| #1baneofelvesMar 12, 2009 22:49:43 | I'm trying to find some new bands with good music to broaden the stuff I listen to. Any reccomendations are welcome! |
| #2dirtyfrankMar 12, 2009 22:58:03 | Here are a few just off the top of my head: The Beatles The Doors The Who Fleetwood Mac Jimi Hendrix Jefferson Airplane Jefferson Starship Lynyrd Skynyrd Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) Led Zeppelin Pink Floyd Queen Tom Petty Bob Seger The Monkeys Van Halen Eagles |
| #3pigknightMar 12, 2009 22:58:52 | Stratovarius Bad Religion Staind Rhapsody (of Fire) |
| #4baneofelvesMar 12, 2009 23:08:48 | thanks guys! Specifically for Stratovarious and The Monkeys! (used to listen to them [the monkeys] all the time when I was little. Gotta start again) |
| #5pigknightMar 12, 2009 23:13:30 | I have a huge collection of vids in my fav. I plan on getting them on my MySpace soon. (YouTube "Anthem of the World", "Just Carry On" and "Destiny"). |
| #6baneofelvesMar 12, 2009 23:15:51 | Destiny is a good one. Listen to it on my Ipod all the time. I'm finally listening to Hey Hey We're The Monkeys for the first time in like, eight years. The song is even better than I remember. ![]() |
| #7pigknightMar 12, 2009 23:17:43 | Destiny (I use as Dormir Nightmare form's theme song) and Anthem of the World (which I use as The God That Never Was's theme song) have intros that go on and on and on... |
| #8Dark_StrykeMar 12, 2009 23:20:04 | Well, if you want things in the same vein as Stratovarius, may I suggest: Blind Guardian Dragon Force Sonata Arctica Hammerfall Lost Horizon Luca Turilli (of Rhapsody fame) Demons and Wizards (side project of Blind Guardian and Iced Earth) If you're looking for random stuff: Jonathan Coulton. Seriously. His music is hilarious and awesome. |
| #9boj0Mar 12, 2009 23:20:15 | Red Hot Chili Peppers Stone Temple Pilots Alice in Chains Soundgarden/Audioslave Gorillaz Queens of the Stone Age Foo Fighters Korn Metallica AC/DC Green Day |

| #16RUMPLESTIXMar 12, 2009 23:25:04 | Black Flag |
| #17crossroads_wandererMar 12, 2009 23:26:11 | Kansas and Boston are pretty good too. |
| #18dirtyfrankMar 12, 2009 23:27:33 | U2 (look at their early stuff) Foreigner |
| #19boj0Mar 12, 2009 23:28:28 | U2 (look at their early stuff) I have to say that U2 is the most overrated band in existance |
| #20baneofelvesMar 12, 2009 23:29:22 | Hey, thanks everyone! :D Got lots of music to listen to online now... |
| #21RUMPLESTIXMar 12, 2009 23:29:49 | Is this just bands or solo artists also? |
| #22dirtyfrankMar 12, 2009 23:29:51 | I have to say that U2 is the most overrated band in existance They are extremely overrated. Some of their early stuff is good but all their more recent stuff all sucks. I have no clue why anybody still likes them. |
| #23dirtyfrankMar 12, 2009 23:59:12 | Rush |
| #24toastedamphibianMar 13, 2009 0:02:28 | Jonathan Coulton. Seriously. His music is hilarious and awesome. +10 "I'm so into you But im way to smart for you even my henchmen think im crazy I'm not surprised that you agree But if you could find some way to be a little bit less afraid of me youd see the voices that controll me tell me I shouldnt kill you yet, I shouldnt kill you yet," |
| #25midnitepoisonMar 13, 2009 1:01:34 | flogging molly. theyre awesome. |
| #26Dark_StrykeMar 13, 2009 1:06:04 | flogging molly. theyre awesome. Agreed. I'm not big into them or anything, but they're pretty good. |
| #27boj0Mar 13, 2009 2:55:04 | Drunken Lullabies is one of my favorite songs of all time |
| #28awesome_dudeMar 13, 2009 4:39:04 | Nine Inch Nails Faith No More Mr. Bungle The Cure My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult If you listen to pop or hip hop, you can never go wrong with Justin Timberlake or Timbaland. Good elecronica artists include Gary Numan and Delerium. |
| #29ADHadhMar 13, 2009 5:20:43 | GUNS N' F****ING ROSES PEOPLE! |
| #30awesome_dudeMar 13, 2009 5:51:39 | GUNS N' F****ING ROSES PEOPLE! You mean Axl Rose and Band. |
