Scale The Summit I see, well I approve!

Spoiler for My iPod:

There were parts I liked about just about all of it, but as a whole it all felt like directionless noodling. Was pretty bored by the end. I dug the first one the most, mostly cause of the the interesting use of oddball dissonance. Kind of reminded me of Ved Buens Ende, who, while being a much different band, had elements that were similar, at least to me.

Urban Hat€monger ? I'm pretty sure I did one of these for him in the original version of this thread, but I'd like to do a follow up. For quite a few years I thought of Urban's taste as being mostly limited to awesome, obscure garage rock, punk, post-punk and hard rock. I don't know if it's because his tastes have evolved since I've been here or if it just took me a long time to get a fuller picture of him, but I'm constantly surprised by all the off-the-wall things he's into that don't at all fit in with my preconceptions of him.

The Batlord. By and large the pop music he likes is stuff I consider pretty awful and he can even be a bit spotty in his home turf of metal. However, this guy has made some pretty convincing cases for some metal I thought was cheesy and won me over to some extent, and when he's on in terms of metal he's certainly hip to some really great stuff.

Goofle. At times, the poppier end of tastes are things that really don't do it for me, but overall he's a great source of music I've never heard that is at the very least worth a listen and frequently fantastic stuff.

Frownland. He's not the first resident John Zorn/Sun Ra/Captain Beefheart/John Cage type guy we've had around here, but he's the only one with broad enough tastes to also talk about hip hop and hard rock. Like Goofle, everything he mentions is, at the very least, worth a listen.

Batlords gonna yell at you for not being a dick about, but well said. Can't speak for the first two but I agree with you about Goof/Frown.

Wolverinepigeonshitwhateverthefuck: Keeps begging me to rate her music taste, and just sent me a PM with a playlist full of music I've never heard of for me to judge. Clearly in need of male validation and suffering from internalized misogyny due to daddy issues and boyfriends who look like Chad Kroeger. Perhaps this will give her some tips on what kind of music a modern woman should listen to...

Sadly enough, yes it is.

Steph could go buck wild with her avatar if she had that username.

You knew what this thread was when you begged Batlord to evaluate your taste in music, even if he was a bit of a douchebag with what he said, maybe even a bit sexist. But none of that is surprising, I mean it's Batlord and clearly he isn't taking 'spilling his guts about your taste in music' seriously, so go figure.

Point is. Don't ask if you can't take what's said.
