kingcobweb posted:How is that racist? It's a term for the race that has been oppressing them for hundreds of years. It's racist because it's explicitly racist.. What you just said is the equivalent of me referring to black people as niggers and then justifying it by saying "Sorry but this is the term i use for the race that has been breaking into my home/on welfare/etc for x amount of years".

Aturaten posted:Well De La Soul kicks rear end. Anymore like this? If you wanted rap that's similar to De la Soul why didn't you ask for that in the first place? Your original post was terrible because you only listed a few artists you didn't like and didn't give any examples of things you like besides a video game soundtrack. Munky from KORN posted:You're on the internet. How have you gone this long without someone telling you "Yeah I only listen to real hip-hop like J5 and Blackalicious"? I'm guessing because J5 occasionally say the N-word and Blackalicious has "black" in the name. Aturaten posted:If directed at all white people, then yes, it's racist. If they're calling some bigoted hick a cracker, then it's just pejorative. Congratulations on agreeing with Twisted Aristocrat's fakepost.

If you ARE being pedantic on an internet comedy website, the word cracker is, when directed toward a person/group of people from Caucasian background, a racial epithet at best. That's it, i'm done, recommend me some more rap like De La Soul.

Aturaten posted:Because I didn't know about them? My mistake, I just realized you listened to some De la Soul after your initial post. In that case, A Tribe Called Quest and Pete Rock and CL Smooth are similar. Last.fm http://www.last.fm/music/De+La+Soul and allmusic http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:wvfyxq85ldke are good resources for finding similar artists.

miss Santa posted:I love Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds and Tom Waits, what else could I like? Try folk singer William Elliott Whitmore, alt-country goddess Neko Case (specifically her album Blacklisted), and legendary Irish traditional/punk band The Pogues (specifically their album Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash). All very different from each other (and from Cave and Waits), but they are all brilliant lyricists and storytellers, and there is a streak of darkness permeating all their music.

CharlesWillisMaddox posted:shut the gently caress up about rap music and recommend me some more Stevie Wonder other then Innvervisions. I'm one of the only people who will do this, but if you can get The Secret Life of Plants, I would definitely recommend that wholeheartedly. It's different from most of his other albums, and he tries to use a lot of other influences. It's one of my favorites of his. That, Innervisions, and Music of My Mind are what I consider his top 3. alansmithee fucked around with this message at 19:41 on May 2, 2009 |

In terms of heavy music, I listen to the canon stoner rock/metal bands (kyuss, sleep, high on fire, electric wizard) then the GA group of recent metal bands (Baroness, Mastodon, Kylesa, Torche), and also Boris I guess. So I was wondering where else and what else I should start looking into in terms of metal? Another question I have is: what other groups sound like hosed Up? I really like the mix of lots of layers of guitars with the intensity of it and whatnot.

So I was wondering where else and what else I should start looking into in terms of metal? There's the earliest doom metal bands that played slower Black Sabbath inspired stuff in the 80s like Pentagram, Witchfinder General, Saint Vitus, Trouble, The Obsessed, and Candlemass. Then there's the Melvins, who were one of the first bands to mix punk with doom, paving the way for sludge metal. They were especially influential to some of the bands you mentioned. Earth - early drone metal Neurosis - early post metal Southern sludge - Acid Bath, Corrosion of Conformity, Crowbar, Down, Eyehategod There's a bunch more, but those are probably the most "essential" especially Melvins.

Thanks Way Past Cool, I'll check those out.kingcobweb posted:Well, they're post-hardcore with some shoegaze elements, so I'd check out canon post-hardcore/"underground" bands like Dinosaur Jr, and maybe noise-rock like The Jesus Lizard. I listen to Dinosaur Jr., at least what I think are some of the other canon underground/hardcore/post-hardcore bands (although I'm never really sure how to categorize them) like Sonic Youth / Husker Du / Sebadoh / Minutemen. I really love the Jesus Lizard, and the only other think like it that I listen to is Big Black, which I only have Songs About loving from. Maybe what I'm looking for is intense shoegazing? My only exposure to shoegazing is really My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive. Thanks for all the help

Though I've seen a lot of people hate on them, A Place To Bury Strangers seems right up your alley, too. Halfway between MBV and noise rock. And I think that WPC may have actually meant to link to page 14 in this thread (there was discussion of noise rock there).

I want some metal that's extremely fast/heavy with clean(not growling) vocals, like Strapping Young Lad or Death's last album. I also want some technical death metal, I have all of Death's, Necrophagist's and Decapitated's albums already. edit: I'm also not a very big fan of death metal, but I strangely like Cryptopsy a lot so any recommendations on that would be nice.

Té is angry, I guess, I wouldn't really call it angry, just fast paced or aggressive. If you want angrier sounding stuff you can always branch into post-metal too with bands like Neurosis who build up into an actual angry climax.

So if you're a reggae fan, and someone asks for some reggae and their first thought is the most popular reggae artist of all time, you don't want their recommendations? Alright I guess.. I'll just wait for someone else as it appears I am not qualified.

I'm looking for a new obsession. I need music that gives me a concept or good lyrics to think about while I'm enjoying the music, I like a bent sense of humor, I like it loud, I like texture and odd instrumentality, I like pop music that is pushing beyond the bounds of pop music. The following bands have filled this role for me at one time or another: -Godspeed You! Black Emperor -The loving Champs -Jethro Tull -Pink Floyd -Mr. Bungle -Tom Waits -The Artists Forever Known as the Justified Ancients of Mu Mu -The Pogues Bonus Points if you can find me something specifically to replace the JAMs in my life. augustaugustaugust fucked around with this message at 04:46 on May 5, 2009 |
