OurDailyFred: Best Rock And Metal Bands

OurDailyFred 06.18.14	Bands like the Deftones and Incubus almost made the list.
Muisc4Life26 06.18.14	Dude where's Lil B dawg?
titanslayer 06.18.14	This could have been my list five years ago. You really need to branch out bro, assuming this isn't a troll list
OurDailyFred 06.18.14	Shoot forgot Green Day
ChoccyPhilly 06.18.14	I agree about branching out. I remember when Breaking Benjamin were the tits for me but now I can't stand their simple structures and "catchy" chorus'. Props for Flyleaf though. They could do with a bit more love
BMDrummer 06.18.14	If this is a troll, this was kind of weak. If this was real, branch out some more.
OurDailyFred 06.18.14	What's wrong with Breaking Benjamin? Breath is near perfect. Their song structures are tight and their songs are catchy.
BMDrummer 06.18.14	They're kind of hollow, catchiness doesn't equal good music. Props for Tool though, try some Neurosis sometime.
ChoccyPhilly 06.18.14	Because they limit themselves with just doing that. It's cool and stuff and there is nothing wrong with it, but once you discover stuff which is a bit more challenging but inevitably rewarding, you'll see exactly what I mean
OurDailyFred 06.18.14	Catchiness equals good music to me. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean that I shouldn't either.
Keyblade 06.18.14	" I remember when Breaking Benjamin were the tits for me but now I can't stand their simple structures and "catchy" chorus'. Props for Flyleaf though. They could do with a bit more love" But Flyleaf are the same tho :/
JesusMilosovic 06.18.14	Did BMDrummer just rec this guy Neurosis? Lol you think he'll actually like that?
Keyblade 06.18.14	"Catchiness equals good music to me. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean that I shouldn't either." Yep
ChoccyPhilly 06.18.14	We're not saying that you shouldn't like any band above, we're just saying that branching out is awesome :)
OurDailyFred 06.18.14	I'm always up for branching out as ling as it isn't death metal or screamo.
OurDailyFred 06.18.14	My friend told me to listen to some death metal band called suffokate a few weeks back. Made my ears bleed.
ChoccyPhilly 06.18.14	Hey, you might enjoy it dude! you just need to ease your way into it. I was literally the exact same a couple of years ago and metalcore was kind of the bridge across because it's catchy but also has rough tendencies.
Keyblade 06.18.14	That band is awful though, and is deathcore not death metal. You probably still won't like it, but try this out and check out the lyrics too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbp60IX_jFQ
Mythodea 06.18.14	Is this in order? Cause Slipknot are def not n.1.
BMDrummer 06.18.14	@JesusMilosovic I like quick recs like that, something to throw someone off guard you know. :)
climactic 06.18.14	I'm always up for branching out as ling as it isn't death metal or screamo. [2]
scorpiusx 06.18.14	I agree with catchiness = quality. Take Katy Perry for instance: Her catalog is brimming with ear worms and she's probably the best artist of the past twenty years.
ChoccyPhilly 06.18.14	Now that is a troll ^
OurDailyFred 06.18.14	I'm sorry Keyblade, but that was horrible. The music isn't bad but the vocals are just blah blah blah blah. I understood maybe every 3 or 4th word. Thank you, though.
ChoccyPhilly 06.18.14	If you're not into screaming or death growls, try A Day To Remember. They mix pop punk with metalcore in an infectiously catchy and accessible way. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0T44mKEhfb4
OurDailyFred 06.18.14	I've listened to them before, ChoccyPhilly. Not my thing but thank you.
scorpiusx 06.18.14	It's not trolling if your sarcasm has purpose. ;)
OurDailyFred 06.18.14	Just because something is catchy doesn't automatically mean I like it. I don't understand your sarcastic point, scorpius.
BMDrummer 06.18.14	You couldn't understand the words to Symbolic? Now that is trolling.
