I've been going through my collection of CDs lately, only to find that I really don't have one--I've got about 10 CDs, most of which are Green Day. This makes me feel sad. I love Green Day, but I just can't listen to it so often, I'm gonna make myself tired of it, and that would be horrible. :(

I need suggestions for bands. If anyone knows of something that might appeal to a Green Day fan, please, speak up! You might just get a fluffle. ;)

Seriously, here. I need help. All I've got is the Green Day albums, Between the Never and the Now by Vendetta Red, and three Nirvana albums. I've been deprived! I had to sneak almost all my CDs past my parents, they're music nazis.

name a few other bands you like.. i just might have something for you. if you'd like i could aim you something if you were intrested.

What? they wont let you listen to greenday? Whats wrong with greenday? If they didnt let you listen to Korn or Marilyn Manson I could understand... but greenday? They really are nazis... lol

So what type of music do you like? I can only offer you heavy metal and progressive rock bands...

Heh, sorry, but if your parents are strict about you listening to Green Day, then there's no way they'll approve you listening to the kind of music I like.

yes, but if they didnt mind sneaking those CDs in, im sure they could sneak more in...

Beethoven.

Agh, sorry for the delay, my computer isn't liking me.

I don't know what's wrong with Green Day, they're just insane. You weren't there when they actually saw what they looked like... following that were a stream of questions, such as, "Are they that thing called 'hard rock'? Are they goth?! Are they druggies?! DO THEY USE VULGAR LANGUAGE IN THEIR MUSIC?!?!?!"

No, no--I am not exaggerating.

Well, because of the music nazi-ing, I don't really know about that much music, all of my stuff has come randomly from friends. Green Day is my absolute favorite, so I guess that means I like punk rock. Vendetta Red is okay, not great, but okay. Same with Nirvana. OH--I like Queen and Led Zeppelin (I think--a friend gave me a mix CD and said some of their stuff was on it... *shrugs*)

I really can't give you any more than that... but, the good news is that I can learn to like most music, so probably anything you suggest is good.

here.. how about this - i have a few cds on my computer and and can aim them to you. heres a list

Alice in Chains - Discography

EDIT
oh, and theres a ton of bands that i dont have full cds for.. but i wont type those out unless you want.

yes, but if they didnt mind sneaking those CDs in, im sure they could sneak more in...
Yes, I'm quite capable of that. Of course, I need to find an excuse to go shopping for the third time this week (just to clarify, this isn't normal for me, the last time I went shopping was November), and then come back with some evidence of shopping. And then explain why a t-shirt costs $70 at Ross while managing to keep about 5 new CDs out of sight in my 7 in. square purse.

But I've gotten good at these things. :cool:

*snip*
That would be great, except that there are about 20 different problems with that. Biggest one is that I have the slowest dial-up connection you have ever seen, and it takes four hours for an entire album to transfer, and I like to have more than just a couple songs, so that I get a better idea of what the music is like. And, heh, I just need a couple suggestions, there's no way I could get all that stuff. :p

haha, i dont care if you dont... just a matter of leaving it on... besides, im gonna go to sleep soon and i leave my computer on with music playing.

and i will give you suggestions... but i have to ask one more question. what kind of things do you want to hear? do you want to hear yelling? acoustic? deep lyrics?

if you dont know, i'll just tell you a few people who a greenday fan might like.

Beethoven.
Yeah... classical is a no. I'm sick and tired of it, my parents were those type of people that made me listen to that stuff since I was in the womb. I had to listen to almost nothing but classical until I was, what... 10? Yeah, that sounds right. I cringe at the sound of Mozart now. Neee... :headbang:

Listen. To. Rush.

here.. how about this - i have a few cds on my computer and and can aim them to you. heres a list

*snip*

Impressive selection. Perhaps I could take you up on the AIM transfer?

Also, a band I would suggest would be Dry Cell. They're an incredible band with similar stylistics to Green Day.

Listen. To. Rush.

for the love of god, dont listen to him! rush is icky!

(thats my opinion, and its a joke, just in case someone reads that and gets pissed.)

Get a PO Box and I'll burn you like 15 CDs.

thanks. and sure... if you'd like i could give you a list of all the bands that i dont have full cds for. i'll tg you my aim name.

Maybe it's just because I've been listening to their discography for the last 5 hours, but I suggest Nine Inch Nails.

Err...Nothing like Green Day, being industrial. I doubt any music-nazi parents would appreciate it, either. But it's awfully good, anyways.

Damnit, you should have said that before! :rolleyes: If you know what a Green Day fan would like, the speak up, for god's sake!

Like I said, there's more than one problem with me getting music over AIM. Too many to go into detail about.

I don't really know what I want to hear. I know I like a good singing voice--the reason I'm not too crazy about Nirvana is because Cobain sounds like he's constantly being strangled. So, yes... what do you think a Green Day fan would like?

Also, a band I would suggest would be Dry Cell. They're an incredible band with similar stylistics to Green Day.
Dry Cell... noted. Thankies! :fluffle:

Damnit, you should have said that before! :rolleyes: If you know what a Green Day fan would like, the speak up, for god's sake!
heh, sorry... ah, well as far as bands you should check out, for nice voice, try alice in chains. personally i would suggest "Unplugged in NY". for greenday-ness, the hives are good without being too much like them. try "Tyrannosaurus Hives"

if you dont like them, sorry.. i would hate to spend money to get cds i dont like... good luck, and sorry your parents are musical nazis. you should get old, classical music cd cases and put good stuff inside them.

Get a PO Box and I'll burn you like 15 CDs.
Yeah, maybe when I actually have a car to get around in without my parents. :headbang:

If you haven't gotten it by now, my parents are truly anal. So yeah.

off topic question - how much does a po box cost if at all?

