General Music Discussion

[Corrian]

I like some Faith No More, but I do believe I like Fantomas more. Also, I like a couple of Peeping Tom songs I've heard. I do think Mike Patton is a pretty damn good vocalist though, and even is a great voice actor. He does the zombie sounds for Left 4 Dead.

Mike Patton is a really good vocalist and can be great sometimes but he's started or at least influenced some unfortunate trends (namely nu metal and pseudo-avant-garde metal like Diablo Swing Orchestra).

Gee man I wonder who showed you the sword

my cat is their bass player duh

[The REAL Glasers]

Grunge is a combination of Punk and Grunge

B=A+B

therefore punk=0?

glasers what the fuck

Too much Grunge discussion for one night.

Diary is the only album of theirs I listen to consistently. But that's okay because it's fucking marvelous.

This.


My favorite song has always been In Circles.

Probably Sometimes for me, the emotion in that song is unreal.

[North Wiedna]

Faith No More is not only fantastic, but not even Funk Metal at all.

That doesn't stop people from calling them funk metal, and The Real Thing is their most popular work.

Tomahawk is his best work, it sounds very natural compared to most of Patton's other works which are a bit forced ie they sound a bit avant-garde for the hell of it. I still love The Director's Cut and Delirium Cordia, though. DC's music is better, but it's got a lot of filler, which is why I'd place The Director's Cut at the top.

DSO are fun to listen to imo

666 is Aphrodite's Child's best album but their others aren't bad. discuss.

Usually doubles are too long but this is really one where it's an exception imo. The music's always changing and if you follow the story while you listen you don't really get bored. only "bad" song is ∞, could've been shortened.

I think it starts off fantastic but it loses the energy and allure ~half way through then it just gets kinda dull but I've only heard it 3 or 4 times.

I forgot about Tomahawk. That's probably some of my favorite Mike Patton stuff, actually.

Yeah, the s/t's amazing, it's got some great songs, but Mit Gas is probs my favorite. The last three songs are bonecrushingly good.

My point isn't whether they're good so much as that you can't accept them as avant-garde unless you're going to accept They Might Be Giants and Ween and stuff as avant-garde too.

I generally like double albums (Lift Yr Skinny Fists, Soundtracks for the Blind, the list could go on). That 666 one you linked to stuff from once or twice and I should probably hear it.

I love music. I can listen to almost everything, and it just makes me feel good. Personally, I think country sucks. I mean, yeah, you're patriotic, that's great. But seriously, if it isn't Johnny Cash, I hate it.
Same with pop. It usually isn't good, but I still find a few songs that I like (but would never tell my friends about).
I would say that all rock, metal, and alternative fall into my spectrum of enjoyment, but this sadly is not the case. I hate Skillet, for example, but if you asked me why, I wouldn't be able to come up with an answer. I wish there was a magical system of genre's that somehow managed to pinpoint everyone's musical tastes, but, sadly, it can't work.

Or maybe it could, but just thinking about my tastes, I see no way to combine Metallica, Cake, Eminem('s older stuff), and Beastie Boys into one genre.

Johnny Cash is great. You might like Townes Van Zandt, Gram Parsons, and the Louvin Brothers as well. They are earlier country artists but they are all very different from any of the other artists of their time. Especially Townes, he was a genius. Kinda sad stuff though. http://youtu.be/sx4PsxUvMqY

And this is Gram with his band.

I really like Mike Patton's album Mondocane. He covers Italian pop songs from the 40's, 50's, and 60's in Italian. And the album he did under the name Lovage, Music To Make Love To Your Old Lady By. But yeah, Tomahawk is great.

As far as country music goes, I like the first one. I'm not a huge country music fan, or of a lot of music before 1990 either. Though, country music from that time is waaaay better then the, in my opinion, mostly (from what I've heard) crap country music of today.

Not really country, but in the same general genre range? (Western, Folk, ect):
Firefly Theme
Jose Ganzelez. Favorite song of his.
Of Monsters and Men
My favorite Johnny Cash song is Hurt
Rodrigo Y Gabriela.

I probably could think of other stuff if I tried more.

I'm not huge into country. I like Johnny Cash, those three artists I mentioned, Ryan Adams, and that's about it. I love Rodrigo Y Gabriela and Jose Gonzelez. Of Monsters and Men is good. I consider those artists to be more folk than country, but it's in the same general area of the spectrum. I also dig Mumford and Sons, the Punch Brothers, and the Avett Brothers.

Oh, and I like the album he did with the Dillinger Escape Plan. Cool songs.

[Oterro]

Captain Beefheart in charge of not having his music taken and completely and utterly improved.

[Azrael]

Should probably bring this thread back up so as to avoid cheap knock-offs.

[North Wiedna]

Suicide are pretty good.

[Stockfield]

Everyone should check out the band Margot & The Nuclear So & So's. You won't regret it.

That's pretty much why I added the folk part, because I knew it was folk music. But I also knew that folk music sort of had the same style sounds as the western and country genre's....though honestly I like folk music better than pretty much any country music I've heard today. But even then, folk music is pretty picky for me.

Crap, how'd I forget to mention Mumford & Sons? They have some really good songs. They did become way over played though. I was just glad to see a talented band become popular, though. It seems rare these days.

I like some of those songs you posted, too.

Also, I thought of a few others that might be considered folk:
Avalanche City. This is probably their most depressing song of the ones I've heard....and my favorite.
Woodkid. Uh....I'm not really sure this is folk or country, but I really don't know what to associate Woodkid with. Anyway, epic song.
The Honey Trees. Not really sure on these guys either.
