"Waiting Game" by Yellowcard is explosive. I'd say it's alt-rock... But it's one of those songs where you really don't know if it can be performed on stage, and yet, I swear, they pulled it off so well that I wondered if it was a dream... Also, "Act V, Scene IV: And So It Ends Like It Began" by The Ataris is unbelievable, both on and off stage, but especially on. When I saw it, Kris Roe wasn't even standing by the end of the song. A very powerful experience. Again, not traditional rock, though... Going back to classical rock, I'd have to say that "Knocking At Your Back Door" by Deep Purple is awesome.

I'd also like to plug a rare French version of "Anarchy In the U.K." by the Sex Pistols. I'd not qualify that as rock, let alone punk... Let's just say that there's an accordion. Almost a bit of screamo, though, give them some credit... ;)

Sentra I respect your tastes, from one music enthusiast to another you have some great songs on their, as well as bands... do you like pearl jam?

Sentra
Nov 3, 2006, 04:19 PM
I like a few of their songs, yes and thank you! :)

I have a hard time saying that I like one band in particular, which is why I just say which songs or genres I like. I like all kinds, including a few bluegrass songs (don't have the songs here and forget the names, but they are very sweet.)

I can say that I like EVERYTHING by Apocalyptica. <3

Same here I consider myself ecletic, as in I like everything however I tend to listen to a few distinct genre's. Rock of course, anything from 60's to today, I also like rap, not today's stuff though, but the 90's stuff like dre, tupac, and what not... all great stuff...

However with the rock, I mostly like the 70's and Grunge stuff, mainly because grunge will built upon by the 70's rock movement. A lot of progressive, punk, arena, hardcore, post-hardcore,light(very little), etc. however I am not all that into death metal, I like speed however. Big fan of Megadeth. But Pearl Jam is definitely my favorite not only because of the sound, but because of what it talks about. I never use to say that I had a favorite band, but with pearl jam it's more than music, and that feeling only really comes from having a favorite band.

I agree with you on the 'feeling' bit.

Seems like some rock today sounds too much like 'pop'. Not a bad thing, still good, but hardcore is missing in this century.
