Alright ladies and gents, I've gotta fill you in on what I see as the best and worst in '08 as far as music goes.

 

 

 

 

 

1. Guilty Pleasure - "Disturbia", Rhianna. This song is so incredibly catchy that I can't help but like it. The music video also deserves a thumbs up for the horrifying nature of the video.

 

 

 

2. Best Album - Easily, "In Silico" by Pendulum. Songs such as "Granite" and "Showdown" are enough drum and bass to get even a dead person's heart pumping. Special kudos to the band for "Mutiny" landing on the LG (cannot remember which model of phone) commercial.

 

 

 

3. Biggest Disappointment (Song) - "Heroes of Our Time", DragonForce. I have to say this song really made me lose faith in this band, long are the days when their songs were fun to listen too. I really was expecting more.

 

 

 

4. Best Surprise - "All Summer Long", Kid Rock. Who knew that ANOTHER mix of "Sweet Home Alabama" would be made, but who knew that it actually would be good? It may be because he references Michigan, or maybe its because Kid Rock just loves life and the song represents it.

 

 

 

5. Best Song - "Psychosocial", Slipknot. When I was in the car with my girlfriend today, I told her "A good metal song makes me want to punch someone in the face". "Psychosocial" makes me want to punch everyone in the face. When Slipknot put out "Before I Forget" I knew this band had talent. "Psychosocial" is damn near the best metal song I have heard in ages, and I think we all need to watch out for Slipknot in the future.

 

 

 

6. Best DVD Release - "Chaos in Motion", Dream Theater. Totally biased.

I hate that song with a passion. :lol:

I can't help it, its too catchy! :lol:

There are catchier.

 

 

 

In particular, the recent one by Miley Cyrus.

 

I agree with you about Kid Rock, though. Thought his good years were long behind him, but now he mixes country and rock.

 

 

 

Again.

Yeah I was thoroughly surprised with Kid Rock. Not to mention that the video was just as Rock'n'Roll as anything could get.

Edit: Oh [cabbage], I feel like an idiot, sorry :lol:

Psychosocial is damn near the best metal song I have heard in ages.

 

:shock:

Christian is my name ;)

 

 

 

"Psychosocial" happens to the best I've heard in ages because it is different, it is new, and it is metal.

Uhhh..... I knew that. :-w

I disagree with most of what you put up, but oh well. I'm really just posting to say you might want to change the title from "Christian's Music Picks of 2008" to "Ralag's Music Picks of 2008" so people don't continue to get confused.

 

5. Best Song - "Psychosocial", Slipknot. When I was in the car with my girlfriend today, I told her "A good metal song makes me want to punch someone in the face".

Somebody please, kill me now.

Can do.

Thanks man :thumbup:

Kinda wierd that you told your girlfriend a good metal song makes you want to punch someone in the face.

She's a good girlfriend.

 

 

 

 

 

Listen to "Psychosocial", its really a great song.

Its alright. I can fall asleep to Slipknot. Just throwing that out there.

Slipknot didn't exactly meet my expectations with their new album. I guess that's what happens when you try to follow up an album produced by Rick Rubin. Same with The Mars Volta on De-Loused. They haven't used him since and haven't put out an album as good as that one.

 

 

 

And please, Kid Rock is an absolute disgrace to music. By the way, he not only pays sacrilege to "Sweet Home Alabama", but even goes as far as insulting "Werewolves In London" with his lack of musical talent. Kid Rock has followed the trends of music for his whole career. I.E.: He was rapping when the Limp Bizkit era was prime, he was rock when that started to come around, and now he's country when it's getting more popular. He's a complete sell out and a horrible artist. Kid Rock should be on the list of top 25 worst artists of all time. God I hate him so much.

Katy Perry is my guilty pleasure.

 

 

 

Her newest song, Hot and Cold, is better than I Kissed A Girl, I reckon.

Thankyou. It's nothing short of sacrilege, and he's a douche.

Kid Rock, good God. He once thought he had to 'save' rock and 'n roll, right?

 

 

 

I would loved to have seen that scene, with you and your girlfriend. :

>Pendulum

 

 

 

Stopped reading there.

Slipknot didn't exactly meet my expectations with their new album.

Weren't you ardently defending that album when it was released?

I'm currently blasting this album in my sound system in my dorm which I just moved into. I've had at least 10 people drop by and give props.

Why not? It's not exactly like their other albums in the sense of song structure.

I rest my case.

That amount of mainstream garbage made me projectile vomit all over my screen :?

Its alright. I can fall asleep to Slipknot. Just throwing that out there.

 

I can fall asleep to anything, a couple months ago I actually found listening to Slayer at a low volume helped me sleep.

 

 

 

I like the song Vendetta from the new Slipknot album a lot more then Psychosocial, mostly because the bass drum sounding like a snare roll is epic.

 

 

 

EDIT:

 

Live Your Live > Disturbia

 

(I know LYL is T.I., but Rihanna is in it.)

hmmm...i don't agree. 3

These are just my picks.

 

 

 

I'm actually surprised I have that much mainstream in there.
