I remember going on on Cloud Chaser's Audio forum and they were talking about Matt Good's first album, only it really was like his fourth, it was just his first on released in the US.

The Hip apparently are also huge in Australia, the UK and the Netherlands.

Tool
Alice in Chains
Pearl Jam

Before you bitch about other peoples' taste in music, might want to share your own? As far as I know Candlebox and Live both have more talent on each of their finger tips than your whole body.

[Silent Drone]

But, look at his name. He is worried. He's terrified!

... That, or he's simply an idiot who doesn't understand what an 'opinion' is....

Yeah, definately the latter.

Oh, and to add something to the topic...

Pearl Jam - Anysong really.

The Beatles - Blackbird, Eleanor Rigby, Day Tripper, Yesterday, Michelle, ... The list goes on. Only beatles song I hate is Yellow Submarine. Why? Because its not one of there best, but its the onlyone every single person knows.

Nirvana: A good chunk of their songs in general.

Ben Folds - Gone, The Luckiest, Carryin' Cathy, Zak and Sara.
A lot of his stuff in general.

Other then that? Not a lot comes to mind. A handful of the bands Undertow listed though.

Look at his name! He's silent and oh wait no he's not. Shut up.

Indeed.

If I wanted to hear an asshole, I'd fart.

Touche. But I'm sure both of us know how much of a tool you are now, also. You learn something new everyday.

[Silent Drone]

Countering opinion? You mean opinions can be argued?

You have rather excellent taste in music, it would appear.

As for silence? I registered months ago and i'm only at about 25 posts. I'm about as silent as silent bob, [Popular Kevin Smith Fanboy Catchphrase HERE]

[ApocX]

Hey, I am registered.

But anyway.

Heretofore what plagues may fall upon this vile land of seed so intertwined and betwixt of repugnancy that not even the great Teiresias may be beheld unto its putrid splendor in its entirety.

And I'm still reeling from the first guy.

This is something you just learned? It must have been a while since my last post here.

No, I couldn't be bothered to read your posts in the past.

[LukeIsTerrified]

That's too bad, man. You're missing some good stuff. I might even venture to suggest running a little search for my past posts and catching up. You'd only have to go through 46 posts and, after this one, you've already read four!

On topic: "Sister Savior" by The Rapture is the song of the year.

[ApocX]

You mean opinions can be argued?

I never get this arguement. Opinions are often wrong. Actually, almost all of our opinions are wrong and fundamentally flawed when examined close enough.

A long time ago this group called the everybody in the world was of the opinion that the universe revolved around the earth. Then some other dude was like, "No," and he was right.

A better example is a color blind person looking at a green shirt and thinking it's blue. It's reflecting pure green light. Everyone else sees green. By the definition of color itself, it is green, scientifically and logically. But they see the color blue, because their head is messed up. In their mind, the green is blue, and sure, from their perspective, the existence of blue is real. But it's not (using normality in comparison)! I'd like to see you convince them otherwise, though, if they were an unwitting deviation.

Thus, opinions are wrong.

By association, this topic is very wrong, as stated in my previous post.

[A Black Falcon]

ApocX? Haven't you been gone for a long time?

And of course opinions can be argued! As you say, just because you think something doesn't mean that its empirically right, or that someone who disagrees doesn't have a point too...

I'll pass. I've found a really interesting article on the time frame of a browning apple core, I think I'll read that. (You might find it very interesting, too! You'd be amazed by the rate of oxidization of the apple core! Very cool.)

This man has a point. The Package is also a very fine track.

[Private Hudson]

They all are.

The Noose, Stranger, Blue, The Outsider are all contenders, too. :p

Pet just gets you going that much more. :)

[Laser Link]

Nobody has heard of the bands I like. They are essentially blocked from ever recieving the attention they deserve because of their lyrics and the fact they won't sell out to become popular. They are labeled and pushed into a little box and ignored by all but a few. Occasionally one of the average bands gets out of this box- and receives tons of fame and attention. It makes me wonder what would happen if some of the really good bands ever got some attention... But for now they are ignored, and it's too bad, because they rock.

[-iLluSiON-]

In Flames, Dimmu Borgir, Menhir, Dissection, Emperor, Opeth, Marduk, Mithotyn, Skyfire, Bal Sagoth, Blind Guardian, etc. You guys don't know this music so there's no point.

