Bad Religiion. Has anyone heard of them? They are an underground punk rock band (please make my day and say you have, and that you love their music)? :biggrin:

Bad Religion hasn't been underground in a verrrrrrry long time. but they've got some decent tunes.

if you are looking for old underground punk you might like the Subhumans, GBH, The Exploited, and if you like it a little more melodic the original Descendents was always fun. of course, don't forget about he original Misfits, Samhain, etc.

You're correct, but to most people, underground explains why they're never heard of a band. It was nice to have someone respond about a favorite band. Thanks! :D

I haven't listened to Bad Religion in a while, but I own a couple of their CDs from the 90s, and like them.

Miles Davis - Blue
Morphine - Yes
Quicksand - Slip
Nirvana - Bleach
Bloodlet - Eclectic

Day of Suffering - Eternal Jihad

Boy Sets Fire - Tomorrow Come Today (everybody has that one band they wish they didn't like, right?)

Iceburn - Firon

Today is the Day - Supernova

Ben Lee - Catch My Disease!!

Man i LOVE LOVE LOVE this tune.. i love his other stuff but this song is the SHIZ NIT!!

I hear it on my work radio (and thats the way i like it) and i start bopping at my desk..whoi yeah!! its such a great feel good pick me up song!!

so pleeeeeeeease.. baby pleeease.. come on........ catch my disease......... :)

System of a Down - Mezmerize

Straight to number one here in OZ.

WHY!!

the ad is just

BAN BANG BANG "AHHHHHHHHHGHGHGAHHH"

insert goth head banging.

WHY!! number 1 i dont get it!! WHY WHY!! it so............... URGH!

It's a great CD. SOAD is one of the few "big" bands out there that really mixes up their music and sounds good, IMO. Plus, they still make their record label (Sony BMG) happy.

Pfft..


: Sun_Sparkz dances off into a field of pansies..."catch my disease.." :

Sun_Sparkz. tsk tsk.

Goths do not headbang. Headbangers do not write bad poetry. The only overlap between the two groups is black nail polish. Otherwise they detest each other.

And SOAD is pretty good for what they do. The music itself is cool, but the vocalist bugs me. Too Primusy or something.

I've been listening to MC Paul Barman again. He's white, jewish, and ivy leaguer, and has mad skillz.
check it:
My close pals, aunts, uncles, leaders, Nations, and towns
Hamlets and neighboring islands, everyone
Landlords, bosses, and relatives, moms and newborns
Somehow when I act thirteen, I'm a virgin girl's tractor beam
This one was dressed to kill from her head to my testicle
She was from west of Phil-ly and spoke well of it
She said, "Just for the hell of it let's not be celibate."
I got all higgledy piggledy, it's a big relief
When I take off my fig uh leaf
She said that, "Let's get at this" but her cat and an unpotted cactus
Sat on her mattress
that sure made it saturated with sharp thorns and cat piss
I put on a hiphop beat while she whipped off the topsheet
She said, "Come to bed I like my undergrads underfed
They amaze how they stay up days on mayonnaise and Wonderbread."
I dove in her cervix a lot like Sir Mixalot
This interlude is for the women I've interviewed about the clitoris
and how to make it less hit-or-miss
Should we be gentle?, Is it all mental?
I won't use a dental dam 'cause it discurges
my urges to submerge in her jizz
She said, "My goodness you should juss use clues that's nonverbal
You're too vigorous if my clitoris, for example, turns purple"
It was time to copulate but we didn't want to populate
So my bold groin reached for my gold coin proooophylactic
I unwrapped it, you can't know how I felt
It wasn't a gold coin condom, it was chocolate Chanukah gelt
The white part crumbled on her tummy and the rest began to melt
Foiled again.....

I like System of a Down. Dakota recently got me into Type O Negative. I like that Christian Woman song. I dunno why, but it just feels so naughty and dark.

Lately I have been listening to B.W. Stevenson. He only had a couple of popular songs in the 70s...and they were kind of countryish. The rest of the CD is really good, too. I think it is the best of BW Stevenson.

Badar Ali Khan - Lost in Qawwali II

Bought as part of a going out of business sale of a new age store.

Creedence Clearwater Revival
Chicago
Steppenwolf. I love me some bass.

Porcupine Tree -- Deadwing.

It's new and progressive and very tasty. Like if Genesis hadn't started singing top 40 love songs.

Muse - Absolution

Gorillaz - Demon Days

We definitely shared zygotes at some point in the past..........."Best of Warrant" in the truck right now (bass player is a good friend of mine). Got Maiden, Yaz, Green Day, Gwennie, and of course QR on standby...........

Atmosphere - Overcast, 7even's Travels, God Loves Ugly

No Indigo Girls or Sarah McLachlan or Ani DiFranco, eh? ;)

outkast - aquemini
public enemy - it takes a nation...

Hush yo mouf

This is the CD that really got me into OutKast. I remember seeing Andre 3000 in the video for "Rosa Parks," and thinking, "WTF?" He's crazy.

Southerplayalisticcadillacmusic is what did it for me. i wasn't even listening to hiphop at the time and it made me break out all the old PE, etc. i binged for about 5 years on hiphop. the new stuff is just shite though.

