[Alchemist ninja]

I am beggining to open up to a lot of different music so i wanted to know some good rock songs that i can put into my I pod. If anyone knows some just say the name of the song and the band that plays it.

[chaosakita]

I think you should try out Kana, Kitade Nana, Nightmare, and OLIVIA.

[Enma Ai]

Violent Work Of Art - Wars to win and wars to lose.

[Alchemist ninja]

Lol just so you know I'm from America.

[Sub-Zero]

One- Metallica

[chaosakita]

Lol just so you know I'm from America.

So what? What does your country of origin have to do with music?

Btw, Olivia actually is American.

Oh yeah, I forgot L'arc~en~Ciel, UVERworld, and Asian Kung-fu Generation.

[Sayo]

Drowning pool - Step up
Soil - Breaking me down
System of a Down - Aerials
Tool - Jambi
Guano Apes - Open your eyes


Provided a variety of rock but it's some you may want to try out if you have no clue where to beginn.
Ofcourse there also the populair bands like mettalica etc.

Would be obvious to start a bit closer to home than J-rock i believe...

[Audrey]

David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
Judas Priest - Ram It Down
Muse - Stockholm Syndrome
Jeff Buckley - Last Goodbye
Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun

If you like those, look up other songs by the same artists.

[Lord Yu]

Behold...The Arctopus - Of Cursed Womb
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - Sleep is Wrong
Boris - Pink
Desert Sessions - Don't Drink Poison
Jesu - Weightless & Horizontal
Jethro Tull - Aqualung
Taal - The Purple Queen's Lips
Taal - Egg-shaped Moon
Idiot Flesh - Dead Like Us

You should understand maybe three at most of my lists.:hehee But it's all good music I swears.

[CalRahhh]

The Smashing Pumpkins - Cherub Rock
Guns 'N Roses - Welcome To The Jungle
Led Zeppelin - Good Times Bad Times
Killing Joke - The Death & Resurrection Show
Mastodon - Blood And Thunder
Pantera - Mouth For War
Rob Zombie - Superbeast
Rage Against The Machine - Wake Up

Theres a bit of variety there. I stayed away from more extreme forms because you're only just getting into it.

[chaosakita]

What, you can understand the lyrics by yourself and are forced to read translations, so what? Music is music.

Besides, J-rock was actually the first rock I listened to.

I have to disagree, On the side that J-rock has a TOTALL other image than normal rock i can't say it's everyone's cup of tea.
If your into that it's fine but for someone like him i'd start with the above mentioned bands to get an overall better picture of the genre..

[Audrey]

J-rock is very different from American and European rock music in terms of musical structure.

[Purgatory]

What type of rock are you looking for? Punk? Heavy (AKA Metal)? Classic? Prog?

[Audrey]

He probably wants stuff that is easy to get into. I could have picked some weird stuff, but the things in my post are all easy for most people to enjoy.

I don't really listen to stuff just because of a band's image, so it doesn't matter for me. Anyways, I never said he should ONLY listen to that stuff.

J-rock is very different from American and European rock music in terms of musical structure.

That's really interesting. Could you explain this to me?

Oh yeah... I forgot Rage Against the Machine, if you want American stuff.

And there's still OLIVIA.

[Bonten]

Black Sabbath - Sabbra Cadabra
The Cult - Wildflower
Down - Rehab
Incubus - Psychopsilocybin
Jimi Hendrix - 1983 ... (A Merman I Should Turn To Be)
Led Zeppelin - Since I've Been Loving You

[Chidoriblade]

Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy
The Who -Pinball Wizard
Sum 41 - No Reason
Linkin Park - Bleed it Out
Three Days Grace - I Hate Everything About You

Try some Metalica, Tool and some Dragonforce if you like 80's sounding rock.

[Audrey]

Tool doesn't sound like 80's music, and neither does DragonForce.

[Alchemist ninja]

Thanks guys. Its going to take a while to go and hear all the songs on youtube but im getting there. Blitz Im looking for any type although I really don't ;like songs that just scream. For example I hate Jack Black's songs because all he does is scream. To give you more of an idea, I like Animal I've become by three days grace, Headstrong by trapt, and Diary of Jane by breaking benjamin. In other words I don't like heavy metal.

Chaosakita, origin has a lot to do with music. In songs I pay attention a lot to the lyrics so if I hear a japaneese version of a metallica song it will be less enjoyable than the english one. I don't really care from what time the song is from as long as I can understand it and it is good.

The reason why I made this thread wasn't because I'm new to rock but because I only listen to the most popular bands and I want to open up to other bands that are less popular.

[Lord Yu]

Then you might not like Boris or Behold...The Arctopus

The first one is in Japanese and the other one is instrumental.

[akuma_de_soro]

ACDC - Highway to Hell (Golden Oldie) :P
Skillet - Open Wounds
White Stripes - Seven Nation Army
Silverchair - Freak
Seether - Remedy
Queens of the Stone Age - Sick Sick Sick
Nine Inch Nails - Perfect Drug (this one is a bit... strange. Not really rock. But maybe you'll like it.)
The Distillers - Drain the Blood
The Distillers - The Hunger
Cranberries - Zombie
Taking Back Sunday - Liar
Sum 41 - Speak of the Devil
Sum 41 - Walking Disaster
Sum 41 - Hyper-Insomnia
Sum 41 - Angels with dirty faces (sorry, I'm a Sum 41-fan..:nod)
Stereophonics - It means nothing
Rolling Stones - Sympathy for the Devil
Korn - Coming Undone
Korn - Twisted Transistor

I'm not sure everything is Rock, though. Depends on what you think for yourself.

