Yep, it looks like a pretty diverse list, a lot of classic rock, lol. But a good list nonetheless.

This thread should be worth a few bans.

What's wrong with classic rock? To me The Doors, Jimi, and The Vlevet Underground don't sound dated at all

I never said anything was wrong with the Classic Rock, just that they seem to predominate your list is all, lol. It's good music anyways, I've just weaned off of it in recent times.

A bunch of those bands I haven't listened to in ages, like Cream, and Jefferson Airplane

What does "Emo" even refer to anymore? Nowadays when i hear people call something emo it is usually deathcore bands like Job for a Cowboy. I have heard nothing about whiny bands that i would have associated with emo, and there are no "emo kids" at my school...

The term "emo" sucks ass for the most part.

bardonodude · 09-06-2009, 10:38 AM

emo is a bastardized term that hasnt been used correctly since mainstream record labels used it to market the generic bands they put out.

has anyone ever listened to Grade before? They kind of started the whole neo-emo thing but did it pretty sweet. i know a lot of people call scenesters emo, gah.
