Queen, a classic band. Brian May is inspiring at times. 8/10.

Rage Against The Machine.

[Hellfire]

Great band, awesome bassist, but the musics feel and sound a little too repetitive.
Gorillaz

[Jasper]

EDIT (for being to late): Nice! Go go gorilaz (okay, they're pretty good, but I don't listen to them on a daily basis)

EELS

[mcj metroid]

EELS


weel, as you can probably deduce from mey name i've been a big eels fan from the beginning. No matter how gay you are, you cannot deny that everett has created some of the most shit rocking an heart touching music over the years:shock:
And yeh, he may be getting on a little bit in his old age but i still would do him and his sexi musical mind :kiss:

mey turn :bouncy: (do which eva one you know/ have an opinion on)
the knife/justice/ daedelus.................or if that's too eclectic for you; the arcade fire :love:

[Wesley]

The Knife are simply beautiful. Ah the Arcade Fire... I am so happy with their new album. The best I've heard this year.

Blind Willie McTell

[Dan Dare]

[mcj metroid]

I give them 1/10 haha

SCISSOR SISTERS

[Tom]

5/10 not my cup of tea at all, but i'll give them some credit as i know that they do what they do well.

if that makes sense...

and a band:
Deathcab for Cutie

[The Bard]

Mega Lame. 0/10. In the face.

Boston :heh:...actually no...I'll go for Lamb of God.

[Wesley]

Man, you guys suck for not knowing ol' McTell.

Lamb.... 1/10.

Sorry, can't stand.

Sufjan Stevens.

[mario_jr]

Man, you guys suck for not knowing ol' McTell.

Lamb.... 1/10.

Sorry, can't stand.

Sufjan Stevens.

just cause they're not your cup of tea doesn't mean they suck, they have talent and I'd give them a 10. Just like Death Cab for Cutie, I don't like them but I'd give them a 6.

As for the person, or band, I can't really give rating as I have no idea who that is.

[Slaggis]

there was no band above me so can't rate!

The Gossip

[Dan Dare]

are fairly interesting, but they come off as a bit of a poor man's yeah yeah yeah's.

Gary Numan

[killthenet]

Sounds expensive. 6/10

Sonic Youth

[gmac]

classic band 9/10

Interpol

[Razz]

Cansei de ser sexy (CSS)

[Dan Dare]

I fracking love Interpol. They're utterly bitchin.

[Wesley]

Th dears!@@ 10000/10

Bloc Party

[harribo]

8/10 great band

Muse

[Fresh]

8/10 great band

Muse

10/10 - orgy.

Blondie

[spirited away]

10/10 - orgy.

Blondie

[eel]

Architecture In Helsinki

if yhoo hate them, may you recieve redemption in the arms of lucifer :heh:
if you've actually never heard of them, FOOKING DO IT NOW :yay:

[killthenet]

They are great, and they tried their hardest to get me into their gig, but sadly could not. They're some darn good Aussies though. 8/10.

Pavement

[gmac]

great band 9/10
Crooked Rain Crooked Rain is a great album

Arctic Monkeys

[BeerMonkey]

some good songs wouldnt go buy album

4/10

Smashing Pumkins

[killthenet]

Overrated pap. A Sonic Youth rip off with a whiny voiced singer.

Abba

[Jasper]

The beginning of modern, swedish pop in an incredibly outrageous costume for it time. Full of hits (and sparkles on their uniforms). Not my kind of thing, but it's been hugely popular, so it's a nice, round (double-round) 8.

Maybe you don't know these guys, but I'll give it a go anyway:

dEUs

If you don't know them, finjd some music from them ('seven days, seven weeks' is a good one - and don't forget 'little arithemtics'). Really, they're top-notch.

[Oxigen_Waste]

Fantastic indie/alternative-rock band in every single aspect (not considering pocket revolution, wich was average).
8.5/10

I don't know if anyone here knows them, but they deserve credit, so:
Paracoccidioido-Micosisproctitis-Sarcomucosis
(excelent name, don't you agree?)

[Tom]

don't you remeber what happened last time someone posted a ridiculously obscure band?

