i know man, some avant garde is totally inaccessible. haven't got round to listening to Zappa yet, been on my list for a while though. i can't handle a lot of avant garde (john coltrane's ascension)... i know zappa's covered quite a lot of subgenres. comedy rock, jazz-rock, computerised, and proto-punk.. so there's a lot i've got to get around to. obviously heard the classic 'we're only in it for the money' album though

i'm moved by music as an art form, as a form of expression. whether it be aurally or orally motivated music, if i can feel the artistic creativity, and emotion behind it, yeah, it moves me. same goes with film and literature. even something completely obscure and avant-garde, the likes of noise rock, i enjoy and appreciate for that reason alone. it's experimental, it's against the grain. personally, metal bands such as: don't do anything for me. every chord, every note, and every thing played including the vocals are all meaningless. plus it's all corny as hell. it's about the fuckin' boogie man or something. who the hell does zakk wylde think he is for christ's sake? some kinda biker musician? some kinda artist? just some big bloke with a beard, acting tough, shredding away on guitar for some reason that's unknown to us all. you also mentioned stuff like zeppelin and hendrix, of which i like. why? because they made insightful music, hence all their followers and the genre they helped create. their music was freewheeling, it was tense, fiery, dramatic, swaggering, visceral.. they were artists, because their music was full of emotion and expression. these metal faggot bands are just ascribing to this pathetic clichéd "metalhead" persona, nothing more than an act. compared with the likes of gangsta rap, at least rappers are expressing themselves lyrically through things that have actually happened in their life, as opposed to these faggots who believe those geeky nights of playing dungeons and dragons, video games, and other forms of fantasy is a reason to make music

The Fall - Green Eyed Loco-Man The Fall - The Classical

Seeing some absolutely great bands mentioned here. Here's mine, thrown together very quickly though.

my old man introduced me to hard rock and metal, and through my very early teens it was a big part of my musical taste, which has now been bombarded with sheer eclecticism thing is, yeah, it may sound good. but this genre isn't exactly profound or insightful. i don't understand the emotion or message behind it all. power metal is the worse, bloke's who're obsessed with tolkien. all that nu-metal, well fuck it, no one likes that shit here, surely? but even stuff like megadeth and metallica, yeah they're good bands, but i just don't understand WHY they're making music. is it just making music for the sake of it? maybe it's because i hate these metalheads. you know, any variation of it now presently. all this "grindcore" and shit they listen to now. any variation of hard rock, or metal... i am failing to see a point behind it all. so please - anyone care to enlighten me and tell me what it's all about? give me a perspective or opinion here. or is it really just a fantasy-fuelled genre, driven by middle aged white men with long hair and beards, head banging away to heavy riffs and power chords, singing about dragons, death, and rotting flesh?

i wouldn't really want anything lyrically progressive or orientated as that would require too much concentration, might distract the mood.. plus, well.. i just wouldn't want to hear a bloke's voice... simple as that for me

dre may not be the best mc ever, but with help from snoop and the actual fuckin' production of the chronic (like on lil ghetto boy), it's just a pure dope, classic westcoast rap album. dre at his best for sure, true G shit plus it's got one of the best dis songs ever on it - Fuk Wit Dre yeah biggie does deserve to be in my top rap albums, just those are the ones that got me to respect and enjoy the genre in general
