Alright, here goes, we'll see if it catches on. Basically, post a couple bands you like, they don't have to be your favorites they could just be some new bands you've gotten into recently, and the person underneath you will judge a couple of them and make an overall appraisal of your taste in music. I'll go first:

Pere Ubu
Meat Puppets
Husker Du
My Bloody Valentine
Polvo
Slint
Tool
Dinosaur Jr.
Minutemen
Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Wire
Television
Pavement
Blonde Redhead
Thinking Fellers Union Local #282
Mercury Rev
Black Sabbath
Kyuss

Rachel's = great post-rock

crowquill - Most of the mellow stuff on your list just kind of bugs me, Death Cab, Sigur Ros, Elliot Smith, none of 'em do very much for me. Decemberists and Converge are pretty good but most of the other stuff on your list I don't really like or know. I respect most of it though, save Thursday and Blink.

swim - good list overall, a couple bands i've never really gotten into (sebadoh, built to spill) and more that i don't know. obviously i love the fall, clinic, dinosaur jr, i'm not that into indie or emo but to each his own. no bands that i despise so, good enough.

cardboard adolescent · 12-20-2006, 08:44 PM

sweet, i'm not so much into the ultra-heavy death metal or whatever but I'm always down for some good doom so kyuss, black sabbath, sleep etc three severed thumbs up. if metal does it for you that's cool with me, i'd probably get bored without branching out a bit more, but a cool list nevertheless

some high number / some slightly higher number
