entertheninja! Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 (edited) Captain Minimate I applaud you! Green Day's new album is anthem;my favorite tracks are "Viva La Gloria","21st Century Breakdown", and "Song of the Century". I think it might have to do with both of us being the younger ones but I still try to be open to all musical genres. And Deadpool, I respect your taste but you seriously have a Kanye West song on your list! I stopped listening to Kanye after "Graduation" where all he did was hock songs from other artists...but that's my opinion...=) Edited June 15, 2009 by entertheninja!

Green Day will do anything as long is it makes the popular, and sadly their targeted age group is "the kiddies", so doing anything is basically making them look like "rebellious rockers". Unlike Green Day and many other artists, Kanye takes time to write his songs, and doesn't throw out random crap hoping to get a "radio hit". But that's just my opinion.

IndieMate Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 IMO, "21st Century Breakdown" and "American Idiot" totally suck. Green Day has gone WAY too mainstream and they're almost pop-punk. They've started doing friggin' power ballads (Boulevard of Broken Dreams and 21 Guns), they've lost all of their hardcore-ness(Is that a word?), and they dress like emo pussies: 1994: NOW: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I'll play for real now (and see if anybody really recognizes anyone I listen to): Steve Taylor tobymac Third Day Casting Crowns Mercy Me Newsboys Bride Wow. I can honestly say I've never heard of any of those bands. I am so out of touch I know Taylor Dane, and Steven Tyler, and James Taylor, and Steve Perry, but no Steve Taylor. I know Counting Crows (unfortunately), but no Casting Crowns I know the Pet Shop Boys, Beastie Boys, Beach Boys, and Girls Against Boys, but no Newsboys I even know Marcy Playground and Marvin Gaye, but no Mercy Me as for Green Day's new stuff, I don't like what I've heard, but I loved their older stuff when I was in high school. Coming home to play Mortal Kombat II and listening to Dookie. . .good times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike Green Day and many other artists, Kanye takes time to write his songs, and doesn't throw out random crap hoping to get a "radio hit". But that's just my opinion. I like Kanye West but he can not yet begin to hold a candle to Green Day. Green Day does not just write songs they write concept albums. American Idiot is the greatest rock record of this young century. Having seen both live I can attest to the stage presence of Billie Joe Armstrong. He is a fucking general on the stage, all he would need to do is give the order and the crowds would take to the streets. It is like no show I have ever seen. Green Day writes socially conscious songs that are accessible to people that is why they are all over the radio. To say that their targeted group is "the kiddies" is ridiculous. What song is it you think is trying to appeal to "the kiddies"? Have you listened to American Idiot? That album alone targets religion, the government, the media and basically any other group that tries to do your thinking for you. So if they were targeting a young audience they are doing it with the message think for yourself. I like Kanye West but he has a long way to go to deserve being mentioned in the same breath as Green Day. IMO, "21st Century Breakdown" and "American Idiot" totally suck. Green Day has gone WAY too mainstream and they're almost pop-punk. They've started doing friggin' power ballads (Boulevard of Broken Dreams and 21 Guns), they've lost all of their hardcore-ness(Is that a word?), and they dress like emo pussies: 1994: NOW: It's hard to take anything you say about music seriously because you listen to Slipknot.

He actually know a couple of the guys from Casting Crowns from college. no one likes rammstein? nope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marquis de Carabas Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I like Kanye West but he can not yet begin to hold a candle to Green Day. you are comparing apples and oranges right now. I mean, they're both musical artists, but um... comparing sub-par (IMO) pop-punk and hip hop (or whatever kanye is considered) is absurd. that's essentially like saying celine dion is better (or worse) than the beastie boys, or that mcdonalds is a better restaurant than red lobster. same ballpark, but the argument is kind of null.

