Crying out of it being beautiful, sad or frustrating? Beautiful: Porcupine Tree - Lazarus Sad: Opeth - Hope Leaves Frustrating: Sunn O))) & Boris - Her Lips Were Wet with Venom

Porcupine Tree. Get "Lightbulb Sun" for a nice acoustic album with some syrupy love ballads. Get "Deadwing" for something more metal. Get "Fear of a Blank Planet" for a progressive rock masterpiece. Get "On the Sunday of Life" for something creepy and oh-so-[bleep]ing-awesome.

Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet

I don't think I can really name a single band that's overly popular in their own country. And I think alot of people listen to Sigur Rós to be "trendy" and "cool"; their music (especially the early stuff, their new stuff is definitely abit crap) is far too niche for the mainstream audience that I'm seeing everywhere. I dunno. This wins the award for being mind-blowingly strange.

I take a potato chip.... AND EAT IT! Anyway. Death Note is boring. It's overrated and pointless; fangirls and fanboys ruin it also.

A little bit less metal and so on. Pink Floyd Porcupine Tree Sigur Rós Jesu My Bloody Valentine Opeth Neu! Dark Tranquillity Amon Amarth M83 Swallow the Sun

Sigur Rós is great, I love post-rock/shoegaze. Jónsi's voice is amazing. Björk is admittedly rather meh. I misread the lyrics. :P Also, watch Heima; that proves that Sigur Rós has quite the Icelandic fanbase.

I've used Ubuntu, Debian and Fedora and they're all pretty good. A little impractical for use every day though. Plus I've found support for wireless network adapters to be dire. All of the drivers are very basic and inspecific unlike ones for Windows; atleast that's what I've seen from Linux anyway. Fedora is awkward due to no closed-source drivers or anything being included; with Debian you can get them from APT. (Same with Ubuntu).

Damnation has no metal at all on it. It's 70s prog stuff, very soft and calm. Also get Blackwater Park. Opeth is a hard listen for the first time, it's a kind of sound that grows on you. Pink Floyd - Time

I like Damnation best. Many people would disagree with me though.. (Woo for my post count) Damnation makes me cry my eyes out. It's so beautiful. My Arms, Your Hearse is Opeth's weakest in my opinion. Blackwater Park is their very best. Pink Floyd - Speak to Me/Breathe in the Air

Metal threads always go to pot after about one page. People listen to what sounds good. Who really cares if it's metal or not.

[never mind, I'm in a bad mood at the moment]

Sigur Rós - Svefn-g-englar In a chillout sort of mood tonight.

If any of you ever get the chance to see post-rock band Sigur Rós, go. You won't be disappointed. I went to see them in a field on the 19th of July and they're now my favourite live band. [bleep]ing INCREDIBLE.

Suprised this one hasn't been posed: Lotus. Lots of trouble; usually serious.

Sigur Rós - Hoppípolla

Dark Moor - The Bane of Daninsky, the Werewolf

You consider Amon Amarth Melo death? They're kind of a cross between Viking and MDM in my opinion; but they definitely sound closer to MDM than Viking. Viking metal seems to be more like folk metal with Norse themes from what I've heard of it.

Anyone remember the Muhammad cartoons in Jyllands-Posten awhile back? Well, I'm half-Danish, and some Muslims I knew burned the Danish flag. I did feel rather offended because I myself and 99% of other Danes had nothing to do with it at all. If they'd actually read the article before being so uptight and intolerant of freedom of speech - which Denmark is renowned for. I believe the article was on freedom of speech; but I won't link to it out of respect for any Muslim members here.

My second favourite would be melodic death metal (MDM). Bands include: - Dark Tranquillity - Insomnium (made of much \m/ing) - Amon Amarth - Kalmah - (ugh) In Flames

See: [rooster] and Ball Torture.

That or their self-titled. Porcupine Tree - Anesthetize
