Well i'll agree with some of that. Though quite a few of REM's songs are not slow - Losing My Religion, What's The Frequency Kenneth, Animal. AFAIC, it all depends on what type of song it is and what kind of mood your're attempting to achieve.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Smith

lol bet your grinding your teeth though chris lol dont worry i like them i got that dvd and it is good

Any other ones you recommend?

Not sure about REM...I haven't heard any of thier songs but may see about sampling a few. What's everyone's take on System of a Down? I've heard a few of their songs and I like most of what I've heard, just not sure about going and buying an album. Opinions?

Buy memorise its there best album and will be money well spent. I LOVE soad (system of a down) seen them live and they rock!

Just reading my post again, it didn' t quite come off as I had intended. It sounds as though I hate REM, but what I was really trying to emphasize was that when I hear REM I think of that long drive in the desert listening to REM for what seemed like eternity. So I guess I'm prejudice against REM, however I have an open mind, so I guess I will try to listen to them again. I'm fairly sure I have access to all of their CDs. Can you recommend something to someone who likes music with a good rhythm and is at least fairly well paced?

Long gone are the days where I was going to gigs 2 or 3 times a week (all started in my teenage punk days many moons ago) but I must admit that when ever I hear SOAD I always seem to get that rush of youth again.

They are a sort of band that grab you by the balls and makes you bounce of the walls (padded walls in my flat ) reminds me of the days where Metalica, Anthrax, Megadeath and Helloween first grabbed me.

Thx for the feedback Jade and Lobsang. I'll check out Mezmerize. Any tracks you recommend from it? I'm kind of addicted to their song "Chop Suey" right now so if I am able to pull away from it I'll go and get Mezmerize

the names of songs some bands come up with

Hey, you can find a song about/named almost anything imaginable these days

Some of which i wouldn't want to know about

lol, good point

Well, while I dont have anything against REM, they definately dont even get near my top 10. Sure, theres alot of decent rock out there today, but classic rock holds a special place with me. Hendrix, Cash, Queen, the Doors, the Cure, Tom Petty, Pink Floyd to name a few.

Some other more contemporary favorites are: (in the order I saw them while looking through my mp3's)

311
Beastie Boys
Beck
Bloodhound Gang
Bob Marley
Coldplay
DMB
Evanescence
Foo Fighters
Gorillaz
Incubus
Jack Johnson
Jane's Addiction
Linkin Park
Metallica (before 2000)
Muse
My Chemical Romance
NIN
Pearl Jam
Radiohead
Smashing Pumpkins
STP
Sum 41
Weezer
White Stripes

And last, but certainly not least, since its been a favorite of mine since I was 14, is Sublime. A great band, who's lead left this world much too early. (Theres more, but I've taken up toomuch space already.)

I wouldnt buy it lol sorry but there not my cup of tea (S.O.A.D) I would recomend the Following

Nickelback - All the right reasons
Nickelback - The long Road
Nickelback - Siver Side Up (i see a pattern)
H.I.M - Dark Light
Motley Crew - Red White And Crew
And many more hehehe too many to name

WOW there rely good! thanks for the info

Sorry, I usually dont reply unless theres something important to say ( I try not to spam), but your line was just too funny.

Anyone heard of a band called Within Temptaion got some tickets to go see them and i was wondering if its worth it?

Well yes i heard of them, they are a bit populair i guess in germany and perhaps also holland?... anyway it's not my taste, but it isn't that bad i think...

lol so many newer bands nowadays sound the same, you have to have that bit extra to impress, which is a good thing though

@Rigel: Glad you liked it

there are a lot of new bands comeing though most of them are one hit wonders though (if you look at pop charts) but i have to admit that there are a lot of good new talent comeing though and they are rely good!

Top Of The Pops used to be good now it's filled with $%!^^& cover bands like Mc Fly and Busted.

Apologies to any fans

That kinda of "music" is not what im on about lol but it is true .
Im on about the bands that releasie a song hit nuber 1 for a week and then are never hear from again foutains of wanye are an exaple staceys mum and what since??? nothing. At least with busterd they stuck around a bit and mcfly seem to still be around! ( )

Stacey's Mum was a load of BS - how that ever got to number 1 is a mystery to me. Hate Busted and McFly, can't stand the music at all.

Thought James's Blunt's number one was pretty good though

same here never said it was good but at least there not 1 hit wonders lol
