Hey, I actually went to a Madonna concert in the early 80's with our high school chicks. Guess who opened for them......The Beastie Boys. What was I on back then?

For some reason, I don't understand any woman recording artists. Half of them sound like angry lesbians, then the other half sound like they are just mad at their fathers. Anyone who doesn't fit into those two categories is probably one of these cookie-cutter pop stars, like britney, aguilera, j-lo, whatever. No talent, no originality, nothing but fake boobs and processed garbage that they call music. I don't get how anyone actually likes this crap.

Edit: WTF is up with Dave Matthews Band anyway? Everybody loves them, but I can't stand that garbage. They're almost as bad as Nickelback. Has everyone figured out by now that Nickelback found the formula for the perfect song? If you play two nickelback songs over the top of each other, they sound EXACTLY the same. Listen to this: http://www.squizzle.com/sound/nickelbacksucks.mp3

OTher than that, I respect most all music. Although I'm not old enough, I think all classic rock just kicks ass.

lol!! Apparently someone doesn't want you leeching their images!

I agree, and work hard to find female vocalists that break the mold. In my book, some shining examples are:
-Shakira - Latin with heavy classic rock influence. And she's really hot
-Sarah McLachlan - except for her latest album, which is a snooze
-Edie Brickell - except for her latest album, which is a snooze
-Natalie Merchant - superb


Biggest disappointment/waste of stunning voice: Mariah Carey

I'm not that old (26) and I don't get them. Beck I half-get. Tori Amos to me is the Lifetime channel set to music. Björk is just plain weird. She's cut from the same thread as Yoko Ono. It's all about being different for the sake of being different, even if all you produce is crap.

:D That's funny

you should check out Aimee Mann.

Yes, the old school punk. When I started getting into music in the begining of MY teen years, those groups above are the groups I got into , along with many others. Then got into metal .

:D

and Bad Brains.

I liked AFI's newest effort, Sing The Sorrow. That album is worth a listen.

Pantera was the ****. Dime and Vinnie and Rex are/were great guys, Phil was a frucktard. Vinnie is a great drummer (for Metal) and Dime was a great guitar player. The guy who killed Dime was NOT a fan. He was pissed because he thought Dime broke apart Pantera, when infact it was Phils bullchit.The crowd, thats typical with Pantera, or any other "metal" band. Slam dancing or moshing as its called.

Dave Mathews band he has behind him are simply amazing. We had them, with Macy Grey a few years for 3 days, and I sat behind the drummer for all three shows.,.,.,WOW, everybody in that band are UNderrated musicians

...and Fiona Apple.

I remember when I was living in Cali back in the early 90's, I had a buddy who played bass for a band. I went to go check them out one night, and they were one of the opening bands for Dream Threater in a little hole in the wall club. It was right before Images and Words was released. Amazing back then. John Petrucci, the guitar player, use to have a contract with Ernie Ball/ Music Man guitars, and had a few signature models released. Needless to say, I bought one, and its one of the best playing guitars I own.

O ya, great band.

Give Bjork's Post a serious listen.. VERY good stuff

I can see Bjork being a tough sell - took me a long time to get used to her music, but I've grown to really enjoy it. It started to grow on my just because it was really different, but there's more to it than just being different.

I've got a copy of a Bjork cd that I will send to anyone free of charge. Heck, I may even pay for shipping. I think some people (like myself) liked her in the "Sugarcubes" and keep thinking that she'll sound like that again. WRONG!

Don't get : Country music...... Gangsta Rap..... Boy Bands, Girl Bands, American Idol bands....


I happen to be responding to this while listening to the new NIN CD/DVD 'With Teeth' at high volume levels at the age of 33 ;) . I still haven't decided as to whether or not it lives up to that last album 'The Fragile', as I personally feel that 'The Fragile' is his best work to date. But just listen to the 1st track on 'Teeth' "All the love", I didn't know whether to laugh or cry when I heard him singing in a falcetto voice, now I find that track is the one I replay constantly.

Other bands I get, and enjoy.

MManson...... What can I say?
KMFDM - MDFMK.
MC 900FT Jesus.


I'm sure there's a huge list in my CD racks that would have people scratching their heads :D

Female artists:
Solex
Laika
Patsy Cline of course...

What about the Dead Milkmen? "You'll Dance to Anything..."

Oasis recently called System of a Down the worst band ever...I like some Oasis songs and some System songs
Huh.

Oasis sucks... although Wonderwall nearly brings me to tears when I hear it.. But thats another story...

System of a Down has some cool stuff.. I like the Middle Eastern scale stuff they incorporate into the music. Kind of cool to hear dulcimers in metal as well...

I'm not a big fan of nu-metal on the whole though, mostly cause it's boring...



Dead Milkmen are awesome... "*****in Camaro!"
