I have classic "teenageritis" which makes me watch MTV and listen to rap. It's almost gotten to the point where i can understand most all the words in rap songs now. Some of my favorite bands/singers are:

Greenday
Sum 41
Blink 182
Nelly
Ludacris
Da Swishahouse (Paul Wall, Chamelionaire, and DJ Screw)

I also like techno.
Sandstorm is the best song ever! :D

Supertramp:

Logical Song (When I was young it seemed that life was so wonderful...)

Bloody Well Right (Right, you're bloody well right you know you got a right to say...)

Breakfast In America (Take a look at my girlfriend,She's the only one I got...)

Goodbye Stranger (Goodbye strange it's been nice, Hope you find your paradise..)

Give A little Bit (Give a little bit, Give a little bit of your love to me...)

Take The Long Way Home (So you think you're a Romeo playing a part in a picture-show, Take the long way home...)

Mark

Ah, it was Give A Little Bit I was hearing lol!
They were OK. I never owned any of their albums though (or 10cc LoA ;) )
Come to think of it, I never owned any ARS albums either.
We always bought the harder stuff when it came to putting money out for music...Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, Lynnard Slynnard, Black Sabbath, etc. I think the softest album we ever bought was Peter Frampton's Live album. [img]smile.gif[/img] No, my sister had some Bread and Eagles albums now that I think about it...basically my siblings and I (with the exception of that sister) could only buy albums that wouldn't offend everyone else in the house if we were going to listen to them and the hard rock was all we had in common LOL

EDIT: even though we all liked The Rolling Stones, mom refused to allow us to own anything they did while we lived under her roof.

Gee who the heck is Hugh Wilson? [img]smile.gif[/img] Oh yea hes Ozzys brother I forgot!

I do like Blind guardian and Bathory,
But also Stuff like Steeleye span.
Hmmmmmmm. Yes indeed.

EDIT: Oh yeah SKA....um I think like No Doubt would be a form of ska. Correct me if I am wrong someone!</font>[/QUOTE]Ummm - No Doubt?? Well barely ;)

Ska is music originating from Jamaica in the 60s - it's the predecessor of reggae. Think of uptempo reggae with a prominent horn section. It was predominantly played on sound systems in the streets rather than live performance.
Brought to Britain by Jamaican immigrants in the 60s, and became quite popular here then. What the original skinheads listened to.

It went through another bout of popularity in the late '70s and early '80s, and a new wave of British mixed white/black bands formed and recorded on the 2-Tone label, incorporated a more punk sound and were often quite political.

I suppose if No Doubt is in any way ska it is 3rd wave - very diluted from its roots, as is a lot of ska/punk these days. Not to say I don't like it, but a lot has been lost imo.

I know, a new topic! "What Music DONT you really like?" [img]tongue.gif[/img] hehe.

Mm well I like quite a lot of music but mostly old rock and progresive and some psycodelic such as:

Led Zeppelin
ACDC
T.Rex

Deep Purple
Cream
The Moody Blues
Muddy Waters
Blue Oyster Cult
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Hawkwind
Uriah Heep
Girlschool

Thanks Epona!
I knew it was associated with reggae but at that moment, I could not pull up the words reggae or Jamaica and thought it was a slightly different sound but didn't know how to go about explaining it without its foundation (I think I mentioned somewhere recently that brain damage makes some of my days really fun lol). I really appreciate your taking the time to type it all out! Thanks again! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

Well, I enjoy rock and stuff like Tool, Disturbed, Moonspell, then on to some harder stuff like Mushroomhead, Mudvayne, Slipknot, Stone Sour, but what I love the most is hardcore such as Poison The Well, Evergreen Terrace(local band), At The Drive In, Nora, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Hatebreed, From Autumn To Ashes, Hopesfall, so on and so forth.

I cant understand that you like Jimi Hendrix Melkor that music from him is terrible i think! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Since I went to high school and college in the 80's, 80's Pop/Rock is still my favorite. During the 90's, even though I did not like Country music, I found myself enjoying it and now I find that it is what I listen to must of the time.

Hi there Alaric i to like contry not Garth Brooks but bluegrass it is great i think! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Country is almost as bad as rap! YUCK!!!!! Oh Megabot, Jimi Hendrix was a pretty good guitarplayer and his music was cool to listen to, its even better if you are stoned or so I hear.

LOL yeah i have heard that to Melkor i have two records here with him but i cant say i like it!! Nah modern contry is great i think! :D
Yes he was one of the best guitarplayers in the world they say after Chuck Attkinds (sp?) or what his name are.

