Prog Eye Candy

Yeah, that's the song practically everyone listens to exclusively. If the song isn't played a good hundred of times on repeat during a party, it means the party has gone wrong.

Too bad the most popular Metal the fins listen to is quite dull, but I guess it's like that everywhere. I have no idea why, but here in Latvia there has been a new wave of Bon Jovi popularity - it doesn't make any sense to me. I mean, why them out of all the bands?

Well, as long as you have long hair, I would say as many as you want.

On a more serious note, it's an interesting fact, that in the US teenagers seem to listen to emo and genres like that. I personally don't know anyone who listens to emo around here, instead, many teenagers are very keen on bands like Children of Bodom, Nightwish, Sonata Arctica, In Flames etc. Just goes to show how different our cultures are. I guess the constant darkness during the winter here does count for something, eh?

There's a fairly common joke around here, that if you want to get a girlfriend, just wear a Children Of Bodom t-shirt, and in a matter of minutes, some 15-year old COB-fangirl will come to talk to you.

REALLY???? wow!  (except for the 15 year old part)

but for real, nobody but us nerds listen to CoB in the states.  hot girls listen to emo here.

That's like saying you like women from Europe.

Well, for example the ones I already mentioned; Grace Slick, Uschi Obermaier and Norah Jones. I think the whole thing has a lot to do with where you live.
