Other than Weird Al? It's terribly predictable. It's adaptation into Ska music is the only good thing to come of it, IMO.

Don't get me started on ska - I could give you a three-page dissertation.

Yes, it's predictable. I don't necessarily appreciate it for its complexity of composition. But, I've learned not to be a snob for such things, and with the appropriate amount of Poles and beer it sure can be fun.

Just like Tejano music.

Really? I've never met any fellow Polacks who like Tejano that much.

I thought the substitution of "pole" with "hispanic" would be self-apparent.

I thought you meant structurally, not culturally.

My music is soundtracks, and mainly Star Trek ones.

In fact I think the most beautiful Trek music has got to be First Contact IMO.

But I must say that Picard's Flute Solo in an orchestral arrangement is a beautiful piece of music.

Inner Light?

Yeah, I snagged a MP3 version of it with an orchestra supporting the flute playing. Like I said it's a beautiful piece.

Recently i discovered Tomas luis de Victoria. Highly recommendable for people who like choirs. Also highly recommendable for the rest who don't like choirs as much.

Got a big range, but I like a lot of stuff from the 80's.

Favorite band of all time was, is and forever shall be Huey Lewis and the News.

Heart of Rock and roll

For me, top three bands at the moment:

Disturbed

Soilwork

Sonic Syndicate


Metal = awesome

the rest = weak and girly lol

Soundgarden is one of the best groups ever, musically, and content-wise; for those of you who haven't heard Chris Cornell and co. here's a few great songs.

From Badmotorfinger:

Rusty Cage, which is pretty much my theme song.

New Damage

Jesus Christ Pose (w interview), and for the musically inclined here, here's a guy playing it on drums to give an idea just how complex it really is.

From Superunknown, arguably one of the best rock albums ever made (though I like Badmotorfinger better):

Fell on Black Days

4th of July (fan video w original track)

And, from Down On The Upside, their last album:

Pretty Noose

Burden In My Hand

Take the time to listen; it's totally worth it.

"Full on Kevin's Mom" has always been my favorite. I didn't always like Soundgarden - but if you actually take the time to listen critically, Kim Thayil is a genius. He's not the best technical guitarist out there; but his understanding and application of theory and experiment is incredible. He uses a lot of uncommon, even unique, dropped or open tunings, which completely alter the effect of a song.

Indeed. Matt Cameron is also one hell of a drummer, in terms of timing.

Meshuggah's Combustion; one of the most complex and cool songs I've ever heard.

Just because I feel like it, some Richard Cheese.

Country, jazz, soul, bluegrass, salms, rock and a very small amount of rap/R&B.
