    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

The List of Approved Music

I wonder how many of the people who hate HSM have actually seen it. I mean, it's no more cheesy and predictable than any of the animated Disney movies we grew up with. Sure, the excessive merchandise is annoying, but that doesn't mean people should burn in hell for liking it.

Oh, Ryan~

You've just made it apparent you have no idea what power metal is.

BFMV is soulless metalcore garbage
 
The Good That You Probably Think Isn't That Good:

Ludwig van Beethoven - "Eroica" was my favorite song for a while.. WHAT THE MAYOR McCHEESE IS WRONG WITH ME?

Ennio Morricone - Again, what's wrong with me?

E.L.O - See last two.

Devo - See last three.

The Good Yet Almost Generic Due to Popularity:

Led Zepplin

Lynyrd Skynyrd

The Beatles

Pink Floyd

Deep Purple

The Ones I Don't Care For:

The Rolling Stones

Lemon Demon - I used to like it, but I've had someone show me the Ultimate Showdown one (dozen) too many times.

Most country music. It's not THE WORST THING EVAR, but I believe it causes brainrot if you listen to it for too long, so it's borderline bad.

The Ones I Really Dislike:

Green Day - Yep. I said it. I really don't like Green Day.

90s-Present era Pop Music

The Ones That Make Me Die a Little Bit:

Celine Dion - If you like the Titanic theme, please don't ever tell me that you do. It'd be a permanent stain on my mental image of you.

Randy Newman - The only thing worse than Celine Dion.

Rap - Not all of it is bad, though. Some rap is

Unintentionally Funny:

Biggie Smalls - I crack up laughing when this guy comes on. In an attempt to sound tough, he always overdoes it to the point of it becoming a parody of generic "hardcore" rap.


If it's not listed here, it's because it's not the first thing that popped into my mind, not because I don't love it/wish it would burn in the fire of a thousand suns. I have odd tastes in music, and said tastes change over time becoming stranger and stranger.
 
Bullet isn't power metal. Dragonforce is just way too cheesy and hilariously overdone.

If you want good power metal check out:

Sonata Arctica
Kamelot
Gamma Ray
Nightwish
Blind Guardian
Iced Earth
Firewind
Angra
old Helloween is good too (Kiske/Hansen era)



etc etc
 
Good power metal is an oxymoron. :P nah each to his own really, Nightwish aren't bad I don't think. Can't stand most power metal though. Bullet For My Valentine are just terrible really. The instrumentation is boring as hell and the vocalist is probably the worst I've ever heard, not counting the faggot from Avenged Sevenfold. It's weird because I've seen pictures of them wearing Sepultura T shirts and all that so I know they're aware of decent metal, but I can't understand how so little of those influences translates to their own music.
 
to anyone who hates disney music:

go cut your fucking face to pieces you stupid fucking idiots disney music is like the best thing ever

power metal is gay

excellent music, but most of it is rather gay yes
 
I saw them live as an opening act for Arcade Fire. Pretty good show they put on, I must say (although their stuff is QUITE repetitive)
 
2007

(the whole time I was kind of MAN OH MAN I AM SO EXCITED FOR ARCADE FIRE so I wasn't really paying too much attention tbh)
 
Pink Floyd should be higher! So should Dream Theater, but I think that is a matter of opinion. Pink Floyd is just great, though.
