Hard rock is all i have been listening to of lately along with a few others world music but rock is my soul......i could never go wrong with evanesence, linkin park, disturb (these guys are crazy) ahhh metallica (well i only love one of their songs called Unforgiven 2) Seether seems to be a good band,,, Shotdown who's hit to me is "45" is rocking. A perfect circle is pretty good, Mudvayne is good....System of a down is off the hizzle. I discovered Breaking Benjamin who had a hit to me called Cold and a next song DK told me to listen to called Blown away.

Institute [ former lead signer of bush gavin rusdale hits up new group which is hard as steel ], Linkin park, Evanesence, Three Days Grace, Stained, incubus, 3 doors down, papa roach [ old stuff though not new ]. many more as well. But right now if i should chose one It would be linkin park, I mean they got the most tracks out that i love. And its not always the same old ish over and over again.

Buffy, which Kelly you talking about?

iamnathan
12-27-2005, 02:05 PM
She tries too hard to be taken seriously. She should be like John Mayer and admit that her fans are Pop fan.

12-27-2005, 02:30 PM
but i'm not a pop fan.and i listen to avril so i guess your wrong. :blink

Head Automatica
Element Eighty


never ever heard of those....what do they sound like?

thelokat
03-14-2006, 12:45 PM
boop bap boop boop beep bap!

*glares*

how exactly am i supposed to tell you what they sound like? lol

head automatica is a lighter band that makes heavy use of their drummer, i would compare the vocalist somewhat like certain cky songs and MCR

Element Eighty had a song on the nfsu sound track...Broken Promises, if you've played the game you will remember it, i can't explain this band that easily so go "buy" *cough*download*cough* some albums

Hmm listen to all you all have mentioned so far including also, Carbon leaf, HIM, Bleed the dream was it..., Within temptation ( I highly recomend "Jillian" From these guys), Let's see also a few Japanese rock bands that I can't remember the names. Bah must check when I get home.
But for the most part I don't even really take note or even care about the band names I just listen to the song. Still don't know who sings most of the songs one my comp. Oh yes must remember "The calling" Though I only got two sings from em bullet for my Valentine.
The really really heavy stuff like the last mention here, I don't so much listen to the lyrics cause well they shout quiet often but you have to admit these guys tend to have excellent rythm.
As for a favorite from all of these... I've tried and can't pick one.

.......Every one loves Avril woot! XD

Well, i must say lately i find myself listeningto linkin park, been listening to evanesence and i like my chemical romance alot and i can't leave out metalicaand fall out boy beem doing something good. all geeks but very versitile with there words in the songs.

thelokat
03-14-2006, 07:53 PM
why does everyone listen to only light music :( ...come ON people...fall out boy? o.O!!

@omega - the lyrics for heavier songs are kinda harder to understand...it's either A) there was no original intent behind the lyrics, just people randomly spitting words or B) you have to understand where the band is coming from and listen to the lyrics deeply and going off of more the unsaid words rather than literal

Lexlimitless
03-14-2006, 10:02 PM
Yes i agree with ^ most songs are good 2 me because they dont blurt out the message, u have 2 listen in 2 understand. thats why i rate Disturbed, korn, slipknot and dem ppl dere, looking for more heavy people so u can help me out thelokat. i also listen 2 AFI on occasion

thelokat
03-15-2006, 01:16 AM
i have never listened to an AFI song and i refuse for no good reason, lol

but yeah lex if you go a page back i took a screenshot of my rock albums (some of them are more than one albums under just the band name)

trying to build back my collection, list out your fave bands lex (please don't let this be a mainstream letdown)

p.s. i also listen to a lot of lighter bands as well, just not as often, a lil linkin park or trapt or 3 doors down is good for the ears

@omega - B) you have to understand where the band is coming from and listen to the lyrics deeply and going off of more the unsaid words rather than literal

And that is the reason why I listen to the heavy stuff.

thelokat
03-15-2006, 12:25 PM
kudos then, if you have a good collection then i gonna have to try reach that sharing is caring thing and get them from you

Omega X
03-15-2006, 02:28 PM
And why would I want to care? lol joking, my collection is not too extensive at the moment because I had to stop downloading music. Hard drive was too full but I should have around 60 good songs. I'll see what I can work out and let you know.

thelokat
03-16-2006, 11:30 AM

Omega X
03-19-2006, 03:55 PM
60 good songs...*points and laughs at omega*
Hey hey that's only in the Heavy metal section. I got 200+ rock, and well all the music comes up to 10+ GB that is still small but no pointing and laughing or you'll lose the finger.
Anyway I have some form "Bleed the Dream" and "Bullet for my valentine" want any of those?

Oh yeah I don't think I saw them mentioned here by SR-71 is a great band and Sum 41.
for SR-71 I recommend "My World", "Goodbye" and "Tomorrow"

thelokat
03-20-2006, 10:09 AM
i heard bullet for my valentine is good...then again that was from someone who listened primarily to emo...new bands(for me) that i think are ok

bush - pretty decent band
breaking benjamin - nothing to write home about...kinda suck actually
sepultura - just go em yesterday, decent so far, kinda heavy
rob zombie - he's always been the big man but i got a new album yesterday, "educated horses", renewed my faith in him
demon hunter - again just a semi-generic band, but they still sound quite fine

Malloc-X
03-20-2006, 04:27 PM
current faves are nickel back, 3 doors down and trapt

Omega X
03-20-2006, 04:52 PM
Good Choice there.
Far away, Here without you and Echo

Anyway since they are your favorite mind recommended some other good songs from them. It's getting rather truoblesome for me searching. Keep stumbling on the not so good ones.

thelokat
05-02-2006, 01:01 PM