Lot of Green Day haters on this board. I don't see how any comparison that I did make is that outlandish. Just because they are not in the same genre does not mean that they can not be compared. I'm sure that we can all agree that The Dark Knight is a far better movie than Ernest Goes to Jail? Both are movies although not in the same genre.

groundhog7s Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I'm sure that we can all agree that The Dark Knight is a far better movie than Ernest Goes to Jail? Hey Vern, speak for yourself. Jim Varney would totally whup Heath Ledger if they were both still alive. I can honestly say I've never heard of any of those bands. There's a good chance you've heard some of their stuff, just had no clue who it was. I'm also a lifelong fan of Weird Al if that helps. When I was young(er), my uncle sent me a tape of the Dr. Demento Show that just happened to be when Weird Al debuted his first song on there. I've been a fan ever since. Through my childhood, I listed to his albums more than anything. I haven't bought any fo several years now, but listen to whatever new stuff he puts out when I can find it. He is one of the most under-appreciated musicians out there (IMO) and has managed to progress with the times more than most real artists. I've said it before (and will say it again) I would love to see the day when we have an Al Minimate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Harris Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 It's hard to take anything you say about music seriously because you listen to Slipknot. Touché! no one likes rammstein?

Randymarsh Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I try not to hate on others music too much, most of it I can respect what they do. The only thing that really grinds my gears is stupid overproduced, overplayed, and overhyped pop music from boy bands, brittney spears, or anything in between. I also hate Nickelback. Other than that, listen to what you wanna listen to, and though I may prefer old green day to new, that opinion can change with just one listen to just one song. It's all subjective.

NorthRaider Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I really don't want to entangle myself in the genre flame war here so I'm just gonna do my own thing and say: I miss Soundgarden. Specifically, I once heard "Blow Up The Outside World" on the radio this summer and just got transported to another dimension or something. I don't know whether I'm a sucker for grunge in general or for Chris Cornell's voice, but hearing that song to me felt like falling in love with rock music all over again. And then I realize I only have Superunknown on CD and am now depressed by the fact that I have to track down their other albums (and some Audioslave ) on top of saving up for the upcoming mates this year. Also, like every other hipster in my country I've become enamored with the music of . (They were once featured on the BBC! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like The Killers and am proud to say they are my favorite band...oh and if you want to see something funny about Kanye check this out, and keep in mind discretion is advised=): oh and NorthRaider there isnt a war its a debate Edited June 17, 2009 by entertheninja!

Punisher Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 (edited) Haha, I loved that episode of South Park. I think you may have misunderstood my tone. I don't hate Green Day or you for liking Green Day. I just personally think that their whole image is just for show. The Killers are a great band. I have bought all of their CDs to support them. Back to "music...and you...". A year or two ago if you would have asked me what kind of music I like, I would have said Alt. and Punk rock, and nothing else. Now I like all kinds of music. Rap, Indie, 70's-80's. As long as it isn't Country or like randymarsh said "overproduced, overplayed, and overhyped pop music from boy bands, brittney spears, or anything in between" I'll like it. I also hate Nickelback and the Nickelback wannabes like Daughtry and Three Days Grace. What kind of music does everybody else listen too?

karamazov80 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 (edited) You guys should all go buy Steve Earle's Train A Comin' It is cheap, and it is a revelation. Track samples can be heard here. See, Texas is good for something! Another essential album is the Modern Jazz Quartet's Django. Nobody in jazz can get your feet tapping at low decibels the way that Lewis, Jackson, Heath, and Clarke can.

NorthRaider Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I only own two of Muse's albums myself (Absolution, Black Holes & Revelations) but I agree that the band is all kinds of awesome. Plus I hear Bellamy's a pretty good head of crazy himself: I mean, the guys into astronomy and conspiracy theories and stuff. How awesome is that? Am hoping to track down their older albums now, especially the one that had "Megalomaniac" on it. Epic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthRaider Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Oh right, it's just "Megalomania" without the "c" Apologies But on that note, "Megalomaniac" was such a wicked cool song too. Almost makes me wish Incubus was still doing mostly funk rock or metal or whatever it was they used to do before they switched to all those ballads... What does everybody think of Incubus?
