You are younger than I am Meryl

A sizeable amount younger, in fact, if I remember correctly. Don't worry about it. Be proud that you are one of the very few here who can actually say they listen to VERY different types of music. In fact, I find that very fascinating about you. That Visual Kei stuff you played for me that time was very, very cool stuff. It's kind of funny, actually. While we have certain goth rock bands over here dressing feminine but in a very dark sad and twisted way, meanwhile over in japan, they have the exact opposite and the music sounds the exact opposite, too. I love that idea. HAHA. It's like that magazine fruits I saw once.

Anyways, I'm a sucker for what I was inspired by the most when I was younger musically and any "true to the artform" derivatives of it. Anybody, playing Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas right now? Thought so. Let's just say the radio station in that game Audio X is more than just nostalgia for me. It uncannily represents the VERY favorite type of bands from the VERY time I tend to think rock music was at its best.

There are certain songs that never stop being one of my favorite tunes and 3 of them are
Soundgarden's "Rusty Cage"
Alice In Chains' "Them Bones"
and
JAne's Addiction's "Been Caught Stealing"

All of which are on that station.

OKies, since I would probably find it hard to mention some of my fav bands from other than that era right now since my mind is tired let's go 90's (more or less) here for a while:

Soundgarden
Pearl Jam
Smashing Pumpkins
Stone Temple Pilots
Mudhoney
NIrvana
Deftones (first heard em in '96)
Rage Against The Machine
TooL
Temple of the Dog
Mad Season
Alice In CHains
Foo Figthers (think first album...DAVE GROHL ROCKS)
Jane's Addiction
Red Hot Chili Peppers
White Zombie
Nine Inch Nails

A lot of people like a lot of these bands, though. So in a way, they are not the bands I like that are the ones that make me unique, but perhaps the way they make me feel and the reason I like them are. THere's other bands in between there styles that I used to dig during the time, but these ones are the landmarks to me. I hope I didn't leave any out. There are other bands from the time I feel more now than I used to because I did some digging into their material and realized the nostalgiaic effect they have on me, but the bands I listed above do way more than that. Maybe, a large part of me will forever be stuck in the nineties. This is what happens to most people. They pick a favoritate decade and they bring it with them.

IN my next post I will get into some of my intense world of metal bands. All I can leave you all with for now is an oxymoron. THANK GOD FOR BLACK METAL!!! BRU JA JA JA JA JA JAAAAAAAAAAAA

Oh man, then I'm going to have to get into rap. I got some important lists ahead.
