Some of my other favorites are Sneaker Pimps, Garbage, and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. The Pimps are my all-time favorite.

My English teacher has an iPhone. He threatened us with his Shooter App once.

That was at least relevant.


Fine, fine. Jesus, does no one get bored around here or anything?

elblueblazer - 5-26-2009 at 07:42 PM

just barely.

poobs - 5-26-2009 at 07:47 PM

I don't get bored..Mainly because I don't stay on here long enough..

jellybones - 5-26-2009 at 07:56 PM

It's like brain-exploding boredom.

iaMkcK - 6-21-2009 at 10:04 AM

My musical tastes are... Very very.. Interesting.. To say the least... I'm a guitarist... Which does influence some of my Guitar music... Well.. Here... I'll just post up the music I listen to...



Blind Faith, Blue Oyster Cult, Bob Dylan, Cream, Creedence Clearwater Revival, CSN&Y, David Bowie, Dire Straits, Eric Clapton, Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, Joe Satriani, John Petrucci, Led Zeppelin, Neil Young, Nick Drake, Pink Floyd, Queen, Rolling Stones, The Band, The Yardbirds....

lol... Tom Waits. [Do I really need to group him in any genre?]

Alright... Now classic rock.. Out of the way... Hip-hop, anyone?

Aceyalone, Aesop Rock, Apathy, Artifacts, Atmosphere, Binary Star, Bobby Digital, Canibus, Common, Copywrite, C-Rayz Walz, Cunninlynguists [harhar], Cyne, Felt, Ill Bill, [Might as well throw in some mainstream] Fort Minor, Jay-Z, Kanye West, [back to underground, and back with one of the coolest mc's I've ever met] Kosha Dillz, Living Legends, Mac Lethal, Oktober ZERO, One.Be.Lo, RJD2, Scarface, Yak Ballz


Now... That is done.. Here are some random randoms, which I can't fit into any large genres like the above...


Erick Turnbull [Amazing guitarist], James Blunt, Matisyahu [Amazing Reggae artist], moe. [I guess they could have gone in the Classic Rock section.. They is a jam band.], Radiohead [Need I introduce them? Sitting on 16 albums :-o], Seu Jorge [Covered some David Bowie songs around the period of Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou being filmed], annndddd.. The Wallflowers [Good ol' 90s alt-rock].... OHHH!!! Rockchild [I found out about these guys playing at a bar I was at... They were so fucking awesome. I met the guitarist because I never seen him around the bar before and we started talking. The conversation was random and wound up with me finding out he was playing later that night. Pretty cool.]


Alright... Now... This section right here is... Mainstream rock music..


Red Hot Chili Peppers, Serj Tankian, The White Stripes...


LOL, that wasn't small at all....



Here is my pride and joy... Ska music :-D

AZZiL [French vocal Ska band. Epic. RIP], Bandits Of The Acoustic Revolution [Members of Streetlight Manifesto were in BOTAR], Bruce Lee Band [Mike Park & Rx Bandits (We will get to RxB soon), Catch 22 [After GIMP died, Tom Kalnoky joined Catch 22.. After he left this band he formed BOTAR... And it's still around to some extent, but a few of the ~15 members went on to Streetlight Manifesto.], GIMP [Well shit, I think I just described that... LOL... Tom Kalnoky was like 15 during the single CD being recording.. (1995)], Gogol Bordello [Well shit, I wouldn't know of ES&TMZ if it wasn't for them. They opened up for Gogol last month], Reel Big Fish [Typical mainstream third-wave Ska], Rx Bandits [Hands down, favorite band in the world... Seen them over 8 times live in 5 years, I plan on making that at least 11 by the time this year is up..], The Skatalites, State Radio [They used to be a Ska band, now they are more indie rock, a good listen], Sto Zvirat [Czech ska band], Streetlight Manifesto [Seen 'em live 2 times. I actually saw them and Reel Big Fish on 01-01-09. Pretty nice way to start off the new year. I love this bloody band], The Chinkees [Remember the Bruce Lee Band? Well, Mike Park used to be in this group. Oh, and Steve Choi, the keyboard/guitarist of Rx Bandits was in The Chinkees], Forces of Evil [Some Reel Big Fish members were in this group], Tsunami Rising [Good Reggae Ska band... Pretty good stuff. Out of Joisey], last but not least.. Zox... [Zox is.. Amazing. Their lead guitar is literally a violin. I found out about these guys April 16th, 2008... They were at the same show as Reel Big Fish, Rx Bandits, & Streetlight Manifesto.... My buddy looked at me and goes "Do you hear.. Ska?" and we went searching for it. There was maybe 15 people around the stage when we got up the hill... By the time they were done playing, at least 100 people were around the stage. Pretty decent considering very few knew about them.]




