Personally, my favorite would have to be Alternative, like Nickelback and Silvertide.

I prefer Devonian Gabbros with a high quartzite content, myself. I have rather refined tastes.:p
Led Zeppland

AC/DC, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin (I am playing "Bring it on home" right now), The Doors, Black Sabbath, Tom Petty, and all the other good stuff

Brighton Rock, with the word "Brighton" running right through it, sugary goodness.

Punk rock usually - but ska, indie, glam, some alternative and britrock is good too. I love the Sex Pistols! Also New Wave - like The Cure - is good.

I like Classic Rock, like Led Zepplin, The Who, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors.
Stuff like that.


But my true passion is gangster rap. The good stuff, not that crappy Lil' Jon crap.

It's that pinky ring shit, the legend of masked kid
Shoot out the speakers when my guns get jurassic
Superbad, who am I? Dolemite classic
The vandal's back, hands on Angela Bassett
I handle my plastic, gunplay I mastered
No coke, dope mixed down with acid on record
Broken down and crafted in seconds
Lady's choice, the golden voice still peppered
Better, respect it, bitch believe
I pull rabbits out the hat, tricks up my sleeves
I air out the showroom, the shit can breathe
Fix your weave, behold my expertise
WU-TANG! \/\/


I am totally going to get hated on for that.

Noooo! Sedimentary rocks are an absolute bitch to identify. Igneous is easy, there's only seven or eight main minerals, and they're usually obvious. The only good sediment is a nice quartzite sandstone. Mmm homogenity...

Metamorphic is 73h |20xx0|2z people! Come on, wake up and smell the boiling lava in which it's formed! Anything with the word 'morph' in is cool - they're like the Transformers of geology!


Can you imagine how intense a show like that would be? 'Metamorphics, Sedimen'tries in disguise!!' ... could use some work perhaps. But the potential is there.

But anyway, at the moment I'd probably go for prog rock - Genesis, Peter Gabriel etc etc. The rest is mostly good too, but... I can't be arsed to think of examples :D

SUBGENRE NAMES ARE ARBITRARY.

I dunno. I never think about genres anymore. I just categorize my music with scene and amount of cred. Never genre =/

But, here's a random list of 10 rock bands I listen too. Feel free to tell me what genre they fall under, cuz I don't have a clue. By the way, I don't think that "indie" is a genre.

Sleater-Kinney
Fugazi
Rhapsody (well I know this one is power metal! =D)
The Flaming Lips
Echo & the Bunnymen
Joy Division
Broken Social Scene
Of Montreal
The Smiths/Morrissey
Death from Above 1979

That would be igneous then, metamorphic rocks are igneous or sedimentary that have been changed due to heat and pressure. *folds arms and *nod**

Pumice? Yeah that's pretty cool... don't go drinking with it though - it's kind of a lightweight *two drums and a cymbal fall from the sky*lmao, I'm remembering that.

i disagree, to say indie is not a genre just because it means "independant record labell" is now wrong. Indie used to mean such, but now it has developed its own sounds, deeper vocals, large use of the bass drum etc etc.

Its just like emo, used to mean "emotional music" but now its anything with whiney lyrics and voice and stuff.

It may not have been a genre, but it is now.
Punk rock and indie rock are my favourite rocks. Joy division and the smoths are fuking awesome.

Soft rocks suck....anything you can dissolve with dilute HCl is not worth the time of day.....a nice hard rock is best, preferably a high-U granite which has either miarolitic cavities or has been slightly weathered producing secondary minerals! :D

I'm not sure for what exactly you're blaming the two - your lack in posting clarity skills or our differing definition of "rock" - but I've been a victim of neither American schools nor CNN, and I was very surprised to see the OP talking about music, so there. :p

Pumice just because it strayed from the group and took swimming lessons.:)

Now, if it's music were talking about; harimetalishhardrockmetal will do it for me. Anything from Twisted Sister to Motorhead to whatever.

To the OP; my sister met Nickleback the other week when the played in Lethbridge. A client of hers invited her to the show, afterwards they went to some bar and Nickleback came in and Ryan Peake hung out with them.

quick question about silvertide, how big are they now??? i used to see them for free at pennypack park in philly, pa. I also crowd surfed the lead singer twice.
Always knew they would make it.

thrash metal, heavy metal, grindcore, punk rock, classic rock, psychedellic rock. too many bands and changes too much according to mood to be specific
