[Nick]

So does anyone here actually listen to good music, or just generic, occasionally pseudo-intellectual melodic metal?

Jedi Mind Tricks are good.

Damn good.

Underground hip hop group from Philidelphia who are, for some strange twist of fate in my favor, coming to Halifax.

And these guys actually have a message. Not, skeet skeet skeet, or I got shot nine times.

[grrl]

NIN

Marilyn Manson

and of course TOOL/APC

Jane's Addiction/ Porno for Pyros


loads more......

[funetik]

I like a bit of everything now, but less band bands really.

Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Nightmares on Wax, most music Warp Records sign. Cassette boy - not music in the usual sense, but check 'em out

Jurassic 5 - They don't go on about getting shot either, so they're cool
Dilated Peoples.
Prodigy.
Chikinki.
Blur.
Ladytron.
Freezepop.
A few mainstream songs here and there..

Generally, these days, anyone that calls themselves The somethings are crap... I think anyway

[west]

current favorites:
>Cake
>White Stripes
>Black Keys
>Sufjan Stevens
>Sun Kil Moon
>Sondre Lerche
>Wilco
>Flaming Lips
>Decemberists
>Bright Eyes (when I'm being a moody bastard)
>Ted Leo & The Pharmacists
>Johnny Cash
>Iron & Wine
>Over the Rhine
>Spiritualized

Eve 6
Coldplay
Mudvayne
And I double love, love, Sarah McLachlan. She never gets old to me for some reason.
Howie Day

Edit
I been on a Mick Jagger kick.
A band I'd be interested in hearing more of is Dropkick Murphys. I only have one of their songs but it's getting overplayed in my house.

Bands?
Aren't you being a bit anti-band based music?

Music doesn't have to have to rely on the one/two guitar players, a drummer and a vocalist (come guitar player) with (shock!?) maybe a keyboard player

[Stan]

P.O.D.

The Cure

Praful (awesome Funkadelic Jazz!)

They all rock!

[Talapus]

Some of my favorite jazz:
the "Hot Five" and the "Hot Seven"
Dave Brubeck
Miles Davis
Freddie Hubbard
Wynton Marsalis

As for more modern music (that hasn't been mentioned):
Audioslave
Radiohead
311
Death Cab For Cutie

Edited for spelling

H-F there is plenty of places where you can talk about solo artists, this is about bands, and there are enough of them for it to be worth talking about...


It has been sooooo long since I listened to Bush, loved Glycerine by them though... good band

[formerly known as hf]

I didn't mean solo artists...

[Nixit]

You mean Miles Davis, Talapus? You should check out some Cannonball Adderly, James Carter, they are too good!

Mmm... Bands.

Weird Al, no doubt.
R.E.M.
Talking Heads
Green Day
System of a Down
Bloodhound Gang (only heard of few of theirs)
Steve Earle
Franz Ferdinand
Paul Simon
Bruce Springsteen
John Prime
Counting Crows
Smash Mouth
Cake
Red Hot Chili Peppers
The Who
U2

And others I'm sure...

[Stan]

Good list. I think I've been to concernts for about 5 of those bands.
