My friend is an enthusiastic passenger on the techno bandwagon. I remember once me, him and some of his mates went back to his flat after seeing some DJ or other at 'The Arches' famous 'Pressure' night, and on perusal of his ipod his friend went 'here Ali, you got any proper music?' wise words, save techno for the night club....

I bought an iPod mini, back when it came out - it's not so mini compared to the new ones anymore, but it still works, despite being dropped on rocks etc. a number of times.

It's filled with all kinds of different music, all of which I find good.

For those interested a few of the bands are, Alice in Chains, Tool, Deep Purple, Slayer, Megadeth, Dave Mathews Band, Nine Inch Nails, DJ Greyboy etc.

And one thing I don't understand, is how you can think MP3's sound bad, whats that about? That's just a weird statement.

My ipod makes no sense.

I have electro and dance stuff, such as Japanese Popstars, Chemical Brothers, Crystal Castles, HeartsRevolution and Deadmau5.

Then there is "cool" stuff like David Bowie and Depeche Mode. Bit of Hendrix.

Then there is heavy metal, such as (early) Deftones and NIN, and rock/metal such as Audioslave, SoundGarden, RatM, Faith No More and Foofighters.

And some pop stuff, such as Lily Allen and Sugababes.

Plus some Tchaikovsky and Holst.

Plus War of the Worlds.

Some 80s - Madness and Dexy's Midnight Runners.

And some

Bah, I can out-trendy you all. I don't have an MP3 player. Because nothing is more trendy than retro, and I'm so retro I've back to before there was recorded music.

Well, except I have got one, that I bought for my travels around the world, that I left it in my desk drawer when I got back and forgot about until I saw this thread. I don't wear it when I walk the dog and don't really spend any other time doing anything that'd let me use it.

My CD collection looks a lot like Goliath's and Fafnir's.




“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

Inside your mind, corrupting the pathways

I have an old 6gig iPod mini (which apparently was only made for about 30 seconds ) that I got for my 19th birthday (many moons ago ).

Since it is only 6gigs, I have to rotate my music through every so often when it starts to get boring.

The stuff I usually keep on there are:

Alice Cooper - entire discography (more or less)
Queen - most of their stuff
AC/DC - Thunderstruck (and other assorted tracks)

At the moment I have artists A through to L on there. So I have:

AC/DC
Alice Cooper
Cruxshadows
David Bowie
Europe
Foo Fighters
Guns N Roses
Halo soundtrack
Iron Maiden
Led Zepplin
Lynyrd Skynyrd

Other featured artists include:
OPM (couple of songs)
Power Puff Girls (don't ask)
Queen (a few songs)
Rainbow (most of their stuff)
The Urge (couple of songs)
The Who (entire discography pretty much)
Thin Lizzy (discography)
Uninvited guest (an album)
Within Temptation (few songs)
ZZ Top (many songs)

I wouldn't write Coldplay off right away. "A Rush of Blood to the Head" was a great album. Sure, everything after that is pretty mediocre at best (except for "Death and all his Friends, which is nothing short of amazing, although that's probably because of Brain Eno's influence).

I enjoyed 'Parachutes' a great deal when it came out. Very nicely produced, and has some good tunes on it. I saw them play live around that time, right before they got massive and started doing enormo-dome tours. They were really good.

I have to agree with Ahtman - there's nothing wrong with enjoying pop music. It certainly doesn't make a person more discerning if they dismiss it out-of-hand.

Obscurantists are spankers, quite frankly.