I don't think that all of today's hip-hop is crap. Among my current favorites:

--Ozomatli
--Black Eyed Peas
--Dilated Peoples
--Common
--OutKast
--Mos Def
--Talib Kweli
--The Roots

i guess i should rephrase - the new artists that are coming out are shite. those are all pretty old horses by now.

That I'll give you...then again, I haven't been listening to much new music lately, particularly hip-hop.

Am I the only headbanger here?

Enslaved - Blodhemn \mmmmmmmm/

Nope. I'm straight.

i have never once in the 17 years that i've been listening to punk, metal, and hardcore referred to myself as a headbanger... so yes. yes you are. ;)

See, syc. I told you about that revelation where I understood I was totally out of the demographic?

Hmmm.

Best way to disarm one who attempts to fence is to take away his best weapon ...

See, I revealed one of those deep dark secrets that probably should have stayed dark and deep.

I went to the Lilith Faire.

Mostly voluntarily.

So sorry - bad me. No bias/slander intended. Just thought it was a widely known assumption - Lillith Faire = feminism = implied lesbianism - PLEASE forgive me for my stereotypical remark. I was at one of those points in my day where the poison darts fly out involuntarily.

AKA the dick cutter tour? that is what a group of us called it because our lovely brides all came back prepared to castrate us. strange phenomenon.

Thanks Lookout. I feel much less evil now.

I totally left you out of this conversation...no one told you that you had to open your mouth. :)

And I still have some weapons left.

System of A Down's Mesmerize.
This is just as good as Toxicity, and B.Y.O.B has meaningful lyrics, if you bother to look them up.
They scream about "Why don't presidents fight the war? why do we always send the poor?!" They mention oil, and sing that we are being "fed lies from the tablecloth". At that point, the song becomes poppy and happy and they sing "la la la, everybody's going to the party to have a real good time, dancing in the desert, blowing up the sunshine..la la la la la la la la la la."
I love their use of sarcasm, the fact that they sing about us being lied to and brainwashed, and "Cigaro" seems to be written from Bush's point of view:
"My cock is much bigger than yours" ..."We're the propagators of all genocide
Burning through the world's resources
Then we turn and hide "
The lyrics are meaningful and the music ROCKS!

Don't steal it- Buy it!!

I've been listening to Stevie Wonder mostly the past few days. The man is a genius.

I'm *trying* to listen to Bob Dylan's "Blood on the Tracks", but my cheapass RCA unencumbered-by-any-features-mp3-player's output jack is toast.

I haven't been able to figure out a way to approach the Mrs. about needing something a little better...or at least actually functional.

Oh, that's easy! Just tell Mrs. Ep that the gods have told you to buy an iPod...who are you to argue with them?

We got this one yesterday...I agree...I love it.

Unfortunately, Mrs. Ep is on her own wavelength with the Gods, and I'm afraid there are few divine arguments or recommendations that I could slide past her without her doing a bit of checking up on her own...

Bah, metalhead, headbanger, all the same. Just something so people know what I'm talking about.

Deströyer 666 - Cold Steel... for an Iron Age \mmmm/

mmm, cd's listened to at least partially today, include:

Losa
The Red Chord
Nodes of Ranvier
Warlord
Uphold
Snapcase
Misfits - Walk among us
Chasm
Boy Sets Fire
Coalesce
The Esoteric

I have not heard of a single one of those bands.

Els, what you need to do is do some major creative visualization work. The gods are funny about giving us those pesky lottery numbers, but every now and then a treat falls our way.

well, they are all metal or punk from one brand or another. but some highlights:

Coalesce, Uphold, and to a lesser extent Losa really play with alternate time signatures until your brain hurts.

actually so do The Esoteric, Warlord, and the Red Chord.

The Misfits were glenn danzigs baby when he was a teen and early twenty something in Lodi, NJ. his best band by far.

Phish- Live in Atlanta Halloween '96

Just got it last week. Suuuh-weeeet.

Van Zant
Donnie & Johnny are really good together. I can't really decide whether it's southern rock or progressive country.

A Night in Tunisia by Laika and the Cosmonauts.

Def Leppard - Hysteria

*shrugs*

I had a Ratt moment yesterday, but could only find Detonator to listen to. Still, it has a couple good songs on it. Today is Porcupine Tree again. I can't recommend those guys enough.

wu tang clan - enter the 36 chambers
method man - tical 2000
flip mode squad

--Cee-Lo
--Anthrax
--System of a Down

Elysian Fields - Black Acres

Bonnie Raitt--Bonnie Raitt
Bonnie Raitt--Give It Up
Bonnie Raitt--Tribute to Stevie Ray Vaughn
Bonnie Raitt--Home Plate
Bonnie Raitt--Luck of the Draw

Dug out some old Red Rocker today.
He was damn good in his day. Van Halen made a major tho when they replaced DLR.
IMO Sammy was way better w/out Eddie & them.
I don't like Van Hagar.
Loved Van Halen.

Saw them in their bar, Cabo Wabo in Cabo San Lucas waaaay back when. Drinking, not playin, briefly.

not to veer from the thread, but Cabo Wabo is THE ULTIMATE 'keela...........
I've got a bottle on layaway.
