[timmay9]

F'ing love Energy by TAiS. It has a ton of it too. And the Psych. Furs=Win.

[Gowienczyk]

Indeed. Most of the songs on the pop list could be found on youtube as music videos if you don't mind a little searching. For those unknown to you, anyway.

[KingProgdor]

YOU GOTTA
HELP ME RHONDA
HELP ME GET HER OUTTA MY HEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAART

Classic song.

[Zeleii]

I can tell you really like We're From Barcelona xD

[Lolicat]

You like Tilly and the Wall?!

[supernova1324]

I would prefer I Guess You're Right to Love Comes, but it's still a great choice.

[instantdeath999]

You should make a super generic "favorite songs" list ;)

[Gowienczyk]

You like Tilly and the Wall?!

Yes, why?


You should make a super generic "favorite songs" list ;)

I should!

[Zeleii]

Yes, why?



I should!
Better yet... super generic favorite mainstream tracks list!

[afterstasis]

i started to do a "list your favorite songs/albums" by genre thread but not only figured it'd just turn into an argument about genres, but also realized how bloated my list was becoming.

i did keep my progress saved in notepad, so maybe i'll get really bored some day and finish it up.

fine guys, i'll work on it soon...

on-topic: though i don't seem to share much in common with gowie's pop list i agree with quite a few of his post-hardcore picks.

I'm sad that Majority Rule only made two actual records.

s-s-streamable!!!

[Gowienczyk]

I think I could dig this.

[Lolicat]

Yes, why?

Nothing... I just sorta assumed they were one of those shameful bands to like since half the indie ***** on my campus love them.

Americana Folk + Pop = Win

[Lolicat]

Americana Folk + Pop = Win

I agree completely. I was nearly turned off by the gimmicky thing with the tap dancer, but it's too good.

[Gowienczyk]

Sometimes gimmicks and a novelty or two can be good for a band (artistically, musicially, whatever).

[kwami42]

i feel your pain as i consider drive like jehu my favorite post-hardcore band.

Not my favorite, but definitely awesome.

[Gowienczyk]

Update.

[Gowienczyk]

Updated due to recent grunge listening!

[Mister_Rogers69]

Nice list, but no Mudhoney or Green River under grunge?

[Gowienczyk]

Not huge on Mudhoney and consider Green River in the punk category more than what grunge became.

[Fizzeler]

You going to put your Prog. Metal list up there ;)

[Gowienczyk]

Maybe.

[supernova1324]

Now that I know who Jason Falkner is I completely agree.

[macamatic]

Why Aenima over Lateralus? Just wondering.

[neckermanncj]

hell yes! for I'm From Barcelona! :D

[McGerkey]

18 - Up All Night by French Horn Rebellion

**** yes!

Did I ever snd you the full album? It is so nice.

[chumsicles]

1 - We're From Barcelona by I'm From Barcelona




Ugh

I'm From Barcelona is TERRIBLE

[Gowienczyk]

Ugh

I'm From Barcelona is TERRIBLE

I don't follow your line of thinking, bro.

[McGerkey]

Ugh

I'm From Barcelona is TERRIBLE

Their lyrics are pretty bad, but no, they're awesome.

[afterstasis]

i've gotta agree with chimsicles on this one... one of my best friends loves these guys, but i'm not feeling 'em at all.

[Gowienczyk]

I think now I like other twee bands like The Boy Least Likely To better, anyway. Also, I think I like that 'Were From Barcelona' single more than the band's complete output anyway.

i love twee, but a lot of these more recent bands don't do it for me...

a few more recent bands who inject varying amounts of twee into their music that i do dig include liechtenstein, the pains of being pure at heart, and jeremy jay.

this, that song is so ****ing catchy! :D

[Ultimatum]

Why Aenima over Lateralus? Just wondering.

Probably because it's not as long and boring. I like the darker atmosphere. I don't think Gow likes any other Tool anyway.

[ImHotterThanYou]

The only thing on ALL of these lists that i enjoy is number 5 on the top grunge bands.

[Ultimatum]

Hey Gow, I'm just curious as to why you didn't choose The Underdark as Funeral Diner's album.

[Gowienczyk]

Because I like Three Sides Dead better, duh.

[Ultimatum]

Really? Always thought The Underdark was your favorite, for some reason.

[Gowienczyk]

How? I never really mention much about Funeral Diner outside of the fact I think they are one of the best post-hardcore/emo/etc bands out there (or were, anyway).
