Wow, Omen, you like Devo? Really? They are my husband's all time favorite band. I cannot believe the amount of Devo I have listened to in the last 14 years. Part of he and I starting to date was because I was one of the few girls who would listen to Devo with him.

They have quite a bit of good music. Some of it is really freaking weird but it has grown on me. It's too bad that people remember them mostly for Whip It.

devo are awsome, weird is good! i really should get into more stuff by them, ive only heard 4-5 songs tops, but hey i liked every one of them

Shift Key · « **Reply #27 on:** October 11, 2003, 10:49:10 PM »

Whip it? I know I heard of Devo somewhere!

*hums Whip It tune*

The Omen · « **Reply #28 on:** October 12, 2003, 05:40:54 AM »

If anyone is to get into Devo, start with the '76 to 83 era. Especially the releases produced with Brian Eno(who also pro. the late 70's Bowie albums.). Some weird sh!t, and i love it. Good party music too.

Why are you all still posting when you should be listening to Pain.

Seriously, if you like anything remotely close to punk or ska (although they're not ska, and don't like it when people call them that), you'll love Pain. Look, they're not that popular, and I'm doing my best to support the band here- at least work with me, people.

Ok I feel very stupid that I have no idea who any of these bands are. Well I know a few, but for the majority, I haven't heard of them in my life.
Maybe it's because I have no life and I listen to untalented artists...

YES!! Britney Spears is releasing a new album! YES YES YES!!! (I seriously am excited for this)

ewww...

Now this is what I was talking about!

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #34 on:** October 12, 2003, 01:36:22 PM »

Oh yeah, and thanks to Infernal Monkey and Louie FM, I am now a fan of Saint Dragon

Plugabugz · « **Reply #35 on:** October 12, 2003, 01:47:07 PM »

I notice most people here are Rock types of people.

I'm more of an R&B Person (don't confuse this with rap): I like groups like Destiny's Child (including all their solo work), Monica, Alicia Keys and stuff liek that. Being from the UK, I like most of the R&B stuff thats come out over here: Sugababes, Mis-Teeq etc.

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #36 on:** October 12, 2003, 01:53:08 PM »

what was that song that was #1 in UK a while back, it was called "Whatever!" or something? They showed it on the Screensavers (tech tv) a while back, and I really liked it. anyone know where I can get it? (or what I'm talking about?)

Oh yeah, check the song in my sig

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #37 on:** October 12, 2003, 03:26:27 PM »

Whip it? As in, Whip it Good? Funny. I might have to try listening to them, Devo. . . some of these other bands sound good, too.

For a minute there I thought you guys were talking about X. I was like, wow, these younguns have heard of X? Now I feel out of it again as I have no clue who Group X is/are.

I enjoy almost all generes of music, but I especialy like live music. Bob Dylan was in my area earlier, and he put on a pretty good show. I have a dislike for overly commercial music, because I've never heard any that I like. Idiots trying to get kids to buy their album by swearing and singing/talking about drugs just make me laugh.

All around the world, there are many brilliant musicians, who don't recieve any interest from recording companies because their style of music isn't popular. To me it's important that I try to listen to as much different music as I can, and not let record companies dictate my tastes.

On another note, I found a good orchestrated version of the Goron city theme from OoT. If anyone wants it or can host it, just e-mail me at caillan@operamail.com.

The Dark Tower · « **Reply #43 on:** October 15, 2003, 02:03:03 PM »

All of them are pretty good.

But the eternal question is...

who is better? Stevie Ray Vaughn or Eric Clapton (Answering Jimi Hendrix doesn't count.)

The Blue Baron · « **Reply #44 on:** October 15, 2003, 06:26:07 PM »

50 cent got shot nine times.

actually i think clapton is better but hendrix is the master of them all.

Shift Key · « **Reply #45 on:** October 15, 2003, 06:54:41 PM »

Gee Blue, thanks for the useless fact.
Nine times? What did they do, shoot his shadow or something?

And Hendrix forever!

DarkSloth · « **Reply #46 on:** October 15, 2003, 07:23:32 PM »

My Favorite favorite band is My Bloody Valentine. I love them. I've based my whole life around them... kinda. They make an awesome blend of noise and guitar. I Ebayed most of their Eps because they are non existant anywhere else. Its pretty sad everyone forgot about My Bloody Valentine.

From their first album around the mid 80's to their last album 91 they've grown amazingly. It all started with Ecstasy and Wine basically. Their songs just started to sound better. Then in Isn't Anything they totally go crazy (in a good way.) And finally, with Loveless, they blew out the whole shoegazer field. There is rumour that they are going to make another album, or rather finish Glider. Until then, i hope Stella Luna and Pia Fraus start going strong too.

zwan

the version they do of iron maidens number of the beast is simply one of the greatest songs I have ever heard.

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #48 on:** October 16, 2003, 12:04:41 PM »

Nine times? Good for him. . . something told me not to like that guy.

Hendrix is cool, though