| #31ArmisaelMar 13, 2009 6:40:00 | No, he means Guns 'n Roses. See, there's two similar bands: one of them is named Guns 'N Roses and produced albums like Appetite for Destruction and Use Your Illusion, and the other one is named G'n'R and created Chinese Democracy, a very different, yet very good album. They're two different groups. Now, on some good stuff... A) The Kinks. Get Arthur, it's unbelievable. B) David Bowie. Ziggy Stardust is one of the best albums ever, and the title track's just unbelievable. C) Meat Loaf. While he's THE guy to call if you need someone to say DID SOMEBODY ORDER...A LARGE HAM?, his album Bat Out Of Hell rocks really hard. D) Frank Zappa. Hot Rats and Chunga's Revenge are made of comedic win. E) Jethro Tull. Especiall Thick As A Brick or Aqualung, as the first one is how to make a 40-minute track that doesn't suck. F) Kraftwerk. They launched a whole genre, and you owe them a listen. G) U2. Ignore the studio albums, but do yourself a favor and get Rattle and Hum. It's up there with Live After Death and Live At Leeds for best live album, and the studio tracks are incredibly powerful pieces of music. H) The Who. Tommy and Who's Next are mandatory, and Who Are You and Quadrophenia are little jewels in Rock and Roll's crown. Not to mention Live at Leeds, which won them the title of best Live band ever. I) B. B. King. He's not just a blues legend, he IS Blues. J) Chuck Berry. He created Rock 'n Roll. 'Nuff said. K) Velvet Revolver. At least, get Fall To Pieces. It'll make you cry, because it's Slash pulling a riff that is absolutely sweet. L) Extreme. The name says it all. Nuno Bettencourt shreds fast and HARD. M) Ayreon. I'm a total sucker for Ayreon, but Arjen Anthony Lucassen's extremely varied approach to music is incredible. Just listen to Amazing Flight (Yes, that's funk, folk, and space rock. Play that funky music white boy!), then My House On Mars, and then Chaos/Dawn of a Million Souls, and realize it's the same guy helming those vocalists (he sings the "Hey dude, you're so uncool..." chorus on the first song). The mind boggles at such diversity. |
| #32Cpt_MichaMar 13, 2009 8:28:16 | I'm trying to find some new bands with good music to broaden the stuff I listen to. Any reccomendations are welcome! Bob Segar Lita Ford Jimmy Buffet Creedence Clearwater Revival Ozzy Osborne Rob Zombie Billy Joel Billy Squire ZZtop Van Halen The Wallflowers Led Zeppelin Shania Twain (No I don't understand why I like her songs either... though she is smoking hot) Mariah Carey used to be good Lacuna Coil The Doors Pink Floyd Lennard Skynnard Frank Zappa Heart Rush Queen Bruce Springsteen Bon Jovi Stevie Ray Vaughn Fleetwood Mac Poison Sammy Hagar The Eagles Kansas YES Phil Collins Genesis Byran Adams has a few good songs Tesla Asia Reo Speedwagon Meat Loaf there's others too but that's what's coming to me at the moment. Most of this is classic and or 80s rock. Some of it like The Eagles, and of course Skynnard is Southern Rock, and Shania Twain is country. |
| #33zombie_babiesMar 13, 2009 8:34:31 | Acumen Nation Fear Factory Soulfly Celldweller Stabbing Westward (earlier stuff only. anything after Darkest Days blows) The Dreaming Panic Lift God Lives Underwater David Reilly DJ?Accucrack Monster Magnet Down Mushroomhead The above range from true metal to industrial metal to hard rock to stoner/southern metal to EBM to dark D&B to rock to synth rock to ... ;) I've posted some in the "Now Playing" thread. The below are some quality DJs: Kimball Collins Sandra Collins (no relation) Paul Van Dyk Tiesto Sasha Digweed Jimmy Van M Soulslinger AK1200 Micro Christopher Lawrence Deviant Of the above, I've seen all but Tiesto and Kimball live. And they're all quite good. |
| #34awesome_dudeMar 13, 2009 8:43:23 | Paul Van Dyk is teh secks. |
| #35handofdarknessMar 13, 2009 9:24:15 | Satyricon is pretty awesome |
| #36minja_dupMar 13, 2009 11:13:54 | Hmmm some good pretty exhaustive lists here.... ![]() Old Skool stuff.... KMFDM Ministry Nine Inch Nails My Life with The Thrill Kill Kult Dead Milkmen The Jesus and Mary Chain oh yeah... and The Dropkick Murphies !!!! ... and then, my personal favorite angry girl bands... Velocity Girl L7 The Muffs Zuzus Petals |
| #37Cpt_MichaMar 13, 2009 11:58:50 | Minja the only one I heard of in your list is Nine Inch Nails. |
| #38zombie_babiesMar 13, 2009 12:00:48 | Minja the only one I heard of in your list is Nine Inch Nails. Wow. Where the **** do you live, man? Under a rock buried somewhere below the depths of the Earth's ****hole? KMFDM? NIN? Really? Poor bastard ... :P |
| #39Cpt_MichaMar 13, 2009 12:03:25 | Wow. Where the **** do you live, man? Under a rock buried somewhere below the depths of the Earth's ****hole? KMFDM? NIN? Really? Poor bastard ... :P Nope just western North Carolina. |
| #40RUMPLESTIXMar 13, 2009 12:05:14 |
I feel for your tragedy. |
| #41Cpt_MichaMar 13, 2009 12:07:25 | I feel for your tragedy. Why is it a tragedy? I don't like Death Metal, I like vocal talent actually being a requirement for a band ;) (I'm assuming those bands are all Death Metal?) |
| #42gerrard_mac_douglasMar 13, 2009 12:07:35 | thinks of ipod: cannibal corpse suffocation fugazi zao converge death threat hatebreed pedro the lion / headphones / david bazan **** **** << haha- they censored this one nirvana |
