[bleachedrhino]

These are a few of my fav bands....in somewhat of a guesstimated "order of favorites (decreasing)".....just tell me what you think about anyone...
*honorable mention* CAKE
10)Green Day
9)Foo Fighters
8)Collective Soul
7)Staind
6)Lifehouse
5)Our Lady Peace
4)Creed
3)Linkin Park
2)Lit
1)Offspring
other bands that didn't make the list because I don't know a whole lot about, but I know one or two really good songs...
Default, Puddle of Mudd, Jimmy Eat World, Nickelback, Train, Good Charlotte, Saliva, A New Found Glory.....

[bleachedrhino]

forgot about finger 11 and adema under the bands that i don't know a lot about list.....and.....OMG! I completely forgot about one of my all time favorites.....#2 to Offspring.....INCUBUS!
later,
rhino
:cool:

[pistolpete2]

6)Lifehouse

Lifehouse are all Christian, they used to lead worship at their church, and their lyrics are pretty obviously Christian, the only reason people question them on here is because they're succesful in the mainstream. Well, there's my tangent about that, about the other bands.
Jimmy Eat World is a awesome band, and dispite the fact they're not Christian, they have positive messeges in their songs. Maybe I'll get to the others later. OUT!

[bleachedrhino]

I guess I referred to them as secular because I'm so used to them being considered secular artists....but it doesn't matter to me

[Travis]

CAKE eh..
10)Green Day I like Dookie and the two following albums
9)Foo Fighters They are pretty cool
8)Collective Soul Have some good stuff
7)Staind YES!
6)Lifehouse Ok
5)Our Lady Peace Never heard their stuff
4)Creed Yes
3)Linkin Park Pretty good
2)Lit ok
1)Offspring *edit* Like "Smash" and "Ixnay on the Hombre" (and some new too :))

Nickelback yes
Incubus pretty good

[BluesJunkie]

OK, I'm going to show my age and sound like a stick in the mud, but...

All of those bands are bland and generic and suck.

[bleachedrhino]

That's kool.....you like Kenny Wayne Shephard?
Hey Pleasurepain.....When you see the first two Offspring albums...which two are you talkin about? here is the actual order of Offspring cd's:
1) The Offspring
2) Ignition
3) Smash (tied for Best)
4) Ixnay On The Hombre (tied for best)
5) Americana (not recommended....only for true offspring fans)
6) Conspiracy of One
:cool:

[Scott]

sorry, but ixnay on the hombre definetly grabs the best album prize and dashes down the street with it.

bluesjunkie, what kinda stuff do you like (blues obviously but who)?

[bleachedrhino]

Wow.....scottyboy, you're the man! I don't know that many people that have heard of Ixnay...let alone, like it.....I would say it's my fav with songs like Me and My old Lady, Gone Away, Meaning of Life, and Change the World (basically the whole cd).....But Smash has some kool songs, too: Genocide, Gotta Get Away, Not the One, Nitro (youth energy), and Self Esteem...
:cool:

[Ali4God]

Foo Fighters are great... I can listen to the acoustic version of "everlong" over and over...

Yes I do like some of his stuff :)

And oops I am a retard. I meant that my favs were Smash and Ixnay on the Hombre.

[bleachedrhino]

hey, that's kool....as long as you're not referring to Americana....And the Kenny Wayne thing was directed to the other guy (since he's bluesy), but it's ok if you like him too! ;)
Hey Alison....I love that song...I think it's the koolest song I've learned how to play that is in dropped d tuning! :D ( maybe tied with the long repetitious part to Schism: Tool)

[Scott]

yeah, ixnay was the first offspring album i heard, which was slightly disapointing in a way cos they havent really reached those heights again. and they are getting way old. so less chance of them getting there again.

[A-Rok Ric]

*honorable mention* CAKE -heck yeah, honorable mention! ;)
10)Green Day - agreed, good quality sound
9)Foo Fighters - heh.. they're fun
8)Collective Soul - eh, not so much my style, but talented yes
7)Staind - good sound, BAD morals, but good music
6)Lifehouse - they're Christian, yes?
5)Our Lady Peace - uhhh...?
4)Creed - eh, i kinda get really sick of em really quickly
3)Linkin Park - heck yeah! right on!
2)Lit - loved their first couple songs, but i bought that album and it kinda sucked big time.. i think i gave it away
1)Offspring - good sound, but i don't listen to em much

Good Charlotte (GC) and New Found Glory (NFG) rock! They're two of my fave bands, no doubt!

[Travis]

Yeah, but "the kids aren't alright" is a good song.

[bleachedrhino]

As far as the TRUE offspring sound goes....there are about 4-5 songs on Americana which are allowed to be in that categor:
Have You Ever
The Kids Aren't Alright (best on the cd)
Feelings
End of the Line
No Brakes
Why Don't you get a job would go under a category with Don't Pick It Up (Ixnay) and What Happened to You? (Smash)...
The Newest cd is a little bit better....even though it's a little bit of a redeveloped sound...all of the songs are good with the exception of Original Prankster....:D
Arok rik sounds like you recognize good music...(I can understand how Creed can get old...they play them out on the radio....which is why I no longer like With Arms Wide Open and Higher)....which Lit cd did you get? was it the first one (I forget the name...something about tripping or trapping...), A place in the sun, or Atomic?

[nestamanchris]

Ixnay's the only Offspring cd I own. I kinda like Smash better (I've loved Self Esteem since I was like 13), but I haven't ever bought it. Punk's not really my thing, but the Offspring are on my cool band list (not my top 10, though).

