odd topic eh? just seeing if you people are strictly metal heads or not. I know I'm not.

I really like the postal service, the cure, cursive, and (here's the embarrisingly emo side of me) Death cab for cutie, and Brand new.

now now people, it's your turn, what bands that are NOT metal that you enjoy?

And younguitarist mentioned Days Of The New! Are they still doing stuff, I've not heard owt from them for years!!!!

There's just so much cool stuff and not enough time to listen to it all!!!!
And there's some new names listed that I'm gonna have to check out!

__________________

yeah ella fitzgerald rules...I love queen too. i felt so stupid last year cuz I decided not to do choir and they sang bohemian rhapsody at the spring concert...argh!


still no takers on "the faint"?

__________________

Portishead, Dead Can Dance, Smashing Pumpkins (Though Billy Corgan is the beiggest fuckhead) there are more. Like Joy Division and The Cure.

Portishead are cool. Some Massive Attack and Tricky is pretty good, too.

__________________

bohemian rhapsody.. what a wonderful song (i just watched waynes world the other night and have been listening to bohemian rhapsody alot)

__________________

Well here's my list:
AC/DC
Guns N' Roses(the old ones, no the new)
Bon Jovi
Joe Satriani

I'm sure i forgot some bands but this is my list for now.

the old ones? are you talking about velvet revolver? the sort of "spinoff" band? or just their older stuff?

__________________

no i was talking bout the old GNR songs.

welcome to the jungle may be extremely over played and used in anything but that song is fucking awesome

__________________

I like a lot of stuff mentioned before so there's no point repeating it.
Things I like a lot ( and not mentioned before):
Kwartet Jorgi
Warsaw Village Band
Orkiestra Antyczna (Antic Orchestra)-Gardzienice - Metamorfozy - Music of Ancient Greece
When I got tired of modern music I started too seek for something diferent and that's what i found.
These three bands are my nr 1 in case of traditional music. Forget about all those "folk" bands playing pop-like music. Warsaw Village Band won BBC World Music Prize so it might be easy to check it for all of You.

Orkiestra Antyczna is something i strongly recomend for all people interested in antic music ( especially all Nile fans) Group is playing antic instruments reconstructed by Maciej Rychły. All songs are original antic greek music. IMO that music is absolutely briliant. Here's one song in mp3:
http://mp3.wp.pl/p/strefa/sciagnij/42081.mp3
one of "lighter" songs. Some seem to me like ritual music:]
if i find something in english about them I'll post it here.

there are too many to list....

but to name some:
Brad Mehldau (best modern jazz pianist I have ever seen)
Aphex Twins (creative chill out music)
Bartok (Progressive Classical music)

__________________

im listening now,to that song. its very nice, and some of the vocal harmonies sound a bit like a tape warping... have you noticed that? they sound ALMOST off key...its very interesting stuff , post some more about where i can listen to these guys?

and if you like brad mehldau, youd probably like bill evans. for the love of all things holy get a copy of bill evans- alone

__________________

Pink Floyd, Led Zep, Tool, Deftones, Smashing Pumpkins, APC, Porcupine Tree, Guns n Roses, some Audioslave, Kyuss, Queens of the Stone Age, Oasis, some Red Hot Chilli Peppers, SOAD (up to toxicity), Placebo, sublime...

All I can think of right now.

__________________

Iwill.:]
Yeah that was their purpose. Iread interview with Maciej Rychły( he's "music archeologist" he reconstructed neolith instruments, and his knowledge about music is amazing) about preparations before recording. he said that it may sound quite strange for the listener because those harmonies are not used in modern music. Quite interesting for me was use of "biały śpiew" (white singing) which is traditional way of singing among middle-western slavs. it's melodic screaming. I can't describe it better.
http://mp3.wp.pl/p/strefa/sciagnij/42079.mp3
That's second one. Rest is available on Emule. If someon want to download it connecto to razorback 2.
Trans i'll send You some of their songs i really like.
http://www.gardzienice.art.pl/en/pr...ra_antyczna.htm - something about them in english.

i dont know what emule is, but i dont have it either :P if you have AIM you can contact me on that...but i bet you dont. i might be able to get a hold of it through DC++ or something

__________________

i like those 5

EDIT: yes, system of a down are shit now. utter shit. but albums 1 and 2 were good.

