Music Lovers

[jeckel22]

Well, I figured I would start a new thread here and see what kind of music people are into. Feel free to post any songs here as well. I like Blink 182, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Creed, Green Day, Kenny Chesney, Toby Keith, Rascal Flatts. I mainly listen to country, but I also listen to just about anything else.

[Tekkaman]

Overall, I'm a fan of anything that sounds good. In general though, I tend to shy away from Country and Rap/Hip-Hop as they usually don't pique my interest. To narrow it down even further, I enjoy mostly Alternative Rock and Techno/Electronica...and most things that come out of Japan. :mrgreen:

As for specific musicians/bands that I like, I guess I can name a few:
Live, Metallica, Green Day, Nickelback, Disturbed, Linkin Park, Breaking Benjamins, Sevendust, Trapt, Bloodhound Gang, Tenacious D, DJ Rap, t.a.t.u., Weird Al, Hirasawa Susumu, m.o.v.e., Yoko Kanno, E-Rotic, Groove Coverage, etc...

Tenser, you have my favorite list so far that isn't my own. Do you like Gnarls Barkley?

Edit: Also, I saw Tom Petty live. Stevie Nicks also showed up on stage and sang with him. It was a great show.

[thebird1003]

your the reson in my life your my insperation

[Kong]

Del McCoury, Devendra Banhart, Doc Watson, Ekova, Jim Stafford, Blake Shelton, John Prine, Wicked Tinkers, Iron & Wine, Louis Prima.

Metalica fans should check out Apocaliptica.

Blood Hound Gang and Tenasious D are great - very funny stuff.

I hate the genre that Folk Implosion fits into. But I like them.

I don't like techno but two very good techno bands are Infected Mushroom and Sphongle. The second is not 100% techno.

But I mainly listen to audio books or silence.

All great. I typically always have my tv on MTV, MTV 2, VH1, Fuse, CMT, or GAC.

[sabby]

I listen to just about anything except for most country (that early twangy stuff just hits the wrong nerve, some of the newer stuff is OK). I have been on an 80's kick lately (mainly the one-hit wonders of the time period). But when I'm tired of that usually the Chili Peppers, Beastie Boys, Gorillaz, and a few more that are on Tenser, Tekka, and Tom's list(there's a lethal T bunch, huh?) I really do not have a favorite band. I also have this one track on my computer from this new guy (I have a feeling he and his group might make it big some day:mrgreen:)

Tom: My wife loves Erykah Badu, especially the song "Tyrone" (it's definitely a female empowered song).

Jeckel: Do they play music on MTV or VH1 anymore? They should almost re-title those stations:Wanna-be celebrity not anyone's real reality TV.

[jeckel22]

You have to watch them late at night. Most of the time I work nights so, that is what I watch. I think they start playing music at about 2 or 3 a.m. (my time) and it goes on until about 9 or so. Not exactly sure of the times. When they stop, that is when I change it to GAC or CMT.

[Kugyince]

Yeah, I love experimental. It gives you something new and different in every song. I just got tired of every chord being a power chord and the Nirvana bass lines (two strings 4 frets).

I'm a huge Tom Petty fan and own a lot of his lesser known stuff. That's actually the best Petty. People are always surprised when I show them Petty's penchant for experimentation, i.e. country, rock-a-billy, folk, etc...

Though the greatest band ever has to be Pink Floyd. If they just started today they'd still be before their time.

I love that song as well. I guess that is what you get for living in a house with 4 women when you are young.

I'm a sucker for a smooth voice, whether it be Erykah, Curtis Mayfield, or the singer from Maroon 5.

[thebird1003]

4 women??? im guessing your living with your mother a 3 sister???

[TrakMastaTom]

I did when I was younger.

[Kugyince]

That explains your odd feminine mystique.

[jeckel22]

oooooo. He went there. SLAP. :doh:

[thebird1003]

That explains your odd feminine mystique. Im guessing your telling him to man up???

[TrakMastaTom]

That explains your odd feminine mystique.

I will fight you! Then we'll see who has odd feminine mystique.

[thebird1003]

ohhh.... he called youout tenten

[Kugyince]

I will fight you! Then we'll see who has odd feminine mystique.

You understand that if you're the one who is challenging me to a duel then I get to choose the weapons right?;)

Pistols at high noon? Nah to cliche...

Curveball it is then!

[Kugyince]

Guess I was right, honey.:mrgreen:

[TrakMastaTom]

You got lucky.

[Kong]

I don't know which of you two went first but there is a distinct advantage to going second. I've learned that from the Kong Challenge.

[Kugyince]

I think we went at the same time really. The "advantage" is only in the NES games and some of the Flash games because you can play over and over until you win to submit your score.

Call it an advantage if you want, I call it cheating in my book. I'm always getting challenges for this or that game. If its not an auto-post game I always decline them.

Curveball auto-submits your score so there's no getting out of it.

[Kong]

You still know how good you have to be. You know if you have to bring your A-game or not. In a short game like curveball it doesn't matter but if your playing an NES game that can take an hour to get a good score in then you want to know how long you need to play.

[Kugyince]

Curveball might be short, but if you want a score over 30,000 you have to have your A-game right from the get go. I missed out on +30k because of a minor slip up on level 5.

None of that matters though. The fact is if you play second in a game that doesn't auto post you can play over and over until you win. That's cheating.

[Kong]

If you play first you can play over and over until you set a score that is so intimidating that the other person just gives up.

[Kugyince]

I don't know buddy, that's still cheating in my book. I guess it's just my silly gamer pride but I submit my first score whether it sucks or its great.

[Example] I really, REALLY didn't like my S.C.A.T. score and could easily double it. But that was the score I got the first time out so I submitted it.

[Tekkaman]

Yeah...so...music is great. :p

[sabby]

Yeah...really great. :p:p

[pinoycelt]

I go for many different kinds of music. Favorites (in no order, and not all of them) are Seal, Lauryn Hill, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Whitesnake, Black Box, Chopin, Tchaikovsky, Bach, Handel's Messiah, Scott Joplin, Michael Jackson, Prince, Snap, Duran Duran, Mint Condition, Toto, Tears For Fears, Maxwell

[Dudebro]

I mainly listen to audio books or silence.
This amuses me. It made me picture Kong just sitting there jamming to nothing. You're an odd dude, bro :curl-lip:

[TodayIsForgotten]

I wonder if he is friends with Air-Guitar-Bill, from my Gym. Dude will start strumming guitar riffs out of nowhere. I think its tourettes, but it is funny/awkward. I hear he's looking for a drummer.

[StarfoxFan2009]

Anything oldies related from the 30s up to the 80s, as well as some modern country like Toby Keith, Alan Jackson, Trace... xD

[Razeluxe]

My music tastes go a little bit of everywhere. Just going to list artists I like in no order.

Voltaire, Coheed & Cambria, Halou, Lotus Juice, Frank Sinatra, A Cuckoo, Matt Dusk, Alvin Band, Miniature Tigers, The Protomen, Lincoln Durham, David Bowie, Nujabes, ThouShaltNot, The Flashbulb, Infected Mushroom, System of a Down (and Serj Tankian's solo stuff), Bang Camaro, Blind Guardian, Dream Theater, Gorillaz, Michael Jackson, The Killers, Tonetta, Blue October, Billy Idol.