I did a google and found their myspace. Not impressed, They sound like a pretty weak attempt at Cannibal Corpse 2/10

Secret Chiefs 3

[The Bard]

I did a google and found their myspace. Not impressed, They sound like a pretty weak attempt at Cannibal Corpse 2/10

:blank: Gee, that's peculiar, considering that Cannibal Corpse are without a doubt the worst band of all time.

[Oxigen_Waste]

:blank: Gee, that's peculiar, considering that Cannibal Corpse are without a doubt the worst band of all time.

That's correct (Tomb Of The Mutilated is still an awesome album, but...)

They sound like a pretty weak attempt at Cannibal Corpse 2/10

Who the hell confuses pornogrind with death metal? You clearly do not know what you're talking about. That's almost as bad as saying Gut is an attempt at Carcass.

[Dan Dare]

ghah! fucking metalheads!:p

[stuwii]

what do you think of the fray, lets get this tread running again

[Tom]

I cannot believe I get aggro from not one but two people for comparing 2 bands...
I never stated a preference for or against cannibal corpse, however they are generally considered to be a good example of their genre so seemed like a reasonable band to compare too.

And as for not getting the specific genre correct... wtf... It was 8 in the morning, on their crappy myspace page hearing the first (very very poor) 30 seconds of two tracks.

I'm not a 'metal head', so I don't know exact genres, when TBH alot fo the differences between genres are based on lyrical content, which given the vocal style used, the majority listeners will hear no difference between the two. I listen to a lot of metal, and have seen a lot of metal acts live, but I also like to spread my wings a bit, and try some varietyso I am not, and mnever claimed to have been, an expert on obscure metal genres.

Thank you

[MunKy]

Ok then........
Sepultura (Max Cavalera era) or Strapping Young Lad, you choose which to judge.

[|Laguna|]

Ok then........
Sepultura.

My brother is always playing that. It's like proper metal isn't it? Sorry to sound like a pansy, but I find them a bit loud and meaningless - but then again, I've never appreciated metal so what would I know.

My turn right?

L'arc-en-Ciel

[Woz]

what do you think of the fray, lets get this tread running again

Possibly the worst-most-undeserving-of-the-success-they-have band to ever enter my ears. I'd rather be death than to hear them again.

Now, Oasis.....

[Dan Dare]

Are shit. Dinosaurs from 94 who haven't realised the game is up and nobody cares.

now Goldfrapp on the other hand...

[gmac]

..are nothing special

The Rapture

[Problematique]

5/10. Cowbells are all well and good but I've never been that impressed. Saw them at Glastonbury in '04 and failed to inspire me to be honest.

Pure Reason Revolution

They're a brilliant new prog band, love the harmonies.

http://www.myspace.com/purereasonrevolution

Either listen to Twyncyn/Trembling Willows or Victorious Cupid. Cracking choons. They were my favourite band of last year and their album goes onto my shortlist for album of the decade ;)

[BeerMonkey]

there ok nothing special thou


Queens of the stone age

[The Bard]

Pretty decent, or used to be. They suck now though.

Dio.

[ThePigMarcher]

9/10 for the early stuff , only a 5 or 6 for the later releases.

Nine Inch Nails (I had to , didn't I)

[Gizmo]

7/10, I like some of the songs but there are some I don't :P

Funeral For A Friend

[Herr Dark Wolf]

Hate them: 2/10

Ocean Colour Scene

[martinist]

not a grate band, but not a bad one either

5/10

KoRn

[the_villa]

there ok nothing special 6/10

Queen

[DCK]

Nice songs but really something I need to be in the mood for - 7/10

Pearl Jam

[killthenet]

Overrated by the numbers grunge. They bore me a bit.

Boredoms

[Oxigen_Waste]

I'm not a 'metal head', so I don't know exact genres, when TBH alot fo the differences between genres are based on lyrical content, which given the vocal style used

:nono: :nono: This is a sad day for metal music everywhere.

Now...Boredoms right?
Well... it's a noise band from Japan, that's always a quality indicator!! And after a few years hearing them, I give them a solid 7/10.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor

[Zombie_Fan]

:nono: :nono: This is a sad day for metal music everywhere.

