No, you have two preferred genres.

Just because you like one band from a different genre doesn't mean you have a preference for said genre, though.

Like just because I like one mainstream pop band doesn't mean I have a preferred taste for cookie cutter pop all of a sudden.

I think its time I make lists of favorite albums by bands with a long list of albums I've listened to. Like more than 5.

That thong song haha

"Militannia the Eternal"

Nations have risen and fallen like waves in the sea
Such a fate will never befall our mighty country
For the strength of our leader,
the strength of our people,
the strength of our military will NEVER falter
and will NEVER become like the calm sea!

Our Rise
Our Ascension
Our Conquest
Never questioned
For we are immortals!

To Militannia
the Eternal!

Holy shit. If you thought Blackstar was ominous enough, since it clearly foreshadowed his death and he died a week after releasing it to then have people listen to it again and realize all the subtle references (And the clear music video describing how he felt as he was on his death bed, and him disappearing into the closet), how about the fact he deliberately wrote music to be released after his death?

Well, it exists, and the lyrics are equally trippy. And the music video ends with nothing but footage of a rocket taking off into space.

Not to be cheesy but I got god damn goosebumps.

Too bad my voice sounds like shit because I think I could be decent if I could sing. I can do fairly alright with attempting to sing a variety of things, as in I can be varied, I just...sound like crap.

Its fun trying to sing a variety anyway.

That moment you realize you've been typing the name Slowdive wrong this whole time. How the hell did I not realize? I seriously thought it was Slowdrive this whole time. Ugh, how do I read shit wrong all the time.

Its like me thinking Cosumar was Consumar for years. Damn minds playing tricks on you.

One of the songs is surprisingly heavy.

Quality isn't great but I like the first song on the new Dalek album. Off to a good start.

Westeastern Dicantia wrote:I like to listen to music and stuff while I play racing games, are there any songs or styles you guys like to put on while you drive?

I think I just usually let the music of the game play, no matter how shitty it usually is. I really should put something on, though. Not sure what I would put.

I did put music that felt the best for GTA V in that game, for "Self Radio". Though some of it was just weird on there, but I wanted a variety.

I think U2's The Joshua Tree album is very good road trip material. It might be most effective if you're driving through the US desert or at least warmer temperatures and sunnier weather.

I don't know if I'm just tired of Alcest, but Alcest doesn't hugely interest me anymore, even when he supposedly "got good" again. I like it better than the previous album, though, I just think this style isn't appealing to me for much beyond a couple of really good albums (Most hardcore fans know which I'm talking about)

I didn't care for the new Alcest either. I still love the first two albums though.
