got a question
 

hey guys first time postin here and i got a quick ?. im actually a hiphop/rap listener but ive also gotten into the punk/metal/rock music. i was wondering if u guys could tell me what im acctually listening to and if theyre anygood and if you have any other recommendation itd be awsome

my list is:

senses fail, story of the year, the used, thursday, alexisonfire, jimmy eat world, breaking benjamin, avenged sevenfold, 3 doors down, billy talent, coheed and cambria, element eighty, from autum to ashes, linkin park, mudvayne, new found glory, three doors down and switchfoot.

i know the list is long (im just scrolling down my ipod) and dont bash me if my music is crap im just curious to know what u guys think of selection

I like FATA, some Story Of The Year, alexisonfire, and the only good Senses Fail song is "Bloody Romance".

Not a fan of the rest of them but its cool your listening to all types of music. Do you like Aesop Rock, Dead Prez, Jurrasic 5? Or that gangsta stuff.

Your list has got 15 year old kid trying to look cool written all over it.

Just have a look around , you`ll soon se something you like.

Your list is nothing I'd listen to but when I look back at some of my first rock and indie bands some of them weren't that great either. I did listen to a bit of Jimmy Eat World back in the day actually. But its the fact that they get you into music thats important. Just sample as much as you can, there's so much better stuff out there. Allmusic.com is good for looking up bands you like to see what similar artists there are, they also put them into genres but don't worry too much about what genre you are listening to, that doesn't really matter. Maybe try and listen to some great stuff almost everyone agrees is good, for example The Velvet Underground, Led Zepplin, Nirvana, Joy Division - its likely you'll see something there you like, and you'll soon find more bands who are influenced by them and therefore have a similar style to what you like.

4 once just listen to him youll find something.

^yeah i gotta agree with urban hatemonger on that one

im not 15.and im not trying to look cool.

i just wanted to know what exact genre of music i listen to so i can find other bands in it.

^then why are you posting it in the punk forum?

I never said you were , you said what do people think about the list of bands you gave.That`s the impression I get when people list those sorts of bands.

i think you should try listening to MUSE, they are pretty cool.
