Some of my favorites growing up.

-Hot Water Music

-Piebald

-Get Up Kids

-Keepsake

-Shai Hulud

-Jimmy Eat World

-Mr. T Experience


They were all great bands but some of them I won’t listen to anymore (due to negativity in their songs). Others still make into my song lists occasionally!

But for the most part I have discovered a bunch of new bands that are amazing and spend most of my time listening to them. I just got "The Beautiful Mistake" Cd today and boy do they ROCKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Cali somewhere. I just got the "artist in the ambulance" cd today. It is quite good. Very innovative. This is a new venture for me, since I don't have any of their old albums nor have I ever seen them play. I heard good things about their music and decided to check out some samples on their website. Seemed to have a nice flavor so I bought the CD. I brought it (Thrice) up because they have a punk and roll sound that you might like, judging from some of the bands you listed above. Not that Thrice sounds like any of those bands you mentioned but if you like the sounds of those above bands I would think you might like Thrice. You can check out some samples here

Here is the main site THRICE

They bring in a little hard edge sound with melodic punk which I find to be very cool and creative. Their lyrics may seem kinda weird, even a little morbid maybe. But if you read them carefully you will find they are very encouraging and positive. Also they (the lyrics) are subjective to each person, so you can really use the songs for good frameworks of thoughts. All in all a good band, lots of talent, and very creative.

BTW-- Sorry to be getting so technical about music but it is Sunday afternoon, I have nothing better to do, and I am a music geek I guess. If you do check them out let me know what you think.

Here is a cool video of them playing live!

I saw Dream Theater was mentioned so somebody has good taste. I didn't read this whole thread but I bet 99% of you haven't heard of Spock's Beard (note the screen name has nothing to do with Star trek!). If you like DT, Queensryche, King's X, Yes, or maybe even Pink Floyd you might like Spock's Beard. Its too bad they're lead singer just got god in a big way and quit the band.

[SpocksBeard]

It was too bad because he left the band and was their main songwriter and creative driving force. Its not quite the same band without his influence. His solo work is still good but it is laced with theology and beliefs I don't necessarily share.

I know what you mean, but I think when someone decides to take their faith seriously it ROCKS!!! Even if it means upsetting some people and changing their life around. I mean I can totally understand where you are coming from though. I guess it would kind of suck to lose a band you liked. Just don't let it bother you I guess and maybe you will be able to enjoy him the way you used to.

O.K., it's official. I'm old. I've never even remotely heard about any of the people you guys have been talking about for the last 30 or so posts. Let's see, where'd I leave my CCR 8 track.......

Good evening.
Do not attempt to adjust your radio, there is nothing wrong.
We have taken control as to bring you this special show.
We will return it to you as soon as you are grooving.

Welcome to station WEFUNK, better known as We-Funk,
Or deeper still, the Mothership Connection.
Home of the extraterrestrial brothers,
Dealers of funky music.

Coming to you directly from the Mothership

My motto is:

Make my funk the P.Funk
I want my funk uncut
Make my funk the P.Funk
I wants to get funked up.
I want the bomb,
I want the P.Funk
I want my funk uncut.
Make my funk the P.Funk
I wants to get funked up.

After seein the Rush thread, i thought it might be interestin to see what kind of music you're into.
It kinda shows who you are, or when you grew up.

I like led zep, pink floyd and the who, even though that's not my era. Just got back from Red Hot Chilli Peppers show, and might go check out the White Stripes, if my $ allows.
Queens if the Stone Age, another d@mn good band. And depending on the my mood, Steely Dan is perfection.

Today had some Billy Joel, live on, going to work. Good 'ol Allen Town

 

[Mr. Irrelevant]

Hi Wright Aviation:

You're right. For some reason, I like chicks, and their music.

I have some other old favorites, like Pink Floyd, but lately I'm most into Evanescence and Baroque. I just got a CD by Dogsounds called "The Ill-Tempered Synthesizer" which is Bach on computer.

Using the internet for music has led me to a lot of newer bands. My wife also switched from Country/New Age to Rap via the internet. Here latest favorite is 50-Cent. Go figure.
