Muzak Thread Redux
Do you think I'd listen to music just because it's not popular? There are plenty of small-time bands that I dislike. (Also, if I were emo, all I'd do is listen to horrible bands anyway.) The reason I put popular tags in there was because I generally prefer pointing out bands that people haven't heard of, but those bands are so good that they deserve mentioning anyway.Nuky wrote:I gotta say I love anything from Carbon Based Lifeforms to Hallucinogen to Dream Theater to Asura to Nuky to anything that's not on the pop scene today.
(Also, wormguy, how emo of you. Judging groups and bands and projects by their inpopularity is just as bad as listening to stuff just cause it's popular. Listen to what YOU like. [although it's nice of you to support those scenes. And you got some nice ones in your list =D])
I definitely don't judge bands by their popularity, hence liking the Chili Peppers and Cake (I should add Incubus to the list as well. Incubus ROCKS). I just find that when some bands get popular, they become too concerned with pleasing the crowd and lose what made them fun to listen to in the first place. Case in point: Green Day.
Want to know one of the reasons I love Radiohead? Each of their albums has a completely different feel. I can tell Amnesiac from Kid A just by the style of the music. The Chili Peppers are quite adept at this as well. But when bands just rehash their style into similar songs, it gets repetitive and annoying to listen to. (My Chemical Romance, anyone?)
Anyway, I have discovered that F-Zero GX's soundtrack rocks. Kudos to Hidenori Shoji.

Yes, I understand. Just wanted to point out that ^
I also agree about how bands who gains some popularity changes to get even more. Too many of them changes for the worse and ends up failing.

I just finished downloading every song ever recorded by porcupine tree. Really good stuff, but it's almost absurd how trippy it is a lot of the time. They put the Psyche in psychedelic. It doesn't say on that list since I just got into them, but on the electronic side of things, I'm really into infected mushrooms. Good stuff. One of the better psy-trance acts I've heard.Crill3 wrote:Lemme just give a huge thanks for Albab for indirectly introducing me
(in the old thread) to Porcupine Tree, because now it has become one of my favourite bands, especially since I got the DVD and saw them live
Right now, I listen mostly to PT, Meshuggah and some Deftones.
The Killers are awesome. Hard fact.Zantalos wrote:I like The Killers, there's nothing wrong with that is there? They're not like Coldplay or anything?
I don't like all their songs (I'm sick of Somebody Told Me now), but Sam's Town and When You Were Young are really cool, for now at least.
Sam's Town wasn't as much fun to listen to as their first album, but I still love the Killers.
Also, Franz Ferdinand.

Blam.
Do I win? Wait... Yeah, that was stupid. I think I loose. I'm trying to think of a way to put this higher than where it is now, but make it so you read the other thing first. ...Yeah, yeah. No.
Edit: Sweet mother of peas, this here is my 666th post. Halleluje-whatever.
