| The Evolution Of Steel Erect's Musical Progression
I thought I would go through my musical evolution as a tween through my now 27th year of
being alive. Before we had the internet, I used to do blind purchases or I would look at the
bands that my favorite bands thanked in their booklet and check them out. Also, older friends
helped improve my taste widely. I am bored and thought this would be fun to look back on. I
hope some of you enjoy and get a doozy out of this. | | 1 |  | MC Hammer
Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em
These next four albums described my 7-10 years old discovery of music from radio and MTV when they
actually played music videos. | | 2 |  | MC Hammer

definitely right here pushed it really far for me. | | 19 |  | Soundgarden

Then, like some of the other bands listed, nu metal was a big part of my high school years until about my
senior year in 2001 before it got really stale to my ears. But here were a few more of my favorites in early
high school. | | 21 |  | Coal Chamber

Then, my love for grind and brutal death metal came back. And I still listen to a bunch of other shit that I
forgot about. Man, I left about a bunch actually, but this is a good timeline. | |

06.06.10 | This was kind of a fun road down memory lane. A lot of these records I still love, some records I love weren't mentioned, and some of these I just laugh at, but all in all. It has been a fun journey through my love of a music. | FadeToBlack
06.06.10 | steel erection | SteelErectedb4you8er
06.06.10 | Oh baby! That is my lastfm and soulseek name. | FadeToBlack
06.06.10 | k just added you on last.fm
those final three bands/albums are insane win | SteelErectedb4you8er
06.06.10 | Hell yeah man. That EW record makes me feel stoned without being stoned. I love it. | FadeToBlack
06.06.10 | do u have Nasum's Helvete? imo thats their best | SteelErectedb4you8er
06.06.10 | Yeah, I do. I love that record. Scoop! Nasum was just awesome. Rotten Sound is my new favorite replacement since they will never be around again. Added to lastfm list. | greg84
06.06.10 | Your musical progression seems to be really similar to mine. Of course, with a few exceptions. I'm going through a stoner rock phase right now. Does it mean that I'll begin to listen to grind and death metal within 2 years? I guess, yes. Besides, I like to think that I'm getting more versatile with age. | Metalstyles
06.06.10 | List reminded me that you're still yet to send me that Roachpowder album ;) | SteelErectedb4you8er
06.06.10 | Haha, I forgot metalstyles. I will do what I can. You have soulseek? Greg, yeah, I mean, I don't only listen to metal myself, it just what I listen to the most. Yeah, I would say that my musical taste is quite diverse or versatile. | greg84
06.06.10 | I just like to say it that's diverse haha. I guess I'm equally into rock, alternative and metal nowadays. Or at least my last.fm account says it. This Roachpowder album is really good. I'm listening to it right now. | SteelErectedb4you8er
06.06.10 | Yeah dude. Where did you find it? I have been meaning to get it for metalstyles. I bought it on stonerock.com. It's gotta a lot of down influence in it, and the riffs are great. They have another album that is really good too called Atomic Church that I like a lot as well. | greg84
06.06.10 | It's one of the shitload of stoner rock albums I've downloaded recently. I guess it's from one of the blogs I regularly check for new releases. As for stoner/desert rock, I definitely recommend the new Fatso Jetson album. I even wrote a review for this one. Besides, the Icelandic act The Brain Police is rad. Plus, of course I can't stop listening to Dozer releases. | Dryden
06.07.10 | sleeeeeeeeep | random
10.08.10 | What the hell is up with all of ICP's album covers? | eternium
10.08.10 | I'm still a teenager and I love most of what you found in your 20's. Nice progression btw. |
