...I just turned this thread in to a Martha Stewart show.

All ya need is some crusty bread. (you already probably have some) That does sound super yummy. Especially if it's cold out where you are.

Got the bread, and it's indeed cold here. I always cook lots of soup, all throughout fall and winter season.

What was this thread about again? Oh, right.

Offspring had a good album or two.

Could never really get in to those guys, liked a song here and there, but not much else.

And damn it, sometimes potatoes piss me off. They cook, but then you get those stubborn pieces that don't want to hurry up and soften. I want to go to bed, damn it. I work all damn night, and I don't want to be up all damn day, waiting for them got damn potatoes to hurry up and get done so I can finish that got damn, spoon lickin' good, soup!

I thought there was a rule that you had to be over 13??? Get these babies out of here before we're all arrested!

I know general things like Batlord listen to a lot of metal, Trollheart/Nea listen to a lot of music from the past, Goofle like everything, etc.

Didn't mean to derail the thread, I'll be bowing out again. I just felt the need to point that out.^ Have fun flaming each other!

My point exactly. Don't assume you know someone's musical taste just because of some stuff they've posted or reviewed. Hidden depths, people. Hidden depths...

I haven't read through much that's been posted save for my drunken ramblings from last night, and I'm only posting this because I've already plastered my diluted thoughts all over this thread, and just want to clarify, or rather do this the 'correct' way with a clearer head. This is in no way a retaliation against you Batlord at all, these are just my true thoughts about your "Taste" in music (since you're the one that pulled me into this) that I would otherwise just internalize. I don't feel the need to judge other peoples thought processes, or judge what they're most passionate about, because that's what makes them who they are.

I was taking the piss with the fogie comment, and honestly thought you'd take it in stride, but if you just don't want me to call you one that's fine. I wasn't even criticizing your taste, just saying that I'd like it if you could rap with some people about music you don't seem to be familiar with yet. You introduced me to (liking) Rush, which I'm truly grateful for, but I'd like to return the favor. It's just hard to know what to talk to you about since you mostly post about bands that you seem to dig already without giving much info about what you might like to explore.

Batlord: Very myopic and juvenile, and a lack of any real understanding of what you're actually listening to. Like a bully on a playground, you mock and ridicule anyone who thinks differently than you, and it really shows your low self esteem. Sure, metal and all it's offshoot genres can be entertaining and pleasing to the ear at times, but I feel you try a bit too hard to come across as someone who is "Hardcore" and you miss out on the real beauty of the music you refuse to except, which probably stems from having a fear of intimacy, and I'm about as impressed with the vastness of your musical catalog as I am with someone who has 20 guitars but can't play any of them. You're young, and indeed still have something to prove, so I can understand this, and it really showed some progress to me that you excepted Rush wholeheartedly. I got an even bigger kick out of you freaking out about Praxis, since that's a genre you wouldn't normally seek out. You're musical taste is really right on par with someone your age. Not beyond, not below, but right there at the fulcrum point with which one starts to grow into who they will become for the rest of their life.

Definitely still in the learning stage of my musical education, but a lot of my arrogant postings about mocking this or that is generally tongue in cheek. Yes, I haven't been that big on prog, but most of my invective about it is just to get under TH's skin, which is just supposed to be friendly jabs. You will notice however that I often admit to not being an expert on anything. I like to think I have a good handle on thrash, but even things like death and black metal I'm not that much of an expert on. I've had limited money and limited internet access, that's hampered my ability to listen to everything I'd like to, even in metal. My arrogance on the subject is just a persona for yucks. My Batcave journal is just a caricature, not a declaration of supremacy.

I legitimately appreciate Plankton's post right here, because it clears the air about what someone thinks of my taste, rather than people just saying that I'm some kind of metal expert, which a bunch of people seem take seriously. More people should understand that I'm intentionally full of ****. Unless otherwise stated, just assume I'm being goofy, no matter how insulting.

And I really don't want to have some silly feud with you. You're one of my fav people on here. I know that even the best of friends are going to have negative opinions of one another, but that doesn't mean they can't voice them without having a falling out.

And I'd pretend not to like it.

Sorry, but I don't think anybody who isn't a metalhead has much bad to say about your music taste.

I like this idea. Maybe once every day of the weekend. All day for those who want to, with an emphasis on certain times for those who only want to do it for a certain amount of time while still having a community experience. I keep meaning to plug more, but I keep forgetting to.

No. You listed the Offspring and Disturbed. I dig some Offspring and Disturbed. But to mention them in a short list of your fav bands requires mockery. Deal with it.

This really was my intent for the thread. There's so much "You have such great taste, I want to jerk you off just so your taste will squirt all over me", that I think more honest opinions just aren't expressed, and I like the idea of a more open environment for opinions. The whole point of a music forum is for discussion, not JUST camaraderie. A little trolly fun is just a bonus.

This is true. Which is why I didn't take this thread seriously. I'm keen on Chevelle, Bush, TOOL, Lacuna Coil, Soilwork...so f*cking what, do any of you really think that's all I listen to, mainstream groups?

I think Trollheart has said it best; hidden depths. I think I've said any number of times now on here, that I like my share of mainstream music, but who doesn't? If this thread is to be something worth while, I think people will have to accept this. But if everyone just wants to have fun with it, and not be out to hurt feelings or offend, be elitist pricks, then I'm all for it. But don't call me stuck up, pretentious, or a music snob when I laugh off your opinion of the kind of music listener I am, or my taste, because you just don't know enough about what I like to know what you're talking about, and I think that goes for everyone that has given their opinion on people in this thread.

You don't know me.

Now, I can finally go to bed. My soup is done! Later everyone.

@ Batlord

lol, I just read your new, drunken post. You still make it sound like mainstream is the kind of music I focus on, because it isn't. I steer away from mainstream, because I want music that comes from a different place of creativity, that's not so shallow. I like mainstream bands, but it's like I said, most everyone does. But mainstream is not where my taste resides in. And I'm not lost on what underground music is, neither. So I'm not some poser guy haha. Iron Maiden, Judas Priest? Been there, done that my friend. If you want to send me rec's, try sending me obscure bands in these genre; Metal, Doom Metal, Thrash Metal, Power Metal, bare in mind that I have to have good melody in the music I listen to, I don't like bands that seem to think melody isn't important.

I'm on beer #9, so give me one genre you want above all others, preferably with some sub-genre specifics. Tomorrow I can give you something extensive. But right now i need something I can just list a bunch of like-minded groups without having to use real thought. Hey, you like Rob Flynn? Here's Vio-Lence, his band before Machine Head. They're stereotypical thrash to the nth degree, but they ****ing rule. **** yeah Vio-Lence. So pissed I missed them when they were doing reunion shows back in the day. They need to release new music, but it is what it is. Vocals are kind of an aqcuired taste, but whatevs. If you don't like them then don't talk to me.

And here's Dark Angel just cause. Brutal prog thrash brilliance.
