I kinda like ska, but not emo. I absolutely hate emo. But as for ska, I’ve only heard two bands, who I enjoy very much: Reel Big Fish and Five Iron Frenzy.

Ska is good, but ska is only really good or really bad, the only ska bands I really like are Less Than Jake and old old No Doubt. It’s hard to impress me with ska. Emo blows.

actually there’s two types of emo, the wussy fake-punk kind of emo that you’re all thinking of and then the creepy screamy death scary crap that partisan mentioned, so actually he’s not wrong.

Actually, yes, he is wrong.

In Flames - Melodic Death Metal  
Iron Maiden - Old school Heavy Metal  
Sepultura - Thrash Metal (At least the old sutff)  
Iced Earth - Power Metal  
Death - Death Metal  
Manowar - Power Metal

Screamo is what you’re thinking about, bands like Alexisonfire and Poison the Well.

I listen to all these bands BTW

edit: This is Manowar?

![](http://www.zonicweb.net/badalbmcvrs/manowar.jpg)

I guess I should be happy I don’t listen to them :beam:

The best metal is the kind that involves vague Dungeons and Dragons references (same goes for classical music).

Seriously though, I’d rather listen to Swedish Death Metal than emo. Not that I see Swedish Death Metal as being more musically inclined or lyrically empowering, it’s just readily understood that you can take the piss out of most metal artists without making them cry.

I love basically any of these songs, but definitly check out ‘photobooth’, ‘Lowell, MA’, and ‘sleep spent’. ‘Employment pages is good’ too.

My other favs (that aren’t so free) are ‘I Was A Kaleidascope’ and ‘Movie Script Ending’. Check those out fo’ sho’.