| #43gerrard_mac_douglasMar 13, 2009 12:17:53 | Why is it a tragedy? i dont intend to be argumentive, but in death metal, grindcore, hardcore, black metal - there is a huge level of vocal talent that is talent. its just a different style then what you prefer. to be able to tour show after show, if you dont actually know what youre doing as a singer - you can wreck your voice. of my list i just posted, id recommend pedro the lion and fugazi - theyre amazing and excellent and actually sing - not growl |
| #44zombie_babiesMar 13, 2009 12:18:26 |
Isn't that what I said? :P I don't like Death Metal, I like vocal talent actually being a requirement for a band ;) Actually, nothing on Minja's list is even regular old heavy metal. None of them remotely approach death metal. There's some industrial, ol' school idustrial and some rock from what I can gather. Death metal is like Cannibal Corpse, Morbid Angel, Deicide, Napalm Death (my god, am I showing my age? :D), etc. |
| #45zombie_babiesMar 13, 2009 12:20:13 | **** **** << haha- they censored this one Lemme guess. First word begins with "A". Second with "C". ;) |
| #46Cpt_MichaMar 13, 2009 12:21:17 | i dont intend to be argumentive, but in death metal, grindcore, hardcore, black metal - there is a huge level of vocal talent that is talent. its just a different style then what you prefer. That's just vocal chord endurance *L* Being skilled at screaming doesn't constitute singing talent. :D |
| #47zombie_babiesMar 13, 2009 12:23:16 | That's just vocal chord endurance *L* Being skilled at screaming doesn't constitute singing talent. :D Believe it or not, this is one of those things that seems incredibly easy until you actually try it. Like rap. For reals. Much tougher than it sounds. Odd, but true. |
| #48Cpt_MichaMar 13, 2009 13:23:04 | Believe it or not, this is one of those things that seems incredibly easy until you actually try it. Like rap. For reals. Much tougher than it sounds. Odd, but true. I can rap better than .5 cent Remember with modern rap it doesn't even have to follow a beat, nor rhyme. Besides I've screamed at something for more than half an hour straight before. Death Metal can't be that hard. |
| #49baneofelvesMar 13, 2009 13:30:34 | 50 cent sucks. I only like a few rappers. Eminem D-12 Dr. Dre Wierd Al Yankovich (yes, he has done rap) Insane Clown Posse Death Metal is awesome. You're just a redneck. In Flames is an awesome band, and if you disagree with me, you are teh suxx0rz. |
| #50Cpt_MichaMar 13, 2009 13:34:08 | Hey leave my sunburnt neck out of this. |
| #51minja_dupMar 13, 2009 13:42:31 | Minja the only one I heard of in your list is Nine Inch Nails. Really? Wow... I feel for you. I listen to just about everything but country, and I will give most music a try at least once. Lucky for me my dad had a huge CD collection that started when he as a college DJ. He has some REALLY obscure stuff. ![]() But anyway as I listed them, in genre... Industrial (techno dance music with a metal edge) Nine Inch Nails Ministry KMFDM My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult ...you could also add... Butthole Surfers Skinny Puppy Rammstein I could dance all night to Ministry's "Jesus Built My Hotrod", or KMFDM's "Juke Joint Jezebel", or Butthole Surfers "Who Was in My Room Lastnight". Punk Girls (girl bands, and angry girls at that) The Muffs Velocity Girl Zuzu's Petals L7 (kinda) Punk Boys Dead Milkmen Dropkick Murphys (revered in Boston) ...I also LOVE The Pixies...(boys and girls band) Alternative The Jesus and Mary Chain No death metal here.... not really my thing.... |
| #52baneofelvesMar 13, 2009 13:45:36 | KMFDM rocks. Anyways, Micha. Listen to some of In Flames' music. You will not regret it. Some good albums by them. Clayman Colony Come Clarity In Flames Lunar Strain The Jester Race Reroute to Remain Soundtrack to Your Escape Subterranian Whoracle |
| #53Cpt_MichaMar 13, 2009 13:46:27 | Heard of Rammstein and Butthole Surfers. I have an odd relationship with Punk sometimes I like it and sometimes I can't stand it. |
| #54ArmisaelMar 13, 2009 13:51:17 | I am OFFENDED, sir, by you NOT knowing about the Murphies. Just listen to the sweet awesome of I'm Shipping Up To Boston and go buy all of their catalogue. Also, Earth Wind and Fire and James Brown. How did we miss these again? Listening to the funky Shooting Star, then Get Up (I feel like being a) Sex Machine Pt. 1. 'Cause you can NEVER have enough funk. Also, Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine. It's lounge versions of rock 'n metal. How could you NOT like it? Edit: Also, needs more Soundgarden and Temple of the Dog. Chris Cornell was AWESOME before he started sucking and broke up Soundgarden. |
