On Queen's album Night at the Opera (which is one of the albums that I recommend everyone have, it's that damn good and it really shows off the group's musical versatility), there was always a song that I never "got"called '39. After being trapped on TV Tropes for 4 hours, I came across a blurb that explained it: It's a folk song about space travel. Which makes the lyrics make perfect sense.
After some more research, it seems there's a whole genre of music with similar themes called Filk that I didn't even know about until today. I might explore it a bit to see if there's anything I like.

In this moment, I am Ur-phoric. Not because of any phony god’s blessing. But because, I am enlightened by my int score.

I'm listening to something only a dozen or so steps away from what a normal person might have in their music library.

I find that Metal Dance is very fun, and the ones for Quick Man + Air Man almost as much so, but those tend to get really melodramatic around halfway through.
----------
Also kind of interesting contrasting that music with this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTwuUFOz ... u_in_order
Once I ignore the gratuitous misogynistic segment, pretty amusing, particularly Air and Heat. Distinctly different takes on the characters.

If you like that, look up The Protomen. They're fucking awesome. Act I is a retelling of Megaman 1 and is rock and 80s-style synth (fairly raw). Act II is a prequel to (and is more polished) it and is a mix of old-school rock and roll and some synth near the end.
tl;dr it's a rock opera about Megaman in a dark version of the 'verse. There are even some radio stations who have played their music.
Act I:
"The Will of One", one of my fave songs from it
"Vengeance", another good one.
Act II:
"The Good Doctor"
"Keep Quiet"

I managed to see them on the trip to Toronto in May. It was amazing, even if the douchenozzles up from were BLOCKING THE ENTIRE FUCKING VIEW. First row is standing, then next row STANDS ON CHAIRS! ARGH!

Are we talking about the same guy that basically offed himself because Joan and Bobby were mean to him?User3 wrote:PhoneLobster at [unixtime wrote:1110367048[/unixtime]]Dude, Phil Ochs, wow it never ceases to amaze me that anyone anywhere in this day and age has even heard of him.
He released all of five albums (which makes it easy to have all of his stuff) and to the best of my knowledge never managed to sell out a live performance.

Dunno the particulars, but Phil Ochs did commit suicide and was around when Baez and Dylan were making folk music a big deal on the charts, so probably.
"But transportation issues are social-justice issues. The toll of bad transit policies and worse infrastructure—trains and buses that don’t run well and badly serve low-income neighborhoods, vehicular traffic that pollutes the environment and endangers the lives of cyclists and pedestrians—is borne disproportionately by black and brown communities."
I rather enjoyed Professor Elemental's Fighting Trousers. Victorian Gentleman Hip Hop.

So I stopped listening to Linkin Park a while back because their music sounded all the same to me, but over Christmas, I heard their latest album on my sister's iPod, and I really like it. It's like they went out and got music lessons. I can still pick it out as Linkin Park, but it's very different.
My favorite track is the fifth, When They Come For Me.

I've been really impressed with the Symphony of Science songs, basically quotes from popular scientists autotuned and set to music. But several times more awesome than that makes it sound

Have I mentioned that Queens of the Stone Age rocks my world? Lullabies to Paralyze is probably their best album, but pretty much everything they (well, Josh) have done is great. You've got to respect a guy with that good of a falsetto. And such amazing moaning ability. They've even got some good live sets like Eurokeennes and Hove.

Too bad about Them Crooked Vultures, though.

I read the article; it doesn't actual apply to Mumford and Sons at all. They're British and sing folk, rock, and...pop? And approximately one of their songs, a relatively hard countryish piece, is even tangentially related to a disadvantaged group. They don't wear cultural or period costumes.JigokuBosatsu wrote:Yeah, I can't stand that crap, sorry.

Meh, I've found that I like some music and I dislike some music. Except for Country (don't know why), my tastes seem to transcend genre boundaries. Hell, I like Justin Timberlake. I know the world might consider that a sin but he can push a decent lyric when combining it to Timbaland's beats.
