malibu #21.1 malibuOG 2001

i work with these two twin boys. and the other nite they sang me a dean martin song and i was simply blown away by their voices. they sounded just like him but to have them in front of me singing was like a dream come true. it was sooo gorgeous. they sang like 4 different songs. gorgeous. i love dean martin.

guilderbellsuck #20 guilderbellsuckOG 2003

1) Silvertide - Excess Baggage
2) Silverchair - Frogstomp
3) SP - Excerpts from here
4) Mad Season - Above
5) Mother Love Bone - Apple
6) A Perfect Circle - Mer De Nom
7) Alice in Chains - Dirt
8) Chevelle - Point #1
9) Singles soundtrack
10) Deluge - Sideshow Freak

ophelia #20.1 opheliaOG 2003

alice in chains is sooo amazing....one of those bands where you can readily hear the connection and relationship there is between blues hardrock & metal..it's allllll related

guilderbellsuck #20.1.1 guilderbellsuckOG 2003

yeah they are amazing. Too bad Layne died. Jerry Cantrell still makes albums. Can I just say something...It has been a long time since I heard a band that like blew me away. Like its been 10 years and yeah people write albums that are ok and I will buy them but dang Puddle of Mudd, Staind, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Creed, Blink 182, Simple Plan, AFI, Kid Rock, Third Eye Blind etc... you get the point. The only new band that has somewhat blown me away was Audioslave and Chevelle (before they were famous) but other than that these new bands are weak. I want to hear something fresh and new thats awesome. Like if anyone can turn me onto something that isnt all about how punk you can be, or about how fast and loud you can play, something more like an Alice in Chains sound that just endures forever.

ophelia #20.1.1.1 opheliaOG 2003

there's a lot of music out there that's purpose goes beyond making money via trendy catch phrases and non-talented but easily digestible riffs - it's just that you won't find any of it in the mainstream(which encompasses all the bands u listed)...there's always going to be sugar coated pop for the masses - there always has been...dig deep brother!..the underground is where it's at..haha, & even there, you'll find your share of corniness

guilderbellsuck guilderbellsuckOG 2003

haha top 10 worst bands list
1) Simple Plan
2) Good Charlotte
3) New Found Glory
4) Dashboard Confessional
5) Buckcherry
6) Limp Bizkit
7) Smash Mouth
8) Trapt
9) Dishwalla
10) Great White

Had to add some crappy 80's hair metal band to that. No offense but those dudes like Warrant and Poison just scare the living bejesus out of me cuz they are horrible. Feel free to diss other bands that you can't stand such as Dishwalla.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

Simple Plan is the worst band out right now. hands down.

tinser tinserOG 2002

dude, dishwalla is one of my favorite bands ever

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

i think dishwalla is somewhere actually washing dishes.

guilderbellsuck guilderbellsuckOG 2003

Haha yeah. I mean not too many bands with stupid names like that last.

ballyhoo ballyhooOG 2001

i actually think they just came out with a new album.

malibu malibuOG 2001

hahah i love the smash mouth songs but i completely agree with you because they all sound the same!!

ilikebirds #19 ilikebirdsOG 2002 stupid

i thin anyone who listens to music is a big stupid idiot

ok4now #18 ok4nowOG 2002

debbie gibson - electric youth

thatdarngirl #18.1 thatdarngirlOG 2002

I think I have that perfume somewhere..

ok4now #18.1.1 ok4nowOG 2002

huh?    

thatdarngirl #18.1.1.1 thatdarngirlOG 2002

Debbie Gibson's Electric Youth perfume.

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

oh my goodness you do not. you are too much! Electric youth Feel the power, you see the energy

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

My sister had it and I think I took it from her when she moved. Coolest bottle with this electric pink swirly thing running through it.

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002

wow. shameless self-promotion. i've lost all respect for dg now.

ophelia opheliaOG 2003

Almost like when Latoya Jackson came out w/her own brand of pancake syrup called Aint Ja Mama

jp #17 jpOG 2003

skaorsk8 #17.1.1.1 skaorsk8OG 2002

omegatweeter omegatweeterOG 2003

starshiptrooper starshiptrooperOG 2003

wuve. twue wuve.

ballyhoo #16 ballyhooOG 2001 stupid

Farmer Bill and the Shrimp Shack Shooters - Big Doodie Pumpkin Pie Mass Destruction Lipstick Stink Nuggets

fivezero #15 fivezeroOG 2003

i left out Smashing Pumpkins - Melon Collie and Infinite Sadness. it's like 28 perfect songs. completely blows me away. Billy Corgan is amazing. i'm imagine he'll be doing some solo stuff soon. i heard some of it on the SPUN movie soundtrack. UNBELIEVABLE.

tesoro #15.1 tesoroOG 2001

i liked smashing pumpkins..however i really really dislike zwan..i dont get what the big hype is.

fivezero #15.1.1 fivezeroOG 2003 informative

ZWAN was a fun departure. all sun shiny and poppy. billy got to work with people who are talented AND like to take orders, similar to his old band. Zwan's done tho. all broked up.

