I don't know! I don't even listen to bands. I think the concept of "band" is dumb.
--
But I'll try! I don't listen to them all the time but they're great:
- Alarm Will Sound
- Mahavishnu Orchestra
That's my top five.
-
sonic youth john frusciante jimi hendrix wu tang at the drive in
those right now. my "top 5" changes really really frequently
-
This is a pretty honest post because it's statisically what I listen to the most according to last.fm, whether I would tell you I like it the most is a different matter but I guess the numbers represent my tastes better than how I feel due to my current mood now.
Overall I apparently listen to these the most: Coheed and Cambria, Anathema, Porcupine Tree, Nine Inch Nails, Type O Negative
In the last 12 months: Coheed and Cambria, Limp Bizkit, Alkaline Trio, Pineapple Thief, There are Sadists in Academia, VNV Nation, Porcupine Tree, White Lies
The ones in bold are really worth a look if you haven't given them a listen already. Pineapple Thief are a lot like Radiohead when they were good, VNV Nation is electronica that they play in alternative clubs in London. White Lies is the only indie that I like to listen to other than The Killers and they are pretty awesome too.
T.A.S.I.A. is my own music project I am working on, that'll be posted here sometime soon. I dunno if I could be a tosser and get it aired on GW Radio when I do finally finish it but I guess that would be better than a poke in the eye.
Anathema are from where I live, they are the good if you like atmospheric/doom music. One Last Goodbye is an awesome song. Youtube that shit.
I went through a Co&Ca phase which is directly linked to my love of Rush. Rush are fucking incredible.
I love LB because I am pretty obsessed with Wes Borland since he released the album Cruel Melody under the name Black Light Burns. That album is so awesome. There isn't a guitar riff by him that I don't like they are all great. I don't care what anyone says about that, you wanna bitch about it then you can smb. If you want to hear some NIN-ish industrial nu-metal, get hold of that album it's a treat.
I am not a fan of rap or hiphop or RnB or any of that stuff. The only people who listen to that where I live blast it out their cars whilst driving down residential street at 50mph or blast it out of their mobile handsets whilst sitting in a carriage full of people on the train so I've never been friends with anyone who has got me into that kinda music. It's really easy to resent people who listen to it so publically because it's such a sign of aggressive behaviour.

Bands:
5. Ween
4. Mr. Bungle
3. Dinosaur Jr.
2. Morphine
1. The Replacements
Solo
5. David Bowie
4. Mark Lanegan
3. Jeff Buckley
2. Tom Waits
1. Elliott Smith
I also like Jazz, Prog, Psychedelic, Motown, and I'm kind of into Aphex Twin, so I have a kind of bizarre musical taste (or lack of one, I guess) so these lists are probably inaccurate
-
how can you do it? being specific to 5 bands. impossible
-
In no particular order and of the moment...
Anathema
The Cure
My Dying Bride
Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers
The Tea Party
-
atm
Krynitza
Dire Straits
This Will Destroy You
Inkubus Sukkubus
Omnia
Will probably change like next week.
-
Man we haven't had a list topic in while.
Mines pretty consistent but it does change every now and then, this explains my taste pretty well.
Wu Tang <constant
Notorious BIG <constant
*Shels <pretty constant
Novembre <constant
Maudlin of the well (this one will probably change as soon as i find another replacement)
ALSO WHILE EVERYONE IS HERE IM LOOKING FOR SOME GOOD POST ROCK/ATMOSPHERIC STUFF IF ANYONE HAS ANY
here's an example of what i like
-
8) U2
-
yeah it's only possible for me to do top 5 at the moment. I guess I could do overall but it'd be something boring like talking heads mountain goats kate bush bowie and maybe the swedish dagger twins, but I didn't put any thought into that list at all
at the moment: geraldine fibbers, tragic mulatto, dinosaur jr because I just got their new cd
*Shels <pretty constant
-
I have many metallic tastes, so let's choose my favorite band from each genre, and have it on the list:
1. Cloven Hoof (Power metal)
2. Iron Maiden (Heavy metal)
3. Pantera (Groove metal)
4. Metallica (Thrash metal) (Before Cliff Burton died, RIP)
5. Dokken (Hair metal)
-
Tech N9ne
Pasta Troy
Field Mob
Three Six Mafia
Flesh N Bone
-
Ahhh Tech N9ne is sweet.
I don't have a top 5 bands because there isn't really any album with no songs I don't like, but relative to how much of their music I listen to, I'd say probably NoFX, Streetlight Manifesto, gob, Muse, and maybe bis?
-
Three Six Mafia
-
nick cave
wu-tang
pavement
spacemen 3
loop
-
Argh I have terrible taste. My top 5 probably looks something like...
1) Porcupine Tree
2) Mew
3) 65daysofstatic
4) The National
5) Errr IDK, Radiohead or Opeth?
Edit: Oh yeah Ed, imo, White Lies are just a more boring version of Editors, do you ever listen to them at all?
-
Probably uh...
1) Tool
2) Karnivool
3)Live
4)A Perfect Circle
5)Opeth
-
Edit: Oh yeah Ed, imo, White Lies are just a more boring version of Editors, do you ever listen to them at all?
i'd say a less boring version but i appreciate the sentiment!
-
Six of one and half a dozen of the other.