ChoccyPhilly 06.18.14	Aww really bro? I thought it would be right down your alley. Alright, last effort: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0T44mKEhfb4 My bad scorp, I don't always pick up on sarcasm
Sabrutin 06.18.14	To be honest I still fall a lot for Breaking Benjamin. I must have played their albums hundreds of times, I can't stop liking them. They were also a help when I lost someone important, so yeah I guess I will live forever with a guilty pleasure band as one of my favourites. Same with Sevenfold, but I don't feel ashamed at all (Hail to the King though...).
OurDailyFred 06.18.14	No, I couldn't. He just sounded like he was shrieking. It might also be the speakers on my computer. I'll look it up on my iPhone lster.
ArsMoriendi 06.18.14	@OurDailyFred: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1JNS3x24kU&feature=kp Try this. It's not screamy or anything like that, just awesome.
ChoccyPhilly 06.18.14	There's no shame in A7X for me. They have some great stuff regardless what anyone says but yeah, Hail To The King is a pile of shit
OurDailyFred 06.18.14	I love Hail to the King. And I'm sorry, Choccy. I don't like screamo.
BMDrummer 06.18.14	How is screamo a genre?
OurDailyFred 06.18.14	I love that bassline, ArsMoriendi! Thank you!
Sabrutin 06.18.14	@Choccy: I'm glad to hear such a sentence from someone with 1000 comments on Sputnik. "And I'm sorry, Choccy. I don't like screamo." I think you should try Waking the Fallen from A7X. It's by far me favourite album by them and it may change your mind (apparently it did with a lot of persons).
ArsMoriendi 06.18.14	@OurDailyFred: The whole album is great too. It's called Angel Dust.
ChoccyPhilly 06.18.14	It's weird that you say you don't like screamed vocals but you have Slipknot as no.1 A load of their songs has some harsh vocals like Left Behind and (Sic)
OurDailyFred 06.18.14	I really don't like Waking the Fallen. It's too much screaming. Slipknot is an exception. I think it's because I can understand what he is saying most of the time.
Thibs 06.18.14	try dying fetus
OurDailyFred 06.18.14	I can tell by the name of that band that I won't like it, but thanks Thibs.
ChoccyPhilly 06.18.14	Fair enough bro. Something without screams then. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yh9osYZNilU If you don't like any of this, then I really do give up
Sabrutin 06.18.14	"Slipknot is an exception. I think it's because I can understand what he is saying most of the time." Ok, I understand why you don't like A7X screaming then.
Keyblade 06.18.14	A more open mind and more knowledge will bring you much more enjoyment down the line, just a word of advice.
titanslayer 06.18.14	Try 10 years their a pretty good band that seems up your alley
Thibs 06.18.14	why do you need to know what the vocalist is saying? why can't you just enjoy the musicianship? why do i entertain trolls? these are all important questions
OurDailyFred 06.18.14	I love Porcupine Tree. My dad listens to them when he takes me to school in the morning. And I already have 10 Years on the list.
OurDailyFred 06.18.14	Because part of music for me is relating to the band through lyrics. I don't see a point in listening to music if I can't relate in some way.
ChoccyPhilly 06.18.14	Oh sweet. Surprised they're not on your list then
OurDailyFred 06.18.14	I havent heard enough of them. Usually my rides to school in the morning consist of torturing my sister with the guy who carpools with us.
ConorIsNotHere 06.18.14	Taylor Swift /thread
Thibs 06.18.14	oh so you relate to the lyrics from the bands in this list. that explains everything do both your dads like porcupine tree?
titanslayer 06.18.14	my bad ok maybe you would like end of silence by red
ChoccyPhilly 06.18.14	Ahh well definitely listen to all of In Absentia at least, it's well worth your time.
Keyblade 06.18.14	"Because part of music for me is relating to the band through lyrics. I don't see a point in listening to music if I can't relate in some way." You can listen to music in the same way you watch movies or read a book though. You don't have to limit yourself
OurDailyFred 06.18.14	I actually have two mothers because my biological mom is gay, but I do have a dad. That was completely insensitive and uncalled for. Ugh forgot about Red! Thanks titanslayer!
pedro70512 06.18.14	Try Mastodon. You ought to really like their new album and The Hunter and it'll be a good stepping stone into some other diverse styles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkcL1yP3qGI
ArsMoriendi 06.18.14	"do both your dads like porcupine tree?" So you assume he was raised by same-sex parents because of how he listens to music? Are you mentally handicapped Thibs?