| #55Cpt_MichaMar 13, 2009 14:00:56 | my computer has no audio. so I can't sample this stuff right now. |
| #56zombie_babiesMar 13, 2009 14:04:36 | Ooh! Lookin' through my CDs for some Monster Magnet to listen to and remembered another awesome band for Presto to check out! Acid Bath. They friggin' pwn. Here's a sample of their awesomeness: Scream of the Butterfly. |
| #57crossroads_wandererMar 13, 2009 14:06:26 | The Wallflowers Awesome. |
| #58baneofelvesMar 13, 2009 14:06:47 | Does anyone else here listen to The Kovenant and Deathstars? Those are some good bands. I think that The Kovenant sucked in their album Animatronic and In Times Before the Light, but got better with Nexus Polaris and Seti. |
| #59Cpt_MichaMar 13, 2009 14:15:37 | Awesome. Glad someone looked at my list! ![]() |
| #60minja_dupMar 13, 2009 14:28:27 | Adding to my list.... The White Stripes Powerman 5000 Garbage ....and as far as techno and dancing all night goes.... Fatboy Slim Wonderful Night Darude Sandstorm |
| #61baneofelvesMar 13, 2009 14:29:28 | Adding to my list.... Those bands rock. Powerman 5000 is WAAAY better than Rob Zombie. |
| #62ArmisaelMar 13, 2009 14:38:18 | More firewood for the fire... Stevie Ray Vaughan. His music was just wonderful. Steely Dan. I don't even know how to describe them, other than saying they're excellent. |
| #63ciaranMar 13, 2009 15:32:03 | Jag Panzer. Their Mechanized Warfare album is their best. Chris Broderick is an awesome guitarist. |
| #64dirtyfrankMar 13, 2009 16:46:21 | beastie boys kiss heart Let me pull out the old vinyl records. Ted Nugent Bee Gees Kool & the Gang Jimmy Buffet Doobie Brothers Dan Fogelberg Billy Joel Steely Dan The Alan Parsons Progect Little River Band Player Earth Wind & Fire The Byrds Steppenwolf Roger McGuinn Fraternity of Man The Electric Prunes The Holy Modal Rounders Commodores Journey Abba Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show Santana Barry White (I hella forgot that I had Led Zeppelin II on vinyl. :cool ![]() |
| #65crossroads_wandererMar 13, 2009 16:48:38 | Garbage :D I was trying to get a friend of mine to sing "The World is Not Enough" because her voice is so similar to that of the singer of Garbage. |
| #66RUMPLESTIXMar 13, 2009 23:28:57 | Why is it a tragedy? Why is it a tragedy? You did say you were in western North Carolina didn't you? :P |
| #67baneofelvesMar 13, 2009 23:36:26 | ![]() |
| #68dirtyfrankMar 13, 2009 23:55:08 | Ram Jam - Black Betty |
| #69baneofelvesMar 13, 2009 23:56:53 | I love that song. |
| #70ciaranMar 14, 2009 0:05:51 | Cpt Micha, your posts suggest that you think being a vocalist is easy. I'm sure singing along to the radio has proven your theory. |
| #71Reg06Mar 14, 2009 0:51:09 | baneofelves, if you like KMFDM and Powerman 5000 you'll love Ministry, and their twin-band Skinny Puppy (they make KMFDM look like little children, which they are). |
| #72baneofelvesMar 14, 2009 0:58:51 | Oh, I love Ministry. New World Order is an awesome song. My music tastes are the following Classical All metal (power, heavy, death, symphonic, ect) Techno Folk Music Rap Punk Rock Some 70's stuff Grunge fairly diverse, I think. |
| #73ciaranMar 14, 2009 1:04:16 | Skinny Puppy isn't for everyone. I say this respectfully. |
| #74Reg06Mar 14, 2009 1:13:45 | You need some country and blues. Kris Kristofferson (at least listen to Sunday Morning Coming Down) Johnny Cash (saw this one coming didn't you? God's Gonna Cut You Down ) Blues Traveler The Mountains Win Again Pete Seeger The Big Muddy (Admittedly he's more folk than country/blues) A couple punk bands you need to know Iggy Pop The Passenger (I'll bet you already knew Iggy and the Stooges, though) Patti Smith Break It Up (Patti Smith is known as the "god mother of punk" Then there's typical artists (which I won't check to see if they are named); The Clash (punk) Ramones (punk) Dead Kennedys (punk) Cheap Trick (American rock n' roll) Creedance Clearwater Revival (American rock n' roll) Cream (Try Tales of Brave Ulysses) Elvis Costello and the Attractions Watch Your Step |
| #75baneofelvesMar 14, 2009 1:15:58 | NO COUNTRY AND BLUES! NONONONONONONONONONONONONOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! I hate those styles of music. |
| #76dirtyfrankMar 14, 2009 1:17:12 | Then it's a good thing that Johnny Cash is rock. |
| #77baneofelvesMar 14, 2009 1:18:59 | What? Johnny Cash is rock? Please tell me that's a joke. I personally think that Johnny Cash is overrated. |
| #78crossroads_wandererMar 14, 2009 1:20:02 | He's sort of both rock and country. But to me, he's boring. |
| #79baneofelvesMar 14, 2009 1:22:38 | HIs stuff sounds like country to me. And I hate country. So whiny. I just dislike that style of music as a whole. |
