there is also a strong coorolation between being an artist and being an alcoholic (for whatever reason).

i think artists, true artists, feel very much on the outside of society, they never fit in when they were children, and still arent able to "fit in" as adults. being an artist does mean you must strive to be different, to go against the norm... so they sort of put themselves on the outside anyway, but still, it must be very rough for them.

im really into 60s, 70s, and 90s rock. i love jam bands like the spin doctors, phish, dmb. i love jack johnson, g love, finley quaye, marley, ben harper, and beck. i love jazz and blues. i absolutely hate emo, punk, rap, country, and pop music. i also enjoy listening to folk music and occassionally techno. i love pearl jam, radiohead, cream, the bealtes, the doors, hendrix, floyd, blind melon, 311, weezer, janes addiction, ccr, oasis, the velvet underground, and many more. im a huge music junkie. if you ever want to talk music with me my aim s/n is :benjishoqs and my yahoo s/n is :benshoquist.

One singer I love is Bob Schneider his musical style at times borders on the questions of "What were you smoking to think that song up" to the depth of pain or any other emotion that can really hit a person hard. Not to mention he has helped several other bands and artists from Joe Rocker to Ugly Americans

I also Like some country I freely admit espeically the off the wall songs of Bigg and Rich all the way to the enduring Reba or Lorrie Morgan

Drum n Bass/Jungle, some rock, some rap, big into folk music right now, and 60's surf rock is pretty sweet.

I love death metal myself and ive recently gotten into a band called "Lamb of God"

If you havent heard them I suggest you go buy/burn a copy of their new album "ashes of the wake"

They're a little bitter but what metal band is'nt
If you have heard them and dont like them your not to be trusted!

Since the thread started saying that we could write about whatever if it involved music, then I would like to ask you what is your currently favorite song

And what do you think about tha song "Welcome to my life" - Simple Plan

I try to be as open as I can about music.. I'll try anything but I don't like everything. Ihip hop.. not your basic jay-z or 50 cent bullshit but real hip hop artists that don't get as much attention. It is an artform that's underestimated by countless numbers of people.. so many rock fans think it's just talking to a beat about drugs money and women.

I like old rock n roll as well. Little richard, the beach boys, the animals, ect. Also classic rock like the beatles, queen, the doors,pink floyd, hendrix, zeppelin and shit like that. I like metal too... everything from metallica to slayer to sepultura. Newer metal is less appealing to me but Anthrax is still making some good music and some death metal bands are really good at playing their instruments but the vocals are a little weird for me.

I like some punk rock though I'm not into some of the old punk stuff like a lot of people are like the ramones and the sex pistols and shit. I think the sex pistlos are ok and the clash are ok but I really like the Dead Kennedies, Minor Threat, Bad Religion, Nofx, and some other punk bands. I know those bands are all different from eachother but I only seem to like select punk bands.

I like some alternative rock like Nirvana and stuff but I really like bands like Incubus and Soundgarden more than I like Nirvana. As for more "poppish" music I really can't stand a lot of it like good charlotte or britney spears or stuff like that but some of the more poppish stuff I actually like.. like The Killers, The Shins, The Libertines, Green Day, stuff like that.

I would also like to add that I am a huge fan of Johnny Cash.

Here is a great song and video.
