TheCircus Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Don't listen to that. Listen to Refused and you will be forgiven. Buy Refused - The shape of punk to come But dont try and expand your musical knowledge just to sound cool, do it because you love music, only then will your quest for musical zen be fufilled.

Sam. Hope iv helped (Y) edit: shpelling ← Now thats a quality list, dont get many people into the good 'ol music much anymore. Oasis should be releasing their new album soon, noel says he has 66songs lined up, might make a double album, or just a single. Bout time they released on i say!

TheCircus Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 I say...Oasis should die, along with that list. God i hate everyone of those bands. But good luck with Indie...maybe at some point a good band may come along, that reminds me; The Yeah Yeah Yeah's are vaguely acceptable. Try them.

pacman001001 Posted January 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 (edited) i think so, a few of my mates love music, but only listen to one type. i used to only listen to happy hardcore (dance), now ill listen to anything, from hardcore dance to reggae. yet i still love music now as much as i did then. meh my bad, kinda read the post wrong, but hey, its still a good point!! annnddd... i think he ment hypocritical in the way you wrote the post, saying not to listen to what i was asking about, but to listen to what you like, then saying to expand ones knowledge. could be wrong like Edited January 23, 2005 by pacman001001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 So you say you can't love music if your music taste is narrowminded/focused? ← I'm not saying that. But you said (simplified): "Listen to the music you want" "Listen to (XXX band of a different genre)" If he listens to music that you're telling him to, that would be him listening to it to fit in and be cool, rather than obviously listening to what he wants.

plainlazy84 Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 this is the type of music i most love (Y) although i listen to lots of other "genres" too some other bands you might like to check out... Keane Delays The Killers Starsailor Turin Breaks The Coral The Zutons David Gray Elbow Damien Rice Jack Johnson Razorlight Kings of Leon Zero 7 The Ordinary Boys Kasabian as Tomm said (my fav at the moment) Hope this qualifies me as being cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munkee Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 pacman if you rate happy hardcore as dance then you didnt really like it . Not being offensive but its like people calling everything trance for example special D... when trance is totally different to what they say ( e.g. liquid life - new dawn ). i guesse its the same as someone saying just cos a song has a guitar its punk? annoying. but yes... my contribution to the thread... uhhh listen to... uhhh... antiflag.. now that is punk... thats all i got...

Hardcore is not Dance, it is Hardcore. Also, when people say "I love Hard House, Scooter is great" erm, excuse me? He is euro-pop not Hard House, and is cheesy as hell! On the subject, how annoying is it searching for dance tunes on Kazaa or the like and a filename comes up "dance techno rave acid jungle hardcore - Best tune ever ever ever 5"... Erm, so which is it? Then you download it and it's 123BPM rubbish. Sorry to whinge lol... Anyway, try some older punk music... The Clash, the buzzcocks, Sex Pistols etc... some real vintage class :mellow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't exactly follow the house music scene (That is to say I don't like it :mellow:), but I know scooter, they did that shit Pink Floyd cover.

hazzyhaslam Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Try a band called 'brand new' there kinda cool. Also 'Biffy Clyro' as well. both not really indie but worth listening too! But as far as indie goes why not search for indie rock in google and see if any radio stations come up? that way you can try before you buy kinda thing.
