Mathcores weird (and good), but I perfer the weirder technical Jazz fusion Death Metal.Quote:
Anyone ever listened to mathcore? Now that is some seriously weird stuff.
I mainly listen to black, and progressive metal. Its the most creative, original and expressive music I can find.
Nope. All real music styles. :yes:Quote:

The distinctions are artificial though. I mean, each band could be it's own genre if you subdivide enough.Quote:

They did the Conan show in April, for the second time. He's being touted as "the prince of Americana," his style being popish folksy countryish rock (heh). Not normally a favorite genre of mine, but I like his stuff. He's travelling a tough road, off the beaten path of today's popular music.
I'm away from "home" now, and perhaps that's why the lyrics from one of the songs in particular appealed to me. It's titled "Shaken," and you can listen to it here if you want (load the site and it will start playing, followed by other tunes from his current album, Giving Up the Ghost). The part about friends also hits home. I miss Cali, and my so-called friends.
I was blue and walking down K Street Mall alone late at night back in 2003, just before I was forced to leave the old digs. I heard this music coming from a bar, and it was good. I stopped and listened outside, peering in through the window. The singer/guitarist was practically a kid, but he obviously has an "old soul." I was moved by what I heard; not much could move this heavy old stone at that time. Then, he was just another dream kitten scratching by; now, he's on the verge.
He's also fronting Phil Lesh's tribute to the Grateful Dead now. Curious to know what people here think about him. Probably not much, but he might appeal to a few. I find his stuff to be pretty real.
Sometimes. Not very often though.Quote:

My two favorites are Festive Overture by Shostakovich

That list isn't very accurate though. Led Zep is totally different from the rolling stones. Here's a more accurate version:Quote:

etc...
The only purpose of genre is so you can describe a band or a song to someone else, and that's only useful on a large scale (country, classical, rock, hip-hop).
I've spent too much time trapped in cars with people arguing about what kind of "metal" metallica is as opposed to slayer or some such nonsense...if you've heard a song by the band the genre is immaterial. Pet peeve of mine :wall:
I need to change my vote to drum and base after discovering pendulum :beam:
Queens of the Stone Age - Misfit Love is my favorite song......I don´t know what you´d call QOTSA....Alternative Rock? Stoner Rock?
you've only just discovered them? i can send u there album on msn if u like, or did i already?Quote:
