Let Me Introduce Myself
 

Hello, DarkRebel here - Dark Rebel on Plug.
The genres of music that I mainly listen to are: jazz, country, traditional pop, blues, rock and roll, new age and classical.
Yeah, I know, probably not what most here listens to; but whatever, it is what I like.

Welcome!

Did you find us through plug? I feel like I've seen you in our plug room before.

Also what are some of your favourite artists?

Saw you in Plug earlier this evening. Welcome to the board. I think you'll find that most people here who seem to have unusual taste actually have a solid admiration for traditional pop, blues, and rock & roll as well.

welcome to the site, glad you signed up!

Welcome to Music Banter.

Welome aboard! I'm not sure what you mean by "traditional pop" but I like pop from a lot of different eras. And I love jazz and rock. And I dig blues, new age and classical. I think you'll find a lot of people who like a lot of different things here.

I listen to mainly rap. I have the worst taste.

Welcome to the site.

Ever given heavy metal music a shot?

Welcome to the worst site on the internet.

@Frownland: I didn't find MB through Plug.
Just some random artists that I like - Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers, Waylon Jennings, Frank Sinatra, Buddy Guy, Bo Diddley, Yanni & Cameron Carpenter.

@Janszoon: Traditional Pop - Vocal jazz-oriented pop music highly popular in Western (and particularly American) cultures as the dominant commercial music style in the pre-rock & roll era. Mainly, traditional pop's repertoire is based on songs written by professional songwriters (standards) and performed by vocalists mostly accompanied by an orchestra or big band. [Definition from RYM]

@The Identity Matrix: Yes, I have given metal a try before. I was once big into metal. Through all the different stages of liking metal that I've been through, I'd have to say that the biggest was when I was into -core. My taste in music has evolved and I now lack a desire for metal.

I've listened to a bit of some of those artists, but the only one recently was Waylon Jennings. Can't say I'm hard on for outlaw country, but some of that **** was nice.

You really do.

Apparently I'm already on this guys ignore list.

He's got good taste.

Agreed.

Take my hand and I can guide you back to the promised land

Take my hand and I can show you where the -core is no longer bland.

I don't want to go back to listening to metal.

Nice taste man. I need to listen to more Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers, I particularly enjoyed everything I've heard from them. Frank Sinatra is always a good listen. Welcome to MB.

Then you just ain't listening to the right metal. **** that Killswitch Engage ****, bro.

Metal is good for you. You could at least give it another chance.

You need dat iron in your daily diet or you'll die.

I could give metal another chance, but I'm not. That door is closed.

:( Not even a little?

The bro has plenty of time to realize his mistake. Give him time. We have plenty of it after all. Leave it. More riffs for us.

I will wait patiently then.

In the meantime do this if you have not already. It is essential.

I wonder if Dark Horse already understands the nature of MB and was just trying to get some decent obscure metal recs by saying they're not into the genre

Nope, not trying to get any metal recommendations. I truly do not listen to metal anymore.

Metal is changing a lot, I truly think there's something for everyone. If you dig jazz then by extension you will probably like some metal. A lot of bands are blending the two to the point where you can't tell where one genre starts and the other begins.

Currently not the one driving off newbs with bitching about metal. Just want that one on record.

Well that was a trip! I went and listened to the ...To Reduce the Choir to One Soloist comp. I was in the middle of Pallbearer but had to check it out on the name alone. Quite good if you ask me. Looks like only the one "album" though. What a shame...

After having been a huge fan of metal as a teen i grew to hate it once i got into "experimental" music. But thanks to MB I have rediscovered my love for metal lately and got a little less snobbish about the whole thing.

And so it goes...

@grindy MB won't get me back into metal, I can rest assure you that!

Have you listened to any Steve Earle, I wonder?

oi!

Killswitch Engage is good ****.

Also keep up the good fight and resist Dark Rebel.

I like Killswitch, but that **** they inspired sux.

@Trolheart: Steve Earle gets my approval - for whatever that is worth.

@djchameleon: They won't break me.

the intro thread is 10/10

I don't like you. You're a bit of a cunt.
