I think someone posted something like this a while ago, or at least something similar…may have been inspirational music. I listen to all sorts of music so picking a favorite is pretty hard because I have a wide range to choose from. I guess I have a lot of different favorites depending on my mood. When I want to break stuff, I like to listen to Rage Against the Machine… When I am doing work and I want to feel inspired, I like to listen to Enigma or Enya (both good stuff). When I am just hanging out with friends, usually anything that is currently on the radio…Foo Fighters, the Vines, Nirvana, DMB… I guess my all time favorite band would be OAR ([www.ofarevolution.com](http://www.ofarevolution.com)). Just something about their sound. However, I will probly like any other band that people post here (unless its N\*SUCK or other boy/girl bands. I’m not into the whole Pop movement). I like Radiohead a lot. A band that I really like is ‘Hum.’ They never really hit it big, but their CD was really good, I’m suprised they never released a follow-up. ---

I wasn’t talking about RH when i said ‘i was suprised when they never released a follow-up’ I was talking about the band called “HUM” just to clarify. RH acutally has 5 studio CDs (i think). then one live, maybe two live. can’t remember… ---

I overhead a few of my students discussing Rap artists. (Yikes, did I say ARTISTS? Curses! :\*( ) One commented with obvious sincerity, “Oh yeah, they should be inducted into the Hall of Fame!” Tears began to flow freely as I suddenly realized GOOD music has been relegated to the back seat for well over 12 years now. When people start talking about rappers being “classic” and all that, I realize I’ve been in a coma for what seems an eternity now. :bandit: ---

when it comes to music while working… this dude from Mali, Ali Farke Toure’… while cooking, the Iguanas, from New Orleans… while dancing, Ben Harper (hopefully live). Just my opinion… Rev:elderly: ---

It is a tough choice for me to decide since I listen to such a wide range of music, but I have to say one of my favorite bands is… Chevelle ---

Pff, thats just their new single… I have been listening to them since their first album just came out (99 I believe) and they were never heard of. I am happy they are mainstream now though, it is what they were going for, and more people need to hear their music. I just hate when people say they love a new band and then diss them when they don’t release anything new in a few months. I hope that doesn’t happen to Chevelle, they deserve much more. My favorite song from them is Mia. ---

I will have to look into their older stuff… There is so much happening… all the time… I used to go to 150 shows a year minimum… then the budget got cut a couple years ago, when the bubble burst… I still try to see a show a week… last week was Divo… scary thing was, they were good! Rev:elderly: ---

Lol, I have only been to one concert in my whole life. That was a Bouncing Souls concert, they were very good live (as if I ever doubted) Yes, you should look into their older stuff, their newer stuff is really good, but their older stuff is better in my opinion. I have both their cds and love them both. BUY THEM NOW!!!

yeah but you’re an idiot so. joking She’s not for everyone that’s for sure. After seeing her video where she dances around naked (unedited since it’s European) I haven’t stopped listening to her. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that she’s one of my “ideals” as far as women go; personality, looks, and wit. I have another though. Tull very little puts me in the mood to create like Jethro Tull. Of course I grew up on 60’s music so I’m in a bit of a different genre class as most others here. :asian: ~Jethro Tull~ “Hunting Girl” One day I walked the road and crossed a field to go by where the hounds ran hard. And on the master raced: behind the hunters chased to where the path was barred. One fine young lady’s horse refused the fence to clear. I unlocked the gate but she did wait until the pack had disappeared. Crop handle carved in bone; sat high upon a throne of finest English leather. The queen of all the pack, this joker raised his hat and talked about the weather. All should be warned about this high born Hunting Girl. She took this simple man’s downfall in hand; I raised the flag that she unfurled. Boot leather flashing and spurnecks the size of my thumb. This highborn hunter had tastes as strange as they come. Unbridled passion: I took the bit in my teeth. Her standing over — me on my knees underneath. My lady, be discrete. I must get to my feet and go back to the farm. Whilst I appreciate you are no deviate, I might come to some harm. I’m not inclined to acts refined, if that’s how it goes. Oh, high born Hunting Girl, I’m just a normal low born so and so. or my favorite JT song “Thick as a Brick (Part One)” Really don’t mind if you sit this one out My words but a whisper, your deafness D a shout I may make you feel but I can’t make you think Your sperm’s in the gutter, your love’s in the sink So you ride yourselves over the fields And you make all your animal deals And your wise men don’t know how it feels To be Thick as a Brick And the sand castle virtues are all swept away In the tidal destruction, the moral melee The elastic retreat rings the close of play As the last wave uncovers the newfangled way But your new shoes are worn at the heels And your suntan does rapidly peel And your wise men don’t know how it feels To be Thick as a Brick And the love that I feel is so far away I’m a bad dream that I just had today And you shake your head And say that it’s a shame Spin me back down the years and the days of my youth Draw the lace and black curtains and shut out the whole truth Spin me down the long ages, let them sing the song See there, a son is born, and we pronounce him fit to fight There are blackheads on his shoulders, and there he pees himself in the night We’ll make a man of him, put him to trade Teach him to play Monopoly, not to sing in the rain The poet and the painter casting shadows on the water As the sun plays on the infantry returning from the sea The doer and the thinker, no allowance for the other As the failing light illuminates the mercenary’s creed The home fire burning, the kettle almost boiling But the master of the house is far away The horses stamping, their warm breath clouding In the sharp and frosty morning of the day And the poet lifts his pen, while the soldier sheaths his sword And the youngest of the family is moving with authority Building castles by the sea, he dares the tardy tide To wash them all aside The cattle quietly grazing at the grass down by the river Where the swelling mountain water moves onward to the sea The builder of the castles renews the age-old purpose And contemplates the milking girl whose offer is his need The young men of the household have all gone into service And are not to be expected for a year The innocent young master, thoughts moving ever faster Has formed the plan to change the man he seems And the poet sheaths his pen while the soldier lifts his sword And the oldest of the family is moving with authority Coming from across the sea, he challenges the son Who puts him to the run What do you do when the old man’s gone ? Do you want to be him ? And your real self sings the song Do you want to free him ? No one to help you get up steam And the whirlpool turns you way off beam I’ve come down from the upper class to mend your rotten ways My father was a man of power, whom everyone obeyed So come on all you criminals ! I’ve got to put you straight Just like I did with my old man, twenty years too late Your bread and water’s going cold, your hair is short and neat I’ll judge you all and make \*\*\*\* sure that no one judges me You curl your toes in fun, as you smile at everyone You meet the stares, you’re unaware that your doings aren’t done And you laugh most ruthlessly, as you tell us what not to be But how are we supposed to see where we should run ? I see you shuffle in the courtroom, with your rings upon your fingers And your downy little sidies and your silver-buckle shoes Playing at the hard case, you follow the example Of the comic-paper idol, who lets you bend the rules So, come on you childhood heroes, won’t you rise up from the pages Of your comic-books, your super crooks, and show us all the way ? Well, make your will and testament, won’t you join your local government ? We’ll have Superman for president, let Robin save the day You put your bet on number one and it comes up every time The other kids have all backed down and they put you first in line And so you finally ask yourself just how big you are And you take your place in a wiser world of bigger motor cars (And you wonder who to call on …) So, where the hell was Biggles when you needed him last Saturday ? And where are all the sportsmen who always pulled you through ? They’re all resting down in Cornwall, writing up their memoirs For a paperback edition of the boy scout manual Now that’s a writer. I don’t know of another who is so in tune with English Folk, and Rock at the same time. ---