Now...Boredoms right?

Godspeed You! Black Emperor

Pretty good band 6/10.

Dead Kennedys

[weeyellowbloke]

Quality name, quality band. Gotta love California Uber Alles and their songs have some hilarious lyrics. Top draw American punk, 8/10.

Pixies

[Roostophe]

Quality name, quality band. Gotta love California Uber Alles and their songs have some hilarious lyrics. Top draw American punk, 8/10.

Pixies

Pretty class band, some great tunes. 8/10.

Gym Class Heroes

[Shotgun2k]

Good name, good for what it is, but not for me

6/10

A

[Problematique]

4/10

They're just a bit generic IMO. Nothing's ever stood out for me by them but it's not my kind of music anyway.

Mogwai

[Nintendo Fan]

Never heard of them.



Linkin Park

[Chuck]

Shit. Listened to them when i was 12.

Tenacious D

[Stefkov]

Had some good songs, I'm not a fan though.

Hot Hot Heat (have I already said that?)

[Problematique]

Never heard of them.

You could at least go on myspace and have a listen...

For HHH, 8/10. Make Up the Breakdown is an excellent album. Never got the second though cause I kept forgetting.

Jeff Buckley

Oh, and Mogwai too while you're at it if you've heard of them...

[My Buttons are Magic!]

Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah made me cry one night....lol 9

Smashmouth

[BeerMonkey]

there alright pleasantly surprised really just had a listen 7/10

Bloc party

[Problematique]

7/10

They're pretty good but I've never listened to them properly enough to make a proper verdict.

Hope of the States

[Oxigen_Waste]

7/10

They're pretty good but I've never listened to them properly enough to make a proper verdict.

Hope of the States

After I mentioned Godspeed You! Black Emperor and someone rated them with a totally unfair 6/10, you mention mogwai and some asshole says he doesn't know them and doesn't even investigate... but the shocking part is the band he then mentioned! Linkin Park. Something tells me people are not into good music in this thread. And for mentioning Jeff Buckley and Mogwai, kudos!

As for hope of the states... I would say I'm amazed you know them, but then again, no, you're british and so are they. Anyway... they're a very decent post-rock/indie band and it's a shame they had to call it quits. Oh well... be that as it may, they're a very competent effort, specially on Left and I rate them a solid 7.5/10.

Next poster:
Minus The Bear or Tool... pick one.

[gmac]

Tool - amazing band Aenima and Lateralus are great albums and 10000 days aint bad either :) 9/10

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

[Problematique]

BRMC - 8/10

I didn't like Howl so much, but Take Them On On Your Own is a great album, I still listen to it quite a bit. Gotta love those tubescreamers.

Hope of the States' best work was on their demos and their B-sides...I've got almost their entire catalogue and there's some incredibly beautiful stuff in there.

Continuing with my beautiful music theme ;)

Sigur Rós

Gotta love Agaetis Byrjun and ()

[Jimbob]

Pretty good, havn't heard a lot of their stuff, so they get an 8/10

Bon Jovi

[The Bard]

Bon Jovi. Reading those words are enough to induce a heaving mortal nausea. Absolutely one of the bands in the world that I would have put down. Old testament style.

I'm not even going to dignify them with a rating, seeing as that would imply that they're actually worth something.

Kalmah

Kalmah

You knew I would be the one answering, didn't you?

While I preffer Children Of Bodom or Norther in this whole extreme power metal & melodic death metal fusion, they're quite an interesting bunch. Not a great band, but certainly one worth checking, if you're into the "genre". If I'm correct, on this last album they leaned towards death metal a bit more... Still, a competent effort. I rate them a 6.9/10 (not good enough to be 7/10). :D

HORSE the band

[Ollie]

Fucking quality, nintendocore at its best, CUT CUT CUT! 8/10

All That Remains

[harribo]

Not really heard of them before. Listening to their myspace now its alright 6/10 for now but I might go and listen to them some more.