| #80Reg06Mar 14, 2009 1:24:51 | What? Johnny Cash is rock? Please tell me that's a joke. I'll agree Johnny Cash is overrated. He is however, a rock n' roller as true as Keith Richards (okay, maybe not on the level of Keith, that man is a drug fueled lich). Cash had an influence on rock near as big as any other artist, and he indirectly helped birth heavy metal ("The Man in Black", he invented that image. He also influenced blues, the style of music that gave birth to bands like Black Sabbath and The Rolling Stones) And I hate country. So whiny. I just dislike that style of music as a whole. As opposed to "Cut the world open! Pain is barbwire life!" death metal? ![]() There is alot of awful country music, I'll give you that. But some of the best song writers, ever, write country (Kris Kristofferson and Johnny Cash come to mind). |
| #81crossroads_wandererMar 14, 2009 1:27:06 | He is however, a rock n' roller as true as Keith Richards (okay, maybe not on the level of Keith, that man is a drug fueled lich) ![]() Lich is the perfect word to describe what he looks like! |
| #82dirtyfrankMar 14, 2009 1:29:55 | Johnny Cash is awesome. end of story. |
| #83dirtyfrankMar 14, 2009 1:35:30 | A Boy Named Sue by Johnny Cash I'm not sure but I think this video was shot in Folsom Prison. Folsom Prison is near were I live for those that don't know much about geography. |
| #84Reg06Mar 14, 2009 1:37:27 |
Once he and Iggy Pop get together to from the Undead Evil League of Evil, we are all doomed (except maybe ZB). |
| #85ciaranMar 14, 2009 1:52:28 | Johnny did more than one prison concert. Folsom might have been the first, maybe not, but its the famous one. You can get the whole thing on CD. June Carter was there too. Can't even imagine the looks she got. |
| #86adelbert_megaphoniaMar 14, 2009 2:53:45 | Toadies--dark humor, clever lyrics, solid rock grooves. They Might Be Giants--I'm getting shot down for this one, probably, but if loving TMBG is wrong, I don't wanna be right. Kate Bush--you want a vocalist? Here you go. Go ahead, deny that "Lord of the Reedy River" gave you a chill the first time you heard it. Liar. Steely Dan--these guys are a great band: they have awesome jazz-rock melodies, clever lyrics, tons of irony, good instrumentation and composition, and they're both decent singers. Van Morrison--he's mainly blues/rock, but he incorporates Welsh and Irish melodies, too. He's also a great lyricist. Astral Weeks is probably one of the best albums ever made. Brian Setzer Orchestra--as far as rock goes, when it comes to arranging a piece, Brian Setzer is the best act in town. Not to mention that he plays a killer guitar. Primus--how come no one has mentioned Primus? These guys are hard to classify; some of their stuff is alternative, some rock, some metal. But they have great instruments, and some of their songs are hysterical. Jethro Tull--I've heard most of their work, and I don't think they ever had a bad album. Some of their stuff is a little heavy as far as subject matter, especially Aqualung and A Passion Play, but they're an awesome band. They're a rock band, but they use unconventional instrumentation, and the subjects they write about are all over the map--everything from the fairies to the plight of the common laborer. |
| #87sigil_beguilerMar 14, 2009 3:42:07 | I dunno what you think of the various electronic genres but I highly recommend: -VNV Nation: This is probably my #1 Band of all time. llusion by VNV Nation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pu-8wGbWMro (Not all their music is so heavy (in terms of content), but this is a very good piece of theirs) -Covenant Bullet by Covenant: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rg7HRcRvpxQ |
| #88Cpt_MichaMar 14, 2009 7:54:47 | Damn Yankees |
| #89cherubaddonMar 14, 2009 8:29:34 | My favourites are still missing, so here some recommendations from me: Since you like Nightwish, some bands in the same vein you might or might not like: Within Temptation Evanescence Epica Krypteria After Forever Ephemeral Xandria Aesma Daeva If you like Darkwave (and for ambience, you should): Arcana Dargaard Mortiis (only the first album) Ice Ages (with a colder, more industrial edge to it) And my all-time favourite (along Nightwish) is Devil Doll (there are two bands with that name. I mean the ones who made The Girl Who Was... Death). Pure Lovecraftian genius. |
| #90crofterMar 14, 2009 8:34:10 | Abba I had almost lost my hope with this thread. Other than ABBA, I recommend to listen to classical music. It's not really what you might be used to, but it is really good. And, it is far more varied than thought. |
