I once had a different problem (skipping/cracking audio) and reinstalling the drivers sorted it out for me, so do indeed try that.

Shota, loli, it's all a bit 'hmmmm....' to me.. Put bluntly some people use the excuse of anime for their paedophile urges (I once knew a guy like that in an IRC server) which I honestly find disgusting; I watch anime for enjoyment, not to [bleep] to children. in before inevitable crapstorm and HUUUUUR DUUUUURRR

Not a bad album if you like lo-fi indie rock.

Heh, Atheist is probably the best example of a tech-death band. Death, well, they're ok I suppose. Also, lol Tool as prog metal example. Not that they're horrible or anything, but there's less generic bands that are more prog that you could use, e.g. Ayreon, Strapping Young Lad (HELL YEAH YOU [bleep]ING SUCK) or Pain of Salvation. And prog isn't necessarily guitar-led, lots of prog bands alternate between drums, keyboard and guitar often. Dream Theater is guitar/keyboard alternating, whereas Ayreon has the emphasis on the vocalists, and Opeth has the emphasis on twin guitar attacks and jazz-influenced playing.

Well I got rid of mine because the software broke on me, but I signed up again today. I'll post it when I've listened to more music, what's on there now doesn't represent the full spectrum of my musical tastes. Oh, and the group leader didn't create a forum. >:| I think we need one on the group.

My Bloody Valentine - I Can See It (But I Can't Feel It) Isn't Anything is a great album, and now that's finished: Moccasin - Ezra's Ghost

King's X, Green Carnation, In the Woods...

But in comparison to the music scene here (no idea of what it's like in Portugal), which is made up of Brit-indie rock and pop, prog rock/metal isn't considered "mainstream" if we're talking about the respective cultures and such. But on a global scale, and most importantly, in the long-term, the prog rock/metal bands are more popular due to the fact that they maintain a steady listener base, versus the "one-hit wonder" chart toppers that often die out after a while. There's Internet mainstream and real-life mainstream also - what's popular on here isn't usually spoken about at all in real life unless you know people that are into that sort of music.

I got that album as a gift from a friend recently. Yet to listen to it. Radiohead - Everything in Its Right Place

Haruhi was already mainstream, not to mention as overrated as hell.

Step 1: See a doctor. Step 2: See a psychiatrist. All the best, though.

Dream Theater - Under a Glass Moon Images and Words was the album that got me into progressive metal (and made me love metal in general).

Spot the responses! Excellent post, very insightful.

Ayreon - Beneath the Waves

Opeth - In Mist She Was Standing Sure is longsongs here. I don't care much for black metal, full of novelty bands and related tomfoolery. I also have no problem with rap; as stated it's because you raged over the person listening to Yankovic. Anyway, it's over now.

I have a Pearl Jam album (don't know what it is) that I've never listened to. Pink Floyd - Time

Porcupine Tree - Trains The version on the XMII radio album.

My Bloody Valentine - Cupid Come

Porcupine Tree - My Ashes

Not really J-music but GO!GO!7188 is good also.

If you're not listened to Agalloch (I think you might have) then I'd recommend that you listen to their "Ashes Against the Grain" album. Also, Ahab is pretty [bleep]ing kvlt.

Yeah, I'm with you. I'l put it on in a minute. :D

Noob. I'm listening to Whatever You Like, by T.I., the legit one. Not that wanna-be [cabbage]. Get out. Symphony X - Eve of Seduction Just a little something before I leave for school.

Ecellent purchases. : The Sigur Rós was really really good. Still to listen to the Arcade Fire one, but if I remember their first album was pretty good. :)

I remember really loving Halloween when I was 10 and younger. I still think it's good fun for the young'uns and I get a bit miffed when people are offended by it... but at the end of the day, each to their own. This year? I'll be staying home and catching up on some much-needed rest! :lol:
