FroGG_NeaL Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 Special K? Sit I can get that on the East End all day, man.
Steviekick Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 I couldn't name one song of either, but I've heard of them. At least a lot of the bands you're complaining about have had some radio airplay, or some other hint of fame. Imagine trying to explain that your band sounds like a cross between One Man Army & The Undead Quartet with hints of Demolition Hammer and an overall power-groove feeling. There's maybe only one other person here that's heard of either of these bands, and it's either going to be Agent or Slayer. Maybe Steviekick, too. One Man Army is pretty cool sounding, but I'm biased to all those Swedish bands. I've heard of Demolition Hammer a little bit, mostly because there on a few Century Media compilations. Currently I've been on a Slayer/Anthrax/Exodus/Suicidal Tendencies kick.
Gary Floyd Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 I'm really loving some 60's Garage rock at the moment (particularly Chocolate Watch Band and Shadows of Knight).
Adam Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 I'm on a huge Springsteen kick this past month. Just starting to listen to a lot of Tom Waits, and also Kanye West's Freshman Adjustment mixes. Oh, and TISM, although I don't expect anyone to know the awesomeness that is TISM.
muzz Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 Bowie, including probably listening to Life on Mars a little too much.
Retard Girl Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 Misfits. god, what i've been missing.
PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 Shock of Being by Make Believe. I have been told that they put another album out well over a year ago, but I haven't heard it. Falling back in love with Age of Octeen by Braid and When I Was Born For the 7th Time by Cornershop. Same thing with Social Distortion's s/t album.
Corey_Lazarus Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 Misfits. god, what i've been missing. Depends. If you just started listening, and you're in the Danzig-era...then yes. You should slap yourself for never having heard how amazing the REAL Misfits were. Now, if you're in the Graves-era...it's all meh, save for a handful of songs, really. And of those songs, only one or two really hold up to the Danzig-era. In fact, the only bad tune from the Danzig-era is "Come Back," IMO.
Retard Girl Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 ^ yes, i have slapped myself for missing out for the last 28 years. and it turns out this album i've had on repeat for the last three days is one of the "new" albums. i suppose that makes me some sort of loser. well, more than i already was. aren't i clever?
Steviekick Posted January 26, 2008 Report Posted January 26, 2008 Misfits. god, what i've been missing. If your enjoying 77-83 era Misfits, definitely check out Danzig's next band, Samhain.

"Come Back" is one of my favorite original lineup songs.
PLAGIARISM! Posted January 26, 2008 Report Posted January 26, 2008 I like Graves era Misfits. Better comedy band than punk band.
Guest Tzar Lysergic Posted January 26, 2008 Report Posted January 26, 2008 I'm in the drone section of winter.
DangerousDamon Posted January 27, 2008 Report Posted January 27, 2008 I have the worst (and most random) taste in music. Once, I was on a Hatebreed kick. Now, I'm on a Linkin Park and Adema kick. I don't know why I like this shit. It just gets stuck in my head.
Edwin MacPhisto Posted January 28, 2008 Report Posted January 28, 2008 I actually liked the first 90 seconds or so of that slower Linkin Park single that's on XM 20 a lot lately. Then I realized it was just because they ripped off the "Something Great" instrumental from the last LCD Soundsystem album, and started putting that on its place.
Darthtiki Posted January 31, 2008 Report Posted January 31, 2008 Garth Brooks. I got to see him during the LA shows and damn probably one of the best concerts I've been to.
HarleyQuinn Posted January 31, 2008 Report Posted January 31, 2008 Hitting a roll with Dinosaur Jr., Oingo Boingo (Danny Elfman FTW), and My Bloody Valentine
PLAGIARISM! Posted January 31, 2008 Report Posted January 31, 2008 GBV's Alien Lanes has had a lot of spin in the last month or so.
AnnieEclectic Posted February 6, 2008 Report Posted February 6, 2008 GBV's Alien Lanes has had a lot of spin in the last month or so. good show! I got turned on to Guided By Voices last year by a customer and wow. Alien Lanes and Bee Thousand both are wonderful albums start to finish. "Hot Freaks" is one of my favorite tracks... can't remember which album though. Somehow I've been going on quite the disparate 2-band kick: Dragonforce's "Inhuman Justice" album and The Postal Service's "Give Up". Sort of an odd switch, but I can't listen to crossdressing Japanese men all the time. -Annie
Nighthawk Posted February 11, 2008 Report Posted February 11, 2008 I've been listening to a lot of oldies lately. I listened to my Joe Meek box set and just kind of kept with that feel. It's interesting that a lot of songs about love feature a girl who is 16. Like, specifically mentioned as being 16. I've always said that should be the universal age of consent, and this supports it. It's also interesting that in this climate of 16 year old love, you get Gary Puckett's "Young Girl", which is about a girl who is much too young. If 16 isn't too young, much too young is probably south of 14. Sick!
Gary Floyd Posted February 11, 2008 Report Posted February 11, 2008 A lot of Cabaret Voltaire in their peak, as well as Clock DVA and Throbbing Gristle. I love old industrial music.
Corey_Lazarus Posted February 11, 2008 Report Posted February 11, 2008 Picked up Creature Feature's The Greatest Show Unearthed Saturday on a whim. It looked like it would be either horrorpunk or some odd form of thrash or death, maybe even grind, so I popped it in...and shot it out. Then I listened to it an hour or two later. It's pretty weird, like Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack-weird. In fact, that's a perfect explanation of it: it's the Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack done by a singer who sounds like a combination of Marilyn Manson and an announcer. It's actually pretty cool, and would be perfect music for a Halloween party.
BifEverchad Posted February 18, 2008 Report Posted February 18, 2008 Zeppelin, Sabbath, Cream, Deep Purple... All sorts of 70's-esque shit I never listened to before.
SamoaRowe Posted February 19, 2008 Report Posted February 19, 2008 I'm on a classic punk kick right now.
Red Baron Posted February 19, 2008 Report Posted February 19, 2008 A lot of Bruce Springsteen right now. I haven't listen to him since the last days of highschool really.
Red Baron Posted February 19, 2008 Report Posted February 19, 2008 I actually liked the first 90 seconds or so of that slower Linkin Park single that's on XM 20 a lot lately. Then I realized it was just because they ripped off the "Something Great" instrumental from the last LCD Soundsystem album, and started putting that on its place. I hate you.
