I've been listening to a lot of metal from the 90s and early 00s lately. I didn't know what to call this thread, I just want to talk about how cool Pantera were and how I have been listening to Slipknot this evening....and enjoying it! I loved Slipknot when their first album came out and thought Iowa was a great album as well. While not as great as I remember, I still find a lot of the music I liked when I was 16 or 17 enjoyable. Banda like the Deftones, Tool, Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, and the like we're so awesome when I was younger and I like to throw them on along with the typical 90s grunge that I always go on about. Does or did anyone like the type of music I'm talking about? Do people understand that the above bands were not on the same low level as Limp Bizkit, Nickelback, Trapt, Hoobastank, Staind, and the like? I will admit I was into Staind when they first came out and as is the case with a lot of the music I listened to then, I can't listen to them now. I always loved punk music and can listen to nearly all of the punk bands now that I listened to then.

Live, particulary the obligatory lightning crashes heh
Bush (machinehead, glycerine.. still can bump them)
Blink 182
GG Allins acoustic outlaw country stuff
philip glass (i doubt a composer counts as a band.)
I still have a soft spot for some "post rock" (jesus christ i've always felt like such a douche saying that) bands

Everyone hates PIX releases right?

I get into prog stuff a whole lot, and used to listen to Phish tons back in high school. I could probably still enjoy it, honestly.

All things considered, for how much of a fan of music I am and how much of my life is spent thinking about music, I have pretty awful taste.

I really enjoy turntablism. Like Q-bert, or even experimental folks like Christian Marclay.  I'm fascinated by the use of a playback device as an instrument.  It is like hacking and jazz. 

I also like FRNTRNNR, but i think it is because they are such failures at self-promotion and anything that has to do with being a band. I mean, their music sounds good under water and that's about it.

FRNTRNNR

you're fucking kidding yourself if you think the majority of this board aren't RNNR-heads.

RNNRHDS?

[pronetoaccidents]

A good chunk of "classic rock"

NIN 4 evar

I had so many nine inch nails shirts in junior high and high school. It wasn't because they were my favorite band (though they were great) they just had really awesome shirts. My favorite back then was one that had the NIN in lower case letters and said "now I'm nothing". I was good at being a depressed goth/grunge kid in junior high. I dropped the goth stuff in high school and went with a grunge/punk combo.

Nine Inch Nails were awesome, though. It was my goal to have all of the "halos" but living in a small town pre-Internet made that an impossible task. If you know what I mean by halos, you are definitely old and cool at the same time.

Does he still do the halo system on the new releases?

He better or all is lost.

Tool, System of a Down (i like toxicity still heh), and queens of the stone age. they fucking rule and it's awesome they actually had a "hit" and it wasn't shit

I liked System of a Down when they first came out. I remember being on acid with some friends driving along aimlessly in the middle of the nigh and Sugar came on the radio unedited. Everyone loved it.

Tool put on the best concert I've ever seen. Trippiest shit I've ever seen in person.

I dunk my head underwater and listen to the new LP all the time.

"post rock"

Post rock kicks ass. Caspian is like the best band in the world.

i will do my best at making a semi-relevant long story short..

so Tool. so yeah, i had this super rich junkie friend for a bit. he snapped his fingers, mommy bought him a brownstone in brooklyn, etc. moving on. anyhow, his family were "dead heads", super into acid and only got the purest. The fridge was filled with visine bottles of liquid,  they also had saved a batch of the Owley Stanley acid which was only broken out on the rarest of occasions. barely a hit had me, well, you know what acid does and if you don't, you don't. but it was a few sheets, all drawn and illustrated by Maynard. It was so beautiful I wanted to frame it but of course we gobbled it up and bumped Sober.

still ill..

I had a Live phase in 9th grade and still enjoy them when I hear them. I'll always love Blink 182.

[BlakeK]

I think it was mandatory to have Lives Throwing Copper as a teen in the 90s. I was always "meh" with Blink 182 but I think it was due to my age. Green Day occupies that place in my heart.

I dunk my head NDRWTR and listen to the new LP all the time.
