The thread where you talk about non-metal music you like.

[Badbird]

Country music is the most Redneck thing I can think of, and when I venture out of my "I'm a pretentious faux-cosmopolitan city person" hole it's really nice to go to the Cracker Barrel or something and just absorb the Americana.

A friend of mine in my town here owns a restaurant which is the most "American" place I've ever been to - everything from the vintage movie posters to the metal Coca-Cola ads and the neon "Beer" sign was imported from the States, and it's a constant aural barrage of classic country and rock & roll there.

Which brings me to the point that I really love 50s doo-wop, particularly Sha-Na-Na.

Fixed it for you.

I wish I had my Ipod when I was on the road.I can't stand the stuff on the radio.It was almost all country music on the radio.

 

[panzerfaust666]

Who here hates country music like I do?I fucking hated it with a passion.

I actually enjoy alot of Country. Not so much new stuff, but older Country is awesome. Conway Twitty, Hoyt Axton, Hank WIlliams, Waylon Jennings.

Also Whitchita Lineman is a great song

p.s. K-Rose on San Andreas fucking OWNS

 

[Kelly:3]

^I love Waylon Jennings and Conway Twitty, but they're pretty much the only country artists I like.


And does anyone besides me on here like Wu Tang Clan? I don't lisen to rap music but they're great

 

[panzerfaust666]

ye creams a good song. Im not to familiar with Wu Tang, but I do love Killah Priest, especially his album "Heavy Mental"

 

[Chanakya]

The O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack was quite neat.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

p.s. K-Rose on San Andreas fucking OWNS

THIS.

 

[Badbird]

I will get shit from this,but Los Santos radio fucking owns.

 

[panzerfaust666]

Nah I love Rap

 

[damnromulans]

every genre has its filth and its treasures.

I'm on a reggae kick today. Groundation is a really good band.

 

[Episteme]

Been listening to The Postal Service, Portishead, Massive Attack quite regularly.

 

[Mentok]

This and In Casino/Out has been kicking my ass lately

 

[no country for old wainds]

Tom, I know you hate most prog, have you checked out Magma yet? I think they're pretty damn amazing and unique, if slightly histrionic. Far from the overwrought type of prog like King Crimson, Genesis and Van der Graaf Generator

not yet but i shall matey don't you fret

 

[Episteme]

This and In Casino/Out has been kicking my ass lately

What do you think of The Mars Volta?

 

[DarkBliss]

not yet but i shall matey don't you fret

They're pretty much the reason why I almost stopped listening to Summoning.
Magma started a movement in music called zeuhl. Very strange, but compelling, in my opinion. Their rhythms are just so engaging; vocals are definitely an acquired taste. They manage to create a sort of ritualistic atmosphere through repetitive call-response chanting. I like Udu Wudu and Mekhanik Destruktiw Kommandoh the most.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

I still think Udu Wudu is one of their worst, but to each his own of course. My favorite is still K.A - it's like everything that's great about MDK but with livelier performance and richer production.

 

[DarkBliss]

I love K.A. as well, but don't listen to it as much.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Tbh the last track can get a bit tiring sometimes. It builds up to a great climax, but as far as the long-ass buildups of doom go I think their most epic ones were on Kohntarkosz.

First two songs on K.A are pure friggin' gold though.

 

[DarkBliss]

I love Wedorje the most off UW. It's just so dreamy and exotic.
