Music

Quote from: BanthaPoodoo on December 09, 2009, 07:18:30 PM

Movies and music are completely different mediums. It's harder to judge a movie than it is to judge a song.

It's all purely subjective.  So get back to earning your nickels, boy.

Not really. A movie is longer and has more content than a song, therefore it is going to be harder to judge.

Your retarted

I'm trying to compile a list of as many decent bands possible, so help and suggestions are welcome. I'm creating/expanding my music collection and thus-far, now have the complete albums of these artists:

3 Doors Down
AC/DC
Aha
Antinome
Atomic Babies
Basement Jaxx
Beastie Boys
Beatles
BT
Caesars palace
Cake
Chicane
Crazy Town
Crystal Method
Daft Punk
Darude
Delirium
Dirty Vegas
Disturbed
DJ Sasha
Evanescence
Gorillaz
Guns and Roses
Hive
Hooverphonic
Jem
Lara Fabian
Led Zepplin
Lincoln Park
Maroon 5
Massive Attack
Massive Attack
MGMT
Moby
Muse
Noemi
Nujabes
Offspring
Paul Oakenfold
Prodigy
Propellerheads
Rammstein
Ratatat
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Rob Dougan
Savage Garden
SemiSonic
Smash mouth
Smashing Pumpkins
Sugar Ray
System of a Down
The Killers
Trans-Siberian Orchestra
Weezer
Wham

PS: I'm also taking this as an opportunity to work on naming and sorting the thousands of tracks that were never organized from start. Plenty of them are nameless or identified by track numbers alone from mix CD's. Normally, I've been able to successfully identify them based on their lyrics, but others not. On that note, does anybody know the name of " class="bbc_link" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">this song?

I see that in addition to your list, you have had many suggestions, but I'll give some additional ones and try not to repeat any.

• Rolling Stones  -  (love "Paint it Black")
• CCR
• Aerosmith
• The Doors
• Fleetwood Mac
• Doobie Brothers
• Peter Frampton
• Kansas
• Rod Stewart   -  like all his stuff but early years are best 1971- 77
• The Commodores
• Marvin Gaye   - (although not a band but as a solo artist)
• Jefferson Airplane Or Jefferson Starship   - (changed names a couple times)
• Supertramp   -  (you don't really need their full collection- just greatest hits or best of
• The Who       -  (although not my favorite)
• Heart            -  (particularly the early years)

- like "Baraccuda"; (Gonna go) "Crazy on You"; and "Magic Man" (Try, try try to understand he's the ...magic man)

Note 1:  and if you like blues, or country, or motown - I can name some more.

Note 2:  Someone mentioned Clapton, but if you decide to get the full collection of Clapton stuff you will have to look in 4 places, i.e. "The Yardbirds,"  "Cream,"  "Derek and the Dominoes" and Eric Clapton as a solo artist.[/list]

I love you.

Tangerine Dream motherfucker
Best I have listened to recently

Never heard it but It sounded pretty good.

Or maybe it's because you consider yourself a metalhead and you want to feel unique by listening to bands that no one knows about. Also, I think you have to become desensitized to that horse manure before you can listen to it and actually like it. Not many people would click on that and think "hey, that's really great". 

I clicked on it and Liked it

Metal fans will like the song when they click on it. Just like a rap fan would enjoy the song if he had linked a rap song, and country fans would enjoy it if he had linked a country song. Taste in music is completely subjective.

Your retarted.

Bantha is either trolling or really doesn't understand subjectivity at all.  I'm leaning towards the former, but the latter would not surprise me in the least.

t.A.T.u's music is really catchy, and No Doubt is just great.

See, this is what I mean. If people with terrible taste in music count just as much as everyone else, in the end you are just going to wind up with every band that ever existed on that list.

All the things she said all the things she said running through my head running through my head all the things she said!

That is the only song I listen to by them, usually the Russian version though. Occasionally I'll listen to one or two others by them though, but not often.

@parsec: Tragic Kingdom was an amazing album, only a complete tool wouldn't admit to enjoying at least two songs on it.

I have plenty of hard drive space, and after listening to it I can develop new favorites of my own. I don't mind having a vast library.
Thanks for all the replies guys.

It'll cost a lot to buy all of that music 

Seriously.  I have an 80GB ipod.  If I were to actually purchase that much music, with the average mp3 being 3.5mb, I would end up needing around 23,000 songs to come close to filling it up.  I don't have and probably will never have $23,000 to lay down on music.  Chances are it would end up being a lot more than that.

Nobody's forcing you to do that...

Then maybe you shouldn't posess it.

I have a 16 gb iPod touch.

I will gladly give it to anyone who wants to give me an 80 gb iPod.

Deal.
I will take the iPod Touch off your hands, and in return, I will want to give you something
I don't have.

Never said anybody was, nor that I felt obligated to actually buy music anyway.  Just pointing out a fact.

FLAC is hard to come by so I buy CD's on the odd occasion

If all CD's were 9.99 or lower, had AT LEAST 13 songs and 5 of them were quality... i would have no problem buying CDs

Don't buy a CD unless it's on offer. The one you want inevitably will be in the next year, somewhere.
