Jabberwocky

Grand Funk Railroad - Sin's A Good Man's Brother

They were one of the few bands from the 60's who were completely original. They took jazz, blues, psychedelia, spoken word, experimental leanings and threw it in a blender and hit the puree button. Love them.

6. Any modern country artists. I actually want to single out the ones you hear on the radio. It's like the same song with the same chord progression and the same lyrics. No individuality whatsoever. And lucky me, I live in Iowa which means I'm surrounded by it!

/rant 

Modern country is very trite with 100% more wrapped up in the American flag and you gotta mention God and Jesus in every fucking song. How did we go from I Walk The Line to I Gotta BBQ Stain On My White T-shirt?

Springsteens a cunt.  I hate all that phoney blue collar 'we-can-make-it-if-we-try' tales of skid row bullshit.  Its just fuckin' populist bullshit.  You can do that kind of stuff without being so lame about it.  Joe Strummer for example. 

1. You could take any of Springsteen lyrics and it will never hold up to "If someone locks me out I kick my way back in An' if I get aggression I give 'em two times back" 

2. Springsteen sound is way too bloated. The only people who can get away with having 12 people on a stage is Parliament/Funkadelic

3. And like with modern country it's sound is very trite. There's a reason why his band members were stuck doing covers as they went to commercials from some shitty David Letterman, Jay Leno late night talk show.

You don't hold back, do you? 

If by Kornl you mean Korn (i'm guessing that was a typo) They are the only nu metal band I bothered to listen to more extensively - nothing special but nothing horrible either. Kind of "meh"  band.

Has Motley Crue ever been critically acclaimed?  I've never followed them and only know few of their biggest hits, so I'm totally clueless about this. They certainly don't seem the type that critics would be fawning over. 

I agree with you on Bono - "savior of the world" act is really tiresome. He has (had?) a good voice though.  There are couple of  songs from U2 that I like, but really bland band as whole. 

I'm not sure what the true definition of classic rock is, but I would guess that Gn'R:s hits from the 1980's could be considered as classic rock at this point.

 Welcome to the jungle baby!

 

Well I believe ya gotta provide a reason for the free floating hostility

Korn is bad but Limp Bisquit is worse. The whole nu-metal thing was full of tattooed and pierced date rapist frat boys. The music reflected it.

Crue  wasn't critically acclaimed. I just wanted to throw in my hatred for hair metal.

Classic rock to me was stuff I heard on the radio as a teenager in the late 80's/early 90's so it was all stuff from the 60's and 70's. Basically arena rock stuff. My biggest gripe was FM radio overplayed the shit out of it. I was considered a longhair burnout back then but I gravitated towards The Sex Pistols and DIY post-punk than any of the "professional" accomplished, overly technical music for musicians sake crap (IE prog)

Though it might not sound like it but I really do have more music genres that I love than I hate.

SOPHIE — Faceshopping

Judas Priest/Iron Maiden - basically the whole NWOBHM scene. horrible vocals to boot
Fleetwood Mac - safe suburban vanilla AOR
The Eagles - see above
Queen - the shittiest band I've ever heard. A rock band with some guy trying to sing opera. Pick one and stick with it ya cunts.
AC/DC - the fast food cheeseburger of rock music
Lynard Skynard - being that I'm from the south, this was played to death and I will stab my ears if I ever have to hear them again
Dream Theater/Pink Floyd/ELP/etc - I fucking HATE prog rock
Motley Crue and the whole hair metal music - butt rock
Kornl. Sounds like they're trowing their instruments down a flight of stairs
U2 - not only because Bono is a self-righteous twat, but they are very boring
Radiohead - their singer doesn't sing, he whines
Shit that is considered "classic rock" like Deep Purple, KISS, The Who, Thin Lizzy, etc

Evangeline  - Let's Go Spend Your Money Honey

all female country/cajun band from the early 90's

The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy - Satanic Reverses

Forced Entry - As Above, So Below

Forced Entry - Bone Crackin' Fever

Sex Pistols - Friggin' In The Riggin'

Starbuck - Easing Back

Pretty sure your music just blew up my phone speaker😂 kyoko's doll.

Interesting that there's so much different music coming from people who listen to gnr.

Yeah I forgot to give a fair warning LOL

There's alot of us on this forum so you'll always find people who are into way more stuff than GNR. If I must be honest, I like GNR but not anywhere near what alot of people here do. I got into GNR but also at the same time got into noise music, hardcore punk, post punk, industrial, electronic, experimental, rap. All of this stuff happened at the same time for me.

Anymore for me is that I've gotten into film making. Writing scripts, doing special effects (both CGI and practical) cinematography. sound design, and most important acting. Here's a 5 minute short film I did about a week or two ago. It's very simplistic. Done in shot reverse shot. It's something very close to me heart as far as the story goes.

Terrortrance From Hell - Throbbing At 200 BPM.

Picked this sucker up for 5 bucks today. More darker and edgier trance than the lighter Goa trance. Also has a cool lenticular (aka holographic) cover. One of the best compilations put out by Cleopatra/Hypnotic Records.

The Obsessed - Sacred

The Obsessed - My Daughter My Sons

DOOOOOOM!!!

Sandy Duncan's Eye - Pioneer

I can't do a top 5 cause there is too much stuff out there that I like so I gotta go to 11

1. Poppy

2. Monster Magnet

3. Skinny Puppy

4. The Ramones

5. Barkmarket

6. Alice In Chains

7. Watergh0st

8. The Doors

9. Black Oak Arkansas

10. Entombed

11. Lush

Synth Britannia

Too Short - I'm A Player

His Name Is Alive  - Can't Go Wrong Without You

Beautiful and so haunting at the same time. The video was done by The Brothers Quay and it's this creepy/surrealistic stop motion.

Cop Shoot Cop - Waiting For The Punchline

Happy 2B Hardcore

Major respect for digging that one out dog. You just made me listen to another one. That's a really great forgotten about album. Great beats all over it. You are the freaking man.

 

 

Thanks man That's what happens when you have a giant music collection LOL. It's unfortunate that there were rap one hit wonders that could have more/done more if they were pushed. Another one who I liked was Skee-Lo. He just had the one hit "I Wish" but I think this track is miles above that one

Paperboy - Ditty

What kind of music are you writing?

Oh boy, where to even start LOL. If anything I would call it fusion. Not like fusion in a jazz way but a fusion of genres. I like to do a more dark side of psychedelia but mix it in with shoegaze, no wave, and punkish experimentation. But at the same time I like to do vocal harmonies. The longest process to doing music is the actual lyric writing. Doing the music is a lot easier but I have more to pick from. My stuff has no percussion at all. It's just me, my guitar, a basic amp, and a Big Muff pedal. It's all rudimentary shit but I like the results I get out of it even if nobody buys my shit LOL.

Since Soundcloud is a pile of shit here is a link to my new stuff. There is older stuff I've done on Bandcamp from 2015 onward but it should give you an idea of where my head is.

NOTE: I've been doing music since 92 and I've done electronic druggie ambiant stuff, grindcore, plunderphonics, noisy space music, etc. I don't like to be tied to just one thing.
