The Vogues.

[DianaBanana]

Pagelinn I only know those bands because my best friend in highschool use to love Emo and Indie stuff. In fact, I visited her in Boston back in 2000 I think, and she made me go to a few EMO/Indie shows. Good times.

[Satira]

TOOL because Maynard is the best
A Perfect Circle
Guns N Roses
Aerosmith
Nirvana
Fiona Apple
Jack Off Jill
The Used
Oasis
Fleetwood Mac

I'm trying to keep the list short but those are some of my favorites.

[Edited on 3-24-2004 by Lady Satira]

[peam]

I've seen The Used pop up waaaaaay too much.

Those guys took everything that'd bad about 'emo' and got famous off of it.

[Satira]

Who the hell cares what other people like? I don't dictate my musical taste according to what hasn't popped up. If that was the case, I'm sure I'd be trying to pass "grindcore" off as a musical genre too.

Their lyrics are good and he has a good voice. Fame isn't the end all be all of music either way.

I agree.

Pearl Jam's a solid band, and they carry a decent message, most of the time.

Can't say I'm a huge fan, but they're better than a lot of radio-rock, a la Creed, Puddle of Mudd, Limp Bizkit, Three Doors Down, etc. etc. etc.

Check out the song "Spin The Black Circle" by them. It's pretty bomb.

[Pagelinn]

Peam and Ambrosia are my current loves.


And yes, I like hs emo punk shit and I'm in college. :baa:



Indie rock though... The Decembris I recommend. Amazing.

"And as it tells its sorry tale in harrowing detail,
its hollowness will haunt you."

[peam]

Check out Planes Mistaken For Stars, if you're into that stuff. They're one of the best bands out there.

Excellent songs by them:

End Me In Richmond.
Fucking Fight.
Copper and Stars.
