Replace Pink Floyd and Megadeath with Spinal Tap and Anthrax, and we have a Winrar.

Alternative (although that's hard to specify, because a lot of alternative out right now isn't really alternative. Alternative is the new rock, in that it is all encompassing and is not specific. Anymore.)


It kind of bugs me that people refer to some really mainstream music as being "alternative". For example, my iTunes is convinced that Blink-182 is alternative, when they're actually quite mainstream. Same with a lot of other stuff on there.


Um. That's not what I meant. There is some mainstream alternative stuff.

"Alternative" seems to be what everything is called these days, even if it fits into other categories.

Also, while we are on the subject of iTunes and wrong genres, apparantly, Evanescence is Metal. :rolleyes:

Spinal Tap doesn't count as real music to me, it's comedy. And you cannot deny that Pink Floyd pwns. Honestly, I know I sound uncultured for this, but I haven't heard any Anthrax, I only know of the band because the one guy in that band is always on the VH1 I love the [insert decade here]'s shows.

I love Classic Rock. When my friends ask me why I think older music is better, I tell them, "For the same reason the original Star Wars movies are better." They just have that feel that the new stuff doesn't have, even if the graphix are crappy. :mrgreen:

100% agree'd.

Actually the reason it's better is because human arts always flourish and succeed in times of war and controversy; that's always happened throughout history, Plato wrote about it.

There's a lot of political tension right now, but it's not nearly as much as when the period of good music took place.

I just listen to a buncha indie stuff on Pandora that gets mixed around, but I like Pink Floyd and Elton John.

The latter is mainly due to my ability to play like fifteen of his songs on the piano.

No, wait. The best thing ever would be Elton John as the pianist for George Harrison and Ringo, with John Deacon on bass.

I like Elton John. His performance on the live version of Stan was spectacular, and I really like all the stuff I hear off Road to El Dorado when I hear it. I should get some of his music - he's really talented.

Grunge: Soundgarden


Please explain to me why you prefer Soundgarden over other greats like Alice in Chains, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Foo Fighters. I'm not saying they suck, I'm just saying that the others are equal to or superior to them IMO.

I've already posted a list of like half of my bands, but here's genres and favorites:

The Velvet Underground and The Beatles get placed first for somehow influencing a large portion of the music I listen to.

70s punk: The Clash. They have better musicianship and songwriting talent than all those other guys.

70s progressive: Pink Floyd. They've been my favorite band since I was, like, eight years old.

80s post-punk/new wave: The Cure. I just like their first couple albums. Honorable mention Joy Division.

80s college rock: It's a tie between Pixies and Violent Femmes. Both bands have incredible musicians and an original sound.

90s grunge: Nirvana. They were the first to break out into the alternative world of the 90s; plus almost all other grunge bands from that time (excluding Hole and Foo Fighters) had nearly identical voices. Other honorable mentions: Foo Fighters (1/3 of Nirvana in my book) and Hole for reasons mentioned above.

90s pop/punk: Weezer. I think they'd be called "emo" by today's standards, but I honestly have no idea anymore. They have catchy tunes and whiny lyrics, therefore I love them. Other honorable mentions: NOFX, just about the whiniest and loudest of them all.

90s ska/punk: tie between Sublime and No Doubt. Although Sublime leans more towards reggae/rock and No Doubt is more of a new wave w/ a horn section, they got grouped under that umbrella of ska. Other honorable mentions: Reel Big Fish, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, and Rancid. Rancid has my fav ska bassist, Matt Freeman; RBF has a sense of humor; TMMB had a somewhat different style from the rest of the crowd.

Other 90s honorable mentions: Beck and Blur (and all of Damon Albarn's other bands) for being insanely creative. Additionally, Alanis Morissette.

2000s indie: The Shins; they're not too loud or too quiet, just a nice little pop band that can write some good tunes.

2002 garage rock wave: The White Stripes. Does this one call for a durr? Seriously, Jack White is the best guitarist we have left that I know of. Honorable mentions: The Strokes, The Libertines, and The Hives. The Strokes first album is the only one I care for, but it sounds all Lou Reed-like. The Libertines are in the same position, their first album reminds me of The Clash, and Mick Jones' producing helps that fact. The Hives fulfill all of my screaming and fast instrumentation needs that NOFX can't.

Other 2000s mentions: Arctic Monkeys have some really clever wordplay amidst their speedy chord playing and weird rhythms.

I'm not him, but I have an obsessive love for Soundgarden myself. Chris Cornell was an amazing vocalist in those days: there was so much power behind his voice that Cobain didn't have. And Kim Thayill had a talent for beyond any other grunge guitarist at the guitar. "Jesus Christ Pose" in particular shows the amazing talent of Soundgarden. Don't get me wrong, I love all of those bands, but Nirvana and Foo Fighters are fairly simplistic, and Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam never played Limo Wreck.

Not just because it's on guitar hero, but because it has a both hard rock parts and soft rock, as well. mix it in with killer lyrics and you've got a great 7:27 of your life.
