Reading over this thread, it's pretty depressing no-one has mentioned The Stone Roses. They're probably my third favourite band, but that's only because they only released two albums. Their self-titled debut album is one of the greatest albums of all-time, and it's one of my five favourite albums. Their second release, Second Coming, is a solid release, but I feel falls short of their debut. It still is definately one of my top 15 albums though. |

Oh yeah, to pretty much ignore all the recent stuff and talk about something else, the new Linkin Park album is out soon. After listening to their first single a few times (playable through their website) I'm still not sure what to think of the thought of a new album from them (disclaimer: judgements made based on a single song). Its a different sound, and they're branching out creatively, but its a big difference from the music that made them popular. What they have right now is more of a straight-up rock sound. Its not a bad kind of rock, but it doesn't grab me in the way that their old stuff did. I'll probably still get the album at some stage, but its certainly not urgent or as eagerly-awaited now as I hoped it would be. |

"Reading over this thread, it's pretty depressing no-one has mentioned The Stone Roses." I just got into the Stone Roses a few months ago. I had heard of them but didn't know any of their songs (or thought I didn't; Love Spreads actually got a fair bit of radio airplay in my area when it came out but I had no idea what the song was called or who played it at the time). I like britpop like Oasis and Blur and in reading up on them found out that the Stone Roses had influenced those acts. One time by fluke I found a site that had an MPS of Fools Gold so I downloaded it on a whim and liked it. So I bought their greatest hits back in December without knowing any of their other songs. And it's great stuff. I especially like the songs "Sally Cinnamon", "This is the One" and "I Wanna be Adored". I've never met anyone who has even heard of them but they never really amounted to much in North America. Hell most people I meet are only familiar with Blur because of Song 2. I don't find myself really digging much current music so it's nice to discover a band that was big in another part of the world but not here. I got into The Jam in the same way. To me it's like brand new music. It reminds me of back when I was 13 and I made a conscious effort to get familiar with popular acts from before my time. There was a surge of "new to me" material back then and at the time I really liked what was new material as well. Anyone outside of Canada looking for undiscovered gems my favourite Canadian act is Blue Rodeo. They're a mainstream act here but I figure they're unknown to much of the United States, Europe or Australia and they deserve more recognition compared to some incredibly overrated Canadian acts like the Tragically Hip or Our Lady Peace. |

I listen to metal, classic stuff like Rainbow, Dio, Sabbath, and Malmsteen. Also new stuff like Ensiferum, Falkenbach, Edguy, Elvenking and Angra. And for relaxing music i like baroque, and some pop singers like Eilera, and Bjork. |
