What do think of Christmas songs?

I get really sick of them, especially around Christmas and the few months before it where stores and other establishments go overboard with them. I really despise when they loop one album endlessly, or worse, a single...

Which is your favourite?

I think the closest thing to a Christmas song or album I've ever liked was the Melvins' The Bootlicker album. Some of the songs seem to have CHristmas references, yet they mightn't exactly be pro-christmas.

Which do you hate beyond reason?

Christmas carols. In particular those ones where they get a couple dozen kids under the age of five and have them sing terribly so they can make and sell some CDs worth a few dollars each.

Which do you prefer, traditional songs/carols or rock/pop/chart/etc christmas songs?

I prefer rock/pop/chart etc, yet only barely. Christmas I can find fun, Christmas music becomes more and more painful every year.

Which do you hate beyond reason?

That bloody "All I want for Christmas is yoouuuuuu!!!" by Maria Kerry... I think it was her anyway...

Hi there.
I'd like to join, since I've been boring my ass off lately (even though I'm gonna start studying like mad).

What are/is your favourite type(s) of music?
MY favourite would be alternative guitar (and electro) stuff. But I basically like any music that's somewhat original. I have some fine electro records, alternative (hard) rock, acoustic stuff, alternative stuff, (experimental) punk (not the "kewl" kind you see these days though!), both old and new.

Do you have a particular favourite artist/band? If so, who?
My favourite bands would be dEUS, Sonic Youth and Queens of the Stone Age. Though I'd feel guilty if I weren't to mention The Beatles, MGMT, The Who, Oasis, Depeche Mode, Dave Gahan, Beck, Bob Dylan and lots more really.

How has music affected your life?
Music is really important to me. I grew up with lots of different music available around the house, since my dad has build up a huge CD collection (certainly by now), though not for collecting purposes obviously.

Have any musical talents?
I play the guitar, both acoustic and electric, and I'm good at it. I can sing quite well too, although my voice has trouble reaching high notes, which is kind of normal since I'm a guy not wearing tights

. I write my own songs, but haven't finished one until this day (not counting the songs I wrote when I was still in school, filled with naive teenage angst and desire for Platonic love. LOL, Platonic!), since I don't have an actual band yet and don't have any incentive to actually work on it.

What's your favourite song at the moment?
My favourite song lately has been the new Sonic Youth one. "What We Know".
Just YouTube that shit: "What we know" + "Sonic Youth" + "Jools" and you'll get a good performance of the new song. It's not as heavy as the rest of their songs and a tad catchier, but I still like it.

peace!

**RagnaToad** · 05-25-2010, 02:19 PM

I've been exploring the world of hip hop and rap more and more lately, since I feel like I've been focusing on guitar music and electro too much before.

I really like NWA and Dr. Dre. Can anyone recommend me some (gangsta) rap or good, original hip hop?

I borrowed a Brother Ali album from a friend. I should listen to it some time this week.

**Polk** · 10-02-2010, 10:13 PM

Man alive I thought this club died a long time ago. Not that I'm complaining that it's alive.

Even though you posted this a couple months ago, I'm in the same boat as you. I started listening to different Death Row rappers like Dr. Dre, 2pac, Biggie Smalls, Warren G, Snoop Dogg, stuff like that. My knowledge is still extremely limited, so my suggestions probably aren't helping.

And that Brother Ali song is fantastic. I'll have to check out more of his stuff.

Guilty Pleasure bands? I don't really have any bands that I listen to regularly that I'd call "guilty pleasures." I have a bunch of songs that are real guilty pleasures for me, like Smooth by Santana and Rob Thomas. I like to blast it in my car and sing along with it. God help you if you're in line with me at a store and it comes on, because you can be damn sure that I'll be singing along with it.

**Chez Daja** · 06-15-2010, 07:39 PM

As well as my love for metal and atmospheric music, I'm quite into post-rock, techno and drum and bass these days.

Some prime examples would be Maybeshewill, Mono and If These Trees Could Talk (post-rock) and Pendulum and Prodigy (drum and bass.)

Post-rock isn't really one of those hyped up genres that everybody listens to, but I love it nonetheless. I think I was just born to be one of those people that loves pretty much most music out there.

Oh, and Lady Gaga is kind of a genius in some weird and wonderful way.

**RagnaToad** · 06-25-2010, 07:34 PM

If anyone is interested in some good hiphop, Brother Ali's latest album called 'Us' is really good.

The lyrics are very well written and thought through and the samples in some of the songs are amazing.

I particularly like this song:
YouTube - Brother Ali - The Preacher

**Joe** · 10-02-2010, 12:20 PM

So I've recently found myself getting into Phoenix, Interpol, and Orianthi, which is a little odd, as it's not quite like anything else that I listen to. I've also noticed that my musical tastes evolve in little snippets over time, rather than in dramatic shifts. So I guess that to bring a little life back to this thread I'll attempt a discussion.

How have your musical tastes changed in the past year? I recall that there may have been one over the course of your life, but I'm curious about the little shifts in tastes that happen in such a small span of time.

Do you have any Guilty Pleasure Bands, no matter how rediculous they might be? I know I have a soft spot for The Used, and some disco music, not gonna lie.
