How weird are YOUR genres???

[SeaStorm]

I'm old enough to have seen Lightforce become Mortification in 1990/91...

Mystical Thieves was the best "blind purchase based on cover art" I've ever made, way back in 1989.

Speaking of which;

this has got to be the cheesiest* cover I've seen yet.

 

[I Rock 4 God]

woah dude. gonna have to call you on a couple things in this one..Cannibal Corpse sucks a better band would be Mortification. and Dream Theater is Progressive Metal not power! other than that it looks good from what i've heard of. you should add Seven Witches and Oil to your thrash list

yeah, definitely change the Dream Theater.:zombie: They're too good to be wrong.

I have a lot of other bizarre genres like "Pop Metal" and so on. But this will do.

Alestorm - Yes they are cheesy enough to make hammerfall cringe, but I don't care, it's awesome.

hahaha, nice.........


pop metal? link me.

 

[I Rock 4 God]

I'm sorry to all you BG fans, but they (in my opinion) stink. I'm not saying they don't have talent, but I just do not like them. their too vikingyish.

 

[M@RS]

@I Rock 4 God

Blind Guardian vikingyish? Since when?

pop metal? link me.

Linky.

Vocals aren't very good. But the music isn't bad.

 

[Aletheus]

Oh...REAL pop metal... I was expecting something peculiar in the vein of Lady Gaga meets Impellitteri

But I guess we'll give this a listen

 

[FleshAndBloodTheocracy]

Blind Guardian is vikingy? Hardly. Check out Amon Amarth.

 

[guitr4God]

M@RS, I liked your list but...no Symphony X or Blind Guardian??? :O

 

[Arnock]

Blind guardian has some folk-y songs, but I can't really see viking...

 

[M@RS]

M@RS, I liked your list but...no Symphony X or Blind Guardian??? :O

Unfortunately no. :/ I've been eying some albums from both bands for some time. Just haven't actually gotten any material. One of these days...eventually.

I'm kind of new here, so I figured I'd post in this thread to give you guys an idea of what I listen to. Fact is, I listen to pretty much any kind of music as long as it doesn't sound like poop. I'm not going to list sub-genres right now, mainly because that'll take too much time.

Punk - Tiger Army, The Clash, Have Nots, Black Flag, The Queers, Screeching Weasel, The Misfits, Balzac, The Ramones, Time Again.

Ska - The Toasters, The Skatoons, The Slackers, Catch 22, The Busters, The Skankaroos, The Aggrolites (also reggae), Operation Ivy.

Metal - Theocracy, Keldian, Myrath, Vader, Children of Bodom, Amon Amarth, Dream Theater, Municipal Waste, Skeletonwitch.

Doo-Wop - Danny and the Juniors, Dion and the Belmonts, The Earls, Rocky Sharpe and the Replays, The Monotones.

Classical - Elliot Del Borgo, J.S. Bach, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Vivaldi, Pachelbel.

I left out a bunch more, but these are pretty much the main overall genres I listen to.