Let's see, my favorite bands (aside from #1) are constantly changing. 6-9 months ago I was listening to a lot of hip-hop and electronica (especially trip-hop) and my list would have been fairly different, before that I was really digging some new post-punk, industrial and ebm shiz, and before that it was some metal (sludge and prog metal mostly), ambient and post-hardcore... I go through these cycles where I usually focus on a few genres mostly although I do listen to other stuff and old favorites as well. Lately I have been trying to limit getting new music and just revisit old favorites and artists I haven't listened to enough. My list is a mix of all-time favorites and recent favorites:
Porcupine Tree
Well, it's my all-time favorite band, simple as that. There are few bands which have evolved and changed their sound as much as Porcupine Tree have and still always maintained the high quality of their work with so much consistency and variety in each album. And their sound just clicks with me perfectly. It's very textural with lots of layers and it's not something you'll appreciate right away even though generally their music is fairly accessible. There are so many subtleties in their songs that you simply cannot be conscious of them until you have heard the songs at least a few times, sometimes even dozens of times. People often fail to realize how many genres Porcupine Tree's music actually covers because they are very subtle about it, it all fits the music and doesn't sound out of place. For someone like me who enjoys both classic and modern progressive/alternative rock, electronic and ambient music, psychedelic rock and metal (the good kind :cool:), PT has a lot to offer. They also have minor elements from other genres as well and that's another reason why I think their music has so much variety especially if you look at their whole discography. I also think they are liberally experimental, managing to be accessible and poppy while playing around with lots of cool out-of-norm ideas. And most of all, I like the fact how they stress songwriting and soundscapes over technical skill, complex solos and just generally unnecessary wankery, placing emotion above all else. I probably could go on forever but that's pretty much sums it up I suppose. Admittedly their lyrics could be better though, while I like a lot of their lyrics they also have some cringeworthy stuff but gladly the lyrics never get so bad it'd be distracting.
Nine Inch Nails
I have been a fan of Nine Inch Nails for years but it wasn't until this year they really clicked with me, and I mean really! Like Steven Wilson with Porcupine Tree, I think Trent Reznor has managed to create something truly unique with Nine Inch Nails. I often see people dissing Nine Inch Nails saying how it's not true industrial music. A friend of mine complains how it's actually just poppy and accessible rock. So what? I didn't know it's a bad thing to combine different genres together to create something completely new and manage to be poppy and accessible while you do it. I think Trent Reznor is nothing short of a genius and he's pretty much one of the coolest people in the whole music industry, period. Also, while NIN might have their own little niche going on, all of their albums have a clearly different and distinctive sound. Another thing I think Steven Wilson and Trent Reznor share in common is that they aren't your average musicians but they are both fantastic producers and multi-instrumentalists as well and they excel at creating unique soundscapes different from anything else you've heard. I'm not saying everyone needs to like their music or respect it but that's something I really enjoy about Nine Inch Nails, the sound they have going on is just unique and Trent Reznor can do so many cool things with rock and electronic music that it's unbelievable. I could probably try to list all kinds of cool things NIN have going on in their songs but it's impossible to put it in words. It's just unique and very, very cool. I think The Fragile is their masterpiece and it shows what continuity and consistency is all about. Almost every NIN release is really good though and that's why fans have completely different favorite releases which speaks for the consistency of Trent Reznor's work. It's kinda interesting how similar he and Steven Wilson are in some ways as they share many same views and have a similar approach to music. Also me liking NIN as much as I do shows that it's a band you can't be too quick to judge because for the longest time I didn't see any huge appeal in them. Now I do, and I'm so glad about it.
Archive
This is one of those recent favorites as I discovered Archive in early 2009. I don't really have too much to say about them but everyone should check them out, Archive are a fucking fantastic band. Their stuff varies from trip-hop and rock to pop, hip-hop and even some proggier stuff. Their first album Londinium is one of the best trip-hop albums I have heard and a true masterpiece in electronic music. It has a fair amount of rapping as well. They have gone through various singers and while usually this is a bad thing, it has brought some really nice variety to Archive's music as all of their vocalists have been good in my books. I really recommend their latest album Controlling Crowds as it's their strongest and most consistent album so far. It has a great deal of variety as well with three vocalists, a male lead vocalists, a female vocalist and a rapper, styles including electronica, rock, hip-hop, britpop and even some jazz. It's quite a melodic album with lots of fantastic moments and it flows like a good soundtrack. It's a long album but a very strong one as well. Londinium is another album I'd highly recommend and You All Look the Same to Me is another masterpiece with that proggier side I was speaking of. But really, all their albums are good.
dälek
Really fucking awesome noisy hip-hop! Been a fan since I heard Abandoned Language in 2007 around when I started to get into hip-hop. I know dälek can appeal to people who aren't necessarily into hip-hop because I know lots of people who like them despite not being a fan of hip-hop in general. Basically they are just kind of weird and out there and their stuff is pretty abstract and it's definitely not everyone's cup of tea. I missed seeing them live in Spring but gladly they are opening for ISIS (what a weird combination, eh) and I'm going to be seeing them in November so I'm really happy about that. Anyway, check them out if you like your hip-hop with originality. It's really fucking cool, that's all there is to it.
Pink Floyd
Back when I still listened to a lot of 70's prog, Pink Floyd was that one band I never really got into and I found them extremely overrated. I have started to get into them slowly but surely and I absolutely fell in love with them this summer. It's weird because I have heard most of their albums many times and now that I listen to them again, I just see them in such a different light. They are such a fantastic band and it's so hard to fathom how I didn't like them before. They are the only 70's prog band I listen to regularly nowadays with some King Crimson and Jethro Tull thrown in every now and then. I don't really have any favorite overall artists list and this list represents artists I really like right now or artists I have enjoyed the most thorough 2009 but if I did try to make a list of overall artists, I'm not sure if Pink Floyd would rank this high but they are definitely the band I have listened to most since early summer!
And some artists which didn't make the cut: Tool, Snowman, Pain of Salvation, Sage Francis, VNV Nation, K'naan, mewithoutYou, Mastodon, Sneaker Pimps, The Cure, XTC...
I dunno, even though some of my all-time favorite artists are artists I have listened to years and still love them, I really think it's impossible for me to name any favorite genres anymore. I honestly believe I'm quite eclectic when it comes to music. Some genres more than others, naturally.

