Alaska Darin Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 Are you being sarcastic? They are about as punk as Britney Spears is a musician. 145856[/snapback] I'm listening to the Ramones right now. That help?
Hawk Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 Howard Sprague and Floyd humped Goober,,,,SQUEEEEELLL LIKE A PIG!!!!
rolly Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 Just curious, what is the difference between punk and emo??
IBTG81 Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 I'm listening to the Ramones right now. That help? 145868[/snapback] Yes.
SilverNRed Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 I cant stand Avril Lavigne, good charlotte, simple plan or any other pop bands in the country. TBS isnt very well known. They just started selling a lot of CD's ... Look at my SIG - I dont like PUNK. I like EMO. I like: _____ Taking Back Sunday (best band ever - not 'pop'ish) Rufio Linkin Park (most 'pop'ish band I like) My Chemical Romance Dashboard Confessional ... etc Music is all relative to the person 145858[/snapback] Taking Back Sunday kicks ass. Similar bands that are just as good would be Sugarcult and Brand New. No idea on any official classification of any of those bands. Nine Inch Nails and Deftones need to come back soon. And I wish Incubus would go back to sounding the way they did from 1997-2001. And Weezer should consider making their next album with songs that last more than 2 minutes each (see also: the Blue Album).

I agreed with every single thing you just said. TBS is friggin awesome. Brand new is good too. NIN was great in the day. I just saw a Incubus concert in Rochester last year and they are way different! I'm glad ton see someone share's my taste.
daquixers Posted December 4, 2004 Author Posted December 4, 2004 Just curious, what is the difference between punk and emo?? 145907[/snapback] Bands like Blink 182, Greenday ... and some others are 'considered' PUNK. Emo stands for 'emotional' and some emo bands are: Taking Back Sunday Dashboard Confessional Rufio Brand New Thursday Finch (some of their stuff) Further Seems Forever* Dead Poetic* Mae* * Bands that are considered "emo" but I personally dont like.

Both are great albums. I saw Incubus and the Deftones together (!) back in November 2000 in Toronto. Amazing show. Deftones played for over 2 hours and covered all the best songs from their first three albums. I also saw Incubus at Ozzfest 2000 in Columbus. They were a lot more agressive then, and they actually rocked pretty hard.

JStranger76 Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 I like all the stuff Rico listed and some of the stuff SilverNRed and daquixers listed but never cared for Incubus. Just seemed they were a regular alternative band(whatever the hell that means anyways) who just threw in a record scratcher guy just for no reason. Some of their early stuff wasn't too bad but as soon as they went for radio that pretty much killed it for me.

SilverNRed Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 While I'm at it, I'll stand up for one of the best, and definitely the most underrated, bands of the past 10 years. Third Eye Blind. Averaging 9 great songs or so per album over 3 albums is basically unheard of. Too bad the only thing everyone knows them for is "Semi-Charmed Life" (the doot-doot-doot, doot do-doot doot song).

I love both those albums. Morning View had some great songs but it was much weaker from start to finish. I didn't even bother with the last one.
JStranger76 Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 I never liked TEB much, but it is unfortunate when one song like that can just make you hate a band forever. Had they never did that song, I still wouldn't listen too them much, but I definitley wouldn't hate em'.
daquixers Posted December 4, 2004 Author Posted December 4, 2004 Here is an insight into EMO music : http://www.news-star.com/stories/072702/ent_35.shtml

JStranger76 Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 Both those albums. I never owned any but a have a few friend who like em' so I've heard most of their stuff. Haven't heard any of the newest album though.
kegtapr Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 Anyone who likes linkin park and some rap will LOVE this album - it is nice!! Listen to Numb/Encore especially 145790[/snapback] Awesome! Check it out!
daquixers Posted December 4, 2004 Author Posted December 4, 2004 Awesome! Check it out! 145945[/snapback] Yeah - but im more important than you guys.
