Music on both sides

I apologize if this question has been raised before, but a quick search did not pull anything up for "music", so I just assumed that meant it had not.I was wondering what types of music everyone listened to? Have there been any serious studies (not biased studies aimed simply at disproving or tainting the name of one or the other) into what music people of different religious affiliations listen to? Is there any correlation? I somewhat doubt a relation could be shown with an honest survey, but I could very well be wrong.It would be interesting (to me, anyways) if some of you would be so kind as to reply stating your stance (with religion or just the creation/evolution battle) and your favorite genre and band. Just a thought.Myself:
Agnostic/Evolution
Alternative Rock/Classic Rock - Weezer/the BeatlesI have plenty of other favorites, but the thread would probably lose some of its point and get rather clunky if everyone listed every band they liked.

berberry & Born2Preach...you're both great (: .Born2Preach:

lmao B2P!!! I've been saying that for so long . I was so happy when that talentless prick lost to Evanescence for best new artist (I think that was it, anyways).berberry:

I'm more into alt-rock and good classic rock. I like some pop and some of the happier rap music (I hate the so-called gangsta style, but I do like some of the Roots, the Black-Eyed Peas and Outkast / Big Boi).

---

*nod* on all accounts. I think my taste in music is almost exactly the same as yours. I love every band/artist on your list (:. Err...wait...I have no idea who/what "Little Feat" is, but aside from that .

I'm glad you brought this subject up, Glordag.

It's easy to find people who like Hendrix, Zeppelin, Floyd, etc. but I was wondering if there might be anyone else out there who likes this kind of stuff?

Sadly, I have not been exposed to enough music to know much of anything you are mentioning aside from the more popular music. I'm very interested, though, so I will definitely look into it (:. I've been spending the last couple of years trying to expand my musical horizens, so if you have any other good bands that aren't as well known, please don't hesitate to list them.I hope your week gets better. Don't work yourself too hard...all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, and we all know what happens next! This message has been edited by Glordag, 06-22-2004 12:10 AM

look at that! someone else who's heard their stuff from before they got bad. that entire album is just amazing, it's a pity the major label one was nowhere near as good.

Well, I still enjoy and admire Fallen, but I agree that it isn't nearly as good as Origins. I wonder how their new cd will turn out. The guitarist from Limp Bizkit is supposed to be working with them, so it should be interesting.Regarding the country music/hip-hop issue that has been brought up a few times:For the most part, I think the majority of these bands/artists have less talent and put less effort and meaning into their music than other genres, but I can still enjoy a lot of it. The only two country bands that I really respect (though I admit there are many bands I haven't heard yet) are Rascal Flatts and Alabama, but I can stand some others. Here's a quick list of country/rap/hip-hop bands that I like:Country:
Rascal Flatts
Diamond Rio
Lonestar
AlabamaRap/Hip-Hop
The Roots
N.E.R.D.
Outkast
2Pac
Kanye West
Twysta
Goodie Mob
Black Eyed Peas
Wyclef JeanI probably missed some, but oh well. Before I moved to Tallahassee for college, I just wrote off all country and rap as HORRIBLE. Since I've been here, it's been really hard to avoid. Being around it so much has opened my eyes/ears to a side of the genres I enjoy. I guess each genre has merit, when you get down to it. There is DEFINITELY still a lot of music from each genre that I hate though...WAYYYY too much poppy, meaningless "I want to be a ladies' man cowboy" country, and WAYYYY too much "I'm hard, I'm a gangsta" rap/hip hop. It's when you get down to those artists that try to put meaning and technical elements into their songs that you find some quality.Just my two cents, feel free to comment.P.S.
B2P: I wouldn't say only "stupid people" listen to rap/hip-hop/whatever else you listed. That's a pretty bad generalization, IMO. There is DEFINITELY a cultural association though, and not just with race. I, myself, don't like a lot of the influence the rap/hip-hop (please note I'm not saying black here, as that's NOT what I'm trying to imply) culture is having on the US. I mean, I know I'm only 19, but it seems like the culture in our country is going to hell. Just from what I gather about the 50's...comparing that to today...wow. Seems like people just behaved better in general, things were less complex, and life had more quality. If anyone wants to debate/discuss this, we should probably start a new thread or something, but now I'm off topic, so I'll stop this post .

they used to have a very capable producer -- ben moody. since he's gone now, i have the feeling i won't like any of their new stuff in the slightest.

​

...

​

and i heard it was the guitarist from seether. if it's the old guitarist from bizkit, wes borland, that might perk my interest some. that man knows what he's doing. but i'm more eager to hear some more from him and danny lohner of nin.

Agreed completely on Moody, that could be tragic. I believe he actually worked with Avril Lavigne on her new album, though I've yet to even attempt to listen to it. And I heard it was Wes Borland working with Ev, though I supposed it could be a rumor. I mean, her bf is the lead singer of Seether, so perhaps you heard something based on that? Who knows, really...at any rate, I don't think we know what to expect, lol.

It sounds kind of like that music/sound from the whole "badger badger badger mushroom" thing, if anyone knows what I'm talking about. Very strange (;.

Oh, I knew that...really...lol.Sorry about that .

Right...I mean, I knew I probably had a twisted view of it all, but I was just going off of impressions, ya know? But yeah, those are all good points. Probably too much media-contamination on my part, lol. That, and a lack of thinking about what I said before I posted. Thanks for the corrections and insight.
