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

people do this to me every day.
propagandhi
iron maiden
otis redding

Seriously, just because you've seen DIG and read Pitchfork doesn't mean your attempts to be cool are working.
Okay:
* Augie March
* Elliott Smith
* The Beatles
* Tom Waits
* The Zombies
1st:PIXIES
2nd:BLACK SABBATH
3rd:SPACEMEN 3
4th:SONIC YOUTH

i may post if someone tells me how to do bullet points. it's probably in an faq somewhere but i can't be fucked looking. did i read somewhere that bjm were touring this year?
"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?"
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.
Neutral Milk Hotel
REM
Springsteen
The Clash
The Beatles
Right now, probably:
josejones is a 20 something wannabe post-ironic hipster who's too insecure to post his real top 5 bands, which are really steve miller band, lynryd skynryd, tom petty, wings and and dire straits.
Creedence Clearwater Revival, Pixies, NWA, Misfits and Celtic Frost.
not all time, but just kinda generally right now.....
Judge me god dam it!
pere ubu, the replacements, patti smith, beck ,acdc
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.
right now?
Richard and Linda Thompson
Fairport Convention
Pentangle
Joni Mitchell
Eddy Current Suppression Ring
Fucken hell, blake!

Eluvium
Stars of the Lid

Arab Strap.
My my, I am depressed.
You used to worked in a music stores and addicted to drugs or/and booze. You don't know how to spell and go to bakery all day long.
Vines fag.
@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.
Ministry
Aphex Twin
Khanate
Black Sabbath
Tool
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.
ooh, get me.
Plastics, Brian Eno, Chris Knox/Tall Dwarfs etc , Deerhoof, Magnetic Fields
Love
Bonnie Prince Billy
The Sea & Cake
MF Doom
Model 500
Bump. I haven't got time right now, but this is possibly the best thread ever.
Official M+N Top 5 Band list formula:
indie band
indie band
60s band that may as well be indie
credible underground hip hop act because you listed to a diverse range of music by artists of all races
indie band
Ouch. The truth is a hard pill to swallow, unvisible. Talking solely for myself here.
ohhhhh do me!
in no particular order:
brutal truth
eyvind kang
dirty three
adam simmons (everything and anything)
can't decide between burzum and portishead
and I believe the only death metal album anyone needs to own is deicide once upon the cross.
10CC
Internal Rot
Embers
Strapping Young Lad
The Residents
And aawaaaay we go!
Hmmm. I meant to write ''listen'', not ''listed'', which may be somewhat confusing in a thread about lists.
Bump. Too drunk to contribute.
I'm not doing it again until you tell me how your wife felt about my treatment of her the other night, 'big boy'.
Stars of the Lid
Boards of Canada
Deerhunter
Neurosis
Burial
