I have a friend at school that looks like he really likes music. He's brought up band's he's liked a few times in the few months I've known him. I've never talked to him about music before today.
Today I was talking to another friend of mine (we all have the same class) about how I finally watched The Wizard of Oz synced up with Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon." He overheard and started asking questions about them after he found out that they were my favorite band. He asked me if I liked punk, and I explained how punk was a movement against progressive rock in the early 80's and that I didn't care for it much. I also tried to explain what prog was a little, while trying not to bore him. He seemed pretty interested, and somehow we got on the topic of death metal. He said "Like what?" followed by "Slipknot?" "Cradle of Filth?" Nothing wrong with those bands, not my thing. He seemed pretty suprised when I said I liked heavier stuff.
He asked me to burn him my "heaviest cd." I'm going to burn him a cd, but not my heaviest. I don't want to turn him off by giving him a Carcass cd or something. Nothing wrong with Carcass, just not the best band for beginners. So I started thinking that maybe I should burn him an Opeth cd, since they were one of the band's that got me into death metal.
*I was thinking I should burn MAYH for him since its accesible but probably still very heavy for someone new to the genre. Should I burn him MAYH, another Opeth release, or a different cd all together? Thanks.
