what kind of music are you into?

[Maglor]

Cool thread. Nice to get an idea of what the other freaks are listening to.

Also, nice to see that there are so many metalheads!

 

[AllisonAmy]

The Backyardigans.

The Backyardigans.

NOOOO!!!! My son watched that show quite a bit for a few months. It's a great little show for kids but that song can get a little annoying after awhile.

Right now he's really into UP. I noticed I was humming the song from it earlier today at work.

 

[Maglor]

Sometimes I'm really glad I don't have kids!

 

[Reefer Shark]

Hardcore metal FTW

 

[FLOSI]

Punk and Indy, but now that I have a kid 90% of the Indy bands I once liked have broken up and i havn't had the time to keep up on the scene. So make that Punk and other bands that no longer play together.

 

[Maglor]

Had no idea Flosi.

What are your favorite punk bands?

 

[FLOSI]

I guess it just depends. I like older classic stuff of course, Ramones, Buzzcocks, Black Flag, Clash, etc., modern kinda more mainsteam bands like Social D, NOFX and others like Face to Face, Hot Water Music... then there's all the bands that I used to love but listened to them too much like Op Ivy or No Use or Lagwagon... Just sooo damn many, Mags. Who do you like?

Of the ones you mentioned I like No Use For a Name, Face to Face, and NOFX. To that list I would add Pennywise, Bad Religion, and Green Day (esp. Kerplunk... yes it's punk... and no I'm not ashamed.)

The only older band I really got into was Minor Threat.

Then there is some Hardcore stuff like Sick Of It All.


Then I got into Korn and Deftones which was the gateway back into metal (as a teenager I loved Metallica). Now I tend to prefer Metal, although every once in a while I gotta go back to some puck rock!

I used to be in a punk rock band. Someday If I figure out how to make videos and post them on youtube I'll post some of our old songs.

We did covers of Seven Seconds, Minor Threat, Bad Religion, Fugazi, Green Day and others. But we played mostly original stuff similar to Bad Religion or Pennywise.

Yeah, I've definitely listened to all those bands too.

Hell, I listened to Green Day for almost 20 years now. I bought Kerplunk after one of their shows at Gilman when I was in high school. I remember how crazy it was to see them on MTV 3 or 4 years later. I used to love the teen heartbreak songs that were on the pre-Dookie albums. Not that I don't still like them but there was a time when I really related to their music. A couple of chicks I would hang with in high school just loved them and that's how I got turned on to their music at that time (before they were big! ) I had a huge crush on one of the girls, Michelle, and we'd mess around while the other, Jessica, would drive the three of us to shows and smoke us out. Good memories.

"Eureka!" and "We're Going to Mars" are quite catchy, IMO.

I have to say that Nick Jr. has saved my sanity on more than one occasion!

 

[Toni Plutonij]

Punk and Psychobilly..

Genre I don't listen to, but love to go out on a party and just jump till I drop dead tired, Drum'n'Bass..raw D'n'B without singing.

I'm not usually in the mood for traditional blue grass, but "newgrass" or "space grass" I really enjoy. Stuff like the earlier work from Bela Fleck, Tony Rice, David Grisman, and even Ricky Skaggs. Bluegrass/jazz hybrid music is some of my very favorite. Alison Krauss has also produced some of the most beautifully sung and smoothly played albums of the 80s/90s, in my opinion.

You know, I love Alison Krauss as well. Her voice is so amazing. It's sort of a secret in my life, though, as it's a little embarrassing for me. I even have a banjo, but I never learned to play it because I haven't found anyone in Northern Illinois that teaches lessons.

This entire post is meant to be a joke right?

I think Cyndi Lauper is pretty good. The Goonies theme is pretty awesome.

 

[Maglor]

Goonies!!!!

 

[Maglor]

And I actually really like Sinead O'Connor.

But Vanilla Ice? Milli Vanilli?

Gotta be a joke post.
