These ideas are nightmares for white parents, whose worst fear is a child with dyed hair and who likes earrings/Like whatever they say has no bearing, it's so scary in a house that allows no swearing/to see him walking around with his headphones blaring, alone in his own zone, cold and he don't care/He's a problem child, and what bothers him all comes out, when he talks about, his fuckin' dad walkin' out/cuz he just hates him so bad that he blocks him out. If he ever saw him again he'd probably knock him out/His thoughts are wacked, he's mad so he's talkin' back, talkin' black, brainwashed from rock and rap/He sags his pants, do-rags and a stocking cap, his step-father hit him, so he socked him back/and broke his nose, his house is a broken home. There's no control, he just let's his emotions go...

well exactly.
But "most" people get into metal, because of the aggression (i've found)
Hip-hop is just as aggressive

I find hip hop is attacked because
"it takes no talent"
"there's no guitar"
etc.

But if you've ever tried to work a fucking dj machine, you need rythm for that. It's fucking impossible.
Or to rap, i know many don't like rapping (yet you love screaming) But it's actually hard to freestyle.

Agreed, I have tried to mix with turntables - its fucking hard - as it scratching.

rapping aint hard. I've got the chance to scratch on a proper table and its cool to do, very hard though

Just to name a few diverse from metal. And for rap /hip-hop I personally like the Gospel Gangstas. One of their songs "Whatcha Gonna Do" has the most perfect soul vocal arpeggio in it I've ever heard. I love it. It ain't bullshit rap. It's got some soul and reality in it only without the 'bad language'. And some of Alicia Keyes stuff ain't bad either.

"Ahhh do it ! Ahh do it ! Do it to it." --now I've got "Express Yourself" stuck into my head !!

I was comparing it to metal. How some metal bands just scream their heads off. The way some rappers rap is rythm in itself.
It seems I'm not going to change any minds because most of you have already formed your opinions and are gonna stick by them.
It may not be your musical preference, but writing it off as "easy" is just not true.

The only kind of cds I own are metal and classical.
Its kind of hard for me to reply to this since I dont know of any specific bands who arnt metal that I would consider "favorite". I guess the only real input i can make here is that I like classical and maybe some of the older punk. I also found "new age" to be pretty interesting most times i listen to that channel.
It was asked earlier in the thread if time is actually taken to buy these non-metal bands being called favorite... Like i said i only own metal and classical, but i think i would spend money on new age if I found a specific artist who was really appealing.
I just remembered an artist I found who plays celtic "fantasy" music. I loved his music. Maybe some people here have heard him... Bjorn lynne. http://www.lynnemusic.com/returntowitchwood.html
there are some samples there for anybody who wants to hear it. I would buy his stuff but ive never got around to it.
...and i think smashing pumpkins are *good.

i liked the smashing pumpkins, i also thought zwan was pretty good. They had a couple hits on the radio a while back but they died pretty quickly. I like their song "honestly."

I gre up with smashing pumpkins since their from chicago... their better than whats out now i guess

My list would be incredibly long, so I'll sum up.

Most of the classic rock bands that you've already heard of, my absolute favorites being Rush (early stuff is arguably metal), The Who, Bad Company, Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Steely Dan, Van Halen, and Boston. I consider Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple metal, so they don't qualify.

Most of the 'grunge' scene of the early-mid 90's, and I have a constant hardon for Soundgarden and AIC especially.

A lot of varied, late 80's to mid 90's alt-rock... Extreme, Janes Addiction, old RHCP, REM, Beck, Presidents of the USA (Dune Buggy!), Smashing Pumpkins, Blind Melon, etc.

The small, talented and/or innovative percentage of late 80's to late 90's rappers. I haven't listened to much of this in the past 6 months or so, but I go on stretches where I will listen to it about 20% of the time I'm listening to music, sometimes more.

Ice-T, NWA (and all former prominent members), Public Enemy, Ice Cube (deserves a second mention), Wu-Tang Clan, KRS-1/BDP, Onyx, Eric B & Rakim. I really can't stand the new stuff; even if the rapper is supremely talented, the new-style, computerized beats grate on my nerves.

