@Mike G: i have to point out, that not once did wilde actually say something along the lines of "linkin park sucks, and everyone who likes them are idiots" which would be ignorant and intolerant, but all he did was express an opinion, which in a nutshell was "linkin park sucks"

Linkin Park really are not a favourite of mine, not in their original form, the only Linkin Park album I own is the Reanimation LP, which shows how their riffs, lyrics and such could be put to better use. But their latest offerings of Meteora and Collision Course with Jay-Z really are pandering to the latest emo trend. In The End was a really decent song, made really ****ing awsome by Kutmaster Kurt and Motion Man, and then raped, pissed on and pillage by mishers mixing it with Izzo by Jay-Z.

However, they make more money than me (a humble console jockey and amateur musician/producer) and so they have a form of success, and access to some rather fine ass in the process.

There are a lot of people who really knock me for my tastes in music, but you can not please everyone with your tastes, and why should you? Music taste is an entirely personal thing. My all time favourite song (has been for a year, record time) is The Great Below by Nine Inch Nails. However, I actually made up a list of my all time top 50 favourite songs, I posted it on a bolg, and I think here too, but I could not just make a top 5, or a top 10. I needed 50 to get all my all time favourites in. Seeing Jimi Hendrix next to Nine Inch Nails and Infected Mushroom could freak some people out.

So yeah, if you have got a spare hour to kill, try making an all time top 50, or a top 25, or whatever. you'll remember songs that you forgot about long ago.

I have now got inspiration to update the Jask top 50.

Kill The Revolution

Most things by Metallica (so-what is a disturbing track..but great fun after a few GB's hehe)
Fave song right now...hmm...don't really have one..i'll come back to it

Chips, you should know by now that every time I say something like that I'm not actually serious. I overuse hyperbole for very minor things, and usually with a huge grin on my face. So I was joking. So hah.
(I do dislike their music. and I do think that they're horrible lyricists, talentless performers, and crappy songwriters. And a sellout to 'popular interests'. But that is merely an opinion)

Plus, I'm used to having my music taste bashed. I don't mind. I for some reason unknown to mortal minds can withstand Geddy Lee's inhumanly high voice, and in fact I love it. I still admit that it's bloody freaky and sometimes not the best suited to what he sings.

In that case I must apologise. Fraid I've had a humour transplant recently (as in it no longer exists). I just read the thread, and saw someone having a pop at other peoples tastes for no reason - which I disliked.

Sorry

no need to apologise, not everything is to be read as serious all the time. (I have thr problem where i see everything online as a joke)

Kill The Revolution

I no longer have any favorite songs. They all have been smushed out of my head by the repetitive playing of kiddie songs and viewings of childrens videos.

*stuffs more cotton wool in ears*

my fav song is Push It by Static-X..

bur...err the last song I had stuck in my head was "He's got the whole world in his hands"(saw ConAir). Some of me friends thought I was loosing it..glad its all over now ..

(just imagine a 6ft 4in - 17 year old, singing that song while rocking left and right...and you will get a picture )

Was never into Push It that much, preferred the stuff off Shadow Zone

Kill The Revolution

Try this up for size

The Violent Femmes - Kiss Off
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Is This Love?
Andrew Bird - The Naming of Things

Btw, Alpha, are you aware that the Goldfinger cover of 99 Red Balloons sucks The original by Nena was much better than any of the crappy covers I've heard 7 Seconds anyone?

Nena did it a lot better, although she never quite managed to master her strange accent. I went to see her perform at the Aston Guild of Students in erm 198-a long time ago..... lovely girl btw. nice figure.

I wasnt saying I liked it.... They are songs stuck in my head that I cant get out

Only listen to System Of A Down at the moment;

**** The System, A.D.D, Mr. Jack and Question! are the ones I've been humming all day

@jake

yea that album is good too, "Destroy All" is the best one

thought "The Only" reminds me too much of Need for Speed...
