allright, this place has kinda become like family to me, so i wanna learn more about you guys (and gals) that post here. so let's talk music, eh? who's your favorite bands? i know xwingband's into jazz. here's my two favorite polar-opposite bands:

Zeke (ugly, manly, hyperspace-speed motorcycle chainsaw rock)

The Go-Go's (as girly as it gets, wrote great hooks, and Jane Wiedlin is adorable)

so what do you other folks dig?

Paul Van Dyke
John Digweed

It'd be hard to narrow down my favorites in Jazz...

Maynard Ferguson (because I'm a trumpeter [:p])
Herbie Han**** and the Headhunters (Funky [8D])
John Coltrane (Giant Steps is my favorites)
Dizzy Gillespie
Stan Kenton
Count Basie (basically all the classic swing bands)
Everyone has to listen to Miles Davis...
etc...

My absolute favorite is ska music though. I'm afraid most older people will have no clue what that is but here some of my favorites:

Reel Big Fish
Five Iron Frenzy
Save Ferris
Catch22
Mighty Might Bosstones

And just because I love an irish jig with some rock thrown in:

Flogging Molly
Dropkick Murphies

xwing-

you're into RBF? awesome!!! i always thought they sounded like if you combined a rock band with a college basketball brass band. you should check out the Aquabats if you haven't already, too.

oh, and BTW, when i owned a recording studio a few years back, i produced a really cool ska band called The Madhatters. fun stuff.

and for the record, flogging molly is one of the greatest bands of all time.

Yes, RBF is my favorite. I regularly wear the maroon "lion crest" t-shirt. I have listened to the Aquabats. They're okay... I can't put my finger on it but something just doesn't jive with me. They're in the same boat as The Planet Smashers and few others.

I have heard of the Madhatters. I have a friend who's tastes are pretty limited... to ska, and he had over 60GB of ska.

I'd have to agree though... Flogging Molly rocks my world. In highschool my Senior Lit. teacher let us play music during essays. She normally played this weird junk on her boombox... I didn't like it. I said "This is junk" and pulled out speakers (yes, I carried speakers around for shared listening[:D]) and turned it full blast to Drunken Lullabies.[8D] Needless to say she yelled at me to "Turn that noise off!" LOL

cool, xwing. flogging molly absolutely rules, no doubt. their last album had some of the most ridiculously lush production i've ever heard.

the madhatters' guitarist had this weird quick: he could do power chord hammmer-ons so fast, it was almost a twitch. when we were mixing the record, we were like, "is he using a wah-wah pedal????" nope, twitchy hammer-ons.

60GB of ska??? holy crap. i wish i had that kinda time to download music.

My favorite music is movie soundtracks - Star Wars (of course[8D]), LOTR, and many, many, others.

yeah, zeppelin's overrated. big time.

xwing-
the aquabats are one of those bands that you gotta see live. i agree on their studio records, it falls a little flat. live, however, they dress up in sci-fi outfits, and have "bad guys" (in equally ridiculous costumes) attack them halfway through the show. so it's more of a visual spectacle, i guess.

is Monique Powell still hot? i haven't checked up on Save Ferris in ages.

Save Ferris broke up. Monique Powell is still pretty hot by my standards. As far as I know she hasn't made an new recordings... it's too bad. She could have been "the" girl of ska. Gwen Stefani before she sold out could have evolved into that too, but yeah... ska needs a good woman in it.

I listen to just about everything except Country and Metal/Hard Rock.

Lately though I've been very into a group called Narcotango. Check 'em out.

I'm a big fan of Coldplay, as well as music I describe as "ambient", like Boards of Canada.

In generic terms, I can handle just about anything except country or rap.

Myself? Oh, I'm so glad you asked! [:D]

Being a chile of the 80's, of course anything that features big hair and leather pants. Love hip-hop, not so much the modern stuff, although I would recommend Slum Village and Little Brother for some world class lyricism. Speaking of "world", I like British hip-hop artist Streets. Lately, I've been into anime soundtracks, and HEAVY. Notably, anything by Yoko Kanno (the "Cowboy Bebop" and the "Wolf's Rain" soundtracks are SOLID). Also, the "Ghost and The Shell" soundtracks. If you own x-box, and have games that allow custom soundtracks, use the Cowboy Bebop and Ghost and the Shell for both Need For Speed Underground 2 and Black. Instant classics and will ramp up the replay value of each.

You don't need to see any identification.

I guess that makes me the heavy music guy then...
Music just is not music to me unless it has emotion, and (for me) anger is the most raw emotion you can convey. Because of this my favorite bands are MudVayne, Korn, Slipknot, etc. I am in to most heavy metal and death metal.

I can't really say that there is any music I don't like. I tend to listen/play depending on what instrument I have in my hands. Bass is the Motown,Funk,Jazz,Blues thing all the way. Donald "Duck" Dunn is one of the coolest cats with a P-Bass. If I'm on the Brass I like big band, classical and of course great movie soundtracks. When I reach for a guitar that tends to be when things kick in to overdrive and you guys that are fans of 80's metal up to the great metal that scaarmor just mentioned. My Jackson's and custom modified(by me and the previous owner) Mesa/Boogie require heavy distortion and wicked tone. Like I said different animals at different times and the XM Radio gets the most use on the Disney channel.
