add jimi hendrix to the list for saying "there's only two kinds of music: music you like and music you don't"

i can't believe i forgot to mention i hate myself on my "emo" list, top notch band!

you are free 05.03.2006 02:37 PM

yeah they are really awesome. one of the best.
don't you like any of the cap'n jazz bands?

Sheriff Rhys Chatham 05.03.2006 02:42 PM

Without genres it would be so hard to find music you want and like. Go into a record store, I know to avoid the back sections of world, death metal, and gangsta rap music.

Everyneurotic 05.03.2006 02:55 PM

i like the promise ring stuff i've heard, i don't like the joan of arc stuff i've heard so far. maybe you can point me out to stuff to listen to.

and i haven't heard owen or the owls. (i think those have something to do with it right?)

Savage Clone 05.03.2006 02:58 PM

Well, Cap'n Jazz is actually as annoying as any of the "shopping mall emo" bands you mentioned. :D

Just be glad we are not all talking underground metal or techno. Now there is a quagmire.

Rob Instigator 05.03.2006 02:59 PM

I like
FARAQUET
AMERICAN FOOTBALL

thewall91 05.03.2006 03:09 PM

it sucks when people judge by the genre. like i can't believe that anyone makes fun of me for listening to bands like this:
 


how can anyone not take me seriously? seriously.... hair metal is SO underrated!

you are free 05.03.2006 03:10 PM

cap'n jazz are my favourite. then american football. owls are good what i've heard and i'm yet to listen to owen. and i'm not too keen on joan of arc either to be honest. if i am i really have to be in the mood.

but yet. definitely cap'n jazz and american football!

right on to the "techno" - are we talking dance too?
cos daft punk are pretty much great.

krastian 05.03.2006 03:21 PM

I like Paul Oakenfold, but I guess that's not really "techno." Oh and Joan of Arc have some pretty good stuff. How Memory Works is my favorite. I love that song "God Bless America."

Savage Clone 05.03.2006 03:22 PM

I was talking happygabbercorehardstepdubhop.

krastian 05.03.2006 03:24 PM

Paul Van Dyk is pretty cool too.....and Orbital. Ok I'm done.

i was talking about that to a dj friend of mine yesterday.

he was telling me about psychedelic trance and how it's now a shitty scene, with drunken people doing violent stuff on raves and shit. i told him that maybe they should start a new scene now that psych-trance has becomed watered down and generic; he told me he loved that kind of music so much he couldn't switch sounds and do what the hip thing is now; we then started to discuss the finer points of genres and subgenres within electronica, then i suggested him he could take the sounds he wants, try to come up with something new and original to add and then call it something else, and sell it like the hot new shit that's gonna take over where psych trance is leaving.

people in electronica take subgenres (the titles, not the sounds so much) much more seriously than people in rock. i'm really thankful there's no such things going on in other genres. to me, that's so retarded, it's way off in the red

Everyneurotic 05.03.2006 03:31 PM

paul oakenfold and paul van dyk are getting props in here? you mean, these dudes who get paid close to millions of dollars just for pushing play on a cd. and when they try to come up with some original songs, they just play the demos they get when they buy a new synthesizer.

come on!!! there's better stuff than those idiots.

HaydenAsche 05.03.2006 03:32 PM

I generally don't use genres. I have no idea what to classify half of the music I listen to as anyways.

I also scarcely use the terms "underrated" and "overrated".

I prefer the terms "good" and "complete shite".

Savage Clone 05.03.2006 03:35 PM

Hayden:

AMERICANS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SAY "SHITE."

Sayin'.

Everyneurotic 05.03.2006 03:35 PM

utter shite!!

HaydenAsche 05.03.2006 03:36 PM

Savage Clone:

I'll remember that for later.
