as a side note, there seems to be a way too small number of general music-related threads/posts here on sbi (as opposed to games or especially movies, for example), are the music listeners here a minority or just reluctant to write about it? it would be nice if some of you created 'official sbi threads' for different music genres (preferably for those you listen the most to), similarly to what has been done for metal music (see the first page for some ideas regarding the thread contents possibilities):

examples:
SB-Innovation official rock thread
SB-Innovation official electronic music thread
SB-Innovation official rap/hip-hop thread
SB-Innovation official pop/mainstream music thread
SB-Innovation official other music genres thread
...

I'm personnally not too much on metal myself, slik. However, each to his own, yes?

Speaking for myself only, I prefer the chill-out or downtempo genre.
I really like the small amount of albums ( only 2 infact :frown: I know..what a bummer ).
from Samantha James. I also really like the voice from Sarah Brightman. I remember the 1st time I heard her voice, I almost felt I was spell bound.
Other artists that I personnally like are Jesse Cook. I like his Flamenco music. There are of course many others that Jesse Cook makes. I believe that I have most of his albums. :smile:

There are some great suggestions there.. I will take a look.
I personally prefer some slow things, but it's always good to try new things...(not that much lol).

black metal babysitting cracks me up every time, haha

just as a clarification: this thread is meant to contain all kinds of music. please feel free to list stuff of whatever genre you like

the best genre is Metal all kinds of metal from Accept till ZZ-Top (in my opinion is trash the best art of metal)


bang that head that doesn't bang