by far the best joke post in this topic

man i don't really accept that shit you pulled at the beginning of this topic guys. so what if most of them are from related?!? maybe he likes that kind of music?
dude lot of my favourite bands are exactly from last.fm ALTERNATE FOLK list plus the recent additions from (dunduun, yours truly) pitchfork, Ed Askew and Here We Go Magic. you guys suck!!!
tbh i don't like most of the alt.folk artists, at least so far.

yes

I went through a Co&Ca phase which is directly linked to my love of Rush. Rush are fucking incredible.
I'm glad someone else made that connection. I know some people that would become physically sick if I mentioned this, but Coheed is kind of like Rush for a new generation. I've been listening a good bit as well.

A Wilhelm Scream, Minus the Bear, Pearl Jam, Queen, Old Crow Medicine Show
un deux trois quatre cinq

man I can't list like top five bands... I'd run out of time just with the gong family! Also I dunno, let's try some
Gong/Daevid Allen/ Acid Mothers Gong/Planet Gong/University of Errors/New York Gong/Glissando Orchestra/Steve Hillage band/blahblah blahblah(see what I mean) basically The Gong Family. Kinda a main constant. Jazz influenced heavy psychey space rock. With lyrics about pixies and teapots. Also some great freakouts and some great ambiant chills when needed. Love that glissando.
Frank Zappa. Funny, great songwriting, doesn't take himself too seriously, groovy tunes, interesting guitar technique. Fun and enjoyable and interesting music.
Kevin Ayers. Most laidback songwriter ever, going from folk to at times near avant guard. Very unique sound. It's reaching for pop but not quite getting there as he's too lazy to follow it all through, leading to some strange wonderful musical meanders.
Miles Davis. Did it all, be-bop, modal, cool, fusion/electric, and on his last album, hip-hop. He keeps his music fresh and interesting.
Acid Mothers TempleOuter space cosmic freak-outs and grooves at a level only obtained previously by Brainticket's Cottonwoodhill or Planet Gong's Mama Maya Mantram. Pure glorious cachophony. Pink Lady Lemonade is A+++
Honourable mentions: Hatfield and The North, Captain Beefheart, Brainticket/Joe Vandroogenbroeck, Robert Wyatt, Ash Ra Tempel, funkadelic, Sun Ra, Hawkwind, Tom Waits, Ornette Coleman... I better stop before I go on forever.

by far the best joke post in this topic
YOU are a joke.
-
@Bumblebeeman - I think it's more the other way around, but that is in my opinion. I got into WL about 2 months ago when I lived with my friend cause my parents kicked me out. They sound really epic, as epic as indie can be anyway.
@DS - I am gonna get some dalek and Archive and give them a listen as we are SUPER compatible.
@Cockswain + Allen Hunter :shrug:
-
dalek is good but archive is kind of boring like they have some good songs but nothing you should go out your way for

Maybe I'll give them a re-listen! I was listening to Editors quite a lot when I listened to WL so I was probably listening with skepticism and bias!

Isn't it boring to listen to the same kind of stuff over and over again?
-
YOU are a joke.
haha actually Captain Chekhov is right in this one, haha
-
Frank Zappa. Funny, great songwriting, doesn't take himself too seriously, groovy tunes, interesting guitar technique. Fun and enjoyable and interesting music
Yes.
-
haha actually Captain Chekhov is right in this one, haha
I'm sorry that each and everyone has their own musical tastes. =\
-
You're on the same level as almost everyone else here who listens to 100 bands that sound exactly the same , don't worry
