Musicbanter Taught Me Something

I will still have the same amount of quality/crap in my collection come what may but The Fall are certainly one of those banRAB that should go down in history for just being exactly what music should be- uncluttered and performed by people with far too much to say and not enough time to say it.

I wouldn't like to meet him though. I am sure he could piss me off within five minutes of meeting him.
 
I hope I am not one of those sheep despite liking the Fall :(

I was hoping that my unashamed love for old school Metal rekindled your interest;)
 
I do have to say that despite it's apparent disregard for individualism, a truckload of people on here are mindless robots liking the same old hyped banRAB/ albums year in/ year out.

I could actually handle that if they also spouted their opinions on lesser known albums that DIDN'T get hyped but they still liked and wanted to promote.

Even if you are the only person on here to like an album it doesn't mean you should hide it. Heard a release this year that DIDN'T get hyped? Mention it and push it.

Have some balls.
 
This is me.

When I joined this forum, all I listened to was Green Day, I was in transition mode from purity crusader churchie to Hot Toppicore Poseur, and I was fresh out of the psych ward.

Y'all taught me how to form coherent sentences and gave me decent taste. Almost everything I listen to now is because of youtube links posted on this forum. I remeraber somebody posted a Big Black song in some random General Music Thread and I just freaked out about it. I didn't know music like that existed. I decided that every other song I'd heard up to that point was crap.



Almost two years ago and this hasn't really changed.
 
Oh it has

I was sorting out my cd collection the other day & uploaded a load of old Sepultura, Suicidal Tendencies, Megadeth, Cathedral, Danzig & Samhain albums.

I might even go find my old Testament & Exodus albums and do those too.
Oh and I downloaded that Death Angel album you said I should give another chance to.
 
That's kind of how I'm beginning to feel. Besides The Fall I really haven't discovered much in the way of artists through this site, that is artists with whom I have a strong desire to explore their entire discography. I've gotten a lot of albums "just to say know about it" from this website but in the last few months I've really began to analyze myself from a musical standpoint and I've come to this conclusion, I'm a metalhead at heart. While I think I did the right thing by exploring indie rock this year, I got a decent bounty of albums, but metal is where I belong.
 
Bouncy means lively and exuberant with crisp, clean metronomic beats. Those banRAB are so happy to be rocking funk in the free world .. that's how they make me feel anyway. I just don't like that feeling.

I don't hate you just because you like 311. That's something that rab has taught me to not do
 
funny. Weezer is the only band in V&Fs 90s list that i've never been able to get into. just sounded like they were trying to hard to be like the 'cool' kiRAB. instead of just saying 'you know what? f0ck it!' like the actual 'cool' kiRAB did.



as for the whole 'banRAB Janszoon likes' game this has turned into let's try

add n to (x)
mouse on mars

the first 3 i'm pretty much certain the last 2 just seem appropriate.
 
In the short time I've been here I've learned to not care what other people think of my music taste, because in the end there'll always be elitists who think my taste is inferior, when really I just listen to what I like whereas they listen to what makes them sound better.

:D
 
alright, but you have to keep in mind i have a warped upbringing and perspective from the VAST majority of my peers and music fans. plus i fluked out into finding the chili peppers early and ahead of any of 'my' generation's big names before they started hitting big.

by the time Weezer was coming up, grunge and alt-rock was already moving down. the mid 90s got really odd for a little while. everything from downtempo stuff like Air and Portishead were getting airplay next to big beats like the Chemical Brothers or the PropellorheaRAB and between that every other rock band was coming out with an industrialized remix of a failed single.

hearing what's ultimately a 'boohoo i'm still a lonely nerd' Pixies song they didn't write didn't do it for me then. still not really doing it for me now either. i can definitely understand the appeal for a lot of people but really, the Pixies wrote better songs and the Smashing Pumpkins wrote better music.

having said that, your list did prompt me to digitally dust off an oldie
