I was just wondering, does anyone on the site listen to any other genres of music besides prog? I must say that Prog was not my first love, which was Alternative rock. I still listen to my older loves, but have grown to listen to Prog, Metal, Classic rock, Funk, a little bit of jazz, and, (altough this may seem odd,) a lil' bit O' emo
So, any thoughts?

Everything except R 'n B (the new kind). Stevie Wonder did it better and for f*ck's sake, pick a note and stick to it instead of warbling up and down the scale like a pregnant sparrow on nest!!

emo,as far as I can tell, is a part of the pop punk genre. All it is really is a bunch of supposed suicidals singing about how they miss their girlfriends and fell the need to complain to us through punk-pop "music" for example, yellowcard. The music is really really really bad and whiny. Not worth any of your time

never understood what emo was either - thought it was a comedian meself.
I listen to anything that's music cause i might like it even if its country or classical, funk or flippin' tibetan nose flutes. A lot of prog (all the classics plus Radiohead a lot of classic rock, (from Allman Bros to ZZ Top and everything in between) a lot of alternative, new wave, punk (from the Clash to Stiff Little Fingers, Blondie to the Beat, Pretenders to Police) a lot of soul, funk and disco (from Aretha to Stevie Wonder, Sly to Prince, Funkadelic to Alisha Keys, Sister Sledge to the Scissor Sisters) a lot of electronica - from JMJ to Air, Boards of Canada to Fourtet, Mum to Tangerine Dream a lot of country and alt country - from Bonnie Prince Billy to Ryan Adams, Hank Williams to Shelby Lynne a lot of classical - from arvo part to vaughn williams, mozart to messiaen, piazzola to penderecki) a lot of jazz - from mingus to mehldau to miles and so on and everything else The only things I don't listen to anymore are heavy metal (cause the bulk of it is just ridiculous and it is music for 12 year olds) and hardcore dance music (which i loved for a while but am now thoroughly bored by - a movement which was once so fresh-sounding has become the most formulaic in music (bad trance) - its only the more avant garde electronica elements that attract me now) all musical genres have something worthwhile in them, something startling and spine-tinglingly good, you just have to go exploring. The venom displayed on the radiohead inclusion thread is a good advert for expanding your musical horizons beyond the same 12 bands and same 3 types of sound. |

is it a 70's band? |
Posted By: goose

No, proper emo comes from hardcore and some of it's fairly arty (note, I said some!). Modern "emo" is nothing to do with real emo at all. |

There's another thread on this somewhere back in the mists of time... But I'll listen to absolutely anything - but I'll only listen to it more than once if I liked it or heard something "special" in it the first time. No point listing stuff again... |

I listen to: prog rock prog folk prog metal folk rock very very little death metal (Opeth only) some black metal (most black metal is crap) folk metal (a cool subgenre of metal - it is a mixture of folk and metal) avant-garde (Mostly avant-garde metal and prog - artists such as Arcturus [metal band] and Pierrot Lunaire, and Comus [prog bands].) I can listen to pretty much anything except emo, hardcore, rap/hip-hop, r&b, modern radio rock, and country. |

Blackfoot was a 70ies southern rock band that has got a little succes in the late 70ies/early 80ies. Is one of the strongest southenr rock bands and in the eighties became more hard-rock/metal (I prefer the 70ies albums!). Singer and gutarist Medloke is now one of the three guitars in the actual line-up of the Lynyrd Skynyrd. He have also play drums in their early demos (there's something in the album Skynyrd's Fisrt... And Last). If you need suggestion I can say Hyghway Song-Blackfoot Live or album as Strike or Marauder. ------------- Space Stoned Rock |
