but stll they are good.

im skeptical, although i am partial to a little UB40, who are kind of in that sort of drug smoking genre

Green Day got even more poppy (i didnt think that was possible) and another band i cant remember who used to do good punk tried to emulate blink in their last single not sad. it kicks out the posers, you know?plus, you dont worry about having to buy new cds, when they all suck. just stick to the oulde stuff pre- 2002, and you are good

im skeptical, although i am partial to a little UB40, who are kind of in that sort of drug smoking genre

Ha, ub40 cracks me up.

Red, Red Wine...
Stay close to me,
Don't let me be alone,
Red, red wine.

because if you were a norwegian metal head, .
Are you from Norway??
If so how do you put up with living in america?

I like Death From Above 1979, Rogue Wave, Elefant, The Shins, Spoon, Beck, Beulah, Belle and Sebastian, The Beta Band, The Spinners, Television, and many others, and if you don't like those I will kikc your ass like a mother fucker. Bitch.
Indie fan, eh?
B&S are pretty good. I didn't like FYHCYWLAP, but Dear Catastrophy Waitress was an improvement.

I need to go pick up some Spoon, because "Jonathon Fisk" and "The Way We Get By" are awesome songs.

DFA1979 have been growing on me since they started getting airtime on local college radio. I might go pick up their album.

because if you were a norwegian metal head, not in that little circle of gayness, it was MORTIFYING.
If I even mention listening to Mayhem or Bathory people ask me if I burn churches.
:mad:

I love Jonathan Fisk, first song by Spoon I had ever heard, and now I love you. :fluffle:

DFA doesn't quite qualify as indie, as they are a little too heavy, but Romantic Rights and Sexy Results are two of my favorites songs from '04.

Whatever they are, they rock.

Whatever they are, they rock.

Ugh. My mind just went blank.
Violent Femmes
Seven Year Bitch
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Police
Led Zeppelin
Smashmouth
Nirvana

alongside foo fighters, QOTSA and Tenacious D, this is pretty much spot on for me. :mp5:

Lately I've been listening to Procupine Tree, Dead Soul Tribe and a little My Bloody Valentine, and lots of Devin Townsend. Bands on the list: Lamb of God, Vintersorg, Dimmu Borgir, 3 Inches of Blood, Amorphis, H.I.M., Finntroll, Children of Bodom, Sentenced, Poisonblack (how does so much awesome fit into a little country like Finnland?), Opeth, Scissorfight, Megaherz, Platypus, Within Temptation, Agalloch, Deadsy, Dream Theater, Fates Warning, Rush, Anathema, Amon Amarth, Paradise Lost, Strapping Young Lad, and of course the almighty Type O Negative. For the odd industrial/goth tune I like Project Pitchfork, Wolfsheim, Front Line Assembly, Zeromancer, and My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult

In no particular order:

Alice in Chains, Acid Bath, Tool, Switchblade Symphony, Nine Inch Nails, Miranda Sex Garden, Danzig, Machines of Loving Grace, The Back Horn, System of a Down, The Velvet Underground, The Beastie Boys, Sublime

Oh yes, Alice in Chains. One of the few decent grunge type bands along with The Cooper Temple Clause.

Tsk tsk Theater :p

The live albulms are definitly worth getting. Think I have every albulm released by them-ah the wonders of the internet. All legal. Of course *shifty eyes*

I've been reccomended 'An evening with John Petrucci & Jordan Rudess'.... you don't happen to have it? Apparantly it's slower... hmm, definitly worth looking out for though I'm sure.

Tsk tsk Theater :p
But theatre is such a superior spelling!

The Who, The Beatles (suprised I haven't seen that one yet), and Pink Floyd.

Oh, and of course, Weird Al Yankovic :D

Currently I'm on "Honor thy Father".

Hehe, try the nice ecclecticness of Darkthrone, Suzzane Vega and The Eagles :D

Yay, another fan :D

That's the first albulm I heard by them. 'As I Am' is still one of my favourite songs by them, I can remember being blown away by it when I heard it-I was just getting into a whole new scene of music.

The solo in "As I am" is brain-melting. That is one of the the most incredibly hard-sounding solos I've ever heard that managed not to sound like guitar wankery.

I know, was a lovely treat for my first prog band to hear something like that which is probably why prog is my favourite genre. I was worried when I heard it live it wouldn't live up to my expectations but it did. Excellent excellent band.

In the order that they appear in my head: Bon Jovi, Muse, Ayreon, 3 Colours Red, Queen, Pink Floyd, Bryan Adams, Live, Foo Fighters, Nightwish, RHCP, Offspring, Reel Big Fish, Placebo, Within Temptation, Sonata Arctica, Smashing Pumpkins, Alice Cooper (Bought Alice Cooper gig tickets last week, I'm still giddy about it :D)