Fugazi

[Oxigen_Waste]

Not really heard of them before. Listening to their myspace now its alright 6/10 for now but I might go and listen to them some more.

Fugazi

I don't think I need to explain... 10/10.

Björk (I know she's not a band...)

[The Bard]

Woah, that was unexpected from OW. Bjork, hmm, she's been around awhile, reminds me of the crappy old 80 electronica acts like Cher, except less crappy :heh:. Alright if you're pasted and you want some easy listening with your mates, but not so good otherwise 5.5/10.

Blind Guardian. (Yeah, I know OW is probably gonna answer this one aswell, but if he doesn't give them 9/10 or higher, I'm going to explode :heh:)

[Mundi]

love it love it love it love it. The last album wasn´t that great though....
9/10


Frou Frou

[The Bard]

The last album wasn´t that great though....


Skalds And Shadows...

[Oxigen_Waste]

Blind Guardian. (Yeah, I know OW is probably gonna answer this one aswell, but if he doesn't give them 9/10 or higher, I'm going to explode :heh:)

Actually I hate Blind Guardian... I know they're great, but I'm entitled not to like them. Taking this into consideration I will let someone else reply. :D (And btw, I absolutely love Björk... is it weird that both Björk and Nile are in my top 10 artists of all time?)

[Nintendo Fan]

The only song of theirs i've heard is, Another Stranger Me. I think that song is awesome, so... based on that i'll give it a 10/10 =D


Bullet For My Valentine

[The Bard]

Bullet For My Valentine: Talentless "musicians" trying to make their music sound complex, while simultaneously trying to hide the fact that they actually only play about 3 different notes every half minute. The whole strummy chord thing really doesn't work for "metal" bands either. 4/10.

Actually I hate Blind Guardian... I know they're great

Now that just doesn't hold water.

(And btw, I absolutely love Björk... is it weird that both Björk and Nile are in my top 10 artists of all time?)

Yes. Yes it is. But hey, I don't take issue with Nile being there. They're in my top 20 too ;).

Edit: Crap, forgot to say a band. Here's something most people should know:

Slayer.

[Mundi]

Skalds And Shadows...

Well not all songs were bad on it. To me this album was 2 good songs and the rest average, at least compared to they're other albums

[The fish]

Slayer.


Haven't heard much of their stuff, but what I have, I liked. :smile:
7/10

Iron Maiden

[Dog-amoto]

Iron Maiden - 9/10

Only taken off a point cos of the phase in the late 90s when they had Blaze Bayley when Bruce left.

Motley Crue

[The Bard]

Motley Crue

Same boat as Bon Jovi, and hence, I won't even dignify them with a rating.

In Flames.

[Mr. Bananagrabber]

10/10 ;)
P.S. When it comes to Maiden albums, The X Factor is easily the most mature and epic. Even if it isn't the most 'metal'.
I'm seeing Blaze this christmas :D
EDIT- Oooh, uhh... The Wurzels.

[Oxigen_Waste]

10/10 ;)

That's a triple mess-up. Rating In Flames 0/10 is a very good indicator that you are indeed retarded... that combined with the fact that you actually think The X Factor is a good album, makes two and to go out in great fashion, you mention a below average one-hit-wonder band with no extraordinary talent like The Wurzels. It's now a scientific fact, you are, how should i put this?... Darn, you're worst than me, and that's saying a lot.
Anyway.... 3/10.

Tom Waits or Cult Of Luna.

Look again genius, I gave In Flames 10/10. Although you're probably a bit too up your own arse with generic musical snobbery to notice.
I like the X Factor, guess what? I'm allowed to. I'm not going to call someone a retard because they don't. I am, however, going to call you one for even asuming for a second that your opinion carries any weight with me. Get over yourself.
And The Wurzels were obviously a joke? You're really on top form today. Are you always so stupid that you have to rush head first into arguments you can't win.
You don't have to reply if you don't want to, I have owned you pretty badly here. Kicking your ass on every single point. Maybe next time you'll think before posting? Although looking at some of the other things you've said I suppose it's just wishful thinking.
Don't ever, ever insult me for my opinion again.
EDIT- Christ, you've been typing a reply for ages. It had better be good, because it's more of the same depressingly stupid shit I'll be dissapointed.

