ZOMG Gordon Lightfoot! I bought his best of record a while ago and when I got home, to my surprise, I discovered it had neither Sundown nor the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
Well, I admit I don't much care for the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, Sundown is ridiculously catchy and perfect for karaoke. I was mostly just surprised his best known songs were nowhere to be found on his 'best of' album. Gordon would not be my desert island selection anyway. I would want, maybe Lisa Gerrard or Spoons (don't make me choose.)
if you guys didnt know both switchfoot and reliant k started off as christian bands, i have a cousin who is a youth group leader and she has meat the people from switchfoot and so blah blah blah, enough of that boring stuff.....is anyone else exited for the new greenday cd thats coming out, i already have 9 leaked songs from theryre album and i gotta say AMAZING, i think im gonna go see them in concert when theyre tour starts... Go LINKIN PARK #1 and then green day and blink....
Tell your cousin that one on the guys from Reliant K is in a band with one of my friends. He's the lead singer for "Inhale Exhale." http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewArtist?id=202011976 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuLDB7uqLbg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHRiqSleXo8 (no special effects in that second video. Ohio is just that bleak and creepy in the winter) I'm actually not a fan. I just think it's crazy hearing him sing and seeing him on stage. I've known him since I was like 12.
I thought about it some more and decided who I want on my desert island. He would add some much needed ambiance around the vicinity of the beach bar. Call me pretentious; call me what you will.
I've actually been kinda disappointed by Green Day, lately. I listened to the premier of a three songs on KROQ last night, I only liked 21 Guns. I've also heard 21st Century Breakdown (had they cranked up the speed, it actually could've been a pretty good song), and of course, Know You're Enemy (actually really like that one). Nothing has come close to Holiday (my all time favorite song) at all. Seeing them this August, though!!! Linkin Park's first two albums were amazing, but I kinda got tired of the Teen Pain and Frustration theme. I'm a teen, and it's tiring, but the energy and tunes the songs make up for it. The songs can actually be pretty deep, though. And the Chester and Shinoda duo works amazingly well. Blink 182... blegh. I'll always be an 80s rock fan first and foremost. I freakin' love the Scorpions
i like your taste lol.....but i do see were your coming from, it seems like greenday is settling down from they're young years of the punk alternative kids and starting to pace themselves a bit more, towning down they're songs and making them a bit less heavily(if you know what i mean by that) they're music has really changed over the past few albums thats for sure, i think it was quit risky changing they're style like that but i really like it, it shows a different side of them and it looks like they're putting a little more feeling into they're songs instead of just singing about some of the random stuff they used to....and holiday was a great song one of the best but im gonna have to say warning, and wake me up when September ends are right next to it...and im with you on the linkin park stuff two i liked the first couple a lot but it just started to sound like a bunch of complaining about how they hated stuff, then minutes to midnight came out and i think it changed from the complaining and that crap to kinda the original style, but just like greenday it was a bit towned down..and i also agree with the duo they definately have one of the best ive herd they put all they have out there when they sing and its amazing...hhhmmm music to my ears ....i should hit you for insulting blink like that, theyre amazing and that ends it...wow this was a long post
My uncle who is around your age introduced me to a lot of great bands. He listens to Porcupine Tree, Death Cab, The Shins, and a lot of other great stuff.
Being 56 does not mean living completely in the 70's. Sure ... I still love the music I grew up with but I also love contemporary musicians in addition to my list such as Pink, Tool, Smashing Pumpkins, Coldplay, Nirvana, and Third Eye Blind to name a few but .... I do know many people my age who aren't into new music. I guess it all depends on how you live your life.
Love Inhale/Exhale. I found them out about them on one of those cd insert slip stuff with ringtones, and I think they're amazing.
Hard to pick favorites but here are some i regularly listen to Scorpions AC/DC Black Sabbath Blue Oyster Cult Iron Maiden Motorhad Oasis Blur Deep Purple Blue Cheer Iron Butterfly Megadeth Slayer Vio-Lence Machinehead etc etc

I get very bored easily with just one genre of music... though Progressive Metal and Melodic Death Metal is more my favourite cup of tea, I really listen to anything. The only genre of music that I am really not that into, is country. I like artists such as Hank Williams II and Johnny Cash and stuff, but I cant really get into the contemporary country. Not to stray away from the topic, but someone on the first page had a list with some alternative bands on there and claimed them to be "EMO" and defended his "Emo" likings. First of all man, EMO IS NOT A GENRE OF MUSIC. Emo means emotional, and if thats what to apply the tag too, you can even call Aretha Franklin emo, and she is amazing. Everyone has emo in them, if not you are heartless, literally. No feeling = no soul. Im sorry but you can defend yourself all you want, the music you listen to should be because YOU like it. Im glad you dont let the "Genre" stop you from enjoying what you like, but don't call it "Emo". Call it alternative, some are hardcore, some Pop-Punk. Whatever you want to call it man, its just ****ing music. Ok im done Carry on! Nice lists guys.
