I love Ball5 though... Chris is my Bro and Nick is my Cuz, Mike is ok too check out the site, I did the Flash Intros, there's 3. The FL in FLASH are linked to one, the A to another and the SH to yet another. All my original ideas, the B5 symbol is my bro's and he originally drew the band and I drew them in the FLash.

Sorry Darkboy, those ARE pop bands!

There's no accounting for taste I guess...

I know many a pitiful friends in AMerica who listen to this, bleah, music. It is really just some guys put together in a "band", given lyrics, and try to imitate a rock band, while mixing it with rap, and it is manufactured music.

I call it, Poppy Rap/Rock

I am not a big fan of music much, but I do listen to this German band Ramstein, who irronicley I learned about from a New Yorker, not a German!

You slam our "manufactured music" and call it bleah, but you listen to Ramstein who wouldn't know music if it hit them in their @$$! Plus, most of the stuff they produce is, "manufactured". Those are not instruments, They're sound effects manufacted in a studio.

Good Real Bands:

Deep Purple
REM
Yes
Barenaked Ladies
Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Live
U2

Good Real Rock/Pop/Indie bands:

Blur
Travis
Starsailor

Good Manufactured/Semi-Manufactured Bands:

Manic Street Preachers (Sorry guys, you can't be as Communist as you claim you are while drinking Pepsi and being signed to Sony)
Alien Ant Farm (these guy are good, but manufactured nonetheless)
Green Day

 

[Ohwell]

Well, you have a point about Ramstein being manufctured music, but almost all music you listen to is manufactured music. I do not want to offend, I just needed to get it out of my head! Anyway, my point is not made by the Ramstein part of my post. That was on topic . That was about me, not about my previous comments. I didn't say Ramstein was not manufactured, and I did not say it was.

Alright, if you want to insult a band that I SOMETIMES listen to when I am bored, I will insult your Blink 182.

Those guys think they are so cool, they are imitating a punk rock band, when they are a Pop/Rap/Rock group. And they think running around nude on a music video is cool! Pheh.

There, no more comments about either of those bands.

You do know that you should only post the "EDIT" if you actually edit! You didn't edit...

 

[darkChild]

[Becka]

Well, I don't listen to any "bands", really. Actually, there is one kind of "group". But they play their own instruments, so I guess they're a band. Does this make any sense? :crazyeyes Good, I didn't think so.

My only "band" could be...

• Alison Krauss and Union Station

At least they aren't pop.

I usually only listen to single artists as opposed to bands. Artists can't break up, I suppose, like a band can. Artists just die.

I'm with Ohwell on this one. The American music scene is strangled by the music industry. Europe has a far wider selection of bands from all over, including from America - but the Americans generally are very limited in what they have access to, unless they live in New York.

The American music industry is too powerful, and keeps most of the mainstream music a grey blur of mediocre talent. The really creative talent has to struggle much more to get heard in the U.S. Spend a few weeks in any European city and you'll find great music scenes with just about any style you can imagine. I was hoping the net would have a much great democratizing effect here, but so far the music industry has decided to sue anyone who suggests there might be a better way to do things.

Darkboy, go and tell yer mummy...

In the real rock world sonny, these bands are laughed at.

As ohwell so inteligently pointed out, they are manufactued
bands designed to appeal to a unimaginative demographic...

They are geared to sell to kids like you, Darkchild.

Now If you look at Limp Bizkit for instance;
They are ran by a gimp (A Mr. Fred Durst) who incidently;
1 Owns his own record label,
2 Is old enough to be your dad,
3 Scoffs at his young and awestruck fans,
4 Is just in it for the dough,

Yep, kid, quite a role model you got there.
The man ain't a rebel, he's a suit in disguise!

Take my advice, look beyond the corporate conditioning
and remove the barcode from your head!
The media machine is just using you kids to make cash,
but you are all just too blind to see it.

And I'm no 'So dead'...as you amusingly put it.
I'm actually very alive and enjoying REAL rock, you loser.

And don't dis bands you so obviously don't understand or are too
damn-close minded to bear.

I am a Metalhead who also dislikes pop music,
I am not a big fan of Rammstein either,
but I respect the feelings of the fans of other genres.

Darkboy and any other teeny immature nu-metal fans,
Kindly grow up...

 

[Ohwell]

Well put Curt! I actually have no Idea why I even posted here other than there was nothing else at the time, as I don't like music much at all. It pisses me off, oh I really hate new age too. It is so goddam annoying!

Hey Curt what do you listen to? I bet I will not have heard one of the bands said you

 

[CurtSibling]

This is where I get flamed by the silly kids.

But I dig stuff like;
Iced Earth,
Running Wild,
Testament,
Gamma Ray,
Emperor,

To name a few...

These little nu-metal guys crack me up...
I grew out of dissing other people's music when I was 16.

Anyway, I salute you, Ohwell!
Open minds will prevail!

Never even heard of these, nor their fans. But they probably are good, I would not knoew anything about them because I dont listen to music. But I might try to get a mp3 downloader and get some stuff from these guys, I did get all of my music(less than 1 mb) from napster until it went down .

To Darkchild- Oh about Linkin Park, even my screwed up drunky friends like you think they are a really bad "band". Imagine that, even people like you think they are bad.

The North American music scene has been plagued by these recent subtle, yet stringent, social policies that make being attractive and sexy a greater asset in the music world than actually being able to produce a relatively good piece of music. Only those "ugly" bands that can produce catchy enough tunes or create some controversy (as long as its good for sales) can make it "big" in terms of fame and fortune on this continent.

In a society where physical appearance is becoming (if it already hasn't already become) the key factor in personal judgement, I suppose it's no wonder. That still doesn't make it right. Is anyone else noticing the social and moral decline of North American society or am I just being a cynical nut? Or maybe it's something else?

I believe everyone here will agree that music, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. I suppose "ear of the beholder" would be more appropriate but you get the point. Lately, however, in the United States and in Canada, the basis for which we, the general society and media, judge the talent and worthiness of music seems to stem more from the physical attributes of the performers, rather than their actual composing and singing skills. Now who's to blame? Are these prejudiced views the fault of the music industry or are they merely a reflection of our decaying moral fiber? Or something else, perhaps? Or maybe I'm simply making spurious corelations and absurd remarks. Anyhow, fire away.

I can't really give a favourite band. I like something from almost every genre. I can list to gangster rap or classical music. Punk rock or contemporary jazz. I could go on...but you get the point. My tastes are blurred which can make listening to music in my car an absolute nightmare for some of my friends, some of the time.

sorry about the long list just i never get to put ALL the bands i like down.

Agreed on most of those listed - I love old school punk because there is no pretentious B.S. - just pure sound.

let me add - Naked Raygun, Buzzcocks, Bad Religion and ummm Henry Rollins