[Darunia]

You and your crazy Scandinavian death metal.

[alien space marine]

Sabbath and ACDC rule!

I know some of your bands. I also know Bal Sagoth and Blind Guardian, to a limited extent.

[Laser Link]

Psssst. Weltall, you quoted the wrong guy. :) I've never heard of Bal Sagoth or Blind Guardian.

Well I'm talking about groups like Switchfoot, Bleach, All Star United, Relient K, Five Iron Frenzy, Brave Saint Saturn, Skillet, Ace Troubleshooter, dc Talk, MxPx. You might have heard of some of them, and if you have then you probably know what I am talking about. Most of the guys here have heard me talk about this a bunch already, so they are all ignoring me. But I think they do that anyway. :)

Switchfoot's newest cd "Beautiful Letdown" is unbelievable. Every single song is great. It easily surpasses their earlier stuff, and that's saying a lot. Weezer reminds me a lot of Bleach and All Star United, but Bleach rocks a lot more. Weezer is probably more catchy, but a lot of the time too poppy for me. dc Talk practically invented rapcore over 10 years ago, but everybody thinks they just jumped on the bandwagon. I love MxPx, and "Slowly Going the Way of the Buffalo" is how I define punk music (but it seems that every single person in the world has their own definition, so whatever). Their newest album "Before, Everything and After" definently lost a lot of the punk style and at times sounds kinda like Good Charlotte (who it seems everyone hates), but it's still fantastic. And I don't really care if it's called punk, pop-punk, pop, or anything else. It's good.

At least things are beginning to change. These groups get a lot more respect than they did a few years ago, and that will only continue as more and more people start to realize they are missing out on a lot of really great music.

[N-Man]

LL: You so emo, LL. Everybody knows MxPx, although I must admit the others are a bit more obscure. I downloaded a few dcTalk songs some months back and it's pretty enjoyable, albeit extremely lightweight. There's one song whose title I can't for the life of me remember, starts off with 'Solomon once wrote... better is open rebuke, than hidden love... etc.' which I liked quite a bit, and also Jesus Freak and Mind's Eye.

illusion: I'd listen to Dimmu Borgir and Emperor if I wasn't having scattered headaches and thus not afraid of my brain exploding. Blind Guardian's a bit too epic for my liking, though I can appreciate what little I've heard of them (Ashes to Ashes, aand... A Dark Passage I think it was?).

Skyfire has an awesome song which I believe is called By God Forsaken, worth getting just for the intro synth-trumpets and accompanying primal scream.

(/annoying music geek mode)

[Laser Link]

Yeah, I do go off on this subject, but it just bugs me to no end. Sorry for ranting. Again.

The song you are talking about is "Say the Words" from Free at Last. They also re-made it for their greatest hits cd, now called "Say the Words Now". The new one is an upbeat poppy song, and the old is the classic dc Talk hip hop stuff. And I agree that it is lightweight compared to what I listen to now, but these songs are old! Free at Last is 11 years old now, and a lot has changed since then.

[Darunia]

This thread is pointless, we all know that the best music is from the 80's, period.

Holy crap Laser Link, I listen to most of those same bands. I also like Project 86, Blindside, and Embodyment. I've seen FiveIronFrenzy and Relient K in concert years ago, and it was a pretty awsome show.

[Laser Link]

I'm not a big fan of the harder stuff, but most of my friends are. And they love Project 86 and Blindside. Pillar too. Good stuff. I'm looking forward to FIF's last show in Denver. I'm sure it will be amazing as FIF is always great, and this is the last time they will ever perform together. Throw in Bleach and a "surprise" showing by Relient K, and I can't wait. :D

[bomberman]

You lucky sonofagun, I wish I could see their last show. The closest show to me is in Salem, OR, which I may or may not see depending on how things work out. You need to smuggle in one of those videocameras they use for police stings and tape the whole show for old bomberman.

I wish I had a camera to sneak in. That would be great. I also wish FIF would record this show and sell it on DVD or something It would sell like crazy!

So, do you by any chance listen to Air1? They have a lot of stations in Oregon. If so, I get to be very jealous of you. I would love to listen to a radio station that plays good music like Air1 or Radio U. I guess internet streaming audio has to work for now.

And read this article about Relient K.
