Other than Weird Al? It's terribly predictable. It's adaptation into Ska music is the only good thing to come of it, IMO.
Don't get me started on ska - I could give you a three-page dissertation.

Yes, it's predictable. I don't necessarily appreciate it for its complexity of composition. But, I've learned not to be a snob for such things, and with the appropriate amount of Poles and beer it sure can be fun.

Really? I've never met any fellow Polacks who like Tejano that much. :P

I thought the substitution of "pole" with "hispanic" would be self-apparent. :lol:

My music is soundtracks, and mainly Star Trek ones. :lol:

In fact I think the most beautiful Trek music has got to be First Contact IMO.
But I must say that Picard's Flute Solo in an orchestral arrangement is a beautiful piece of music.
Inner Light?
Yeah, I snagged a MP3 version of it with an orchestra supporting the flute playing. Like I said it's a beautiful piece.

Recently i discovered Tomas luis de Victoria. Highly recommendable for people who like choirs. Also highly recommendable for the rest who don't like choirs as much.

Got a big range, but I like a lot of stuff from the 80's.

Favorite band of all time was, is and forever shall be Huey Lewis and the News.

Soilwork

Sonic Syndicate


Metal = awesome

the rest = weak and girly ;-) lol

Soundgarden is one of the best groups ever, musically, and content-wise; for those of you who haven't heard Chris Cornell and co. here's a few great songs.

From Badmotorfinger:

Rusty Cage, which is pretty much my theme song. :)

New Damage

Jesus Christ Pose (w interview), and for the musically inclined here, here's a guy playing it on drums to give an idea just how complex it really is.

From Superunknown, arguably one of the best rock albums ever made (though I like Badmotorfinger better):

Fell on Black Days

4th of July (fan video w original track)

And, from Down On The Upside, their last album:

Pretty Noose

Burden In My Hand

Take the time to listen; it's totally worth it.

"Full on Kevin's Mom" has always been my favorite. I didn't always like Soundgarden - but if you actually take the time to listen critically, Kim Thayil is a genius. He's not the best technical guitarist out there; but his understanding and application of theory and experiment is incredible. He uses a lot of uncommon, even unique, dropped or open tunings, which completely alter the effect of a song.

Indeed. Matt Cameron is also one hell of a drummer, in terms of timing.

Meshuggah's Combustion; one of the most complex and cool songs I've ever heard. :D

Country, jazz, soul, bluegrass, salms, rock and a very small amount of rap/R&B.
