Spill Your Guts About MB Members' Tastes In Music

**Frownland** · 01-08-2015, 07:09 PM

1. While I constantly **** on you for the horrible bands you hate, you do like a lot of cool stuff.
2. You certainly have fantastic taste, but there's a lot of junk mixed in there. Generally on some good tunage though.
3. I'm stunned that you can like prog music and dislike long and complex instrumentals. It's strange. Generally don't really dig anything you post apart from the odd classic that you proceed to **** on but you contribute so much to the site that it works out.
4. Seriously awesome listening and creating sensibilities.
5. No more cool points for you.

Which one is which? a. Mondo Bungle b. Trollheart c. The Batland d. Goofle e. Everyone who rallied for Def Leppard and Van Halen in the faceoff thread.

The premise for this thread is for you to spew your ego. Thats great and all, but you really need to take it back a notch. It's leaning a bit toward the special side. Too much guano.

The premise is to tell people what you think of their musical tastes. I told you. Feel free to tell me. I have no problem with you slagging me off, but please do so while bitching about something I actually said. I never mocked your music, or even the music you listen to. I just said you don't seem to be much for exploring music on this site.

Trollheart · 01-08-2015, 07:33 PM

I won't really be taking part in this for two reasons: 1) I don't know the music anyone listens to much, apart from the odd member, certainly not enough to comment on it and 2) I think anyone who feels they have to/have the right to tell people what they should listen to should just **** the hell off. I listen to music because I like it, not because someone says I should, or to be in with the cool kids, or conversely, an aloof lone wolf, mysterious and enigmatic. **** that ****. I don't have time for that sort of posing.

Also, I have tons of music I want to/would love to listen to but am way way WAAAYYY too busy to manage to fit in, so a lot of stuff I should, would or will eventually get around to listening to gets put on the long finger.

But I really don't like threads like this. It's only a personal opinion, but I think they're ego-inflating and pretty pointless really. I'll take recs any time but **** anyone trying to tell me what THEY think I should listen to.

Note: I'm not saying this is a bad thread, just not something I want to be part of. I'm only responding to Batty's post here. Mostly.

That said, it should be pointed out that I am trying to broaden my metal horizons via Metal Month, I recently listened to, and enjoyed, Gram Parsons, and one of the points of my new History of Prog thread is to address what Batty said, that there is too much prog I don't listen to or even know. Hopefully over the course of the journal that will change. Also, some good stuff has come my way via "1001 albums", but so has some real ****.

Finally, Batty I ****ing loved both those songs, especially the second one. Thanks!

Subjectivity. A word you, and quite few other people that spout about what they think is superior music need to understand. Just because you like something does not equate to it being the end-all be-fucking-all of music. There are entirely too many variables into what two different people consider good music in order to have any type of grading system, so take you're so-called observation's and stick them up you're fucking ass. I hate to be a big fucking wet blanket, but yeah, there's my honest opinion.

I'm not talking about the stuff I've created. Where the hell did that come into play? Don't ever lump me in with anything that you perceive to have the same qualities. You're really not as bright as you perceive yourself to be.

Why would you **** on someone for hating horrible bands? I've gotta be 2
