Funny?

 

[I-Oblivion-I]

2006 Top Ten

Hey man that's a pretty awesome list Gutteral Secrete and Septycal Gorge had really great albums. The only one I didn't enjoy was Hung by barbed wire.........the vocals were a bit too much for me lol.

 

[cookiecutter]

I thought the vocals were the best part, but I can see how you might dislike them, they are very out there.

 

[Wires & Waves]

the paper chase - ...and now you are one of us
murder by death - in bocca al lupo

[Mort Divine]

Yeah, I need to redo my list to enclude Joanna Newsom and Cursive's Happy Hollow. Actually, alot of stuff I need to put on my list.

Jenny Lewis's album Rabbit Fur Coat is pretty good.

 

[Wires & Waves]

Well, at Bodybuilding.com, littledave (Chuck Schuldiner >>> God) claimed to have listened to every metal band in existance, then claimed over 20,000 metal files on Soul Seek - but then "lost" them all.

20,000 is not nearly enough for such a claim. i have that, and easily have only listened to 10% of the metal world.

20,000 is not nearly enough for such a claim. i have that, and easily have only listened to 10% of the metal world.

yeah 20,000 files isn't much...and 10% is way too high of an estimate. I just looked at metal-archives and they have 43109 bands listed...unless of course you actually listen to a few thousand bands.

 

[Nico]

The key is not to listen to every band ever created, but to listen to the good ones. A novel concept on these boards.

also have to keep in mind that a good percentage of the bands on M-A are garage bands that only have a demo that they circulated to a few friends.

Yeah, that's true. I really don't understand the site administrator reasoning in many cases for accepting bands - there are various bands who aren't even metal. Deep Purple, Alice in Chains, and the band that sang "Rock You Like a Hurricane" etc....I know its basically a matter of what she/they like.

 

[Killbot]

Cursive's Happy Hollow.

Cursive are pretty bad.

 

[Mort Divine]

Cursive are pretty bad.

Cursive are really fucking great. One of the few Saddle Creek bands that actually are good. Two Gallants being another one.

 

[Hatebreeder]

How the fuck can one person amass a collection of metal with 20,000+ files? That's a fucking lot of metal. :zombie:

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

Who gives a fuck about how many songs you have? Thanks to you fuckers no cds are getting sold! It's also not about quantity, it's about quality.
