Oh yeah, Zao..

one of my first discoveries in the metal scene. (ugh, I hate that word)
Back then I used to like out to, while it is pretty bad. Well, not bad bad, but definitely not good either.
And I found out they where Christian Black Metal. I mean, what the fuck?

[Chernobog]

Porcupine Tree
Disarmonia Mundi
Soilwork
Amon Amarth
Devil Driver
Mega Herz
Pendulum
Scar Symmetry

Mmm, music elitism.

Hey there.

Christian Black Metal.

...wait what? Is that possible?

[matt]

The most underrated song from the most underrated band ever.

Submersed - Hollow

[Arquebusierx]

I have a very very eclectic taste in music. To me, being a true music fan is never refusing to listen to a song at least once, so have everything from Green Day to Immortal to the Statler Brothers on my itunes.

Now that I have that out of the way, I present the best song ever:

[bittertowncowboy]

cant stop listening to In a Big Country by Big Country.
goddamn catchy 80's music.

[Chdata]

Added link to SMWC Radio in first post. It's got tons of streamed songs.

Christian Black Metal.

...wait what? Is that possible?

'tis. I made a CD for a kid consisting of nothing but that stuff. I mean, the music is fine and dandy, but the whole idea of it just kind of ruins it for me.

Personally, I like stuff like Immortal. They don't even swear in their music! They just go on about battles... and how cold it is in Norway.

It just doesn't make much sense to me, given the normal lyrical content of Black Metal...but oh well.
eh, I've admittedly never heard anything by Immortal and I'm somewhat intrigued so I might check them out, but it's hard for me to get excited about anything black metal. Doesn't have the right feeling to it. I normally stick to melodic death.

Yeah, I find they have a whole different feel from other black metal bands. They aren't just screaming, their music builds up, crescendos, etc.

Check em out, just ignore the lame video with random video effects thrown in.

I bow humbly before this.

And I found out they where Christian Black Metal. I mean, what the fuck?

Its like white black metal. Diet black metal if you will. Black metal minus anything that could make something definitively black metal. You can't just get away with for replacing Vikings with Jesus, thats an unforgivable offense in my book.

[kilon]

But.. the whole atmosphere makes Black Metal .. Black Metal.

I mean, the rawness of it all. You can't just change the lyrics and say now it is pro Christian.

Ah well, I suppose there is an audience for it?

[rockdet]

If I had to do a personal top 5 of my fav' bands

1. Pink Floyd - Psychedelic/Prog Rock
2. Dream Theater - Prog Metal/Rock
3. Harmonium - Prog *Quebec* Rock
4. System of a Down - Nu' Metal
5. Mike Oldfield - Unknown (haha)

There has to be many more but 5 is 5. I love and live for music. I just don't like too commercial and pop-like things, plus pure "yeah f$?#@ you m@#$? f!#%$?!"-type rap. Also, vocal classical music, which I particularly hate because it kills the orchestra. Anyways, that's it, I guess!

[trough]

Some of my favorites are: The Budos Band, Booker T. and the MG's, Ahmad Jamal, and This.

[frickinawesum]

4. System of a Down - Nu' Metal

Ahhh asfkshflasdf! System of a Down! they're awesome thumbs up for youu

Me, well i really like hardcore-like music, also rock, some alternative, indie stuff too, but for me it just kinda depends on the song, it could be 'catchy' and not be classified under my music preferences.. like some of you'd said you have to give it a chance and listen to a particular song at least once in your life, otherwise, how would you dare criticize something you don't even know what is it about?

And for that, most of the time, me too!

Oh yeah, we got an agreement there! You know, a top5 of my songs would be so totally different. I'd have like, 2 from Yes, 1 from Dream Theater, 1 from Alan Parsons Project and 1 from Sonata Arctica. Having a catchy tune is far from having enjoyed the integrity of a band's career in its' own whole. And for that, Pink Floyd must be my favourite one.

Hey, I made this today. Is it any good?

[rockdet]

@UWBW: It's good stuff, but somehow that beat sounded too techno for my 8-bit ears. Maybe that was intended, maybe that was the idea, but I didn't get the beat part. As for the melody and progression, man, that's some great stuff. Keep up the idea.

Also, do you guys know about the band uneXpect? It sounds just too amazing to me!

"What the Hell?" would be the correct thing to say here. It certainly is different. It won't find it's way to my pc though.

[rockdet]

I think that's basically the purpose of their music, so that nobody can stay neutral towards it. You like it or not, and when you listen to it, it's basically "What the hell?" as well, in the good or bad way of things. And that's just why I love them!

How about this one?

I made it for a video game (died in its development, unfortunately), so it's rather over the top and such.

I made this little ditty while under the heavy influence of some Cave Story OST:
