    :) as much as I don't want to turn this into some congratulatory back-slapping situation, I would probably say you, mainly because we seem to have very similar tastes and I'd like to think I'm not listening to crap everyday :p

    although I must say your Decemberists comment was WAY out of line....and that one about all my fav bands added up not being able to match the intensity of Neurosis stung a little too ;)

    Well, Todd and I understand that not everyone has wonderful taste like we do. :)

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

    "Blame God, he blew breath in my lungs."

    Too many quotables. It's too bad he fell off lyrically after he married Kelis.

    Sorry, mate... won't take that comment back. The Decembrists bored the shit out of me.

    You must have seen them on an off night, because their live show was amazing. They covered The Band! It was sexy. And the band had so much energy.

    In my opinion, if you don't like The Crane Wife, you don't like music. I'm just sayin'.

    Energy? HA!!! You need to get out more.

    If Sevendust ever does a Canadian tour and plays in London, you should go and see what a REAL energetic show looks like.

    Now if I were to make a post like this, half the board would jump all over me for it. From the Decembrists songs I heard, their music is the soundtrack to a coma.

    Is anyone else amazed this thread has gone on for 6 pages. What's worse is I read them all.

    I don't care for their music. I wouldn't spend money to see them, so unless you are taking me... it's not ever going to happen.

    Is it the tempo of music that makes for an energetic show? Or are you talking about audience interaction and some entertaining dancing? Because, I can't see Sevendust being very interactive.

    I like being jumped on. Different strokes for different folks, I suppose.

    It's the entire package: stage presence, interaction with the crowd, atmosphere (the pits are intense), consistency... While Sevendust isn't the most talented band in the world, their concerts are lively. I see them every time they come around my area.

    The Decembrists concert was a snoozefest. If I wanted to sit through a bunch of dull tunes for a couple hours, I'd stand in an elevator.
    I like being jumped on.

    So do I... but only when it's done by a group of sexy young ladies, not by a group of condescending elitists on the Pearl Jam forum.

    You assume that I am not a sexy young lady...

    I don't do mosh pits. I am 5'2. And, I would get killed.

    I think you need to give them a second chance. Everyone deserves a second chance.

    "Tek Money" doesn't sound like a moniker that a sexy young lady would use.

    Fair enough. You can watch the drunken knuckleheads like myself go at it from a distance... which to me is more entertaining than clapping along to a folksy song.

    As soon as you give a metal concert a first chance. It doesn't have to be any band in particular.

    Things aren't always what they seem.

    I have seen NIN and Tool a few times each. Does that count as metal? I was also in the mosh pit at Woodstock 99. It almost killed me. I'm not totally oblivious to harder music.

    The only thing about this thread that's redeeming is the creator hasn't listed any of these bands as his favorites:

    The Shins
    Of Montreal
    Panda Bear
    Neutral Milk Hotel
    Arctic Monkeys
    Bright Eyes

    And another question. Aren't all music elitist suppose to LOVE Pavement's Slanted and Enchanted? Because if you don't like that album, your musical taste is crap. Or so says every leading publication in the last 17 years. Personally, I think all people high on their musical taste is just jaded they can't be Rob Sheffield.
    You are just a negative mindless pud.

    On this board, maybe. But if you were to list those bands as "metal" elsewhere, you'd get laughed off the Internet!

    Did you get to see Metallica, Megadeth, Rage, Sevendust or Godsmack?

    Actually, Arctic Monkeys is somewhat tolerable.

    I like your taste in music as well. Can be a little out there at times, but that's what makes it good. :D
