hughsie  said about 5 years ago  or at  12:24PM on Friday, July 14 2006 in music

Judge people's personalitys based on their top 5 bands

... badly, obviously this is all in jest so please dont take is seriously. im sure you all get the idea, but for the sake of clarity here's an example so its even more difficult for you to fuck up.

Person A
* Nirvana
* Alice in chains
* Pearl Jam
* Soundgarden
* Screaming Trees

Person B
"this is no longer 1990, Kurt's Dead, Grunge is dead, you dont live in Seattle. Just pass the mixing bowl."

Its a bad example, but im sure y'all get the picture? its not that hard to do, dont be dicks about it, i know its going to be really hard for some people to resist piping up straight away with 'hurr hurr hurr coolsie chat'. Ill start because i like to throw myself to wolves. In no particular order, and not of all time, just what im listening to at the moment.

  • Brian Jonestown Massacre
  • Pavement
  • Gorky's Zygotic Mynci
  • Tunng
  • Boards of Canada

"it's probably in an faq somewhere but i can't be fucked looking"

it's at the bottom of every comment box ... "can we html?"


hughsie  said about 5 years ago:

HA. ill pay that hillsong.

Just because three of your top five favourite bands have dead members doesnt mean you have to be an angsty. Go listen to some more singer songwriters drivel and stare moodily out the window at the cloudy vista.

JoseJones, you're a melbourne muso who isn't talented enough to construct normal songs or melodies so reverted to noise rock. You and your friends only listen to each others bands and you champion each other as the most important thing in rock music since the beatles.


sister  said about 5 years ago:

Richard and Linda Thompson
Fairport Convention
Pentangle
Joni Mitchell
Eddy Current Suppression Ring

Vines fag.


dickfacekillah  said about 7 months ago:

@BigBoysSocks - You discovered music at uni and dated a member of one of the country's biggest bands at the time. He did the dirty on you and you moved oversees not long after where music was not as important to you. Your partner (and father of your child) is a drummer who introduced you to a lot of new music that you now enjoy. Bridge Over Trouble Water was the first song that was played to your daughter and you quietly cry tears of happiness when you hear it.

Genius. Pure genius.

Bam. Aside from the spelling. You know how I feel about poor spelling.

I am an atrocious typist, however.

You're an old fart at heart. A BORING OLD FART at heart. Your apartment is mostly grey-white and the decor is bland at best. You may or may not have a yuppie husband/wife. Actually, that's what you are; you were someone who really liked music, but you became a yuppie and you never, ever, under any circumstances, go to a gig that costs less than 70 dollars to get in. You also drive a really expensive, but really boring car.

What you need is for a man/woman to come into your life and STEAL YOU AWAY from your significant other, and show you life of daring and adventure that you left behind. Once you do that, your list will look like this;

The Frogs
Devo
Melvins
Ween
TISM

and the sting in the tail is that you'll go on to have kids who were like the conservative yuppie version of you!

NB: I am totally talking out of my arse and know misatokaka personally and he/she's none of the above. Total Confest vegan dreadlocks barefoot down Smith St out the front of Friends of the Earth type, if you have to know.

Hmmm. I meant to write ''listen'', not ''listed'', which may be somewhat confusing in a thread about lists.