I must apologize for the In Flames bit, didn't notice that. :D

I never said you weren't allowed to like The X Factor, I simply said it implied you were retarded in doing so, and I stand firmly by that.

Bad jokes are still bad, even if they are jokes...

Yes, I am that stupid, that's why I used myself as a comparison to how "retarded" you are, I am a complete retard, and guess what? I'm proud of it. :)
Is it always win or loose with you in these arguments? Is your objective really winning? I'm guessing that's a reflex, over-compensation, of some sort.
You kicked my ass? If that's what you need to think it to leave your mind at ease, so be it, amigo. Should I retreat in fear now?

Thinking before posting, that's against my nature, I act on reflex. :D (otherwise I probably would have spotted that "10/10")

And as for insulting you for your opinion, I have the freedom to do it, just as you have the freedom of insulting me from mine, can't you deal with a little criticism and offer constructive argumentation to defend your ideals, the things you stand for?? I will insult who I want, when I want it and how I want it, if there are consequences for being like this, I will deal with them. I am free to judge whom I want. :laughing:
Don't ever test me. :)

(just a little side note, if you really wanted to prove your superiority, you should have just PM'd me, don't you think, that would have been more civilized, but hey, this way we have an audience, right? Hey! Look at me, I've stooped down to your level.)

So you should.
I never said you weren't allowed to like The X Factor, I simply said it implied you were retarded in doing so, and I stand firmly by that.
That's great, but unfortunately for you, this site has rules. Don't start flame war/randomly insult people. I don't even know why they're part of the rules, it's fucking common sense.
Yes, I am that stupid, that's why I used myself as a comparison to how "retarded" you are, I am a complete retard, and guess what? I'm proud of it. :)
That's your prerogative I guess :confused:

You kicked my ass? If that's what you need to think it to leave your mind at ease, so be it, amigo. Should I retreat in fear now?
Winning isn't important to me, it just comes naturally. I have no need to put my mind at ease, don't even think for a second you are more than a blip on my radar :D
Thinking before posting, that's against my nature, I act on reflex. :D (otherwise I probably would have spotted that "10/10")
I get the feeling you're an irate In Flames fan who wouldn't have said anything at all if he had seen the 10/10. You thought I insulted your favourte band, you thought you'd insult my favourite album?
And as for insulting you for your opinion, I have the freedom to do it, just as you have the freedom of insulting me from mine,
Bzzt. This site is a privelidge, not a right. We all adhere to the rules here, if you can't follow them, you get banned. You were not offering anything constructive to say, you were calling me a retard.
can't you deal with a little criticism
Yes.
and offer constructive argumentation to defend your ideals, the things you stand for??
Defending my ideals and what I stand for? Some idiot called me a retard, it's hardly tearing me apart at the seams.
I will insult who I want, when I want it and how I want it, if there are consequences for being like this, I will deal with them. I am free to judge whom I want. :laughing:
That sounds like a pretty piss poor excuse. As far as I can see, you honestly thought it was okay to say that and assumed I wouldn't reply. Unfortunately, you are way out of your league here.

Don't ever test me. :)
Why? What are you going to do? Miss the point and jump to conclusions again? :D
(just a little side note, if you really wanted to prove your superiority, you should have just PM'd me, don't you think, that would have been more civilized, but hey, this way we have an audience, right? Hey! Look at me, I've stooped down to your level.)
I don't want to prove my superiority. It's obvious to everyone. If you honestly wanted to be mature you could simply have not posted in the first place and avoided all of this. But you obviously think you're some kind of hilarious scamp who is above the rules. Why on Earth should I PM you? This is an open forum for reasonable disscussion. Just because you aren't capable of it doesn't mean i'm not.
Man, all this to try and defend your hideous little trollish comment. But yeah, if you want to take this to PM's or stop this on mutual grounds, be my guest.
EDIT- This really is all because of the In Flames thing, right? :D I've seen them live man, they're one of my most beloved bands. I can't help that think in another reality in which you saw that 1, I could have called you brother.