That about sums it up.

iaMkcK - 6-21-2009 at 10:14 AM

I might as well also throw out some of my favorites in that grouping, because some of you fellows and fellowettes might enjoy their music.

First and foremost: Rx Bandits. R X F**king Bandits. www.myspace.com/RxBandits . Their new cd comes out July 14th, sound familiar? They used to be third-wave ska. Now they are a progressive band donning the Genre of Groove-Tech. They no longer have horns, which saddens me... Check them out man. Youtube "Rx Bandits - Mandala".. It's samples from their new cd.

Next up: Love You Moon. This is Matt Embree's solo project.. Lead Singer/Guitarist.. And with the new CD, one of the drummers of Rx Bandits... www.myspace.com/LoveYouMoonDog . This is a beautiful collection of music. Good music video right here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AotZlmVd40k

Alright... Now... ES&TMZ-esque...

Well... I guess.. Zox might be up some alleys here. www.myspace.com/zox . Here's one of my favorite songs.. It literally fit a relationship I had perfectly.. Well, besides "When The Rain Comes Down Again" [That song is perfect if you've ever been in a friendship with someone you really liked... And.. They only came to you when things were going bad, because you could cheer them up... But they never realized how important you were, until you give up on being used.. Well, maybe I'm adding a little bit too much of my own experiences here, but check out the song, You'll catch it. LOL]

Next: State Radio... This band... Oh my god... www.myspace.com/stateradio . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_l12SPdM0Vk [Sad song about a guy who cares about his wife who is dying.. Check it out] . And also check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BkvRnUZJys [Song about an Ir-- Just watch the video, it'll fill you in very nicely] . Oh, and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGZ_afc_7Xs [Hell, it even says it in the song (The Swan Song of a nation)]

I got a lot more, but I tried to custom tailor this to what I think might be the easiest to groove on. :-D

minimandy14 - 6-21-2009 at 08:36 PM

Bands that are = to or > IMA Robot/ES&TMH
Scissor Sisters
The Donnas
System Of A Down
aaaaaannnnnnndddddddd
The Beatles


OH And Mindless Self Indulgence (Must not forget them)


I'm sure I'm missing a few but I don't want to bore anyone with my playlist.

minimandy14 - 6-21-2009 at 08:37 PM

DAMN! And I scroll back up to the top and I for-freakin'-got Franz Ferdinand! GAH! They are MOST DEFINATLY up there.

Dead Man's Party is my favorite album from them by far. I was watching youtube videos of them...They would have been a hoot to see live I think.

The new dredg album is still growing on me. I dont hate it by far....but I like the Leitmotif and El Cielo stuff better.

Delta - 6-22-2009 at 01:54 PM

im reall y happy they changed form heavy metal to what they are now, I couldnt really even stand listening to their old stuff

meh. hit and miss

Siyango - 7-3-2009 at 11:08 AM

Modest Mouse is my favorite. *Nod.*
But other than that, I like a lot of different bands/people.

ToxicAvenger27 - 7-3-2009 at 11:43 AM

for stuff i play on my guitar? i like learning Cure songs, as well as some solid 80s rock (white wedding, etc). Being in a ska band kinda makes that hard for me though.

listening to? i am a fan of the electro-dance stuff (lovemakers, faint, depeche mode, electric valentine/akcbd), as well as others (placebo, a bunch of 80s music, bravery). Ima robot's older songs make me smile everytime though.

