Title: Filling Up An Ipod
Post by: pedro on November 01, 2004, 08:41:00 PM
I'm looking into buying an ipod but I dont really listen to that much music anymore (kind of ironic since  that used to be the only thing I did and I even played in a pretty popular local band)
but anyway.
I'm not gonna buy one if I cant even halfway fill it up so I'm trying to build my music library a little
got any suggestions for bands I should give a try?

I like alot of different stuff so I'm open toalmost anything except for country which gets all over my nerves.

I like alot of stuff like the chili peppers, bush, etc but am open to anything.

thanks guys
pedro

I had the same dilemma, I wanted a new mp3 player when my 1.5GB Muvo2 broke but thought both the normal ipods were just overkill IMO. So I bought a mini iPod as they're only 4GB and look 10 times better too.

It's all very well having 15, 20, 40GB storage or whatever but I've had my my mini for 3 weeks now and there's still songs I haven't heard, and it's only 2/3 full with about 580 tracks. I rip mp3s at the hightest possible quality using RazorLame (VBR Extreme Setting). I couldn't give a shit about file size, it's quality I want.

I have over 3000 songs on my PC but that doesn't mean I have to have them on a portable storage device to take with me all the time. I just take what I know I'll listen to and wont skip over. There's an old saying - Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. I think this is quite apt for these mega sized storage devices. Just my opinion though.

Anyway, have a look in this thread I just started for some ideas...

I use my Iriver as my computer music drive, I hook it up thru the usb and play the songs on winamp, keeps my 30 gig laptop HDD uncluttered with music. I also hook it up to my car headunit, so all those songs come in handy on long trips.

Baner - I can see your point about your laptop. No use using all the space for songs. I only need a mp3 player to drown out the other people on the bus journey to work. It's amazing how irritating bus people can become when you don't have music. The same people speaking the same shit 5 days a week.

Pedro - Hey man, what type of band were you in and what instrument did you play?

Pedro - Hey man, what type of band were you in and what instrument did you play?

we played alot of alternative rock music
things like bush, nirvana, smashing punpkins, greenday, etc...
thats what we started out with...
but our songs were really nothing like any of those bands...
our guitarist was deeply rooting in bluegrass and play some of the craziest solos and pick faster than anyone I have ever heard, so that played alot into a music,
versus were usually composed of intricuge finger picking seading into a fast paced, ligtly destorted chorus...dont really know of any bands that we sounded like though

i played bass guitar and on occasion (in the studio) the drums

thanks for the suggestions guys, so far I've got like almost two gigs on it
heres what I've got:

bush (every album)
Red Hot Chili Peppers (all recent albums)
placebo (a couple complete albums and a few random songs)
311 (greatest hits album)
teancious d (entire album)
if I can get my hands on some soundguardan im gonna put that on there

Most bands mentioned totally suck but Id like to see a list of your favorite bands.

No need to list any song individually because if a band only has 1 good song then they suck.

Well indie music has its gems but most bands that are indie do indeed stay indie because they arent very good.

To say the bands already mentioned arent real music just because you like to be a loner inst fair.I say most of them suck because they do but you probably dont like them because they are mainstream.
Am I right?

You are right, because mainstream implies that they are sellouts and no longer care about making music, please feel free to name one quality mainstream artist. wink.gif

guys I asked for band suggestions, not for you guys to come in here and shit all ove rmy thread with your "i'm so indie" bullshit.

Everythingbutananswer...you are about the least "indie" a person can be you fucking poser.
I have alot of friends who are "indie" and they dont go around talking about how indie they are...because being "indie"  has to do with rejecing lables and stereotypes, and by going around screaming, "im so indie" you are turning that into a label itsself which is the exact oposite of the word....and not listening to a band because it is quote "mainstream" is retarded.   I like some "indie" music and some 'mainstream' music.
it isnt about every thing mainstream being shitty, its about you being a fucking dumbass

recomend me some of thses "indie" bands at least if you are going to come in here and shit in my thread

rotfl.gif When did I say I was "indie"? When did I say I was a part of the "k3wl" indie scene? Last I remember I just suggested some quality artists who happen to be unknown you tools because you don't know real talent for shit. Just because you don't know about an artist doesn't make them indie you fucking douche (as they could be mainstream elsewhere), and you are right, I don't listen to most mainstream, because it is tasteless, talentless bullshit, all of those "artists" are fucking puppets of the major labels. I already recommended some "indie" groups a few posts back.

If indie performers spent less time putting bags on their heads and jacking each other off, and started focusing on their music, it could be real quality. Unfortunately that won't happen.

Good main-stream bands?

Sage Francis
Rancid
Rammstein
Die Toten Hosen
Streetlight Manifesto
Trans-Siberian Orchestra

Quality music you say? Hmmm, I'll check them out when I get home. I'm interested to know your definition of so called "real" music.

It's all subject to opinion at the end of the day. There's no use getting into some school boy argument about "you don't know real music" etc. No one will ever win an argument where peoples opinions are involved. You like what you like, bollocks to what anyone else says about it. I'd rather spend time enjoying my stuff than dissing someone else for theirs.

State Radio (not sure if you can find them yet, but check them out on www.stateradio.com to see if you like them)

Just a few of my current favorites.

ROFL:

Everyone go to that VHS or BETA site and listen to the song in the background of the flash. Now imagine that douche walking down the street dancing to that. Enough said.
However, buying an Ipod was one of the best things i ever did. It made me go out there and find music that i liked besides the rock/rap stuff i was listening to. I found out that i love electrona and many other generas. I like

The Prodigy
The Crystal Method
311
Jet
Rage Against the Machine
Audioslave
Velvet Revolver
The Doors
Pink Floyd
Cky
Deftones
Radiohead
Chevelle
Metallica
Pantera
Korn
U2
Pitchshifter
Marilyn Manson
NWA
Public Enemy
 And alot more. The above artists all make quality music.
