Quadrophenia is amazing! Have you seen the movie?.

Yeah I really like it. Hoping for an eventual Blu-Ray release.

How does Guided By Voices sound live anyways.

Drunk. Very, very drunk.

Ya, I've no idea why I haven't seen the movie yet. Guess I'll have to get on that. Sucks Guided by Voices were drunk on stage, unless it helped somehow. The only major band I've seen in concert is REO Speedwagon. They're so cheesy, but they're so awesome. Favorite album is the Cow album (R.E.O), followed closely by Tuna Fish and Ridin' the Storm Out; they were by far their best in the 70's, new album wasn't bad though.



It's been awesome checking out all the bands everybody's been listing!!! That song was messed up Denizen . Kind of liked it though.

LOL, listen to the rest of the album (I think you can hear all of it on YouTube), it just gets weirder.

I mainly listen to metal (most kinds), with the occasional splash of hard rock. I have a few weird tastes, like Hank Williams Jr. (although I hate country overall)

My absolute favorite bands are probably

GNR
Slayer
Iron Maiden
Children of Bodom
Pantera
Megadeth

I like and appreciate classical music (especially JS Bach) and Gregorian chants, too, although I don't listen to them as much.

Oh I got into music just a little before I got into film. Since then I have found it pretty hard to split my free time between watching movies and listening to music. I usually listen to Indie-Folk/Pop/Rock, and Folk and Psychedelic stuff from the late 60's and early 70's. On occasion I've also been known to add a Hip Hop/Rap album into my collection. Recently though I've been getting into some underground bands from the 80's and 90's. Anyways here are my top 25 favorite bands/artists.

1. The New Pornographers
2. My Morning Jacket
3. Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros
4. Loch Lomond
5. Nick Drake
6. Neil Young and all of his side projects/previous bands like Buffalo Springfield, Crazy Horse, and Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. Oh and the Stills-Young Band.
7. The National
8. DeVotchKa
9. The Bats
10. Josh Ritter
11. Sigur Rós

Honestly, it reminds me of Tiny Tim only deeper. Make of that what you will.