[Oxigen_Waste]

:(

So you should.

Actually, no, it wasn't the In Flames thing... I pretty much hate them now. I mean, I loved them up until Reroute To Remain, but these last two albums were just... "crap", yep, that seems about the right way to say it. I mean, Come Clarity? Man, what a shitpile. In short? In Flames? 8/10.

No the reason for all of this was simple: I'm me, and this is who I am.

Don't cling on the forum rules, I know they're there, and I haven't violated them, have I?

Yep, my prerogative, exactly.

I'm glad I'm no more than a blip, but then again, why are you wasting so much of your precious time on me?

I wouldn't call myself an In Flames fan, I'm more of an In Flames tollerator.

A priviledge? Is it a superior gift to be able to discuss among equals? Calling you a retard is part of my way of being, and as you said, you weren't insulted, cause I'm no more then a blip, right?

Hey, you retard, you called me an idiot! (Ok, this one was just for kicks. :D), all I was saying was that you could have reacted with a little less insulting me and a little more argumentation. Or if you really needed to insult me, you shouldn't even argumentate. You should do just like I did, I just called you a retard out of thin air. Hell, I don't even know you. :D (Yes, I know I'm stupid.)

Piss excuse? No, that's actually the way I am. I speak my mind, even if it's nonsense. :D

"Jump to conclusions". Well, m'boy, you'll have to point that one out for me, for I didn't even reach any conclusions.

Are you THAT obsessed with "superiority", that you take it for granted?(ok, ignore this one sentence.)
By the way, I'm not mature, and hopefully, I never will be.
Above the rules? Did I break them?
Anyway, let's keep going, this is keeping me awake and I'm actually starting to like you. You remind me of myself, when I was your age (excluding the stupid part, you're all rational and shit). :D

(But seriously, though... the wurzels sucked. :D)

[Mr. Bananagrabber]

I guess you're right (On some points :D ) I certainly could have reacted a lot better than I did.
I suppose neither one of us is going to change the other in any way, shape or forum.
And yes, The Wurzels were terrible.

Ah-ah. :D Nice answer. :P
Thanks for putting up with me. :D I know I'm a pain in the ass.
And you're obviously not a retard. I just needed someone to tease. ;)
But tell me now, why do you like The X Factor so much?

EDIT- I'm going to bed now, but I want an answer. ;)

[Hellfire]

I like where this thread is going.

[Dan Dare]

i don't!

err..Chromeo

[Shorty]

Goddamn...

I really ought to delete your posts but you typed so much and put so much effort into trying to be wittier and ruder than the other person it just seems unfair to all your hard work. But please, don't turn threads into your own personal flamewar battlegrounds. If you want to discuss the music fine, but going on and on about who got owned and who's the more retarded, even if you're arguing that you yourself is the most retarded, can be saved for PM or IM conversations. They don't need to hijack a whole thread, not everyone is interested in watching your fight. "So why is this a post not a PM?" you might be wondering? Because this goes for everybody on every thread... people, be excellent to each other.

As for the band above, I have never heard of them, so I leave it to someone else.

[Tom]

back on topic:

I don't know Chromeo, but the previous mentioed band was Cult Of Luna, who I really like. They are pretentious and all that stuff, butits really majestic, powerfull stuff. Excellent live too. 9/10

Isis (or chromeo, depending on who you know)

[Oxigen_Waste]

Isis... 10/10 without even needing to explain myself. If you have any doubts about why i rated them a 10, take a listen to Oceanic, Panopticon or In The Absence Of Truth.
(And Chromeo... 4/10. I don't like them.)

Meshuggah

[Shorty]

Meshuggah, man I have some of their stuff. My friend downstairs loves that kind of music where you can't really understand the words and you get a headache after thirty seconds. But, well I can appreciate the level of skill behind the guitars and drums. It's not my thing, but 6/10.


I'm gonna go with Abba.

[Fierce_LiNk]

Abba are awesome. Great band, and Dancing Queen is always great to dance to in clubs. :)

8/10. Pure awesome.

The Lightning Seeds.

