its funny cause 'tis a music thread

about Vrai's list: woah, i didnt expect such an eclectic collection there are some pretty good and pretty bad things in there. I used to listen some of those, like Metallica, Nirvana, Megadeth, Rammstein, SOAD, Bush, P.O.D., Slipknot, Green Day(uh-oh, yes, i regret it ), QotSA, RHCP.. (i don't really like these now, but a few of Vrai's stuff are mentioned in the lists below)

anyway, since Vrai started the long list thing, i cant help it: (sorry but i'm a last.fm geek, or whatever you call it, i love music charts/lists. [my profile])

Below is just a time based chart of my overall last.fm stats (meaning the top of what i've been listening to on my computer since september 2007)
(The problem with last.fm is that it generates charts based on how many times you've played a song from an artist, and it doesn't consider how long the song is. I listen to songs that vary in length, from 1 min. to 20-30 min, sometimes even 1 hour. The time based chart aims to correct the errors of the last.fm system)



Anyway, screw last.fm, it fails to list my favorites so i'll list them myself here (in no particular order): (well, the first 4 are really uber alles )

I would just like to point out, since this is a music thread, that "Owl City" is just one dude that plays instruments, and is not a city of owls as the name would imply. Be forewarned.

And what's with all of this modern rock eletronica house smashup pop blech? Does no one listen to classic rock anymore? Journey? The Who? Led Zepplin? Eagles? Blood Sweat & Tears? The Beatles??? I know I'm an old man, but surely there are others that enjoy these timeless artists....

[Seth225]

Timeless artists and classics...

Actually, that would make me even "older", considering that my favorite genre (and my deepest passion) is classical music.

that is admirable.
one of my favorite "genres" is hungarian folk, which is just as timeless (and by folk i don't mean "world music" played by modern artists, but the actual heritage music, with the dances and all the fun.)

king crimson and tool are pretty famous so you could probably include them in the second list. just sayin

yep, but still most people i know never heard of them.

[assdef]

That...is...a...LIE!!!!!

Interesting. That would certainly put you in a rare breed. But also interesting that it is associated with "older" people. I like jazz a lot, and jazz is suffering the same fate that classical music did in the 50s and 60s - being perceived as a "haute" form of music, only for the snobbish/high class. When in reality, a cool jazz groove is just fun to listen too. Classical is much the same way. But I think it has started to make a comeback, maybe? Composers like Philip Glass that are still out there producing music. You probably know more about modern composers than I do.

one of my favorite "genres" is hungarian folk, which is just as timeless (and by folk i don't mean "world music" played by modern artists, but the actual heritage music, with the dances and all the fun.)

So a couple of years ago I was vacationing in Puerto Rico. I met up with a bunch of friends of friends, and we were staying at this beach house. Well, one night, we wandered over to a nearby bar, and they had this awesome local band playing spanish folk music (the heritage kind you're talking about) with all different kind of cool drums and unique instruments and all of the local people just dancing and having a great time. Man, it was awesome. I agree, that sort of music - no matter what your heritage - is really cool. And I think it's cool to be an "outsider" and get to experience it.

tl;dr - Thinger lies, jazz is snappy, and folk is cool.
