Buck:
The White Stripes have released four albums so far, of those I highly recommend their first one (self-titled) and the most recent one, Elephant. Both brilliant in very different ways.

As for rock'n'roll in general, there is only one answer: The Beatles. The Beatles, The Beatles, The Beatles!
Oh, and also George Harrison solo albums. Some of the best rock & roll ever, I'd wager.
And also Dylan."I wrote a song about dental floss but did anyone's teeth get cleaner?" -Frank Zappa

And Zappa!
How could I forget the Zappa? No other man could possibly produce THAT MUCH music, and have it attain an average quality that was impressively above par."I wrote a song about dental floss but did anyone's teeth get cleaner?" -Frank Zappa

I'll have to give that linkin park another listen. The song they are playing on the radio I don't like that much. But I do like several songs from their first album.
I'm going to check out the stripes on kazaa. I need to listen to a few new bands. I'm starting to turn into an old geezer who doesn't like new rock. New bands I like a lot are Tool and System of a Down. Linkin park is cool. And I like godsmack as well. Creed is halfway decent. They will never top their first album though.

Metal is wimp rock. Have you ever seen a metal fan that didn't have a day job as a bespectacled computer nerd?
cinch: Very embarassingly I lost my copy of De Stijl somewhere in my room the day after I bought it. After being reminded of it by this thread I've spent several minutes on trying to find it (for like the tenth time), to no avail. Oh well, I'm clearing out my room completely in a couple of weeks (moving), so it'll probably turn up then.Världsstad - Dom lokala genrenas vän

Evanescence - a review I just had to share
1 star out of five
For the masses to devour
by bengotdafunk from Plano, Texas (USA)
why rate an album i would never give a second listen to anyway? because it hurt so much i'd like to give something back.
everything about this music makes me want to yank that narcissitic semi-goth-senator out of that album cover and eat her head. that obnoxious smirk--do you sense it too? gleaming at you as if she knows something you don't. as if her voyage into the doom-quarters has trekked a thousand miles further than yours. as if she KNOWS the sheer, blasting profundity of her album will blow you away into the foggy, unbearable land of traaaaaansient vaaaaaapor where only numbness and solidarity subside! ooooooooh! the sunless desert from which there is NO ESCAAAAAAAPE! where love is but a memory!
this music is worth 4 words: melodramatic, digressive, mediocre, and conformist. it are these qualities that make music such as this and say, creed, exhausting to endure.
what is the origin of a good migraine?:
1.) self-indulgent, pseudo-operatic wailing
2.) painfully cliche chord progressions
3.) laughably pretentious proclamations of despair
4.) awareness that each musician of evanescence will make a respectable load of cash off this album's single.
evanescence is linkin park, but a little less creative, led by a female power-ballad tornado instead of a young-angry-white-boy-tiger-roar of redundant furiosity.
evaneeeeescence, oooooooooh, vespers and vapors and ghosts, oooooh GHOOOOOOSTS and goblins and rainy industrial city nights! ooooooooh woe and fleeting hopes! oh this dreary life of western civilization, ooooooooooooh dark and dank and doleful and dismal and oooooooooh love is a dead corpse! just take me now, i can no longer withstand the burden of rock n' roll touring under this lonesome despair, this somber burden of the merciless gothic essence!
evanescence. this is a name a band chooses by turning off the lights and lighting candles and putting on black tape for a blue girl and flipping through the dictionary. i mean, c'mon, if they were really serious they would've at least spelled their name in true pop-form by replacing the end with a z.
here's a run of probable early name choices for the band that is now "evanescence":
pre-dictionary:
--edgar my guardian
--sylvia's oven
--creepy gaseous substance
--the incorporeal beings
--the melancholigraphers
--the alleyway urchins
dictionary-found:
--necrosis
--lachrymose
--disconsolation
--the disconsolates
--ignis fatuus
the only reason i give this album a star at all is because it is music and i'm glad that there's music.
perhaps i have way too much time on my hands.
i recommend jeff buckley's "grace" or bright eyes' "lifted..." because they possess all the qualities that "fallen" pretends to shine.
buckley drove his car into a friggin lake. this evanescence chick fell out of an imaginary skyscraper window in a digitally manipulated music video.
her dress flapped in the dewy air like a yearning vessssssssper.Periodista : A proposito del escudo de la fe, Elisa, a mà me sorprendÃa Reutemann diciendo que estaba dispuesto a enfrentarse con el mismÃsimo demonio (Menem) y después terminó bajándose de la candidatura. Ahà parece que fuera ganando el demonio.
Elisa Carrio: No, porque si usted lee bien el Génesis dice que la mujer pisará la serpiente.

But thats ok. I know I have.
To actually add content to this post though, I wouldlike to recommend Eddie's Den (or something similar) who are about to be signed up. They used to be named "Mayhem of Oz" but changed their name due to another band with a similar name already existing. They r0x0rz!
I realise that virtually none of you have heard of them, but that doesn't bother me much.I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

That's my point. Anyone who isn't a geek and doesn't wear glasses is a wimp.Blog | Civ2 Scenario League | leo.petr at gmail.com
