Now I have loved these guys for a long time. I have a good chunk of their discography, so I'll break it down for you by album.revenge fantasies of the impotent is probably my favorite. Besides being great classic west coast newschool punk, they have an incredible horn section. This album also has the trademark talking-over-crazy-riffs type of trak on it, lisa's father, which was funny the first

The album I have is called Intelligence and Sacrifice. I know he's supposed to be a very iconic sort of guy, but somehow this just sits wrong. Maybe I'm jaded from being a big tchkung fan for so long but whenever someone makes some kind of "statement" without any humor to it I get bored pretty quickly- no matter how nice the music is.That said, this IS very hard music. It's fast, crunchy, and

This band is the kind of music I imagine my mother hearing as a soundtrack to her acid flashbacks. They shift from some kind of wild japanese thrash frenzy back to slowly tinkling river noises; they swoop out into space and make some kind of weird jazz rock; they chant and bang on stuff.If you like any kind of psychedelic music or even old 60's acid rock you'd probably find at least one track to

aside from the incredibly hard-to-spell and -pronounce name, these guys are great. Sometimes hard and fast, sometimes mellow and soft...they've got what sounds like some kind of turkish brass band mixed with a dance funk section...amazing. amazing. If you liked the hawka and a hacksaw I was talking about earlier you'll probably like these guys. Their softer stuff sounds like a good film

call-and-response african drumming group. It's pretty good background music for gardening, but by itself it is just not as lush or exciting as I like to listen to when the music is the focal point.It would be good background music for any housekeeping task, I imagine.

I belive this is actually black metal that I like, for a change. Most of the black metal I hear sounds like some fairy nonsense with a guy whining...or some kind of bad soundtrack. But this is good, because it has a very gruff cookie monster voice, and it also is juuuust heavy enough to actually be hard at times instead of flowy.It's probably not quite firmly in doom, black, or death metal genres

This band is so gorgeous. Very sparse at times: they sound almost like the kind of classical music that I make in my nightmares. They are vaguely related to godspeed you black emperor in my memory but I am not sure how. At any rate, the instrumentation is very odd. They use what sound like found sounds, strange electronic devices, as well as cello/viola and drums. Really really beautiful music,

a hawk and a hacksawThese guys were constant on my ipod til I wore them out! Accordion or concertina or something, loads of weird eastern european folk melodies re-arranged, and some fast songs. I guess they are like folk-rock technically, but they sound better than that would imply. The self-titled album has more variety than darkness at noon, but I also really like delivery room.

The A'zhyphy. It's some new kind of rap/hiphop that's being made into a genre just for tis lyrics. But all this hyphy shit also has a very raunchy sound to it too, so it is actually a genre beyond the lyrical content. I like thius band because they have less repetitive chorusses than most, and the vocal harmonies add a hell of a lot to the sound.

7 secondsIf you have never listened to these guys you probably will never understand half of my jokes about hippies. The time and place where I came of age was a very strange zone indeed. The straightedge scene was fairly new, peace punks and unity in the scene were big deals back then. Bigger than now and everyone got very excited and enthusiastic to scream "whoa whoa whoa" for a good cause. We

45 graveButt metal at its finest. I know they're technically "horror metal" whatever the fuck that is, because they like to sing about zombies and crap ... but honestly I think sound determines genre much more than subject matter of the lyrics. If you've ever seen the movie return of the living dead then you have heard one of their songs, "party time". The rest is about like that- some even

2.5 childrenone of my old favorite punk bands. This guy dogfood dennnis I knew way back in the day is in this band. Their recordings may be hard to find but they're pretty good- standard east coast diy anarchy punkers. Really good sounds, dirty recording quality on everything, and you can actually hear what they're saying sometimes. If you like old "new school" punk (like early 90s) you'd love

16 horsepowerThese guys are hit or miss for me. Some of their stuff has that loose, raw sound that I like in my folk/bluegrass/country (? did I just say I liked country? because honestly, I don't.) but a few of their albums are too slick or overproduced to make me happy. I like the rough edges on folklore and low estate but sackcloth n ashes and secret south are just too clean for my taste. If

1349Oh my freaking shit. Nice and hard. It's a bit rough around the edges, as if they are still getting used to recording (I could be very wrong about whether or not this is intentional) but if you like the heaviest fastest scream metal then this will do it for you. Not as structured as maybe arch enemy, but still really fucking good.

!!!This band is great. I am an old punk rocker, from the before times. Therefore I was very cautious of the rave scene, dancing dayglo crap that was around a while back- who wants peace and harmony and fucking strangers on E when you could get in a pit and fight bare-chested macho hardcore guys instead? I've found !!! to be a good happy medium for me. I hate dancing but their shows make me break
