I actually think that this is quite a good conversational thread. You, trying to end it via one angst-ridden post, just makes it even better.xChevelle24 said:
You're entitled to your opinion as everyone else is entitled to theirs but what gives you the right to shut everyone else down whilst voicing your own opinion at the same time? That's blatantly immature and selfish.
Also - admitting your depression? Is that a cry for help or do you think that makes you sound cool and edgy?
If you're seeking attention then that's really sad. Depression's a serious thing buddy and I've lost mates to it.
On the flipside, If you're honestly depressed then seek medical or psychological help instead of going around and dropping bombs in forums.
As for the original topic at hand- I'm a massive fan of Thrice, Opeth, Iron Maiden, NIN, Arcade Fire, UNKLE, Devin Townsend, Queen, The Doors.
I wont post youtube clips of all of them seeing as everyone probably knows most of them anyway.
In the vein hope that someone does take interest though, here's some Thrice [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJuUkPz7sZw]. They're post-hardcore, rocky, experimental and probably the perfect example of a band that grows and changes over time.
I also 100% agree that there is a lot of amazing hip-hop//rap out there (Hermitude, RJD2, UNKLE). Though I don't 'click' with a lot of the stuff that gets airtime I can totally understand the appeal of it to younger generations, same with dance music (I still listen to Paul Oakenfold and Armin Van Buuren quite frequently) and pop music.
