What is your favorite style of music?

[Joe Schmo]

I like a big range of music, I enjoy classical at times, e.g. Beethoven and Mozart.
I like light rock like Coldplay, Greenday and Keane.
I also enjoy rougher stuff, Billy Talent, Aiden (only when I'm deppressed) and a few others

Better than all that toher stuff though, (in my opinion anyway) is the Christian Screamo group, Underoath, for a sample, here's my current favourite song, (the louder you play it the better it sounds): (sorry about the silly video, it's the best I could find with this song on youtube)

That youtube link --- How can people listen to such devil rubbish!!???

dear oh dear.sigh. 

I mean no disrespect ftf

I completely agree.

You are completely correct Scriabin.

You know, it brakes my haert to hear good kids listen to this devil's music!

This music encourages drugs, bad behaviour etc etc, to say the least. Believe me  know. But as Scriabin mentioned, I could go on forever listing the negative effects of this rubbish music, and my conclusions onto that.

[genteelgentile]

Metal, punk, stuff like Matisyahu, but mostly metal.  METAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Check out Municipal Waste.  Sorry to those that disagree, but loud, ugly music is beautiful

Hey Boergeneral,

Didnt SA not have tv until 1976? South Africa was vehimently anti television.

You are perfectly correct cosmo 

The reason our leaders (back then, they were TRUE leaders) did not want TV's, is because they feared the exposure of evil to their people. And they were spot on!

Imagine if they saw what is on TV these days! They would turn around in their graves!!!!!!

Another interesting thing that was ILLEGAL in SA up until the 80's I think, was pornography. Once again, people did not want to be exposed to such filty and evil.

You see, White South Africans (Boers), are VERY VERY religious people. And we are VERY srong believers in the Tanach/Torah. So really, i suppose one could say that to some extent, Boers are Jewish in a way, except we believe Jesus is the Messiach, and we don't follow ALL of the 613 Laws (but many of those laws are followed by the Boers-because as I say, we are really Tanach Christians).
Am i wrong to say this?

I completely agree with the OLD leaders - Pornography, filth on TV, cigarretes, filth/evil music etc etc, will be illegal if I were to become president of SA, and im sure that the majority of the Boers would agree.

It's not the devil's music, Underoath is a christian band, and that song is about how bad life is if you ignore God.

[Lewinsky Stinks, Dr. Brennan Rocks]

I like a lot of hard alternative and heavy metal/hardcore--i.e. Nirvana, Seether, Megadeth, System, Lamb of G-d, Slipknot, ICP, Mushroomhead, Killswitch, Poison the Well, At The Drive In, Slayer, etc.

The one exception is Metallica. They are the phoniest band I have ever known and I will always hate them for what they did to Napster.

You ever listen to Pantera?

I heard one song of theirs. It was pretty cool. I don't have any of their material though.

You should listen to GREAT music.  You're too smart for that stuff.

Go check out JBs ask the ape thread there is some great music posted there!

I wonder how long it's going to take me to convince you that Underoath are great...

See what you think of this one:

Yelling and screaming.  Noise doesn't equal music.

Listen to 'classical' music.  (I hate that bloody label)

I like some classical music, but I find that I can relate to underoath better, their songs often seem to tell the story of my life.

The closer from their newest album, go on, give it a try:

'Classical' music tells all those stories of life, but in rich, vivid color.

Don't be so simplistic.  You're relating to the words in the songs.  Words are cheap. 

Music alone tells us far more than any silly lyrics can.  Great music, that is.

[Joe Schmo]

Says a great deal about you.

[ftf]

Lyrics can be very interesting, and the style of music from underoath fits the lyrics and helps the meaning.

Just to show the broadness of my musical tastes, here's some classical that I like:

I can't blame you, FTF.  I had great music all around me growing up.  Your probably had no music growing up.

Listen to this from 3 minutes 12 seconds:

I was not isolated from music as I grew up, different people like different things, I personally don't particularly enjoy vocal classical music, I think it just sounds a bit weird, in that piece it's definitely not helped by dreadful soloists. That rendition of Oltremare I proovided a link to was a poor recording, sorry, I should have checked it first. Here's a nother piece of 'classical' that I like (this time it isn't a bad recording):

I just can't understand why people don't like underoath, (none of my family likes it, my father goes as far as to describe it as an assault on his ears).

To each his own.  You might like Shakespeare, but I think that Steven King is just as good.