ballyhoo #15.2 ballyhooOG 2001

i think Siamese Dream was the best one. by the way, Killswitch Engage, very good choice.

forrestina #14 forrestinaOG 2002

this is hard so i just put what i listen to the most in no particular order:
Oasis - (What's the Story) Morning Glory?
Third Eye Blind - TEB
The Beatles - Abbey Road (i think i listen to that one the most)
Paul McCartney - Back in the US
Travis - The Invisible Band
Sublime - The Best of Sublime
Stevie Wonder - Definitive Collection
No Doubt - Tragic Kingdom
Tim McGraw - Greatest Hits
Thrice - The Illusion of Safety
...i think i've said enough now

forrestina #14.1 forrestinaOG 2002

had to add coldplay - both albums and weezer - pinkerton

malibu #14.2 malibuOG 2001

malibu #10 malibuOG 2001

Frank Sinatra- Classic Sinatra

The Temptations- Meet the Temptations

there are so many other bands and albums that could be listed but the other day i saw "what women want" and mel gibson is a pimp in this movie and always listened to frank and i just though, wow frank sinatra is amazing and i love him. and i saw a movie based on the temptations and thought the same thing. they sound sooo good!!! anyways, this is what i'm diggin right now so they are my favorites albums.

J
#10.1.1 jollycandymanOG 2001

i can't imagine hip-hop unplugged, it seems wierd

ophelia #10.1.1.1 opheliaOG 2003 funny

there's simply no way it can be truely unplugged..they prolly just got some candles out & sat down on some stools...& called it unplugged

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002

yodasucka yodasuckaOG 2003

iwz #7.3 iwz

i think Guster's Keep it Together is by far my favorite albums of theirs yet. so good.

J
#7.3.1 jollycandymanOG 2001

How's their old stuff?

iwz #7.3.1.1 iwz

backstreet boys - all of them
big l - under the ground

esprit15d #6.1 esprit15dOG 2003

you forgot Mandy Moore

ophelia #5 opheliaOG 2003

I was just reminded of more..

Incubus - S.C.I.E.N.C.E.(This album really shows their jazz capabilities...and rocks like heck)

Coldplay - Parachutes(I absolutely ADORE THIS ALBUM!!..like, every song, is my favorite song..I don't think I own anything else that I can play 4 times in a row and still be entertained)

Prime S.T.H. - Underneath The Surface(You would all like this band, semi-heavy pop-rock)

Interpol - Turn On The Bright Lights(I love brit-rock..these guys brought it back w/a vengance, adore it)

ilikebirds #5.1 ilikebirdsOG 2002

i'm stupid.. you're smarter..t hinking there's a way..

yea prime is a good band.. they still putting out cd's.. haven't heard from them in awhile

ophelia #5.1.1 opheliaOG 2003

what!!..you're the only person I've ever met that actually knows who they are, I love that album....that song "She" is awesome, whole album rocks

ilikebirds #5.1.1.1 ilikebirdsOG 2002

stupid/smarter.. of whatever the name of the song is.. is my favorite... but i haven't heard from them in a looooong time. anything new ?

ophelia opheliaOG 2003

I doubt it, they like never got anywhere near big....If they did have anything new out I probably wouldn't stumble upon it for a while cause I never have them on my mind when I'm in the CD store...in fact, I always draw big blanks while looking for CD's to buy..I can never come up w/anything..& then the second I'm home, I think of like 10 albums I wanted

tinser #5.2 tinserOG 2002

s.c.i.e.n.c.e is definitely the best incubus album...and can i just repeat that i LOVE coldplay?

ophelia #5.2.1 opheliaOG 2003

NOT as much as I love'm!...coldplay's like, like my woman..I don't need no chicks!..I just put coldplay on, & everything's good...we get odd stares when we go on dates though...me..sitting there..accross from a compact disc..people need to chill, we all have our quirks

tinser #5.2.1.1 tinserOG 2002

no no no, impossible....they are my favorite band....i live for them...and chris is hot....and their videos are hot....and their music is so hot...man, they are the best band just to chill to and drive to nowhere

ophelia opheliaOG 2003

::invisioning courtney in her jetta driving around her block for hours, blasting coldplay, all day, and never getting anything accompolished, because of her coldplay addiction::

tinser tinserOG 2002

haha, no no, i do take pointless rides though...but not around my block...that'd be gay...ussually i go to the beach or some woody area...pretty places.....its my escape from everything, i love it

ophelia opheliaOG 2003

hmm..interesting...when I want escape..I drink 3 bottles of nyquil...

tinser tinserOG 2002

hahaha, hey...i thought you were one of the ones who never tried it

ophelia opheliaOG 2003

lol, no, your memory fails you once more oh senial courtney..(go take some ginkoba!!..my mom says you'll turn into an elephant, remember everything)..that was jahanna I believe...I think that's in the uh, "Age Ain Nothin But A Number" thread

tinser tinserOG 2002 ophelia

fails me once more? when else did my memory fail me?

