Ahhhh. I love it when JP shows up and speaks the gospel.

ummm I could keep going for a very long time on this.

But yes I like wierd Al.

Also like the Rolly Polly Fish Heads song.

Weird Al is the best. Gansta's Paradise still cracks me up.

Celine Dion...ah, I have to admit it!! Yes, I like Celine Dion! *cries*

Basically, I like songs that are easy to listen to. I don't mean Easy Listening, but country songs that have a nice melody and are fun to sing along with. Metal just ends up pissing me off. My husband sometimes listens to Drop Kick Murphys and I just have to leave the room.

yeah, amish paradise. Listed the wrong one. So what is Dropkick Murphys then? Punk rock? I don't care what it is, it offends my sensibilities because it's just noise to me.

A good bit of what Kamjiin likes is just annoying noise to me too. But I try, really really hard to tolerate it, cause I love him.

They are Celtic Punk, or just Punk really.

and if you think they are "noise" then actual metal and you would not get a long at all

Then again, to me country and pop is nothing but noise

DKM's Boston Celtic Punk. I specify Boston 'cause they aren't like Floggin Molly, or other's of their ilk. Boston, makes them harder like Anti-flag are harder than punk 'cause their from Pittsburg.

Actually, I guess that makes it street punk, but I'm not sure if that's a real classification.

Just to list some of my fav's

Black Metal: Cradle of Filth, King Diamond, Venom
Heavy Metal(old): Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax (P.O.T. Rox)
Metal(new): Soulfly, Trivium, LoG, Gojira
Industrial: Fear Factory, Godflesh, Jesu
Rock: AC/DC, Def Leopard
Blues: Taj Mahal, SRV(may cross over to rock), Blues Bros
R&B: Etta James, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald
Rap: Outkast, Cypress Hill, HoP
Country: LeAnne Rimes, Charlie Daniel's band
Punk: Anti-flag, Anything on Fat Wrek Chords or Epitaph
Ska/Reggae: Bob Marley, Ziggy M, The Wailers, Gregory Issacs
Ska/Punk: MM Bosstones, Vodoo Glow Skulls, The Decipitones
Ska/Two Tone: The Specials, Magadog
Nu Metal: Spineshank, Lincoln Park

Best Labels:
Metal: Relapse, RR, Metalblade
Goth/Darkwave: Cleopatra
Punk: FWC, Epitaph, A-F, The Red Archives

I really could go on for a very long time.

Currently, I am incorporating all of my CD's into iTunes. I am at 19.64 GB, 13.5 days, and the last incorporated was all of Fear Factory's albums. I forget who's next in alphabetical order, but there's plenty more.

If you like Fear Factory then check out Threat Signal.

They are like a mix between FF and Meshuggah

I went to their website and listened to two songs: http://www.threatsignal.com/public/audio.aspx

Except for vocals they sound just like Trivium. There are no samples or syths, so I don't think they sound anything like FF.

I like the sound, but they don't sound unique. Maybe some of their other stuff does, I will have to see if I can find any other songs by them.

Go there and listen to "Rational Eyes"

The drumming sounds A LOT like the style of drumming FF uses and when Jon clean sings it sounds like the random clean vocals Burton uses in FF.

Like I said, they sound like FF meets Meshuggah(have you heard them?)

The vocal shouts sound very similar to something off of Obsolete(Man, is Ob So Lete). However, everything else sounds like a mix between Killswitch Engage and Trivium to me.

The riffs remind of a couple of tracks off of Triviums Accendancy album. The vocals really sound like KSE 2nd singer.

I'm never heard Meshuggah.

Moonbase2 wrote:Celine Dion...ah, I have to admit it!! Yes, I like Celine Dion! *cries*

I don't want to seem like I'm blasting someone's tastes, but I never got the appeal for her. I mean, she doesn't have anything to talk about aside from love. Doesn't she have political opinions, something to say about globalization... heck, I'll take a song about the weather over another love ballad.

But that's just me.

Trivium and KSE are more clean sounding and KSE in particular have a higher pitch playing style I think is the phrase I'm looking for.

A different tuning style and all around different style.

I don't see a link between the sound of Howard(KSE) and Jon(Threat Signal)

Anyway, have you heard of Hurt?

I've heard of Hurt Machine, but not a band called Hurt. Are they local or national?

Lately, I've been on a Gojira kick.

They aren't local, they're signed to Capitol I believe.