-
1) X Japan
2) Kamelot
3) Luna Sea
4) Nightwish
5) dredg
-
I listen to the meatspin song every morning when I get up. It makes me feel so alive. Good morning GW.

Isn't it boring to listen to the same kind of stuff over and over again?
what? if you are referring to me then i listen to lots of stuff. i like lots of stuff. those few artists i listed here have just impressed me enough to influence me.
it's sort of annoying/disgusting that i refer to a LAST.FM GENRE myself but i do it for the sake of practicality (i mean man it's mostly INDIE FOLK in that list and i kind of dislike that kind of stuff. i have a rant about that but maybe some other time!)
or the real reason is that once again i'm dismissive of my own taste, thus "heh....... see? my music taste, it's all in one genre. can't take seriously..."
on the other hand, if you mean Shepperd then i'm not sure how much he listens to other bands but my guess is that he likes this certain musical rhetorics/esthetics those band share in a way or another. SOUND i suppose. maybe he listens to other similiar bands, it's hard to tell from a list of five!
-
genres arent interesting to me because most of the time they all do sound the same and theres not a lot of interesting stuff to dig into just one genre. artists interest me

I didn't refer to you or shepperd but there are a lot of people who listen to the same band with different names and think their musical taste is varied and I think you won't get enough aural vitamins doing that
-
I'm sorry that each and everyone has their own musical tastes. =\
hey bro do you need the coastguard
your boat don't hold water
-
I'm sorry that each and everyone has their own musical tastes. =\
yeah, me too
-
why are you guys being dicks anyway allen likes jazz and opera too
-
too hard to list TOP 5 OF ALL TIME... currently though:
the mars volta - loved this band since tremulant. haven't been disappointed by any of their albums. maybe i'm just a fanboy....
scale the summit - instrumental prog metal.
lightning bolt - earthly delights leaked recently. it's good.
the samuel jackson five - i don't listen to much post-rock but these guys are pretty good.
omar rodriguez lopez - old money and a manual dexterity are great
also shep i think you might enjoy Zombi, they're a SPACE ROCK duo.
-
This is an interesting topic. People should upload 5 songs their favourite bands as well though cause some of these don't have anything on youtube and I don't have spotify to check them out (yes, it's a hint to you to give me an invite >_>).
I have a pretty weird taste that changes drastically (I mean.. I listen to black metal exclusively during winter haha) depending on my mood but here's some bands I've been listening to frequently recently.
Cloroform - Check out Kaada if you like Mike Patton. This guy is a musical genious and even though his music's pretty hard to listen to, he's been a real inspiration to me lately (and I'm pretty awesome sooo...).
SoaD - Been listening to all of their albums recently. Simple, effective and brings alot of adrenaline.
BringTheWarHome - Probably my favourite singer right now (Peter Dolving, angry singer in a metal band named The Haunted that knows how to sing country, pop and other shit as well).
Duke Special - Kinda unmanly music, but I love this dude and he's my hero >_>
RHCP - Funky roadtripping music that makes me think of travelling and not care about anything else. I like their newer stuff more than the old ones though.
-
church thx for recommend.
so bonehead because you say so, I'll link 5 youtubes
1) Animal Collective - Fireworks