| #91cherubaddonMar 14, 2009 8:37:40 | I recommend to listen to classical music. It's not really what you might be used to, but it is really good. And, it is far more varied than thought. True. Let me recommend Brahms, Bartok and Russian composers such as Tchaikowsky. Refreshing to those jaded by the always same Mozart-Bach-Beethoven-Vivaldi routine (not to imply them being bad, but you get bored of them after some time). |
| #92dirtyfrankMar 14, 2009 9:53:35 | Primus--how come no one has mentioned Primus? These guys are hard to classify; some of their stuff is alternative, some rock, some metal. But they have great instruments, and some of their songs are hysterical. I was getting to them. I was going to put them down once I remembered they existed, which is likely when I hear them on the radio. bane here is some of Primus' great stuff. Tommy The Cat by Primus My Name Is Mud by Primus Wynona's Big Brown Beaver by Primus Jerry Was A Race Car Driver by Primus |
| #93baneofelvesMar 14, 2009 14:16:17 | As opposed to "Cut the world open! Pain is barbwire life!" death metal? That's death metal for p******. I don't listen to songs with emo lyrics. |
| #94ArmisaelMar 14, 2009 14:45:53 | Yeah. THIS is good death metal metal (mixed with prog, just to make sure it's awesome). Prequel To The Sequel. Selkies, the endless obsession. Ants of the Sky, split into two. Also, I notice a distinct lack of foreign bands. Should I start listing bands whose vocalists' sing in foreign languages? |
| #95Dark_StrykeMar 14, 2009 15:46:41 | If you like folk stuff, Bane, how about folk rock? Check out Great Big Sea and Spirit of the West, two Canadian folk rock bands. Home for a Rest by Spirit of the West (and covered by Great Big Sea) is full of win. You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best. I've been gone for a month, I've been drunk since I left. And these so called vacations will soon be my death! I'm so sick from the drink, I need home for a rest. Take me home! |
| #96ArmisaelMar 14, 2009 15:57:41 | I don't get how Bane can like folk while not liking blues, you know. It seems weird, imagining someone who says that he likes Dylan's version of All Along The Watchtower without liking Hendrix's. |
| #97baneofelvesMar 14, 2009 16:07:44 | @ Stryke: Cool, I'll listen to it. Even thought they are damn dirty Canadians....(just kidding) @ Armisael: I know. Everyone I know thinks I'm crazy. I am very picky with my music. I generally dislike the blues, but there ARE some songs that I do like. Just not much. |
| #98ArmisaelMar 14, 2009 17:07:59 | Ah, well. Can't win 'em all. It's a pity, though, stuff like Killing Floor, Rude Mood, Voodoo Child, Machine Gun, or Make Sure My Grave Is Kept Clean are beautiful pieces. |
| #99baneofelvesMar 14, 2009 17:10:21 | Anyone else here think that Marilyn Manson and Megadeth rock? |
| #100Reg06Mar 14, 2009 17:30:54 | Nope. Funny story though, in high school my principal received a "death threat" letter from an anonymous student. I was pulled out of class and questioned for this because the administration heard I listened to Marilyn Manson. |
| #101ArmisaelMar 14, 2009 17:31:42 | Yes to Megadeth, maybe to Manson. If you only consider his music, yes, he's good. If you consider all of his showbiz persona, he deserves being lynched. Also, yet another song, this time one of my all-time favorites. Eiti Leda, by Serú Girán. It's in spanish, so you probably won't be able to make heads or tails of the lyrics, but the musicianship is just breathtaking (and the lyrics are so full of sadness they can bring tears to your eyes if you get what they mean). Here's the studio version, and here's a rather different live version, which is a lot more rockier. |
| #102baneofelvesMar 14, 2009 17:33:53 | Reg: are you serious? Wow. Armisael: I'm just talking about the music. I tend to ingore the stupid **** that artists do. I just enjoy the music, I don't CARE about the stuff they do. |
| #103Reg06Mar 14, 2009 18:41:31 | baneofelves; yeah. It was pretty shocking, and I wasn't really angry at the time, because I was too busy thinking "wow, this is completely ridiculous, how do people think like that?". |
| #104minja_dupMar 14, 2009 21:45:04 | They Might Be Giants--I'm getting shot down for this one, probably, but if loving TMBG is wrong, I don't wanna be right. One of the first songs to ever get stuck in my head to the point of insanity was Birdhouse in Your Soul. I loved that Tiny Toons Episode where they did the TMBG's videos. It was teh awesome. |
| #105dirtyfrankMar 15, 2009 1:16:28 | Not a band but great music. Here is an example: Love and Marriage by Frank Sinatra |