__________________

Trans I sent you 2 songs on email adress form which you sent me Svierszcz speech.

__________________

Does ambient count as non-metal? What about industrial?

Um, portishead, the pharcyde, dj tomcraft, aphex twin, locust toybox and radiohead i suppose. Yeah, go eat cunt.

__________________

The entire album kicks ass.
I can play most of it. Minus leads of course.

Couldn't diagree with you more.Ganted I've only heard two of the new songs,this sounds like their best album and I own them all(except the new one).I fucking hated Toxicity.

tak!!! i liked the other one too


ambient is non metal, dame. what the hell are you thinking? haha of course

i like radiohead too sars

__________________

It sure is.

you mean the new one? fuck.. i owned it listened to is, was extremely disapointed, listened to it 2 more times to see if it'd grow on me, it didnt, i ripped the music onto my iTunes, then i traded it in for sabbath's paranoid but yeah it sucked if thats the album you meant.

__________________

The one I'm talking about has BYOB and Cigaro,didn't care for cigaro but byob is the only song I can listen to of them.I guess I won't be buying the new album then.

B.Y.O.B. did atract me to the album. good song. cigaro's not that great, but the rest of the album is worse. but revenga is good. so b.y.o.b. and revenga are the only good ones, imo

__________________

byob is indeed an awesome song. but my friends all told me the rest of the album is shize so I passed on that one. Wow I'm surprised that STILL nobody else has mentioned the faint.....so I'm still waiting on takers for that.

BTW: RADIOHEAD RUUUULES! I yoinked pablo honey from my friend and i love it but I also love amnesiac...which I stole from my boyfriend...muahahaha

Rock and Grunge most, i also enjoy Jazz and Fusion bands... and Post-Rock like Godspeed you, Black Emporor

__________________

yeah, for jazz and blues and sgtuff i really wishh i had of been born like 20 years ago, cause when i hear a good jazz or blues song i like it but i know theres a million styles of those genres, and i don't know WHO to check out. i like upbeat jazz piano with of course the other instruments, i also really enjoy the jazz flute, and i love blues guitar, like BB king.. but still i wish i had have been born a lot longer ago. other then the disco era, i think i'm living in one of the worst eras foir music. but i still got my death metal

__________________

jazz is yummy. I took jazz dancing class and it's almost as fun as tap dancing.

Which is why i love the band Tilly and the Wall. They tap dance for part of their percussion. which rules.

__________________

I have to throw another nod in for Journey. I was never a huge fan until I saw them a couple of years ago (new Journey) and Neal Schon literally brought tears to my eyes when he played the Star Spangled Banner during his guitar solo. It was a few months after 9/11.

I know, I know, but he has a command over his instrument that I would kill to have.

60's-70's woulda done me fine. A lot of good bands around back in the day.

1972 or 1973 for me would have been a great birthdate.

if I hadn't been born when I was, i probably wouldn't have been able to go to germany so i'm happy with my birthdate.

__________________

if its a question of what music era to be born in, my pick would be around 1920s jazz era, prohabition, everyone wearing suits and porkpie hats all night jams in cities like new orleans,chicago,new york. or to be old enough to be in bands around the early 80s playing grind

Floyd, zep, neil mother fucking young
Boards of Canada
Portishead
anything with good beats

Flamenco, Blues, Jazz, Reggae, Classic Rock... Alot o' shit.

__________________

I like classic music like Mozart and Beetoven

i dont know how many of these threads ive posted in. here goes another.
no specific "bands" here:
renaissance
celtic
folk
classical
new age

and whatever you want to call these:

korn-follow the leader,issues
tool-aenema
deftones-adrenaline, around the fur, white pony
spineshank-strictly deisal, height of callousness
AFI-the art of drowning
blink 182-enema of the state

dont like it? fuck off, every one of those are sentimental to me.
