Favorite bands and singers
Moderators: SMU Staff, SMU Chibi-Mods
Favorite Bands:
System of a Down:I just love these guys. The thought provoking lyrices, the delightful political messages and the hidden meanings. System is definently a band that knows how to have the perfect blend when writing their song lyrics. Sure they sound kind of harsh at times but it's the kind of music that gets me so pumped up.
Jack Off Jill: I found this band during my "Woe is me stage" but I still continue to like them. They have a song for everyemotion I can think of. no matter what kind of mood I am in I can always find a song to fit in.
Inspection 12:Ah. My little no name Floridian Punk Band. How I love you so. *squeezes*
Richard Cheese: I you like Weird Al then you will absolutely go CRAZY for Richard Cheese. He remakes popular songs into a jazzy lounge style. What fun is it to hear Disturbeds Down with the Sickness in a peppy happy lounge setting. I suggest that everyone at least samples the beauty of Richard Chesse.

And really, why shouldn't we be afraid? In case you haven't heard, life is terminal. Cigarettes will kill you. So will your cellphone. Your car is a deadly weapon and alcohol is a quiet killer. Don't lick the lead-based paint on the walls. Don't lick the back of a postage stamp and certainly don't lick any strangers! That will bring you down quickly indeed. Don't drink the water but don't drink less than eight glasses a day. Your enviroment is toxic, your natural resources are dwindling, your days are numbered, but what ever you do, don't panic! The stress, don't you know, will kill you.

Flesh may cross the portal,
and seek it’s master Death.
Life may go where Death has trod,
and challenge, like Scheherazade,
he who reigns beneath the sod,
to spare a mortal’s breath.

That's about how it was for me. I had completely forgotten about them until I heard "Why does it have to be (wrong or right)" in a store and just went crazy for them all over again. They have such beautiful vocal harmonies.Slrjoecool wrote: Wow, that one of my favorite bands also. I just rediscovered them while doing karaoke the other night.

..... the only artists on your list that I recognise are Madonna, Sarah Mclachlan and 2pac. I must've been living under a rock or something..... well, I haven't listened to any AM/FM radio since the summer of 2002, so that's probably a contributing factor...
Re: Favorite bands and singers
You havent been living under a rock. Most of the artists i listed are from the 80's/90's. Most of them are underground or not well known in the mainstream.RoastedTwinkies wrote:.... wow1992 wrote:I have a weird taste in music...

I'm really out of the loop, as the only radio I really get exposed to is oldies (which is okay, because most new bands are terrible and sound the same anyway), so it took me awhile to discover these bands, but I love them:
Bowling For Soup is pretty good, but my all time favorite is:
Harvey Danger; I found these guys completely on accident while I was watching a radom anime music video. Just one listen to Flagpole Sitta and I was hooked. I'm willing to bet a dollar no one else has heard of them, though.

Kristin Chenoweth
Lea Salonga
Susan Egan
Jodi Benson
Norbert Leo Butz
So many more I can't think of off the top of my head!
Those mainstream people I go for the most are Josh Groban and Jewel.