[bleachedrhino]

Anyone who likes or appreciates offspring is very kool! Self Esteem used to be my fav song, too.... but now...it's kinda hard to say...I'll put my top 10 in another thread....:D

[A-Rok Ric]

bleachedrhino-interesting name, btw ;)
It was A Place in the Sun I believe... like I said, I listened to it a few times and STILL couldn't bring myself to like the bulk of the CD, so I gave it to my friend, Matt. :) Oh, and you can just call me Amanda. And yes, I happen to like my taste in music. *grin*

[bleachedrhino]

Kool....but i liked that cd! It got stolen when it was at school...and I really liked it :(
Yeah...i know...Well...that's it Amanda....:D

[Insane Drummer]

woohoo linkin park rocks!!!!!!!!!

only band on your list i like.........

[bleachedrhino]

The only one?! I guess you don't know any of the other ones! :D

[SenorPapaCabasa]

Incubus..........rules! Their "Make Yourself" CD... is musically one of my favorite cd's. Offspring's old school is good, NFG rocks too.

I like Creed, Staind, and Linkin Park too

[Insane Drummer]

linkin park is the only secular band i like........... i like some other secular songs........ but not realy more then 2 or 3 from any one band except linkin park....

[bleachedrhino]

Hey that's kool insane drummer....i was really jokin about that anyway....;)
Dude Senor Papa Cabasa, you rock dude! First off, you recognize that Offspring's OLD SCHOOL is good (first thing i saw;)). And then, you say that Incubus' Make Yourself cd was awesome...and it most definitely is--> Kool power chords and distortion, upbeat with some rad turntables, Brandon's awesome vocals, and a song that sounds retro kool (Battlestar Scralactica). And finally, you note some other kool bands!
Plus, i know you like MxPx...:D

[SenorPapaCabasa]

yea..... ya see.... bleachedrhino smells what im stepping in :D

[bleachedrhino]

haha.....yeah...I'm all over that like white on rice! ;)

[OnEaglesWings]

hmm...Creed, Train and Lifehouse are pretty good...can't say much for the others though.

[bleachedrhino]

that's kool.....I asked for opinions and I'm gettin them back now... so, it's all good! :D

[Scott]

linkin park are truly awful. unoriginal lyrics, bland music. nuff said.

[bleachedrhino]

I happen to like the occasional, easy to play, Dropped D, heavy distorted sound...Linkin park uses that, kool hip hop kinda lyrics, and Chester's vocals at the chorus (the one who does more of the screamin kinda stuff)....:D

[Karaiki]

These are a few of my fav bands....in somewhat of a guesstimated "order of favorites (decreasing)".....just tell me what you think about anyone...
*honorable mention* CAKE *YES, THA BEST!! I love THE DISTANCE*
10)Green Day *I have all the cds, they rock, they changed rock*
9)Foo Fighters *OMG!! Nirvana Drummer is now a singer, and he's hot!!*
8)Collective Soul *I like them somewhat*
7)Staind *Got tha cd, then I must like them*
6)Lifehouse *Stanely Climbfall is the best cd they've ever had*
5)Our Lady Peace *I like them*
4)Creed *Six Feet Under is over played on the radio, but they are very well put together*
3)Linkin Park *I had all the cds, but my dad took them away... :whine: *
2)Lit *Who??*
1)Offspring *Aw! I saw them in concert!!*
other bands that didn't make the list because I don't know a whole lot about, but I know one or two really good songs...
Default, Puddle of Mudd, Jimmy Eat World, Nickelback, Train, Good Charlotte, Saliva, A New Found Glory..... These bands are under appreciated. :brick: :duh:

[meatfinger]

Whoa, can anyone say "pointless thread ressurection"?

I can. :D

For future reference, karaiki, we try to avoid posting in threads more than three or four months old without a reason.

[meatfinger]

Oh and I forgot to mention: my, how Travis has changed. ;)

[Karaiki]

Now for the bands I love!! 1-10!


1. 311-get the [From Chaos] cd.
2. Weezer-Get the green cd and the blue cd.
3. N.E.R.D-She wants to move...oh yeah.



And all the other dude listed and I'm too lazy to say who else. :yep:

[Karaiki]

Sorry..... :(

[meatfinger]

It's all good. You didn't know.

Man, I'm way to nice. If I'm going to mod in here, I have to turn real mean real fast.

[Insane Drummer]

... This thread is very old.. who revived this? And my old post is now defunct and meaningless.

[meatfinger]

who revived this?
It's quite simple to tell by simply looking at the date/time info.
And my old post is now defunct and meaningless.
Not really. It still has meaning. Sure, it may be info that has changed over the years, but still there is meaning.

[/hair splitting]

[Skeeter]

These bands are under appreciated. :brick: :duh:
Um...everyone one of those bands is relatively mainstream with many, many fans. I'm not sure you know the meaning of under-appreciated. If anything, bands like Linkin Park and Staind are over-appreciated.

[Scott]

I don't think I could type/form proper sentences a few years ago.

[Josh]

Hahahaha. This thread is hilarious. I failed to notice the date of the posts, and all I could think was "Dear Lord, what happened to Travis and Scott?"

Thankfully, my fears were alleviated. CGR's secular music forum wouldn't have been the same without them.

Josh.

[Scott]

I still like the albums I said I did back then, I'm just a better writer these days ;).

[julianaTheory30]

I hate all the bands there cept Collective soul
i actually really like them
your only the second person that i know that really likes them

peace

[perhaps]

Hahaha...oh that Travis...

[Sean]

I still like the albums I said I did back then, I'm just a better writer these days ;).
I was listening to Ixnay on the Hombre today. Were you Scott from Scotland? :)

[Scott]

Not today, but last week.

Hurray for Ixnay.
