Exactly. Ask away Tobias.  |
What makes it pop sounding though? Is it just cause the sound isn't grainy or the fact that they are part of a major record label

How old are you? and what do your parents listen to?
If you like anything your parents listen to it would be an awesome way to find out what type of sound you like.
And of course we can all send some "further information" by Private Messages 
make good use of this thread: http://www.musicbanter.com/general-m...st-wanted.html and just circle around the forums and people will make threads about their favourite bands will be more than happy to send you whatever you need.
If you ever want to expand into prog check out me or boo boo we know our stuff when it comes to certain parts, but I'm far more into the obscure nowadays to give advice on the big bands. (haha I've forgotten which Yes albums are my favourite) |
Well, I'm 21. My parents listen to a LOT of country. They also listen to some 90s stuff like Hootie, Dave Matthews, Eve6. My dad also listens to quite a bit of oldies rock, like Dokken, KISS, Poison.
And I'm still confused as to what "prog" is...

you can type in some of your favourite bands and they will stream you a radio with new artists that you would be interested in.
Check it out:
Last.fm – The Social Music Revolution |
yeah I signed up for lastfm when I had my iPhone, but I got rid of that and I haven't been on that site yet. I'll check it out though

Against Me!
The Distillers
Lagwagon
Screechin Weasel
ThousaNd Foot Krutch
SR-71
I made a list similar to this in another thread, but this one is a lot more mainstream, so you've probably heard of most of these already.

Yeah I've heard of a few, though some that I've heard I haven't actually heard their music yet.
I've listened to Thousand Foot Krutch and SR-71 and really liked them. And I always thought that Thrice was way too hard for me, granted I've never listened to them, but just from the other people that i know listen to them and other music they like.
