I listened exclusively to nu-metal and metalcore up until very late 2013. I've only had little over a year to start getting into music seriously, so I'm not that surprised.

Ah ok. They're pretty popular and got a lot of radio play with Too Many Puppies and My Name Is Mud, plus with them doing the South Park theme I figured that they were a household name.

Got turned on to Kiev and Snarky Puppy via Plug.

I'd never listened to Swans when I first made an account here. I might not even have heard of them at that point, but I dug into their discography a bit before The Seer was released. And now they've fallen squarely into indie hipster whipping boy territory.

There's been more that that, but Swans is definitely the most listened-to addition to my library that I can clearly and distinctly blame on MB.

You're welcome :)



you picked a good album too, the only weak song that album has is Silver.

i feel im repeating this ppl too much but goofie introduced me to El-p who is one of the most interesting rappers ive heard in awhile and Mondo introduced me to Andrew jackson.

Those 2 artist i actually seeked out and now luv so thanx to them for that.

Thanks to Goofle and Pete for getting me into --- even recognising the existence of --- the mighty Strawfoot! :thumb:

Silver is a great song! Why does everybody hate it? :(

Cause it's horrible, it's like a boring old western flick and the vocals reach an annoying pitch that makes me wonder what the hell were they thinking putting that on an actual album.. that B-side stuff at best.
