I like a lot of stuff. I'm listening to a lot of Godsmack right now. Also a long time RATM fan. I also listen to some of the less crappy pop.

Since evanescane has been brought up, I'll mention that I enjoy their first cd, but their new single gives me a weird vibe that it's become the Amy Lee Show in a bad way. I could just be insane.

Everybody's Fool you mean?

I just thought it was trying to prove a point...

Everybodys Fool is on the Fallen cd. They've already released like 3 cds before Fallen came out, which was their big hit CD. A lot of which had tracks redone from their previous albums.

It is the Amy Lee show though. They only seemed like a band before anybody knew what her name was. What does it matter?, the material is still good.

Here are some samples of what I like. Some of the artist/genre classifications could probably be more correct.

Wheeee, good shiat!

You heard the new Nightwish CD?

heh, no, I read an article about it, but I've only heard a song or two from it. So much great music, so little time.

U2
Coldplay
Evanescence
Pink Floyd (most of)
Queensryche (seriously underappreciated... hard to believe almost no-one has heard of them where I live)
Linkin Park
Pearl Jam
Live (their older stuff mostly)
Smashing Pumpkins (their better work anyway)
Goo Goo Dolls
Metallica (some of)
Ozzy Osbourne
Emma Shapplin
Enya
The Corrs
The Ataris
Madonna (some of her work)
Savage Garden (maybe generic pop, but they did it quite well)

Hmmmm Sirius, you and I share a lot of the same music interests.

BTW, Solidairs music is mostly techno/trance by the looks of it. I recognise a lot of names on that list because I also listen to them.

Otheres I will add though:

Erasure
Depeche Mode (their old stuff not the new crap they have recently produced)
New Order
Tears For Fears
Cosmicity
Thousand Foot Krutch (Linkin Park/Hoobastank sort of stuff.
Oh, and definitly do not forget..... DEFF LEPPARD

Heheh... Def Leppard weren't too bad, although I don't get the opportunity to hear much of them. Very, very distinctive style.

Some SERIOUS variety there Clayman. I think you look for/listen to more music than I could ever hope to...

Isn't that the truth. btw, am I correct in assuming you got your internet alias from In Flames?

Yeah, though I've discovered a number of different things about it that also apply to me since then.

It's definitely the song they released to radio after everybody's fool. The co-founder abandonded the band on tour, and then they give us something with ZERO instrumental sound, everything is singing by Amy Lee. I think stardom has gone to her head and the music is suffering for it.

edit: I guess I worry that it's going from the Amy Lee Show: I make music to the Amy Lee Show: look at me I'm popular.

There was a song after Everybody's Fool? Hmm.