OurDailyFred 06.18.14	I am ignoring the trolls, futures.
ChoccyPhilly 06.18.14	I'd hardly call Slipknot's lyrics relatable. Also, sometimes instrumentals or bands that sing in a foreign language can be equally as relatable because it can be whatever you want it to be cough Sigur Ros cough
ExplosiveOranges 06.18.14	Lol, successful troll is successful.
OurDailyFred 06.18.14	I don't know. I got into Slipknot about a year ago. I was angry angry angry and they helped me get through a lot.
bens 06.18.14	Keep tool Throw out the rest
Mythodea 06.18.14	I actually have two mothers because my biological mom is gay, but I do have a dad. That was completely insensitive and uncalled for. Are you Ben?
OurDailyFred 06.18.14	Ben?
Thibs 06.18.14	do both your moms like to screamo though? i bet they do bro
ArsMoriendi 06.18.14	Keep Red Hot Chili Peppers Throw out the rest* Fixed.
ChoccyPhilly 06.18.14	Oh fair enough. I'd probably consider that be the tone and aggression being relatable rather than the lyrics but yeah, they're decent for that kind of stuff
OurDailyFred 06.18.14	No, my mom loves Queen, ironically enough.
Thibs 06.18.14	cuz she has aids?
OurDailyFred 06.18.14	Is there any way i can block a user?
Thibs 06.18.14	nah i just thought she got aids from your gay dad. my bad man
ChoccyPhilly 06.18.14	Welcome to Sputnik by the way. I'm sure Thibs has done a great job at welcoming you
OurDailyFred 06.18.14	What is your problem dude?
Thibs 06.18.14	is that profile pic your uncle (dad's side)?
Mythodea 06.18.14	You'll have to deal with some people, as anywhere. You can report a post, if you want to do sth, but I don't know about blocking a whole user.
scorpiusx 06.18.14	FWIW I would chip in but I'm not much into hard rock/metal. I listen mostly to alt rock rather than hard rock; so I haven't exposed myself to much stuff harder than Soundgarden, Brand New, or Afghan Whigs. I guess the hardest thing I probably listen to is "The Downward Spiral" by Nine Inch Nails.
ChoccyPhilly 06.18.14	Sputnik isn't tech savvy enough to block users
Muisc4Life26 06.18.14	''cuz she has aids'' that's a diss to one of my idols dawg smh
Thibs 06.18.14	but i used a question mark bro
Thibs 06.18.14	couldn't figure out why it was ironic
OurDailyFred 06.18.14	You're an asshole
TheGreatQ 06.18.14	You might like Centox
BMDrummer 06.18.14	Korn made the best metal album of the past 5 years? If you're not a troll, then you haven't listened to any other metal albums.
OurDailyFred 06.18.14	That's my opinion. I don't know why you can't understand the concept of opinions
BMDrummer 06.18.14	I'm not trying to be snobby, but what do you consider to be the heaviest band you listen to?
Avagantamos 06.18.14	JFAC 4 LYFe
OurDailyFred 06.18.14	Probably 5FDP. Or slipknot.
Avagantamos 06.18.14	please tell me your profile pic is actually you. that would be awesome
BMDrummer 06.18.14	How old are you?
Mythodea 06.18.14	You can have your opinions, but I remember my 12y.o. self back in 2008 thinking that Humanity Vol.1 was super heavy. You are entitled to your own opinions, but, please, try accepting criticism. Sooner or later you'll find out that maybe you've been wrong at some points of your life. Otherwise, you'll be an arrogant ignorant.
OurDailyFred 06.18.14	I just turned 14 2 weeks ago
BMDrummer 06.18.14	What Mythodea said. Back when I was 11, I thought All Time Low was raw punk rock, but now I think that hybrid of me was kind of stupid. I accepted influence on my musical taste by listening to things people told me were good. I liked all this stuff when I was 11, but then I discovered other things that were more interesting, dense, and thought-provoking.
