From the OP I couldn't help but think of the REM song "It's the End of the World as We Know It..." (is that right? with the ellipsis too?). Not for the genre you were reffering to, but just the idea of uplifting view of turmoil and desparation. Maybe thats just me, but for semi-uplifting...

Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrison Hard to necesarrily say as my favorite of all time, but its definitely up there, and definitely gets me every time. A pretty generic fave, but hey, I'm a pretty generic guy.

Ask a number of people who like the Beatles (most people in other words) what their favourite Beatles album is. If they say Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, then ask them their 3 favourite beatles songs. 2nd test: Ask the same people (or similar people) their favourite member of the...

Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyd

Played piano for many years when I was really young (started when I was like 4 or something). I got pretty good by the time I stopped (about 13 or so) taking lessons for it. After that I pretty much just stopped playing, and my skills were gone. I was never great at it, but I could play some...

The End - John Murphy (28 days OST)

waiting for another 15 years to be born...

a nice big set of headphones, and just wear them around your neck when you're not using them. Big clunky headphones are key. Either that or some IEMs or buds is what I say.

I listen to my ibuds on the go sometimes. They're the ones bundled with 5th gen ipods (but my ipod is 2nd gen). Not bad for a quick listen to pop in and out, but not great. I personally don't have much experience with other earbuds (minus a few cheapies, that I feel the iBuds outbeat them all)...

those game things aren't exactly vending machines.

What you'd really want for competitive online gaming fps games (like CS and BF2) is a good pair of neutral headphones like HD280s. For single player gaming and such you'd probably want a more bass boosted headphone for really feeling the explosions and gunfire. For what you want though, I'd...

a new game that I thought up as a result of too much time with too little to do at my job. Anyways, here's the basic idea. Someone names a band, and someone fairly familiar with that band, names their favourite album by that band. The person who just answered, is then able to name a band...

Quote: Originally Posted by monolith Excellent choice with that Godspeed. Of all their work, I think Moya (first track on Slow Riot), is their best. I actually prefer the 2nd track with the guy talking about his speeding ticket.

Try some post rock: Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas (not my favorite Godspeed album, but the best place to start with them imo) Explosions in the Sky - The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place (or How Strange, Innocence) Some non-post rock (well-known, well...

Would the benefits of burn in, in general be similar to the theory of diminishing marginal returns, or would it be more a peaked graph (as in would it start out that the first 10 hours would be the most beneficial for headphones, and then the next 10 hours slightly less beneficial and so on, or...

Newest 4: Spoon - Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation Godspeed - Slow Riot for New Zero Kanada Built to Spill - You in Reverse Enjoying them all.

nice I'm gonna have to grab that at some point (when I get to grabbing about 1000 other albums I'm in need of)

Anyone got any good recommendations for any Jazz fushion (artists/bands/ablums). Don't really know much about the genre, but am looking to give it a shot (after hearing one song, that I don't know the name of, that someone told me was jazz fushion).

Tommy for me as my favorite who album. Btw, did the Who ever do a studio recording of Magic Bus? What album? (Not live versions.)
