alternatives to Beyerdynamic DT250s
Recently bought a pair of the 80 ohm version. Terrifically comfortable, but they suffered from egregious channel imbalance, with the left driver nearly twice as loud as the right at some frequencies, so they'll have to go back. Reluctant to go with another pair of the same once I get...- breadcrumbs

Do headphones plug your ears?
I misread the topic title as "Do headphones plug into your ears?". I thought the TC had become a little confused.- breadcrumbs

Need some good old Hard Rock:
Interpol and The Strokes are not what you're looking for. Both are indie pop-rock; not hard rock by any means. That's not to say that you will not enjoy them, although you may find them a little tame in comparison to the bands that you have been listening to. I'm afraid I can't really help in...- breadcrumbs

Can't listen to Godspeed You! Black Emperor on a beautiful summer day
I don't find Godspeed depressing or wintery at all. Maybe the opening quarter of f#a# is a little heavy, but I think Lift Your Skinny Fists is quite an uplifting album.- breadcrumbs

Looking for a specific type of Metal:
Oxes. Fun instrumental metal; no vocals and genuinely innovative (although totally off the wall). Isis too. I suppose you could also look into Sunn O))), cookie monster vocals there are few are far between. Btw, I'm on the lookout for the same thing, so thanks for making the topic.- breadcrumbs

Under The Iron Sea - Keane
Dreadful, to be honest. Of course, I make the disclaimer that this is only my opinion. Dull instrumentation, bad lyrics, no pace, and it's indistinguishable from most of the rest of todays British "alternative" rock bands. Thank goodness I didn't buy it (borrowed it from a friend).- breadcrumbs

Worst Band ever
You'll pardon my musical blashemy, but I genuinely don't think Nickelback are that bad. I certainly wouldn't buy an album, but at least they have their own distinctive vocal style and some sense of quiet-loud dynamics. I should add: unlike the utterly awful, immature blink-182.- breadcrumbs

Husker Du made the rest of my music sound boring. :(
I have Sister and Daydream Nation, but I think Sonic Nurse is better than both of them. :P I'm not much of a Sonic Youth fan anyway. I've heard of the Replacements, but don't own anything by them, and I've not heard of Soul Asylum or fIREHOSE before. I'll be sure to check those artists out. Ta...- breadcrumbs

Husker Du made the rest of my music sound boring. :(
Yeah. I finally got Zen Arcade, only 22 years late, and it's good, you know. I'm pretty sure I've seen some Husker Du fans around here, so lets discuss. Just insane pacing, and I love the experimental interludes. What album should I purchase next? And on a completely unrelated note, since...- breadcrumbs

Why do I love Interpol so much?
It is a nice CD, but I always felt that it was a little overrated. Stella is great though.- breadcrumbs

Stars - Set Yourself on Fire
I like Set Yourself On FIre better than Heart, but they're both pretty close in terms of quality. Nice indie pop that doesn't get tired as quickly as many of the other artists in the genre. You've probably heard Architecture in Helsinki, Camera Obscura, Broken Social Scene, Feist... but if you...- breadcrumbs

eargasm warning
Kid A is by far the best Radiohead album. The Bends and Pablo Honey struck me as generic rock, and I found OK Computer long and boring. Amnesiac is weaker musically and thematically than Kid A, and I haven't heard Hail To The Thief yet, but I probably won't anytime soon.- breadcrumbs
