    I reckon you haven't been over in the AET section, then.

    Good for you. I've checked out every band that Todd76 has raved about and couldn't get into a single one of them. We are on the opposite ends of the rock spectrum and I'm pretty sure the only band we have in common is Pearl Jam. Like I said, it's nothing personal, but I find it amazing that fans of the same band (Pearl Jam) could have such different tastes.
    With regards to point one, I spend most of my time on this board over at the AET. I don't see your point. It's full of random and useless threads but not many that are designed for ego massaging.

    Secondly, I cannot believe you are actually suggesting that Pearl Jam fans should only listen to the same kinds of music. Who cares if you can't get into the bands Todd likes? In MY opinion, he has better taste in music than you. Doesn't mean he does, it's just subjective. I have more in common with his tastes. I would never presume to be so arrogant as to tell you that you shouldn't listen to the bands you do, or failing that, make patronising comments about the bands you do on the grounds that the stuff I like is somehow better. This is an "other music" board for a very good reason.

    Why because someone likes Pearl Jam should you expect them to have the same tastes as you? I'm assuming since you mainly listed metal bands and seem to have a problem with eclecticism that you don't listen to much classical music or jazz? I do. I also listen to metal. That's the beauty of music, good music is good music. Stop being such an elitist, or if you have to, save the condescension for someone who deserves it.

    You're so lucky. I never got to see them. I will be seeing A Silver Mt Zion soon though so that is some consolation, if not much :)

    Words cannot express how Lift yr skinny fists makes me feel.

    I still periodically check the GSYBE site to see if there is any news about them working on new music.....i'm not willing to give up on them yet

    - for now the side projects will have to do

    don't forget Dinosaur Jr. and Sigur Ros ;)

    (I actually don't even really like Pearl Jam all that much anymore.....thats why i spend my time in "Other" music - and the people who hang out on the Porch kinda scare me)

    I stand corrected. :D Sigur Ros is an enigma for me because they, as you know, are far from being considered "heavy" ...nevertheless, they are very powerful, though in a different way. Their atmospheric music is conducive to meditation, much like classical music or instrumental jazz.

    I was wondering where all the people who pour my coffee was at. It should have occurred to me to look here first. Oh, and Rob Gordon, you have horrible, just terrible music taste.
    You are just a negative mindless pud.

    Before this post, I would have to say Todd is the one with the best taste in music. But, now that I am here, I would have to take his crown for myself. :)

    Obviously, not everyone on this BBS will have identical tastes. That can also be said about fans on any other band's message board. I never once suggested that PJ fans should listen to the same bands/sub-genres. Furthermore, I never told Todd76 that he should be listening to heavier bands. In my original post, I stated, "And for the record, if Todd77 likes a band, chances are I don't. No offence, dude." I stand by that statement. It wasn't meant to be insulting or condescending... the point of that remark was to show how two fans of Pearl Jam (at one time or another) can be on opposite ends of the rock music spectrum. Period.

    You're on Old Man.

    Actually, Todd has introduced me to some amazing music. You all could learn a few things from his tastes.

    this thread reminds me of one from a long time ago on A Moving Train where people were naming the books on their bookshelf.

    Alright, fair enough. it just seemed like you were baiting people from the outset which seemed a tad arrogant. Nevermind.

    anyway, I don't know about best music taste but I think I listen to an interesting range that might seem odd if you don't expect PJ fans to listen to certain stuff. Here's my list of the most important albums in my musical awakening.

    That sounds like fun. But, it doesn't seem to go anywhere.

    Oh, wait. I see what you did there.

    I know where you're coming from.....and i'm totally not offended - just a little surprised that out of all the people on the board you singled me out.

    The "smiley" emoticon was placed at the end of my original message for a reason. It seems Todd took the original remark better than you and a few others did.

    And since you have Illmatic in your top-five, your tastes can't be too bad. :D Some of the quotables on that album put even the most acclaimed songwriters like Dylan to shame. I know I've probably opened a new can of worms with that comment, but I don't care. Nas is a lyrical genius.

    for the record....the correct answer to the question on which this thread is based is:

    todd76, Tek Money, Jeremy1012, Matt Lukin, Sawyer, Direwolf74 :)

    Illmatic is the greatest lyrical achievement since BIABH-era Dylan, for sure. Half man, half amazing indeed.

    ...only because I couldn't find a common link between you and I until you brought up Dinosaur Jr. and Sigur Ros on this thread. I do check out a lot of bands that people mention here and on other forums and, to my surprise, not a single one of the bands that you mentioned appealed to me. Nothing personal... they just didn't do anything for me.