You all know who I am
,
Cardiacs
http://www.myspace.com/cardiacs
Been my favorite band for a while now. I don't really know why I like them because they really suck and I thought so when I first listened, but somehow I really love them.
Hermit Thrushes
http://www.myspace.com/hermitthrushes
I just got into this band cause they played a show at a local DIY venue and they fucking awesome. They performed naked which was a bit weird to be honest, but the music is great. Great experimental pop-rock.
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum
http://www.myspace.com/sleepytimegorillamuseum
Metal is usually a really shitty genre, thankful SGM isn't really metal.
Girl Band
http://www.myspace.com/girlbandsb
They're probably not that interesting, but they're my favorite and they sing some pretty cool vocal harmonies hella loud.
I can't really think of a 5th band but somebands that I would like to put here: Mew, My Bloody Valentine, Snowman, Liars, System of a Down, http://www.myspace.com/togetherpangea, http://www.myspace.com/margypepper, http://www.myspace.com/kitchentheband

Same, I agree. I'm a closeted My Chemical Romance fan, and stuff. Let me get my scene shoes so I can prove it. XxXxXxXx... ouch, that fucking hurt. (But I enjoy pain even though I don't really get into hot and sexy BDSM because I just prefer miserable pain)
Miley Cyrus is so dam phYne, I AgReE! She rox out better than lead seplynn && da beetols. I dant kar3 eph shee did dat pol dans.
-
1. Jeffrey Starr
2. Slayer
3. Def Leppard
4. Louis Armstrong
5. ICP
-
Tom Waits, Danzig, Nirvana, Sonic Youth, AFI
That's just the very top five based on frequency of listening and duration of exposure. If I open it up to ten, then more of the music I drive around to a lot comes into play - Rammstein, Morrissey, Lacuna Coil, Joy Division, Son of Sam (Into the Night Era).
Right now I'm listening to some of Tree's stuff again. Every now and then I get into a phase where I have to hear Cemetary, Paper, X-Communicated, Death Wish (not the Christian Death song), Put the Wood to Her, and Hate Still Burns. If none of those song titles sounds familiar, try checking the band out - they (were) Boston Environmentalist Hardcore.
Tree - Deathwish
I saw Tree when they were touring with Clutch and Vision of Disorder. River (singer) stuck a dollar bill on his forehead during the "Put a price on your life" refrain in 'Paper', and during the break he set it on fire and threw it into the crowd (they'd cleared out to make room) and then when the song came back in everyone was stomping on it. I actually moshed with him some during Clutch's set, he almost clipped me with a roundhouse kick.
It was interesting, because for a while, at least in their scene, Tree were starting to get big. Before Staind (ugh, every song the same) started to become recognized, they used to open for Tree a lot. Then, things changed and Tree got to open for them
When my band played a show with a band from the Boston area (26 Beers), Tree came up in the conversation because I mentioned wanting to do a cover of Hate Still Burns or Death Wish. They said they thought Tree was going to be getting back together, or for a couple of shows at least... but I don't know if it ever materialized. 26 Beers are good guys too, I joined in on a mic when they did a Misfits cover, it was cool.
Apparently River is in another band now, and that is pretty decent too.
Anyway - end of Tree/Boston Hardcore tangent.