[Excelle]

Some classic pop songs, but I wouldn't buy their albums, just a best of (which I have!). 7/10

Ben Folds

[mcj metroid]

very nice music and quite difficult to play on piano. Porbably requires large hands. i Like it!

8/10


The fray(i'm guessing i'm going to be killed here anyway)

[Nintendo Fan]

The Fray are awesome, i recently bought their album.
9/10

System of a Down

[harribo]

9/10 thy're a great band.

:(

[The Bard]

9/10 thy're a great band.

:(

Sucks ;). 2/10 :heh:

How about...

Sunn O)))

[arab_freak]

I've never heard of Sunn O)))

Jamiroquai.

Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot you're the all knowing sage, and therefore nobody else on N-E could possibly know who Sunn are.

Jamiroquai. Probably the worst pile of horsewank to pass for music these days.

[arab_freak]

Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot you're the all knowing sage, and therefore nobody else on N-E could possibly know who Sunn are.


Well excuse me for living in Egypt and having limited access to mainstream music.

[weeyellowbloke]

I think he was more implying the idea of the thread is to rate the above band, so if you've not heard of such and such a band it's probably better to leave it until one comes along that you do know (or do a bit of googling and find out who they are)

Anyhoo, Sunn o))) I've just been listening to some stuff online. It sounds interesting, definately not your average metal band. Kinda think it sounds a bit like the metal answer to sigur ros, concentrating more on creating a mood through sound. Not sure if I could listen to it in large quantities though. Actually I'm quite enjoying the videos on their website, they look pretty awesome live, definately an experience. As such I shall award them one extra point taking them up to 7/10.

There we go all bands rated or slated and we can all move on. :grin:

[The Bard]

Well excuse me for living in Egypt and having limited access to mainstream music.

Sunn aren't what anyone would call mainstream. Ever.

[Dan Dare]

Sunn are fucking amazing. They get massive fucking props from me as they play their live shows dressed as Monks, surrounded by candles.

As I saw him last night, Mr Scruff

[weeyellowbloke]

Mr Scruff is amazing! He's not the most amazingly talented DJ in the world, but by god he knows how to keep people dancing and has a record collection to die for. Plus serving tea at his sets is just a genius idea. Can't wait to see him again in the summer! 9/10

Hmmmm, yep I'm going with my previous choice again, The Roots.

he really does. Everyone last night was just dancing constantly. Standing around with a drink? dancing! waiting at the bar? dance while you do.
fuck, I'm pretty sure I was dancing while I had a piss.

[Oxigen_Waste]

Sucks ;). 2/10 :heh:

How about...

Sunn O)))

Damn... Sunn O))), on this here forum? You have guts.
Have you had the chance to hear their album recorded with Boris? Excellent stuff.

[Dog-amoto]

Getting back on topic:

Faith No More

[Tom]

Sunn0))) are great, really interesting bizarre stuff. I had the chance the see them play with Earth a while back, and stupidly I went to another gig instead. I really regret it now.

[ThePigMarcher]

Getting back on topic:

Faith No More


Will give them a 9/10 - absolutely incredible and unique at the time , although they lose a point for sucking big time when I saw one of their last ever UK gigs (I believe it was anyway) at the Brixton Academy.

Another easy one for you peeps.

Alice In Chains

[Roostophe]

Although I've only heard two songs, I like what I have heard. Would is a class song, and Them Bones is also, especially on Guitar Hero 2.

Black Sabbath

[BeerMonkey]

never really heard any of there stuff before i saw them at download festival 2 years ago.
thought they sucked :( really had high hopes but didnt think much of them

2/10

Deftones

[Oxigen_Waste]

2/10

Deftones

2/10? You can't be serious... You just can't!!! It's Sabbath, dude!!! Just listen to their "Paranoid" Album!!!


Anyway... deftones:
White Pony - 10/10.
Everything else - 6.5/10.

A good band, with great songs, but unfortanetly, most of their albums are half great and half awful.