[ 09-14-2002, 11:28 PM: Message edited by: Megabot ]

Classical ~ Debussy, Ravel, Rimsky-Korsakov, Richard Strauss, Vaughan Williams.

New Age ~ Kitaro, Cusco, Himekami.

Traditional Chinese ~ Pipa and guzheng solos.

Okay this just burns. Why all the replies to this guy's thread when I post the exact same thing not one month ago and struggled to aquire just 20 odd replies?

P.S. I like mostly Christian music (ska, rap, r&b, celtic rock, latin rock, alternative, some punk, not much metal, etc. on and on the list goes where it will end nobody knows.)

I cant remember your topic about this i only listen to some wery cool music and i come up with this post nothing else here so if you are mad or something then cool down this is a place we dont fight or are rude about anyone here so cool it! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

[ 09-15-2002, 12:41 AM: Message edited by: Megabot ]

Megabot who said I was mad. I'm just wondering why he got all the posts and I didn't. I'm just mildly confused.

LOL i dont knove why so many peoples reply here maby they like music as i do and it sounded that you was i little mad here Firestormalpha but that is the way it is so come on dont be sad or something because of your post did not get more than 20 replyes! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

[ 09-15-2002, 01:16 AM: Message edited by: Megabot ]

The *good* kind. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I feel like I replied to this a week ago, and a week before that, and all the weeks before that. It's like a plague, and normally I just copy/paste my answer from the most recent time I answered it.
Maybe I should just build some sort of device to post the same story over and over again whenever a question about 'favourite music' is asked... ;) </font>[/QUOTE]So if it is so terrible for you why do you replay here anyway Groj? I cant remeber so many of those as you say!

LOL remember "Breakfast in America" Moni? And they is also one of my favorites god they are good!!

Mainly because Megabot replies to most of the posts made in this thread, thus making 'conversation' and keeping the post count up. In your thread if I recall I think you were just looking for people's fav music and expected them to just post it and leave it at that. People contribute more when you make an effort to 'inlcude' them in conversations. You have to reply to people's comments (even if you don't agree/think they're stupid) if you want people to keep posting.

KMFDM
KoRn
Disturbed
SlipKnot
Metallica (old)
Sepultura (old)
Sevendust
Pantera
Bauhaus
Ramstein
etc, etc, etc.

oh, and alot of classical too!!

Actually prefer 4 part harmonies such as Boyz II Men, myself...

And who is Boyz II Men anyway Kormar? I cant remeber see them on MTV!

My God! Another Alanis Morisette fan? Nessy, you're too like me for comfort....

"Take a look at my girlfriend (girlfriend)
She's the only one I got!
Not much of a girlfriend (girlfriend)
Never seem to get alot!"

That one? ;) Funny how I haven't heard these songs in (omg could it really be) (well) over twenty years but I can still hear them like they had just played.
Kinda scary LOL!

I'd feel kind of burned too.
I don't think anyone meant to ignore it purposely though and I know you were participating in trying to keep it alive.
I dunno! This must just be one of those weeks where posting in a music thread seems to be something to do!

the best way to explain it (coming from me at least LOL) would be to quote a person who has colored text in their post and see how they do it.

Its an html tag < font color=whatever color or color code > to start and < /font > to stop.
Just no spaces after or before the < >'s.

Megabot I think the guitarist you are talking about is either Chet Atkins or Chuck Berry.

Oookkaayy

Rush - Neil Pert is THE best drummer the past 20 yrs
Metallica
Faith Hill
Enya
Shania

As you can see, I'm very hard to pin down musicaly. Depends on the mood I'm in.

And today I am in heaven - my mum dug out her pile of old 45s (for the IW youngsters, a '45' is a round vinyl disk with a groove etched into it that used to be used to play music, I realise this is a bit antique for some of today's youth [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) so I quickly kidnapped them all and locked myself in my room!

Had a great afternoon playing her records, just like I used to when I was a kid (they were my introduction to music and have influenced my taste considerably). The Who, The Kinks, The Pretty Things, Georgie Fame, The Yardbirds, The Spencer Davies Group, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Manfred Mann, The Troggs, and loads loads more! Have been in musical ecstasy. Some of them are a bit beat up (and one 'Pretty Things' single looks like it had an accident with a cigarette, fortunately only on the lead-in, the track itself has escaped unscathed) but most sound pretty good still!

That's awesome Epona!
[img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] :D

All of ours were melted in a house fire in 1972

I have my dad's entire vinel collection at my fingertips. One day I will actually get to listen to the Blizzard of Ozz on the old turntable.