| #106Mad_JackMar 15, 2009 2:24:06 | Some of my personal favorites... Heart/Lovemongers - Especially their early work... Some of their stuff from the 70's and very early 80's is awesome. Blackmore's Night - Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple/Rainbow fame, they do updated versions of a lot of Rennaissance tunes... The original version of "Play Minstrel Play" has a flute solo by Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull Billy Joel Kris Kristofferson Siouxie and The Banshees Guns'N'Roses Harry Chapin Concrete Blonde Cowboy Junkies Billy Ray Cyrus Janis Joplin Gaelic Storm Susan McKeown Greatful Dead Queen Ozzy Ozbourne/Black Sabbbath Simon & Garfunkel Willy Nelson |
| #107That_Blasted_SomoflangeMar 15, 2009 10:44:17 | Well, since many of the bands on here I've heard about and listen to, I thought I'd recommend some bands that very few people might know about that I personally like: Abney Park Collusion 40 Sons and Daughters - Local Hamilton, Ontario (Canada) band. Deadly Nightshade Botanical Society Zombina and the Skeletones Leaves Eyes Some other bands you may have heard of: Disturbed Buckcherry Cradle of Filth Eagles of Death Metal - They are not a death metal band by the way. Lordi - kind of a cheesy metal, but in a fun way. AC/DC Beastie Boys Schubert, specifically Ave Maria The Animals Carl Orff - Carmina Burana specifically Fortuna Gordon Lightfoot - Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Pearl Jam - Specifically, Do the Evolution and their cover of Last Kiss Louis Armstrong Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine Rage Against the Machine Basically, I have a very wide selection of music I like and listen too. |
| #108zombie_babiesMar 16, 2009 8:50:57 | So many fools. "Johnny Cash is Rock, Johnny Cash is Country". Please. JC is Goth. The Man in Black. Cain't get much more goth than that. |
| #109dirtyfrankMar 16, 2009 9:01:49 | So many fools. "Johnny Cash is Rock, Johnny Cash is Country". Please. JC is Goth. The Man in Black. Cain't get much more goth than that. I think he may be emo. Has anybody heard his song "hurt"? ;) |
| #110zombie_babiesMar 16, 2009 9:26:19 | I think he may be emo. Has anybody heard his song "hurt"? ;) I had the CD. It came with a DVD of the vid, too. Then my dad stole it. Heh. |
| #111That_Blasted_SomoflangeMar 16, 2009 10:26:52 | I think he may be emo. Has anybody heard his song "hurt"? ;) You mean, his COVER of a Nine Inch Nails song? Yeah. I've heard it. It's good. In fact, I feel both versions portray a different meaning when sung by either artist. Trent Reznor's version is more angsty of course, but you can still hear the sadness in the voice. However, with Johnny Cash's cover, the pain is more readily available because he's wearing it on his face because of his age. I love how the medium of the message can affect the content of the message. |
| #112dirtyfrankMar 16, 2009 10:48:27 | I see that my comment went way over your head. I wasn't meaning it literally. I was meaning it as a joke in response to Z_B's joke. |
| #113zombie_babiesMar 16, 2009 11:56:25 | I see that my comment went way over your head. I wasn't meaning it literally. I was meaning it as a joke in response to Z_B's joke. Hey man, I wasn't jokin'. Johnny Cash is as goth as the day is long. |
| #114Reg06Mar 16, 2009 12:35:52 | Hey man, I wasn't jokin'. Johnny Cash is as goth as the day is long. I'm not gonna say he was a cutter or anything silly like that. But I heard he drank June Carter's blood. |
| #115zombie_babiesMar 16, 2009 12:38:40 | He was The Man in Black. What more evidence do ya'all need? ;) |
| #116rakeMar 16, 2009 13:37:02 | Good bands? I don't get it? Is this thread 3.5 or 4.0? ![]() Iron Bands of Bilarro is a pretty good one. |
| #117torynMar 16, 2009 15:41:51 | Here is a short list of some of my faves, covering a lot of genres and not in any particular order: Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) System of a Down (along with Serj's solo stuff, Empty Walls is a great song) Days of the New ( These guys grew up 30 miles from my house, and are very humble) Tantric (Used to have Matt Taul on drums formerly of Days of the New) Bob Seger The Doors Pink FLoyd George Thorogood and the Destroyers (i think I misspelled his name) Chuck Berry Johnny Cash (and I believe his attitude was a fore runner of some metal, besides he was a great artist, no matter what genre he was) Willie Nelson Hank Williams Sr. Charlie Daniels Lynyrd Skynyrd Beethoven Mozart Midnight Syndicate Staind (older stuff, before 14 shades of grey) Disturbed Ozzy Osborne Black Sabbath (without Ronny James Dio) Slipknot Stone Sour Black Stone Cherry (some are the sons of the Kentucky Headhunters) Mudvayne Linkin Park Eminem Tupac Snoop Dogg Bone Thugs n Harmony Wierd Al Yankovic Black Label Society (Zakk Wylde ftw) Amon Amarth In Flames Hatebreed Behemoth Cradle of Filth Walls of Jericho Opeth Otep Suicide Silence Kittie (an all female metal band, they are smokin' hot) Pantera (RIP Dimebag Darrell) John Denver Marily Manson (the stuff before the album with Personal Jesus) and the list goes on and on... |