Gojira

[The Bard]

Yesh, I was like WHAT THE FUCK? When I saw that 2/10. Going to see Heaven and Hell in November, should be awesome, hope they play some Dio songs too :), donno if Iommi can hack it though :heh:

Gojira: They're French, so that's 1 point off, the latest album I heard was From Mars To Sirius and it was pretty decent, very heavy, but I don't really think the musicianship was that hot, and as for all the claims of "Masterpiece!!" I wouldn't ever go that far. 6.5/10.

Decapitated

[Oxigen_Waste]

Decapitated


Aw... c'mon, Gojira are great. :D

Anyway, as for decapitated, I shall say only this:

SPHERES OF MADNESS, or if you prefer english, 9.5/10.

(Except for this last album... I don't really like their new style, along with the new vocal.)


EDIT - Necrophagist

[The Bard]

Just started listening to Necrophagist again, and oh my fucking god, they are one of the most immense Death/ Thrash bands I've ever come across, such blistering musicianship, and some pretty amazing songs to boot. Nothing stands out as particularly classic would be my only criticism, still, 9/10.

Deicide. (Dude, us metalheads are stealing this thread :heh:)

[The fish]

P.S. When it comes to Maiden albums, The X Factor is easily the most mature and epic. Even if it isn't the most 'metal'.

In my opinion Dance of Death is the best, if only because it has Rainmaker on. I find it more 'rock' than 'metal'.

[Dan Dare]

fuck you metalheads! I'm rebooting interest in this thread right now!

Talking Heads

see what I did? I used a band people know about!

[Oxigen_Waste]

fuck you metalheads! I'm rebooting interest in this thread right now!

Talking Heads

Deicide is just as known as the Talking Heads, you know?
Just cause you don't know about them, it doesn't mean we don't.

Anyway, Talking Heads, an almost perfect band, in every single aspect.
9.5/10.

Yann Tiersen

[The Bard]

Wasn't Talking heads a series of short stories by Alan Bennett? o_0. Pretty awesome from what I remember.

[mcj metroid]

fuck you metalheads! I'm rebooting interest in this thread right now!

Lol i know i don't know half these bands. Guess i'm not 'with it'

ok..... nothing above me so....

Van Halen

[Daft]

Eruption...Nuff said! 10/10 Effing awesome!!

The Pixies

[Noodleman]

Lol i know i don't know half these bands. Guess i'm not 'with it'

ok..... nothing above me so....

Van Halen

Talking Heads are from the 80s and fucking awesome you bunch of heathens.

Were on a road to nowhere
Were on a road to nowhere
Were on a road to nowhere

Theres a city in my mind
Come along and take that ride
And its all right, baby, its all right
:awesome:

Hey! I said Yann Tiersen!

[Problematique]

Yann Tiersen! 8/10 going on the Amelie soundtrack :D favourite film of all time.

Doves

[Daft]

That is effing wierd. I just put the M62 song on now! I haven't listened to them in effing ages!! Freaky coincidence!

Awesome band!

The Pixies

[Dan Dare]

Wasn't Talking heads a series of short stories by Alan Bennett? o_0. Pretty awesome from what I remember.

I think you may be right. were they ever televised?

it only makes the band even more awesome.

oh yeah, pixies.

hmm...I know this probably makes me some kind of heathen but i dont really like them. 5/10.

The Faint

[mcj metroid]

Talking Heads are from the 80s and fucking awesome you bunch of heathens.

Were on a road to nowhere
Were on a road to nowhere
Were on a road to nowhere

Theres a city in my mind
Come along and take that ride

:awesome:

goodness me i know talking heads ha
BURNING DOWN THE HOUSE IS THE BEST SONG NOT THAT STUPID ROAD TO NOWHERE SONG


also rate the band above me there cause i have no idea who THE FAINT are

[killthenet]

The Faint are okay. "Danse Macabre" was pretty good, didn't like the last album as much, but it were alright. And I agree with you on the Pixies. I used to be a huge fan of them a few years ago, but i've realised since that they're basically just college rock and "Gigantic" is by far the best thing that they've done.

Electrelane

Best feminist band ever. (Post-rock ftw).

8.4/10.

Merzbow (if someone insults the noise master, I'll be offended).
