Antithesis of Opeth in your collection

[MetalManCPA]

Two bands I have their entire collections of and consider non-Opethian are:

The Tea Party
Led Zeppelin

 

[The Evil Toucan]

Pat Metheny and Sting

 

[Kenneth R.]

ironically i like a lot of these bands.

Uh...well, a lot, actually. Because I have so much stuff. You want really different? Kenny Rogers. Kill me, I like "The Gambler".:Smug:

That's pretty atypical, though. Most consistent thing I listen to that is un-Opethian: Ben Folds.

God, I feel like I'm baring my soul, here. Perhaps unwise on this forum....

 

[Olllie]

Black Eyed Peas - Monkey Business

[NeverIsForever]

[RDreamer]

To be honest, everything I have in my CD rack is metal/rock except for a couple:

The Golden Palominos
Tori Amos
Loreena McKennitt

 

[L0bster]

come on, some guy named "Led Zeppelin" they are the opeth of the seventies ;p, nah, but in no way an anti-thesis though.

I have a lot of non-metal albums, but I think they venture closer to Opeth than some of my metalstuff.

 

[Dreadful]

camel, king crimson, katatonia, porcupine tree, pink floyd, morbid angel

I agree completely. I think they are VERY similar!

camel, king crimson, katatonia, porcupine tree, pink floyd, morbid angel

How can porcupine tree possibly be the antithesis if SW was basically part of Opeth for 3 records? Camel and Morbid Angel? Mikael has admitted to basically ripping them off. I think these bands are more like Opeth than not. But that's cool. Still good music.

 

[ViCyniC]

camel, king crimson, katatonia, porcupine tree, pink floyd, morbid angel

Antithesis?

 

[vampyrouss]

hahaha, yeah: camel + morbid angel = Opeth pretty much. Well, both have been heavily name dropped by Opeth over the years!

 

[T-Rat]

antithesis...
hmmm, in a lot of ways that actually would rule out classical and jazz for me, so i would say perhaps the ramones. really short, simplistic, repetative songs.
not like opeth at all in that way.

I'm sure, actually, I'm certain this was a joke. Anyone that took it seriously obviously relies on tone of voice to notice sarcasm.
