[Sevanston]

Favorite genre: I go through phases. Currently leaning on hip-hop, but I've gone through almost every subgenre of rock, and a good few years with only soul and R&B.
SIX favorite artists/bands/groups: Lupe Fiasco, Kanye West, Jay-Z, The Beatles, Gogol Bordello, Motorpsycho
Favorite song: "Kick, Push" - Lupe Fiasco
Favorite song to get pumped up to: "On to the Next One" - Jay-Z
Best concert to see: Gogol Bordello is unbelievable. RHCP was fun. I was underwhelmed by Radiohead. Almost died in the crowd at Rage Against the Machine, though it was pretty fun once I got out of the moshpit. Everyone around me had about 4 inches and 50-80 pounds on me, making it difficult to do much of anything when they all started going. I understand that wasn't typical at RATM shows though, since they stopped the set several times to stop people from moshing when it got dangerous.
Genres I despise: None.
Arists/bands/groups I despise:It would be nice if I never had to hear Rihanna or Bruno Mars ever again.
Songs I despise: Anything by the above two.

[RayP]

Songs I despise: Tattoo by Van Halen.

Makes me want to slice my ears off with a mandolin when I hear that song.


Aside from really hating that song, I'm pretty open to most genres. The only thing I really dislike, is that hardcore rap talking about a bunch of BS they never did. Next least favorite would be country, but can handle it in small doses.

On the topic of music...

The best product of the American Idol winners was the very first one Kelly Clarkson, hence the show has been spinning its tires for the past decade and just needs to go away.

Agree or Disagree?
