The Music Thread

[ZDawg]

I didn't see this topic anywhere in the Auditorium, so I decided why not make one?

Basically what this thread should be used for is to discuss music... duh. But beyond that, hopefully find people who like songs or musicians that you also like, and maybe discuss the meaning of a song or what you particularly like about that song. Maybe then others could even suggest an artist/song that you might like!

So to start things off I'll just tell you a bit about my musical interests. I was born in '91, but I didn't really listen to a lot of music until I was about ten or twelve or so, which by then it was already into the 2000s. So I grew up with very terrible music (2000-2009 is really bad so far.)

I hated most modern music. I disliked a lot of the mainstream 80s stuff. So I decided to look into the 90s scene and I instantly loved it. My favorite genres are Grunge and 90s Alternative. I also like the hip-hop of the 90s, but significantly less than bands like Nirvana, Bush, Stone Temple Pilots, Pearl Jam, The Toadies, Alice in Chains, etc. Such bands make of the majority of my favorite bands, with a few modern alternative and rock bands but a really miniscule amount.

My favorite overall band as of now is Nirvana. I also really love Metallica, but only their older stuff.

My favorite song right now is Possum Kingdom by The Toadies. It is a love song with a pretty lighthearted tone, but a really dark underscore (Lake Possum Kingdom in Texas was the setting of multiple rape-murders.)

Right now I finished listening to Franz Ferdinand - This Fire and am currently listening to Flobots - Handlebars.

How about you guys? What do you like?
