i love the roots, i think theyre so good! lol you probly hear the same typa thing wen any1 talks about a band they like, but this stuff is good. its like hip hop with a reggae twist almost in some of theyre songs? Its wicked i love it!!! the seed by the roots ft cody chesnutt is 1 of the best songs ive EVER heard, and ive been in love with it for most of this year!!!

yeah i love em....they're amazing i got vol 2 of their like best tracks album for xmas....its awesome. i love reggae too, so the influences in the roots music make it really cool for me, i love that whole off beat dancing style, i love ska too. nah the roots are class....actually good hip hop compared to alot of the really commercial stuff around. i love 'good music' by them....and lotsa other stuff too. wat other music do u like?

cilly_vanilly · 12-29-2005, 09:21 PM

ahm my fav of all time is jack johson. lol just had 2 say that... then im into the same sorta style as jack so john butler missy higgins xavier rudd, g-love donavon frankenreiter, dispatch, howie day, bob marley, oasis, incubus, sufjan stevens, cody chesnutt

then indie so death cab for cutie, the killers, jacks mannequin, bell and sebastian, louis XIV, modest mouse

then hip so go the roots, atmosphere, hilltop hoods, drapht, immortal technique

then into punk so go millencolin sum41 blink 182, the hot lies, hawthorne heights (bit heavier then punk tho), afi, frenzal rhomb, the living end and system of a down

so yeh its sorta a wide mix but good all the same! how bout u? sorry if this is heaps long...! lol

yeah ive got a pretty wide variety of music taste too, i love jeff buckley, van morrison, nina simone.....al green...ahh wat a classic!
i also love alot of reggae bob marley and the wailers...and ska i just love dancing to ska and the whole vibe...special AKA, selecter etc etc..
errmmm i love the stone roses....'she bangs the drums' is one of my faves

i like the rolling stones, led zeppelin.
errmm i love hot hot heat they put on a great gig and the pixies are amazing i saw them both live at reading festival last year.
and then hip hop i obviously love the roots, the roots manuva are class, and i also like kanye west when it comes to commercial hip hop, other stuff too which ive seen at gigs but i doubt anyone knows.
do u go to any festivals? and what do u think of all this new "indie rock" stuff out namely the kaiser cheifs....(personally i dont like it at all but we are all entitled to our own opinions).....ohh and i forgot the legend and one of the best guitarist to ever of walked this earth...jimi hendrix!!!!

cilly_vanilly · 01-01-2006, 09:08 PM

oh good 1! yeh jeff buckleys got sum wicked stuff, i forgot 2 mention him!
i actually quite like the kaiser cheifs....but i dunno if i'd call them indie rock.... like they are but then if u compare them 2 like death cab theyre heaps different.... spose its kinda rock u can dance to if u no wat i mean?

what are hot hot heat like? ive never heard anything of theirs but quite a few ppl on this web have mentioned them? wats sum good songs i should download by them? thanx!!

addiction · 01-02-2006, 06:19 AM

yeah thats precisely my point hence the "" .......they call themselves indie rock... so a load of kids reckon they like alternative music when really they are listening to pop with influences from that genre....which pisses me off....

hot hot heat are class.......ermmm 'bandages' is a good one and....'naked in the city again' errrrrm 'no, not now' in fact all of the songs from the 'make up the breakdown' album are really good....they are a great band to see live cos they really get the audience going.
i suppose you could describe them as indie rock with pop/punk influences.

do u go to many gigs? who did u last see live?

cilly_vanilly · 01-02-2006, 06:23 AM
