Now thats a quality list, dont get many people into the good 'ol music much anymore. Oasis should be releasing their new album soon, noel says he has 66songs lined up, might make a double album, or just a single. Bout time they released on i say!

I say...Oasis should die, along with that list. God i hate everyone of those bands. But good luck with Indie...maybe at some point a good band may come along, that reminds me; The Yeah Yeah Yeah's are vaguely acceptable. Try them.

well I kinda say the same now. but I still enjoy listing to all the old stuff like that (Y) brings back good memories.

Don't listen to that. Listen to Refused and you will be forgiven.

Buy Refused - The shape of punk to come

But dont try and expand your musical knowledge just to sound cool, do it because you love music, only then will your quest for musical zen be fufilled.

You do realise how immensely hypocritical that post is?

i think so, a few of my mates love music, but only listen to one type. i used to only listen to happy hardcore (dance), now ill listen to anything, from hardcore dance to reggae. yet i still love music now as much as i did then. meh

my bad, kinda read the post wrong, but hey, its still a good point!!

annnddd... i think he ment hypocritical in the way you wrote the post, saying not to listen to what i was asking about, but to listen to what you like, then saying to expand ones knowledge. could be wrong like

So you say you can't love music if your music taste is narrowminded/focused?

I'm not saying that. But you said (simplified):

"Listen to the music you want"

"Listen to (XXX band of a different genre)"

If he listens to music that you're telling him to, that would be him listening to it to fit in and be cool, rather than obviously listening to what he wants.

pacman if you rate happy hardcore as dance then you didnt really like it . Not being offensive but its like people calling everything trance for example special D... when trance is totally different to what they say ( e.g. liquid life - new dawn ).

i guesse its the same as someone saying just cos a song has a guitar its punk? annoying.

but yes... my contribution to the thread... uhhh listen to... uhhh... antiflag.. now that is punk... thats all i got...

Totally agree. Hardcore is not Dance, it is Hardcore.

Also, when people say "I love Hard House, Scooter is great" erm, excuse me? He is euro-pop not Hard House, and is cheesy as hell!

On the subject, how annoying is it searching for dance tunes on Kazaa or the like and a filename comes up "dance techno rave acid jungle hardcore - Best tune ever ever ever 5"... Erm, so which is it? Then you download it and it's 123BPM rubbish. Sorry to whinge lol...

Anyway, try some older punk music... The Clash, the buzzcocks, Sex Pistols etc... some real vintage class :mellow:

Do many people say that? I don't exactly follow the house music scene (That is to say I don't like it :mellow:), but I know scooter, they did that shit Pink Floyd cover. Kinda like saying "I am pure emo, and my favourite band is Busted!"
