Do you like either ordinary metal or progressive rock, then? Legolas Send a noteboard - 21/11/2010 02:40:31 AM
My taste is all over the place as well. I have liked what I have heard of Queensryche but when I go music shopping I never see their cds and I forget about them until somebody mentions them again. "Best I Can" is up my alley. "Silent Lucidity" not so much.

Ah, well. I love Silent Lucidity. But my knowledge of Queensrÿche songs is just as limited as that of Dream Theater songs: i.e. limited to the greatest hits CD.
I like their lyrics, or at least the ones I have heard. They seem to put a lot of thought into what they are saying.

Yeah, I've seen them described as "the thinking person's metal", and they do often have more depth than many metal songs. They're still not exactly Dylan, but within the genre they're pretty good lyrics-wise.
The "Best of" album sounds like a good way to go. I will have to see if they have it at our local Barnes and Nobel. Thanks for the tip.

I should add that it's actually called "Greatest Hit (...and 21 other pretty cool songs)". I guess they thought "Greatest Hits" or "Best Of" was too cliché.

Music: Have you ever heard a song for the first time years after it came out? Tashmere - 20/11/2010 10:54:42 PM 1073 Views
No, but I am always pretty up to date with music ironclad - 20/11/2010 11:48:40 PM 945 Views

I agree about S&M, they don't have those pompous female voices *NM* ironclad - 22/11/2010 11:16:17 AM 516 Views
My heart was broke when I found out that Michael Kamen died. I would love have seen what else he Tashmere - 22/11/2010 11:04:20 PM 882 Views
Then you should definitely check out Queensrÿche. I'm pretty sure he did a bit of work... Vodalus - 25/11/2010 10:16:02 PM 951 Views
I totally missed this answer before! Thank you for answering. I will check it out! *NM* Tashmere - 30/11/2010 12:02:10 AM 509 Views
Okay, I got their Metropolis Pt. 2 along with Queensrÿche's "Mindcrime at the Moore". Legolas - 22/11/2010 11:42:57 PM 899 Views
Excellent, have fun! ironclad - 23/11/2010 12:29:43 PM 975 Views
It just seemed like this was the more likely board to appreciate this discussion. Tashmere - 24/11/2010 12:47:52 AM 912 Views
Mindcrime is pretty awesome, haven't gotten around to the other one yet. Legolas - 25/11/2010 10:24:32 PM 935 Views
Oh yeah. All the time. Bought Dream Theater's Best Of earlier this year, in fact. Legolas - 21/11/2010 12:07:11 AM 1007 Views
Apparently I do like that genre even though I just found out it was called progressive metal. Tashmere - 21/11/2010 02:08:27 AM 1009 Views

Looks like there is a lot in that link to keep me busy investigating. Tashmere - 22/11/2010 01:20:21 AM 1093 Views
Not me, I've never heard of them. *NM* Legolas - 22/11/2010 10:17:47 AM 483 Views
Me neither. *NM* ironclad - 22/11/2010 11:17:38 AM 535 Views
I guess that's a no, then. Legolas - 21/11/2010 01:52:11 PM 880 Views
Hardly! Just because I didn't know what the current name was for it doesn't mean I don't like it Tashmere - 21/11/2010 04:00:41 PM 1017 Views
P.S. I was listening to that stuff before you were born. We just didn't have fancy words for it. *NM* Tashmere - 22/11/2010 01:21:55 AM 551 Views
Well, it's not as if those terms are recent inventions. Legolas - 22/11/2010 10:15:41 AM 1058 Views
That is incredibly sad. Tashmere - 22/11/2010 10:18:30 PM 956 Views

You are just a busy woman with plenty of other things to explore or to keep you busy. *NM* Tashmere - 22/11/2010 01:30:08 AM 523 Views

I am always being suprised by how much is out there that I have never heard of. Tashmere - 22/11/2010 01:14:50 AM 922 Views

That was fun. What an odd little group. Do you have any other songs of theirs you really like? Tashmere - 22/11/2010 10:25:39 PM 932 Views
Fantastic band, especially live. One of the finest records of 2009. ironclad - 22/11/2010 10:42:47 PM 1033 Views
I am good with the acoustic version. It seems to fit the song. Sometimes the acoustic version is the Tashmere - 22/11/2010 11:02:25 PM 1083 Views
