PalmettoTiger 1 #1 June 8, 2001 Attention all Addicts, Old Hands, Enthusiasts, Newbies, and ()s . In order to satisfy Emma's insatiable need for controversy, let's have it out right now. What specific songs and bands suck hairy goat balls and why?I nominate anything by Lincoln Park as Least Deserving of Airtime. If you have to scream, fine. But please, don't scream at the microphone. And yes, I know plenty of good songs include screaming. But when the only vocal aptitude you exhibit is the "Drunk Wifebeater On A Rampage" style, take it somewhere else!!And that fusking Britney Spears Pepsi Ad!!!!!!!!!! I listen to a ROCK station so that I don't have to listen to that plastic overproduced bimbo. And Pepsi not only has the gall to intimate that their products make her shed her clothing, but they decide it's such a popular image that the fusking SOUNDTRACK for the commercial has to be played on every radio station in America! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I can't even find refuge on NPR - it's fundraising week next week!!Blues, squares,PTiger*insert witty sig here* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cacophony 0 #2 June 8, 2001 I am with you on all of that. There is so much stuff that sucks. I personally dislike almost all of the popular stuff. Of course there are a few exceptions but it is the easiest way to define what I listen to.Safe landings,Alex D-23912 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GeekStreak 0 #8 June 8, 2001 I'm flexible on music. I like lots of variety but I HATE GANGSTA RAP CRAP AND ALL THE BUTTHEADS THAT FEEL THE NEED TO SHARE IT WITH EVERYONE WITHIN RANGE OF THEIR SUBWOOFER!Whew! I feel better now PT.1111,GeekStreak Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cacophony 0 #9 June 8, 2001 I agree Jtval. I enjoy a lot of technical stuff. You ever heard Dream Theater? They are about as technical as they get. Thats not just the only cool thing about them either. They write some awesome songs! I encourage everyone to check 'em out. They have a very diverse style. Just about everyone can find a song that they like by them, except for country or rap. Of course there are a bunch of other great bands out there. Cacophony being a very technical band that is great. There music isn't to diverse though. I just have a certain group that I love.Safe landings,Alex D-23912 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gus 1 #10 June 8, 2001 My Mumma says that all music is the work of the devil and anyone who listens to it should be taken to their local priest for an immidiate exorcism. And then burnt at the stake until they die.Gus"If a man hasn't found something to die for, he isn't fit to live"Dr Martin Luther King Jr. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Iflyme 0 #12 June 8, 2001 I'm with GeekStreak - blow up the clowns who blast that rap shit outta their transports. Personally, I can't stand techno/rap/hip hop... When my 6 year old daughter starts humming/singing, it's often Beatles songs. Now THAT'S good taste! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeekStreak 0 #13 June 8, 2001 What I really like is ANY BLUES! Blues is the sexiest music there is. My honey can't listen to it without wanting to lap-dance me , oh, and it sounds good too .1111,GeekStreak Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DZBone 0 #14 June 8, 2001 Music just sucks in general. I just listen to a single electronically-generated tone played at full volume for several hours. For variety, I may adjust the volume a bit, or change from one tone to another half way through.Ahhhh, that's nice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HotLoad 0 #15 June 8, 2001 I personally enjoy any and all derivatives of jazz, as well as the blues and rock from the old to the new. I will add that most of the music played on the airwaves these days makes me nauseous. And what the f@#$k is up with this raver techno rap? Look at me, I chowed seven different kinds of pills, and am so wrecked that I keep a pacifier in my mouth. And the glow sticks, those annoying as all hell glow sticks. Stevie Ray, John Lee Hooker, Allman Brothers, Ben Harper, oh yeah, and Tool seem to get my motor running. Anyone in here who likes funk needs to check out Galactic.

DZBone 0 #16 June 8, 2001 Seriously, Trance is actually quite good for at least one thing, putting you in trance!I listen to it at work when I need to concentrate, like when pounding out large sections of code. For some reason this type of music quiets the part of the mind that chatters while you are trying to concentrate.I used to bitch at co-workers who played "music with words" when I was trying to work, because it had the opposite effect. Of course, they always complained about the "music that sounded like it was skipping".It's some kind of left/right brain thing. Other types of work don't benefit, or ar harder to do in a trance. I haven't really figured it all out yet. I go with what seems to be working.Carl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skybytch 259 #17 June 8, 2001 I can't stand "cool jazz", "gangsta rap", all those whiney boy bands, Britney Spears and newer country (older country - Willie, Waylon, Charlie Daniels, etc - is cool with me though).I like techno, trance, industrial, alternative, "classic rock", new wave (early '80's), some blues, some metal (most of the '80's hair bands are kewl), some punk (Blink182, Yellowcard, X, etc.), and some bands you've probably never heard of (like The Beat Farmers, Timbuk 3 & Masters of Reality).pull and flare,lisa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedRacer 1 #18 June 8, 2001 I like really REALLY old music! I'm talking caveman jam sessions around the campfire when everyone's likkered up. This usually means beating a stick against a log, or banging two rocks together. Now THAT'S classic rock!!Y'all should try it some time. Git likkered up & pretend you've all just killed a mammoth together & then JAM!!!Ugh. Grunt.(sorry, i get like this on friday afternoons)Speed Racer"De plaene!! De plaene!!"

Cacophony 0 #19 June 8, 2001 Big hair bands rock!! Sure, most of their songs might suck, but they usually have a couple of really good songs. They look pretty cool also. I used to have really long hair. Too bad it was straight.Safe landings,Alex D-23912 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the ones on there are getting stale (witty though they may be). So if HH (or whoever picks that stuff) is looking, I nominate DZBone's post!!Blues, Squares,PTiger*insert sub-100 character sig here* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PalmettoTiger 1 #21 June 8, 2001 Jtval and the other blues lovers hit the nail on the head. I tend to listen to the music more than the words, and blues is the only music that can convey pure emotion so well. I also love classic rock - Fogerty, Sabbath, Deep Purple (Highway Star is the greatest driving song ever!!), Zep, etc. But I think that's more for the true rockness of it; there are some newer bands that I'll listen to, e.g. Eve 6 or Firewater, that can kick ass and get my blood going.Blues, Squares,PTiger*insert sub-100 character sig here* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