[Alchemist ninja]

Cool thanks guys. One song I really like that I got introduced to a little while ago is never too late by three days grace. Any one else like this song?

[akuma_de_soro]

Yeah, it's a good song. I like Three Days Grace, so... You already got I hate everything about you from someone else, right?

[Alchemist ninja]

Ya I did. Remember I know a lot of the really popular bands like linkin park, metallica, three days grace, breaking benjamin, etc. I was just looking for more bands that aren't as well known but still good.

Most of the more popular artists' songs have been translated, especially the anime ones.

[Chidoriblade]

Oh I just ment DragonForce sounds like 80's rock. It varries per person.

[Audrey]

Whether or not music sounds like other music doesn't vary from person to person. That would require the songs to actually be different depending on who you are.

Maybe it reminds you of 80's music, but it doesn't really sound like music from the 80's.

Thats the thing I like about rock. It has a lot of history. Rap and hip hop only go so far as Tupac. Rock has a long history meaning more music. In addition to that, each decade's rock is a different style. I haven't really realized it until a week or so ago when I began to be introduced to all type of rock and not just linking park or breaking benjamin.

[Audrey]

Tupac didn't invent rap or hip-hop music. What are you talking about? It was around for a long time before he ever recorded anything.

This post is riddled with so much fail it goes far beyond anything I have seen in a while.

Rap and Hip-hop not only do not "only go as far as Tupac" they have a rich and varied parentage with a world of different styles and eras available for someone with an open mind to get into.

Rock goes back at its earliest like...50 years or so. Yeah, well, rap goes back like...25 is it?

Well so what? Country has been around for at the very least 75 years, and Jazz 100...does that mean they are better? Should you now derisively brush off rock as really only being Buddy Holly and maybe a little Elvis, and then expound on the age of Jazz instead?

Even if time of existence is a relevant factor, in the scale of human music, they are but seeds in the evolution of the sound of our souls expressions. No one form of musical expression is innately better than another, regardless of the despairing cries of thousands of Elitist Naysayers. Each and every type of music created is meant to express things that are intangible and somehow by the use of vibrations in the air and spaces of silence we express it.

Your dismissive brush-off of rap and hip-hop is a pretty good indication of ignorance of the genre. If you wish to prove otherwise, all you need to do is ask, and the denizens of this here forum will gladly provide you with hip-hop that will blow your mind.

Also, not to be overly picky, but it is Linkin Park, not Linking Park...remember horribly mangling the english language is the modern pop-scenes gift to the world....


As to the thread itself, I am a big fan of many rock bands.

Still obsessed with Pink Floyd.

Seriously digging me some Blues Traveller, the blues-rock fusion gets me shaking and bumping.

Also, the Almighty Ween is inundating my eardrums...

I never said that rock is better than hip hop. I just said what I like about rock that hip hop doesn't have. Also I know that hip hop didn't start on Tupac but in my opinion that is when it got as popular as it is today. You are welcome to say otherwise. Finally I am sorry for the typo but I make a lot of those considering I type so fast.

[Spiral Man]

The 69 Eyes
System of a Down
HIM

[TWF]

Onesidezero - A Point in Time, Instead Laugh & Holding Cell.

Dave Matthews Band - Two Step.

This is an extremely dismissive thing to say. Have you even bothered to learn about the history rap and hip-hop?

[Alchemist ninja]

Nope and so I'm sorry for saying that without having proper information. I don't know much about rap and hip hop but I just never really heard any rap or hip hop before Tupac. My mistake.

[Freiza]

Green Day...*shrugs*

[Dr. Boskov Krevorkian]

Behold...The Arctopus - Of Cursed Womb

Yeah, Idiot Flesh and SGM are totally the best openers for a newbie to rock. :hehee

Popularity first of all, is not an indicator of quality.

Secondly, I was commenting on the back-handed and inorant way you brushed off hip-hop as beginning and ending with one mans music, one man who is FAR from the best that the genre has to offer anyways.

I was making a point about the variety and depth of the genre, not to be derisive, but because Hip-hop is so full of so many different styles and fusions, that it is easilly equal to rock in its ubiquitousness, especially now that it has permeated Western (and otherwise) cultures so well.

As to the typo, it takes no time to stop, and quickly rescan a post, this is not like a Messenger system where hitting enter precludes any opportunity to edit.

Nope and so I'm sorry for saying that without having proper information. I don't know much about rap and hip hop but I just never really heard any rap or hip hop before Tupac. My mistake.

That is appreciable, not knowing is one thing, but be aware, that especially in this forum, uninformed posts about any genre of music will get you lambasted by the rabid music-geeks that lurk in here like hungry predators.

You could do far worse than to ask for an exposure to hip-hops good stuff, as well as Rock, metal, country, jazz and otherwise...