ChoccyPhilly 06.18.14	2 years ago at 15 I thought children of bodom were some seriously heavy stuff and I didn't accept that DT (or some of it) had pop structures. BM is right, once you start listening to other stuff which is completely different from a songwriting basis, you'll realise that writing pop structures really does have its limitations and is to an extent, less rewarding and though provoking
OurDailyFred 06.18.14	I don't understand. You guys talk to me like I'm an idiot for liking the music that I like. It's like you all think you're better than me because you listen to more obscure stuff, and that's not fair. I like what I like, and I'm open to recommendations, but just because you like a band that screams unintelligibly doesn't mean you're better than me.
Avagantamos 06.18.14	spoken like a trve middle schooler
Avagantamos 06.18.14	he's probably fucked like 5 chicks already with a face like that.
BMDrummer 06.18.14	If you think Death screams unintelligibly, read the lyrics to Symbolic. Even then, they're still intelligible.
OurDailyFred 06.18.14	Is that really necessary? @avagantamos
Avagantamos 06.18.14	I don't mean to dwell! But I can't help myself!
Avagantamos 06.18.14	together they absorb each other's lives as one they will live and they will die a living hell has begun
OurDailyFred 06.18.14	I did and all I hear are shrieks, BMDrummer
BMDrummer 06.18.14	That was like my first death metal song, and I knew the lyrics before I read them.
Sabrutin 06.18.14	What everybody is saying is that we all had some mainstream favourite bands, but after listening to more music we grew out of most of them (of course, some nostalgia remains and can't be forgotten) after realizing that they really weren't as good as we thought. Nobody want to say you're stupid, they are just trying to widen your music horizons. Browse some Sputnik and with time you'll understand.
Avagantamos 06.18.14	check out discordance axis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAQrdm53mDE
OurDailyFred 06.18.14	Well, stop telling me that I need to expand and actually give recommendations.
BMDrummer 06.18.14	Sabrutin said it best. We all had a mainstream phase, and we should all be willing to admit nostalgic appeal. But, it was a phase because it was before we discovered our true musical identity. Trust me when I say I don't only listen to death metal or whatever, I consider my taste to be somewhat diverse, not to sound pretentious, but it would be boring to just listen to one genre all the time. Hence why I can listen to Bjork and Napalm Death.
OurDailyFred 06.18.14	Not my thing, @avagantamos.
Avagantamos 06.18.14	listen to: Rush Fugazi Opeth Pink Floyd Between the Buried and Me Cynic Devin Townsend Rage Against the Machine Symphony X
Avagantamos 06.18.14	those are serious recs, btw
OurDailyFred 06.18.14	I will check them out tonight thank you man. I know a little pink Floyd.
BMDrummer 06.18.14	Definitely Fugazi, quite possibly the greatest punk band ever. Most of those are also really good as well, with Pink Floyd, Rush, and Opeth being worthwhile. Here's some more recs: King Crimson Yes Black Sabbath Isis Dinosaur Jr. Genesis (early albums) Queens of the Stone Age Slayer (earlier stuff)
DominionMM1 06.18.14	shitty user
Sabrutin 06.18.14	Rush [2] Opeth [2] Pink Floyd [2] Cynic [2] Symphony X [2] Black Sabbath [2] Quuens of the Stone Age [2] Slayer [2] (tbh I enjoy their late works too) Also: Accept Queensryche Bad Religion Death Angel Sonata Arctica Toto ^ Those are the ones I think are easy to approach for a taste of different genres Last but not least, I'll give just a couple of recs about the heavier genres. For black metal try An Autumn For Crippled Children For death metal try SepticFlesh I'm not too keen on those genres, but since I really like both bands I think they are easy to approach for newcomers (like me).
OurDailyFred 06.18.14	Ok thank you guys. I really appreciate it
Bromero 06.18.14	Beatles? Zeppelin? Pink Floyd? GNR? Nirvana? Soundgarden? Megadeth? Metallica? Where are the good bands on here??
Motiv3 06.18.14	I didn't think it was possible but you actually put close to no good bands on this list.