It's cool to hear about other people with broad taste here

I LOVE good movie scores

American Beauty - Thomas Newman
Spirited Away - Joe Hisaishi
Pan's Labyrinth - Javier Navarette
Brick - Nathan Johnson
Shine - David Hirschfelder
Léon - Eric Serra
Children Of Men - John Tavener
The Thin Red Line - Hans Zimmer
Princess Mononoke -Joe Hisaishi
Glory - James Horner
Donnie Darko - Michael Andrews

Those are all worth checking out

Anyone else have really specific obsessions like this?

of course. to name a select few:

Braveheart-James Horner
The Secret Garden-Zbigniew Preisner
Lady in the Water-James Horner

i know you weren't directing that towards me... but its really not that different from some of the metal i listen to. to name a VERY obvious suggestion, check Summoning. the quote in my sig is from them. id recommend anything from Stronghold or Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame.

Yes!

Chris's taste in rap is exceptional. I'm not the only Ice Cube fan on a metal forum.

Anyone listen to classical music? Like Mozart and such?

I've actually studied Musicology at the Utrecht University for about half a year. It was terribly interesting but the subject matter was way to theoretical and grey if you catch my drift. It teaches you extremely thourough in the works of the entire Western music history, from gregorian mass chants to Ciconia, Ockeghem, Bach & Beethoven to Stravinsky & Phillip Glass.

Interesting music to say the least.

__________________

You'll find this chord progression in his other scores, too. Especially near the end of Blood Diamond.



I'll check that out.

Also, about the classical music. A very very strong YES. I am currently majoring in Classical Guitar Performance, although I am switching over to the Media Composition program.

Check out Rachmaninoff's 3rd Piano Concerto

Also, Sheherazade (Rimsky-Korsakov) is fucking magical. That piece should blow classical lovers away.

As well as Ma Mére L'Oye, by Maurice Ravel (strongly recommended).

Doctor, I'm currently taking a Music History (Style/Lit of Western Music) class. I bet I am learning similar subjects to yours.

__________________

Rachmaninoff is hard shit. I can play prelude in c# minor on the piano, the fast parts are sometimes sloppy though. Took me a while to learn.

__________________

shit, I bet so!

Does anybody else like Video Game scores, too?

Bioshock is great, and Silent Hill 2. In fact, for the movie Silent Hill, they just used the music from the games

The score for Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is honestly as good as any full length movie score... it's unbelievable.

I also have recordings of "The Hyrule Orchestra" where they re-recorded music from the Zelda Games. You get to find out how much of a genius Koji Kondo really is. I even like the MIDI music alone

__________________

Yeah, but only old ones for me. I just don't play that many new games except for sports and the occasional fighter.

I happen to love old Sonic, Super Mario Bros. & World, Donkey Kong Country, SF, and Killer Instinct music. My favorites were always SMB3, Sonic 2, and the first three MK games, especially the second. I will actually listen to all of those on midi and occasionally rip wave files of me playing so I can listen later.

OMG! I LOVE JONAS BROTHERS!

naw, i'm just kidding. those "guys" are queers. here are some that i actually like:

ac/dc
rolling stones
eric clapton
jimi hendrix experience
mozart

i also like some blues too.

I never really got the rolling stones. Once my friend played them in the car for a solid hour, and I had a TERRIBLE headache afterward. My ears jut really really refuse their music.

Does anybody else here think that most of the time the people you get along with best are the people that like the same music as you? It's hard for me to fully enjoy being around somebody if I know that they don't like my favorite music, because that usually means they have a very different personality/behavior.

__________________

yeah I think so, but its not always the case. I get a long with people into rock or metal best, the whole mainstream rapper thing kinda pisses me off

__________________

Nah. most of my friends aren't into death metal at all. Actually i've found that most people that i've met that do like death metal aren't the kind of people i really want to hang out with. they're usually just weird haha. Not sayin that's any of you guys, but that's just personal experience out in the real world, not the metaltab world haha

__________________

Yes, for hardcore metalheads I can agree with you. I mainly listen to Tool, Opeth, Metallica, Pantera, or Mastodon when it comes to metal. I really never liked the "classic" stuff, or the new "ARGHBLTHEEJHKGAAAAHHHHH" stuff.

A lot of them are convinced they know absolutely everything about everything, too. So yea, I suppose I am mainly referring to music that you REALLY love.

btw I'm listening to this right now, and it's awesome: FF VII