ophelia opheliaOG 2003 tinser

when did it fail you last?ah, see you don't even remember, do you!!...only serving to prove my point..haha, j/k..i'm just messing around w/ya...if anybody needs some memory improvement, it is I

tinser tinserOG 2002 ophelia

hahaha

deanh77 #5.3 deanh77Founder

maybe this is a dumb question, but aren't Interpol from NYC?

ilikebirds #5.3.1 ilikebirdsOG 2002

yea well that is a dumb question.. soooooo it doesn't deserve an answer

ophelia #5.3.2 opheliaOG 2003

ah, yes..but have you ever heard them?..the may reside, IN NYC..but, their musical influence/sound/style is purely british...by brit rock I meant, vibe, genre...not like locality of the band

tesoro #4 tesoroOG 2001

questions like this are so difficult for me...

lets see

goldfinger-hangups
third eye blind-s/t
the ataris-end is forever
jimmy eat world-bleed american
dashboard confessional-swiss army romance
mest-wasting time
weezer-pinkerton
incubus-make yourself
sugarcult-start static
midtown-living well is the best revenge
good charlotte-s/t

hm, thats 11 choices..i cant narrow it down.

ophelia #4.1 opheliaOG 2003

make yourself is good...I usually love any band who mixes rock w/jazz and or funk..they do it well @ times

starshiptrooper #3 starshiptrooperOG 2003

Yes-90125
Allman Bros.-Live at the Fillmore
Eagles-Hell Freezes Over
Beatles-ONE
Ambrosia-Anthology
Journey-Greatest Hits
Amadeus (the movie)- Soundtrack (really!)

Talk about a generation gap!!

skaorsk8 #2 skaorsk8OG 2002

woah...you like the goo goo dolls?? that, in my opinion, is their worst album.

tinser #1 tinserOG 2002

i just had this on my profile last week....its:
Coldplay-Parachutes
Our Lady Peace- Gravity
Third Eye Blind-TEB
Dishwalla-Opaline
Vertical Horizon-Everything You Want
Nine Days-The Maddening Crowd
Good Charlotte-GC
All American Rejects
The Used-Self titled

(in no particular order)

ophelia #1.1 opheliaOG 2003

Parachutes is soooooo darrnnn goooood.....D'you have their second album?..I like it, but, #1, I bought it @ a time when I was working day in & day out w/this guy I couldn't stand from my hall, so I connect it w/him...and #2, nothing can take the place of their first one...Beautiful album

tinser #1.1.1 tinserOG 2002

oh yeah!!! its so awesome, both their albums are!

starshiptrooper #1.1.2 starshiptrooperOG 2003

Yea, but parachute need to open up more.

ok bad pun.

hunkpapap #1.2 hunkpapapOG 2003

WOw, i didn't think any body like dishwalla or 3eb or VH but me...

tinser #1.2.1 tinserOG 2002

are you serious? They are only some of the most amazing bands ever

esprit15d #1.2.2 esprit15dOG 2003

All three bands are great. I still get excited when I hear Couting Blue Cars.

tinser #1.2.2.1 tinserOG 2002

yeah, that song is sooooo good...have you heard the new album? i'm in love with it...i may marry it

ophelia opheliaOG 2003 offtopic

you do know they're like a christian gospel rock band right?...goodness you're so pagan I can smell it

tinser tinserOG 2002

what? no...isn't good charlotte too or something though?

ophelia opheliaOG 2003

haha, no it doens't matter..as long as they're not like promoting false religous beliefes in their music....Supposedly P.O.D. is a christian band too...AND Hopesfall..AND Creed...I was surprised by all of these

esprit15d esprit15dOG 2003

sixpence none the richer too.

T
toxicgirlOG 2003

I didn't know that. But I don't understand these so called christian bands. I thought they had to talk about God and stuff in their music. Do they consider themselves christian if they don't curse in the songs?

ophelia opheliaOG 2003 toxicgirl

well, hopesfall - a hardcore/spacey-rock band from north caronlina mention god every once in a while....they don't curse @ all...But bands like P.O.D., lol, I don't get that at all...I think the classification of a christian band is a band who makes it a point to make it known that they're serious about their faith, and that all the members of the band feel they've been "saved"...and I guess the lyrics will sometimes reflect that...that band The Smoking Popes is another one...

esprit15d esprit15dOG 2003 toxicgirl

Yeah, i think if they don't curse, and claim christianity, some just declare themselves christian rock bands. Next thing we know, linkin park will be one. Although, i must say, Creed does have a an occassional religious overtone, like, lemme think, I think My Own Prison. Sample: "A court is in session, a verdict is in/No appeal on the docket today/Just my own sin."

fuzz fuzzOG 2003

pink floyd - animals, meddle
rush- 2112
yes - closer to the edge
fu manchu - the action is go
king crimson - red

i used to have aenima on tape but i listened to it so much it broke.oh well :(

starshiptrooper starshiptrooperOG 2003

ummm Fuzzz.....its CLOSE to the Edge....no biggie...my first Yes concert tour!!!!!!!1973ish. I LOVE YES..in all thier forms.