StallionMang 06.18.14	119 comments smh, don't you fookers know not to feed the trolls
CamJCollins 06.18.14	Thrice
OurDailyFred 06.18.14	I'm not a big fan of old rock, guys. And why do I continually get accused of being a troll?
CamJCollins 06.18.14	For starters, it would help to not shoot down every rec given to you. And many user have already said it: your musical taste will (hopefully) mature and all of these recs you are shooting down will end up being favorites in ten years. I used to be a slipknot, mudvayne, etc. fan. Nowadays I have moved onto much better bands, such as Death, Cynic, and Isis.
OurDailyFred 06.18.14	I haven't shot down every recommendation that's been given to me, though. I've liked quite a few so far, except for the screamo ones.
ArsMoriendi 06.18.14	@OurDailyFred: Just listen to Faith No More's Angel Dust and you'll be fine.
Sabrutin 06.18.14	Just try to listen to anything you want. I remember that one day I was jamming Breaking Benjamin only, and today Rush and Queensryche are some of my favourite bands.
CamJCollins 06.18.14	Mastodon "Oblivion", Thrice "To Awake and Avenged the Dead", Opeth "Moonlapse Vertigo", Dead Letter Circus "Lodestar", Karnivool "New Day", Isis "Syndic Calls"
Cerbyrus 06.18.14	Magrudergrind Weekend Nachos
Avagantamos 06.18.14	faith no more angel dust [2]
Avagantamos 06.18.14	"I've liked quite a few so far, except for the screamo ones." you don't even know what screamo is
scorpiusx 06.18.14	Alright, here is the most sincere advice I can give to you: To appreciate more complex forms of music, you generally need to have some familiarity with it. Familiarity breeds appreciation to a certain extent. Too steep of a drop-off from what one is familiar with will cause them to not appreciate the music to the fullest extent. When I was in high school I listened to a lot of crappy pop music, and was cool with most of that at the time, but I was wanting to see what was out there. Here is what I did; what got me introduced to the world of music on a whole new level. And many people will scoff at this, but it worked for me: Rolling Stone put out a list a few years back that listed off their Top 100 Songs of the Decade. I listened to every song on that list that I wasn't familiar with: http://www.stereogum.com/105081/rolling_stones_100_best_albums_songs_of_the_00s/list/ Is it a perfect list? No. Heck Rolling Stone is one of my least trusted music publications at this point. But for someone who's just starting to get their feet wet, it's a great introduction to what all is out there. There will be a lot of stuff there that doesn't grab your attention. Some you will dismiss; wondering what the hype is about. But some of those songs are bound to grab your attention, and you'll replay them. Then you'll want to hear their respective albums and so on and so forth. The key to finding the music that you love the most is primarily about self discovery, rather than other people pushing their music on you. This list has a lot of stuff on there, and your favs are bound to be different from my favs. But that's the beauty of it. ^ Go ahead, give it a whirl.
smokersleeper5268 06.18.14	Katatonia!
ChoccyPhilly 06.19.14	A load of recs coming your way then, none of which will have harsh vocals: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmZ_Rw4iNbg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQh60zg3NaY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBKAcdZ4eZo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Shvo9t2qznw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aV2IkSpRPtU Yeah, there is no point anyone recommending you even "tame" death metal cos it's pretty clear that you're just not into that stuff yet. Enjoy the recs then
Mythodea 06.19.14	@Scorpiusx, FVCK MAN! That was the way I started seriously delving into metal!I had some serious basis from my parents and older sister (Zeppelin,Floyd,Deep Purple etc.) but metal? Hell no! The closest I had ever been to metal was Metallica and Iron Maiden. And maybe Dream Theater. Then one day I bought the Greek Metal Hammer just because it had some posters I liked. BUT! it also had a competition: ''Make a list of your 30 favorite songs and win!'' The 200 best songs according to readers were published two months later and I jammed 99% of them. Little by little I started learning music and rejecting bands over others etc. Four years have passed since. Sniff!
ScuroFantasma 06.20.14	Some pretty good stuff here imo, but there could be more diversity. Props for Mudvayne though.
Ichangedmynametojeff 06.23.14	Why
