Official Rock music thread

[bd007h]

Saw a Rap/Hip Hop thread and a Country Music thread (two genres I'm not a fan of) but no rock music thread. Classic Rock, Punk, Ska, Metal, alternative, Indie, folk, basically anything with guitars/drums/bass that isn't country....

Some of my favorite bands of all-time are:

Nirvana
Foo Fighters
Our Lady Peace
Queens of the Stone Age
The Offspring
Weezer
Red Hot Chili Peppers
The Beatles

Although my taste in rock music is very extensive and my favorite bands can vary week to week/day to day depending on my mood. I have almost 30,000 songs on my computer/ipod hahaha. If I like one song by a band I'll download their entire discography.

What are your favorite bands/singers/songs/etc.?

Gotta love CCR. My sister made a pretty good CCR Greatest Hits Mix CD a few years ago that I put on my computer. It has all their classic hits.

Re: Official Rock music thread

I'm slanted more towards alternative.

Weezer is great, but I'm starting to slide away from them. They still haven't nailed it since Pinkerton, but Hurley had some good sounds.

Here are some bands I've got in my list of songs to get:

Vampire Weekend
Matt and Kim (so much yes)
The Thermals
Cults
Anberlin
The Wombats
Passion Pit
Metric
She Wants Revenge
Foster the People
Freelance Whales
Manchester Orchestra
I'm From Barcelona
TV On The Radio
The Futureheads

At least that's what my current band rotation sounds like. I've also got a Last.fm.

Looks like bd and I have "SUPER" taste. Interesting, as I've never listened to 5 of his top 8 bands (last 12 months), lol.

Re: Official Rock music thread

I love Weezer. More so their first 4 or 5 albums though, although I thought Hurley was a surprisingly good album (not just because Hurley is my last name, either haha). My first CD was Weezer's Blue album. Got it for Christmas from my Sister in 1994 (I was 8).

Weezer's one of two artists I'd actually go buy the CD for.

The second is "Weird Al", because he's my homeboy.

Spoiler

I actually have that brown one. It's awesome.

Honestly, though, I've gotten pretty into Vampire Weekend, Matt and Kim, and The Wombats recently.

Re: Official Rock music thread

I only started listening to music to a decent degree about 2 years ago so there's still so much I haven't heard yet and my interests can change a bit but essentially I like classic rock, hard rock (to a degree) and I guess you would say alternative. Started with the old stuff and worked myself up to the new music and like both so I have a pretty decent mix of stuff I listen to.

I'd like to last.fm but I never use it. I do most of my music listening on my Zune so.

EDIT: Oops forgot to list my artists I like.

The Who
Pink Floyd
The Beatles
Led Zeppelin
The Moody Blues
Heartless Bastards
Tame Impala
Arctic Monkeys
The Black Angels

Those get the most played songs from me.

Re: Official Rock music thread

I used to be really in to modern rock but the last 5-7 years I've been listening mostly to R&B. However...

Breaking Benjamin(former now..)
12 Stones
Alter Bridge
Black Stone Cherry
Shooter Jennings(can you consider him southern rock maybe?)
Sevendust
Metallica
Atreyu



Theory of a Deadman was solid in their first 2 albums but have turned to **** since then IMO.

Re: Official Rock music thread

Are we allowed to talk concerts in this thread as well (notwithstanding the concert thread, wherever it is)? Cuz I'm going to see the Foo Fighters in November and it is going to be awesome I've also seen Muse (3x), Jimmy Eat World, U2, and Brand New. I want to see more bands live soon.

To the thread topic, my favorite bands at the moment are Foo Fighters, Lostprophets, Jimmy Eat World, and AC/DC.