Dynomite2140 - 2-14-2010 at 12:32 PM

Not much...IMA Robot dominates the world and Edward Sharpe is the king's (IMA Robot) right hand man. But pretty much any punk rock band will do just good enough to satisfy.

elblueblazer - 2-14-2010 at 10:28 PM

Hey, Dynomite2140

you seem to be posting some random shit. would you like to enlighten us on what the fuck you are trying to communicate.

I Killed Laura Palmer - 6-1-2010 at 10:09 PM

Lately, it's been almost impossible for me to switch off Edward Sharpe and Ima Robot. It's very hard to tell sometimes, but I think I actually do like some other bands.

Modwheelmood, Brand New, Blink-182, How To Destroy Angels, Black Light Burns, Scarling., Angels And Airwaves.

It all pales in comparison to my favorite bands, though. Haha.

mynameislou - 6-3-2010 at 02:50 PM

I like...The Flaming Lips and The Strokes. And stuff.

Delta - 6-3-2010 at 02:55 PM

wayne coyne is a douchechill, but dems a good band anyway

elblueblazer - 6-3-2010 at 03:15 PM

LCD SOUNDSYSTEM!

beedun - 6-4-2010 at 05:25 AM

Electric Six
Gogol Bordello
White Stripes
Julian Casablancas / The Strokes
311

Plus Ima Robot is all the music I need to stay happy!

JPG - 6-4-2010 at 06:57 AM

Electric Six is so good live, I've seen them twice.

poobs - 6-4-2010 at 09:08 AM

ahh..I love Julian Casablancas..His solo stuff and with The Strokes..His voice is beyond sexy to me..

beedun - 6-4-2010 at 12:23 PM

@JPG - me too, plus soon to be a 3rd time - they just announced new tour dates, check them out!

@poobs I think Julian's solo album is far superior to any of the 3 Strokes albums, Phrazes is just so damn good. Can't wait for more music an more touring.

acalliopemusical - 6-4-2010 at 04:08 PM

ghostland observatory (exceptionally awesome live), regina spektor, eisley, beatles, flaming lips, mamas and the papas, peter, paul, and mary, amnion (found via esmz), poe, jenny lewis, jewel :)

August 9th in Minneapolis, MN

acalliopemusical - 6-5-2010 at 07:53 PM

agreed poobs...they are very intense and very awesome. they put on the best light show i have ever seen.

-raven - 6-19-2010 at 12:24 AM

Dresden Dolls, Mindless Self Indulgence, Klaxons, Ladytron, The Joy Formidable, She Wants Revenge, IAMX, and Fever Ray would round out a nice top ten.

Recent additions to my favorites would be The xx, and Gogol Bordello.

Oh, and Hi there. I'm new. :) If someone could direct me to the intro thread I'd appreciate it, I searched and searched to no avail. :bigsmile:

Well, for you two, I'll come back and I'll tell you. Respect.

Um, my name is Rob. I'm from a quiet intersection in a very small Florida town and I wanna dominate the world. I'm breastless, sorry, Ima guy - the skinny kind. I'm believed to have been turned into a robot by this bad we named the forums after.

As for enlightening you on my previous post, I meant to say that very few bands I listen to anymore. Ima definitely has me trapped - And I like it. Other than them I listen to some older stuff (Siouxsie and the Banshees, Smash Mouth, etc) and newer stuff would pretty much be either NeverShoutNever! or Mindless Self Indulgence.

Confusing, aren't I?

Quiet intersection in a small Florida town?? Where about??

Dynomite2140 - 7-29-2011 at 03:49 AM

Gulf Hammock. Severely small, boring, backwoodsy place that's either 20 or 30 miles to any of the surrounding towns. The only real exciting thing that happens here are when friends come over or a crash at previously mentioned intersection :P

I go to school in Gainesville and that's where I like to say I live cuz a lot of my friends are generally out there doing stuff with me so I visit the town frequently.