| #118baneofelvesMar 16, 2009 17:25:26 | Good bands? Read the OP. This isn't D&D, it's music. |
| #119siroccoMar 17, 2009 4:58:08 | baneofelves you seem like a metal head like me so hear is what i listen to (including some hard rock and other stuff) Metallica (pre-load) Pantera Sepultura Tool Perfect Circle Red Hot Chilli Peppers Foo Fighters Slipknot Stone Sour Black Sabbath Filter God Smack God Smack oh .... and did i mention God Smack Rage Against the Machine AC/DC (their new one Black Ice ain't bad either unlike metallica who just spiral down) John Butler Trio (Australian band, not metal but i likey) Disturbed Incubus and i can't stress enough GOD SMACK |
| #120cherubaddonMar 17, 2009 10:13:21 | and i can't stress enough GOD SMACK I could play Prince of Persia: Warrior Within for hours on end for that kickass soundtrack alone (Stand Alone, if you're wondering). |
| #121rakeMar 17, 2009 10:29:24 | Read the OP. This isn't D&D, it's music. Ohhhhhhh, I get it. Then I change my vote to Countersong or Inspire Courage. But wait, I still don't know if this is 3.5 or 4.0. Aren't there new songs now? ![]() |
| #122siroccoMar 17, 2009 11:39:43 | I could play Prince of Persia: Warrior Within for hours on end for that kickass soundtrack alone (Stand Alone, if you're wondering). That game is what got me onto God Smack man, i loved that game too, heaps better than the other ones. After hearing them i went out and bought Good Times Bad Times: Ten years of God Smack, its a best of, highly recomend. |
| #123torynMar 17, 2009 13:58:48 | That game is what got me onto God Smack man, i loved that game too, heaps better than the other ones. After hearing them i went out and bought Good Times Bad Times: Ten years of God Smack, its a best of, highly recomend. I like their " unplugged"" album as well. I don't remember the name, but it has Touche. Also, Jimmy Hendrix is a guitar god, like Zakk Wylde, Dimebag Darrell and Jimmy Page. |

| #126baneofelvesMar 18, 2009 15:58:09 | I mentioned Slayer, which is not a PG-13 band. And I like Eminem. So keep your **** to yourself. You're testing the language filter, which is a CoC violation..... |
| #127zombie_babiesMar 18, 2009 15:58:55 | Keep that sh_t to yourself, these are PG-13 forums. Meh. As long as it's kept pointed away from us, it's all good. |

| #129SilvercrysMar 18, 2009 19:40:53 | You might try Rise Against. It's not death metal or anything, but I like them alot. Especially their most recent CD, Appeal to Reason. Some of their older stuff might be more your speed, though. Specifically, Revolutions per Minute. |
| #130handofdarknessMar 18, 2009 20:01:17 | Here's some more from me(if some of these have been mentioned before I apologize beforehand): *deep breath* Show Alice in Chains Amon Amarth Apocalyptica Arch Enemy Bal-Sagoth Battlelore Behemoth Black Label Society The Black Mages Blind Guardian Burzum Candlemass Carpathain Forest Cavalera Conspiracy Children of Bodom Damageplan Danzig Decapitated Dio Dir en Grey Dream Theater Emperor Ensiferum Epica Faith No More Finntroll Firewind Gojira Hamerfall Hellyeah Iced Earth early In Flames Iron Maiden Joe Satriani John5 Judas Priest Kamelot King Diamond Korpiklanni Lacuna Coil Lamb of God Machine Head Marc Rizzo Mastodon Megadeth Metallica Kill'em All through Master of Puppets Misfits Mudvayne Mushroomhead Nevermore Nightwish Opeth Overkill Pantera Sepultura SLAYER\m/ Sonata Arctica Steve Vai Symphony X Testament Vader Venom Within Temptation Yngwie Malmsteen |
| #131lunocMar 18, 2009 20:24:31 | jethro tull and metallica are in my opinion better on their worst days than most of whats been made in the last ten years. well, thats not completely acurate, I do enjoy sountracts to some video games/movies. (halo theme, neodammerung, elder scrolls music...ect. I'm suddenly seeing how much metallica sticks out in this group) |
| #132dirtyfrankMar 18, 2009 23:13:01 | |
| #133torynMar 19, 2009 15:36:22 | Another good band to listen to is Flaw. They are/were a band from Louisville, KY and they have 2 albums out. The first, Through the Eyes, was featured on the Scorpion King as well as XXX (Vin Diesel's). Their 2nd album, Endangered Species, is not as good as the first but it is more mellow. |