You dont care if she did the pole dance? WTF MAN?? We have to save her! The Disney corporation is using her to drive the minds of the people into madness by awakening our primal instincts by constantly stimulating our sexual desires...I made up my mind... I will save her from becoming a toy! And no I am not just some lunatic fan who wants to bang her!... I bang anyone ;)
-
RUSH
Iron Maiden
AcDc
Bullet for My Valentine
Rise Against ( Pre Appeal to reason)

-
oohhh this is tough. hmm
1. Conor Oberst (includes Desparacidos, Bright Eyes, Mystic Valley Band)
2. Tally Hall
uhh after there it gets a little fuzzy in terms of order/numbering... but the other bands/people would be something liiike:
Modest Mouse
Jason Mraz (mostly the older stuff though; he's too "pop" these days)
Antic Cafe (japanese visual kei band. love them)
Akron\Family
Tom Waits
Blink 182
The Cure (love)
Taking Back Sunday (emo lololol)
Leonard Cohen
Maximum the Hormone (japanese rock/metal??)
The Mountain Goats
Nana Grizol (obscure)
Flight of the Conchords
Girls Generation (korean band that sings the song "GEE GEE GEE GEE BABY BABY BABY" (look it up))
in terms of genre, i like pretty much everything. that would mostly include indie, rock, j-rock, metal, folk, emo, punk, musical theatre, videogame and anime soundtracks, etc... i like a lot of stuff.

They are more experimental folk, but they are very cool thanks! I think DS would like this.
-
1. Opeth
2. Tool
3. Death
4. Yyrkoon
5. Hard to pick, I guess Deicide or Slayer or anything thrashy
Also I hate people with high opinions of their music and who call down other people's music because it's so much different from their own.. Like I have nothing against any genre really I even mellow out to rap music considering all of my friends listen to that stuff, and I basically have to listen to it while having a beer or something. But yeah, everyone has their tastes, no need to argue about it.

as of right now atleast

This is an impossible question for me because I'm pretty weird about music. What I listen to today, I'll probably throw to the wayside in a week or two, and possibly pick it up again the next month. Some weeks I can only tolerate news radio, and fuck all the music. I don't understand how people can make a Top 5 Band List.
edit: Only bands that I can say I've listened to with any regularity are Led Zeppelin and Fugazi. I'm really bored with Zep now, but I appreciate their talent.

I could see that also.

haha that's really awesome. don't care for the guitar solo, but the rest is really cool. can't believe i've not heard of this band.
i like this song too:

Man we haven't had a list topic in while.
Mines pretty consistent but it does change every now and then, this explains my taste pretty well.
Wu Tang <constant
Notorious BIG <constant
*Shels <pretty constant
Novembre <constant
Maudlin of the well (this one will probably change as soon as i find another replacement)
ALSO WHILE EVERYONE IS HERE IM LOOKING FOR SOME GOOD POST ROCK/ATMOSPHERIC STUFF IF ANYONE HAS ANY
here's an example of what i like
btw
5. *Shels Studio Update
September 3, 2009
“Thanks for all your patience and positive emails – we’ve been busily working on the new record and aiming to get it done in this summer – we know that if we went any slower we’d prob start moving backwards in time, but there’s just so much going into this record and we don’t want to rush it – we hope you’ll still be around when we finally wrap this up! We’re currently recording guitars and have been experimenting with lots of different sounds and setups… we should hopefully have everything wrapped up in the next month or so – everything is feeling awesome so far … we just can’t wait to share it with you. Thanks for your continued patience and support – we hope it’ll be worth the wait!” *shels

1. Say Anything - Max Bemis is a brilliant lyricist...probably because he's nuts.
2. Dashboard Confessional - Screw you, I like them (him).
3. The Offspring - Lots of highs and lows, but easily my favorite punk band ever.
4. Rise Against - These guys are a close second. Tim's voice is incredible.
5. Red Hot Chili Peppers - I prefer their more melodic stuff to their old funky stuff actually; love everything Californication and after, but their early stuff is fun too.

hey earl want to come over and listen to records and cuddle?
-
no I was naming your favorite music, I won't touch that "alternative" shit.
-
I don't particularly like the swans too much and T.I. is only fun background music.
replace them with Hot Snakes and Wutang/ODB/Busta Rhymes and you've got me pegged
-
just kidding, all I do is listen to Art Ensemble of Chicago and CAN on shuffle and repeat in iTunes all day every day
-
john cage, philip glass, terry riley, T.I. , red hot chili peppers
-
busta rhymes up in the place true indeeeeda
maybe it was thecatamites and steel talking about swans. they are good I guess but I don't even know if I got a good album and I don't have it anymore.

they're one of those bands that I've been told I SHOULD like but every time I've listened to them I've always thought they were boring. I guess eventually I'll be all about that shit.