Uhhh, don't know how to help you then.

Haha, good idea. Thanks, I'll try those--you've been great.
You win a fluffle!
:fluffle:

Good question... I'll need one of those as soon as I get my liscense... *plots*

:fluffle:

Yay, I feel so special.

Well what are they like? Or, actually, if they have a website, I'll just check it out there...

Well thanks a bunch. Maybe I'll get velvet underground if I'm feeling random sometime. :p

Nighty-night.

Pearl Jam, Faith No More, Ramones, Alice In Chains, Metallica and Rage against the Machine are all awesome, in my opinion at least

Eh, if you like Green Day and Nirvana...check out Weezer. Your parents probably won't object to Sonic Youth either.

I also recommend Queens of the Stone Age, but they're a little different. And their music is kinda drugged.

Your parents would definitely allow Weezer's blue album, as long as they didn't listen too closely.

REEL BIG FISH, Daft Punk, Digable Planets, Cake, Save Ferris, Veruca Salt...

I live a little bit in the past... but these are all great ones in my book that are as outspoken, have as witty lyrics as Green Day or are as punk (some slightly pop-like) as Green Day.

:)

Oh! I second Velvet Underground, Ramones and Peal Jam!!

I don't think her parents would listen too closely...I mean, they overlooked "Green Day". :p

And I second the call for RUSH as well! Hell yay! Gotta love those drums...

RBF +++, Daft Punk ++, Cake +

Check out The Littlest Man Band.

Somebody recommended Alice in Chains so lets hope mom doesn't get too many close listens.

Heheh!

Well, she should definitely get QOTSA's "Rated R" album. The title says it all :D

Heheh!

I would recommend to her "Cocaine" by Eric Clapton. It's fun for all ages!

Nine Inch Nails - Downward Spiral

I would recommend to her "Cocaine" by Eric Clapton. It's fun for all ages!

That one too. :D

Rammstein- the lyrics are in german! They don't speak German, so they? :p
And if you like Queen and Led Zep, listen to more of them- it should keep you busy for a few years. ;)

Edit: If they do you're basically screwed... I mean, bestrafe Mich? Teehee.
Edit edit: if they "do" speak German that is. :p

bestrafe mich is a rather nasty song......so is heirate mich, but i'd rather not go there...

i mostly listen to russian music anyway.

Yeah... classical is a no. I'm sick and tired of it, my parents were those type of people that made me listen to that stuff since I was in the womb. I had to listen to almost nothing but classical until I was, what... 10? Yeah, that sounds right. I cringe at the sound of Mozart now. Neee... :headbang:

:(

Your missing out.

You should point out to your parents that Beethoven was banned for a time (for get where, Britain I think) for being "morally corrupting" :p

Velvet Underground are absolutley brilliant imo.
So are Queens of the Stone Age. As well as a few other bands mentioned (actually, all the ones mentioned rock).

Also try and find some Misfits stuff, Mission of Burma are cool too. Joy Division are awesome too. New Order are good to, but I'm notsure if their music will appeal to you. Also check out Tsunami Bomb, not a far cry away from Greenday imo.

I need suggestions for bands. If anyone knows of something that might appeal to a Green Day fan, please, speak up! You might just get a fluffle. ;)
If they haven't been mentioned already:
'The Buzzcocks', and 'Stiff Little Fingers'.
Then you'll get to hear who Greenday ripped pretty much their entire sound off.
Also try 'The Clash', and 'The Jam', for great punk music. And one band I had forgotten about until recently, 'Magazine' (One of their songs just popped into my head the other day - weird how that happens). Their best album was "Rays and Hail". Shot by both sides, The light pours out of me and The Motorcade are awesome songs.
I also like Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin), but that's mainly because it doesn't make sense until you say out loud.

For something a little newer, and American, try 'The Pixies'.

Yeah... classical is a no. I'm sick and tired of it, my parents were those type of people that made me listen to that stuff since I was in the womb.

Well what you should do it beat your parents at their own game. If they forced you to listen to classical music and dont want you to listen to anything else, then get some 20th century classical stuff. Like pendereski or shoenberg. Its worse than the most extreme black metal, that'll show them.

Your parents probably won't object to Sonic Youth either.
Uh, execpt during their "experimental noise" period

i'm a green day fan and i also love good charlotte

There is not an emoticon in the world that would express my hatred for Good Charlotte

I've been going through my collection of CDs lately, only to find that I really don't have one--I've got about 10 CDs, most of which are Green Day. This makes me feel sad. I love Green Day, but I just can't listen to it so often, I'm gonna make myself tired of it, and that would be horrible. :(

Oh and Resident Evil, Resident Evil Apocolypse, Mortal Combat, Mortal Combat Annihilation soundtracks are good as well.

Uh, execpt during their "experimental noise" period

;)

I reccomend the following.

Dave Matthews Band
Coldplay
Keane(Just picked up thier CD-Not too shabby)
Ninja Magic
Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals
Herbie Hancock
Dizzy Gelespi
John Coltrane
Billy Joel
The Beatles
Elton John
Jimi Hendrix
The Doors
Kool and the Gang
Pearl Jam
Phish

And a Variety of other rock, funk, and jazz bands.

Not sure if any of this would apply to you, however.

bestrafe mich is a rather nasty song......so is heirate mich, but i'd rather not go there...
Heh. Rammstein is awesome.
I haven't heard much off their latest album yet. I wonder if it's any good?
i mostly listen to russian music anyway.
I have exactly one song in Russian, which is the song "Trust Yourself" by NAiVE.
It's a good song.
Wow, that was off-topic.
