Generic Music Thread

[Proxy]

Kinda vague title, but I'm gonna give this a shot. What are some of your favorite bands, groups, or whatever, and songs from them? What's on the top of your playlists? Or perhaps bands you're interested in listening to, but need second or third opinions about? Perhaps add some lyrics that you like. Concerts you've been to, want to go to. This is gonna be a pretty open thread, and it'll kinda let us know each other a slight bit more. Lets post here and have a little music discussion.

Me, I'm a huge fan of Saosin, From First To Last, The Used, The Bled, anything off any of thier CD's I love.
If anyone who likes The Used, and haven't heard their new single, The Bird And The Worm, I highly recommend it. It's one of my favorites.
I'm also a big fan of The Red Jumpsuit Aparatus, a couple of thier tracks, Cat And Mouse, and Guardian Angel make me tear up every time I hear them.
And ofcourse, I can't forget AFI, Death of Seasons is a great track by AFI. and I like the classical symphonies, and composers.
Classic rock can't be beat either.

And just a little excerpt from a song.

All alone he turns to scold, while holding his breath after death.
Terrified of what's inside, to save his life he crawls like a worm from a bird.

Proxy, you and I must have been separated at birth.

I LOVE Bright Eyes, Alesana, From First to Last (only with Sonny Moore though), The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Nightmare of You, AFI, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Chiodos, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, Escape the Fate, Underoath, Boys Night Out, Boys Like Girls, Taking Back Sunday, Panic! at the Disco, The Used, My Chemical Romance... and SO much more.

I noticed you like most of the Taste of Chaos tour, which is stopping by in my areaish tomorrow. *love*
I wanna go see it so badly, to throw around some wanna be moshers, but alas, as far as I know, no available tickets.

Sonny left. Sonny is doing solo now. Sonny's solo stuff is horrible. I like him, but the punk/emo style suits him best, cause that's what he did best.
And, althought FFTL won't be the same without him, I'm sure the new CD is gonna sond great. They have 3 CD's experience under the belt, and that's more than enough to know what their fans like, and dislike.

Whoa, gotta disagree with you there. I LOVE Sonny's solo stuff. He sounds so much better when he isn't straining his voice.

And I wasn't able to go to Taste of Chaos this year. I'm probably going to Warped Tour though.

I've been really interested in Saosin for awhile, but I keep forgetting to check their stuff out. I don't know why I'm interested in the first place, though--I just saw this guy wearing a sweatshirt with the name on it and thought it sounded cool. I think I listened to a few clips of some songs on lastfm, but that was it. What do you RECOMMEND? >=D

A band that I have been listening to a lot recently is Silversun Pickups. Really good stuff. Although Lazy Eye is probably my favourite right now; I love the video so much. I bet they would be great to see live too. Must investigate.

The old Saosin (pre new singer) is better. I don't really care for the new stuff.

You should listen to Bright Eyes and Alesana. ^^

[kikimm]

I do! Bright Eyes, anyways. Probably not enough for your standards, but I do. Lover I Don't Have to Love is great. So is False Advertising....that might be my favourite song from them. Yes.

[escobert]

Nas... too many songs to list. Every CD is good, some better than others. Some stand out tracks are Take it in blood, The World is Yours, It Ain't hard to tell, I gave you power, Nas is Like, Undying Love, you're the man, One Mic, What goes around, If I ruled the World, Carry on Tradition, Hip Hop is Dead, Not going Back, Thugz Mansion, Can't forget about you (personal favorite atm), QB True G. Many more but those are all tracks I love.

[JackNapier]

I listen to a pretty wide variety of music. Lately I've found myself addicted to OverCLocked Remix's tunes, and the majority of the music that comes out of Finland (it's just so good!). Favorite bands would have to be: The Misfits, The 69 Eyes, Dream Theater, Rammstein, My Chemical Romance etc. I never stay focused on one thing. I'll be obsessed with something one month, and then obsessed with a completely different genre a month later.

Evanescence My one true love from now til she dies and when she dies I will listen to her in heaven.

Tool and a perfect circle...maynard's vocals and lyrics are the love

i've been to see him in tool twice and a perfect circle once... a perfect circle was at summersault but the tool shows were just that, tool was the only stage it was awesome.

edit

also jebus' musical taste is amazing!

I have absolutely fallen in love with contemporary folk music and what it represents. My favorite artists are Tom Paxton, John Denver, James Taylor, Eric Andersen, Phil Ochs, Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, The Weavers, Alan Lomax, Mississippi John Hurt, and others.

My favorite songs come from these artists.

"Thirsty Boots" - Eric Andersen (1964)

<i>Take off your thirsty boots and stay for awhile
Your feet are hot and weary from a dusty mile
And maybe I can make you laugh, and maybe I can try
Looking for the evening, and the mourning in your eyes.</i>

"Leaving London" - Tom Paxton (1966)

<i>If I could beg steal or borrow
A ticket on some ship or plane
I'd be leaving London tomorrow
to fly to my own love again.</i>

"Come and Let Me Look in Your Eyes" - John Denver (1976)

<i>All across the universe the stars are fading
Seems we've gotten lost on our way
All I want to do is try and find myself
Come and let me look in your eyes.</i>

"This Land is Your Land" - Woody Guthrie (1940)

<i>I've roamed and rambled, I've followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond desert
And all around me, a voice was sounding
"This land was made for you and me."</i>

You can't just be a fan of folk music. It becomes a part of who you are and what you aspire the world to be.

This is true.

"This Land is Your Land" - Woody Guthrie (1940)

I've roamed and rambled, I've followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond desert
And all around me, a voice was sounding
"This land was made for you and me."
