music lovers help me!

No, Will Smith is and always will be the Fresh Prince. I'm not talking about the TV show, man.


By the way, Switch is terrible. I hate that song. It's not even hip hop. It's techno pop.

His new albums not so bad, but it's got nothing on his old stuff.

[Dee]

Schme, where are you originally from?

[Schme]

How do you mean?

[Antichrist_Online]

Some fairly ecclectic reccomendations from myself and a few punk/goth/deathrocker mates.

Tom Lehrer - Perodic table song, poisoning pigeons, irish ballard, etc.
Iron Madien (dance of death, wicker man, aces high, clansman....)
Venom - Skool Daze, Teachers Pet. (I know Mantas, he's my Sensei.)
The Clash - London Calling, Should I stay or should I go, Rock the Casbar
The Jam - Eton Rifles, Going underground
The Who - Substitute, Who are you?, My generation, pinball wizard.
The Dammed (anything)
Cpt Sensible - Happy Talk, While Wrecking the Car.
Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart
Rammstein - Du Hast
Nightwish - Over the hills and far away
The Smiths-Jack the Ripper
David Bowie- Space Oddity.

Yeah, Tom Lehrer has some great songs. "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park" makes me laught every time I hear it, and is right up there with "They're Coming To Take Me Away" by Napoleon XIV.

[Schme]

Some good stuff there. Jack the Ripper, Pinball Wizard, good stuff.

[Bran-Muffin]

Uh...

You have to add Johnny Cash.

The Dresdon Dolls
A Dozen Furies
Senses Fail
The All-American Rejects
Lucky Boys Confusion

Just a few that I like.

Well like everyone else I listened to just one song to see what I think and this is the results.

-Lucky Boys Confusion 'Hey Driver' - A good song. I have never heard of these guys before but they sound pretty good. (My wife Darscilla loved this song.)

- The All-American Rejects 'Swing Swing' - I have heard this song before but did not know who it was. It was very good. (Darscilla was singing... Not good people)

- Senses Fail 'Buried a lie' - Another very good song. I have never heard of them or the song before.

- A Dozen Furies 'Push Away' - Ha ha, well it first started off and I had to turn my hearing aide down, LOL, it is a joke people. I used to like this kind of music a long time ago. (Darscilla gives it a thumbs down, the only part she liked was the chorus.)

- The Dresdon Dolls - I still have not heard anything from them.

Oh and this is way off of the kind of music I listen to. Ha ha, but it was good hearing them. Thank you.

The Dresdon Dolls..

They have a very interesting sound to them, they have a song called "coin Operated Boy" I find that is a good song.

How do you mean?

What's so hard about my question? I was asking where you're from...

[formerly known as hf]

Someone mentioned Punjabi MC? That's definatly an album to listen to...

Also (and plugging my favourite band here...) There are some good remixes of MUSE out there - look for the Sunburn and Newborn remixes.

Now for some of my favourite Indipop (Indian) dance bands - Bombay Vikings - Annamika - The biddu Orchestra and Malkit Singh

Also look for MARTHA and "Paula Wild and Wild Rebels" - some Czech pop...

I can't remember the artists - but "French F*ck" (without the asterix) is a bit of a weird, but in a good way, track I've come across

Oh - and finally - see if you can download any of the WipeOut soundtracks (Playstation games) - they're really good - and often feature exclusives by the Chemical Brothers/ other people I can't think of right now...

[wichita]

Lot's of good live bootlegs here.

Okay I didn't even get a chance to read this whole post when I checked out the MUSE songs you said and well I have not heard them yet but one is done by Timo Maas and the other by Paul Oakenfold so you get my vote. Okay now I am going to have to read the rest of this post. LOL


=== Okay I read it and I have one of the WipeOut cd's and it is very good.

What's so hard about my question? I was asking where you're from...

I'm afraid I do not understand. It is likely just me. I am sort of slow on the uptake sometimes. Could you perhaps elaborate on what it is you mean?

[Nixit]

Uh... like where you were born? That's my guess.

Thank you, Nixit.

Where were you born, Schme?
