And Libertine - just stop naming all the best bands and leave stuff for the rest of us!

Has anyone mentioned Sonic Youth yet? Grandaddy? Flaming Lips? Neil Young? Howlin' Wolf?

For slow, relaxing music:

Imogen Heap

She's a bit more than that.

For good mood and high-energy music:

Innerpartysystem

Pendulum

Enter Shikari

For rock/Punk-rock:

Fall out boy

Foo Fighters

Linkin Park

Paramore

30 Seconds To Mars

For slow, relaxing music:

Imogen Heap

Neyo - year of the gentleman album

Jay Z

Lil Wayne

T.I

For pure quality new stuff:

Kings of Leon - Only by the Night

Got all of these

[Jay]

Never heard of that but I'll look it up. Did you by any chance go to see Mark Lanegan and Isobel Campbell when they played at Rock City last Dec? That was spine-tinglingly good!

I take it you also have The Mark Lanegan Band stuff?

Has anyone mentioned Sonic Youth yet? Grandaddy? Flaming Lips? Neil Young? Howlin' Wolf?

No I didn't

The Gutter Twins is an album by both Greg Dulli and Mark Lanegan together and it's amazing stuff!!

[Trav Le Bleu]

For pure quality new stuff:

Kings of Leon - Only by the Night

Hardly new - get Youth and Young Manhood, their 1st album. Only by the night is their 4th album now.

Molly's chamber gonna change your mind. All their albums quality actually.

You tried Last Shadow Puppets?

Bullet for My Valentine?

The Used?

Last two are a bit emo so doubt you'll like them. Try it

The Used are my favourite band

[Jimmy2Drags]

Was watching the 'Folk America' thing with Seasick Steve on BBC4.

There was a chap called CW Stoneking who did a track called 'The love me or die'....it's some kinda hokum-calypso-murder-ballad.

Probably not to everyone's taste, but to me, it's brilliant.

You havent really got a clue of whats emo have you, I mean I havent the greatest knowledge but still.

[StanSP]

What is your definition of emo?

[Samilktray]

What is your definition of emo?

I wouldnt wanna define it, but Id say Bullet were Metal.

[StanSP]

I wouldnt wanna define it, but Id say Bullet were Metal.

Fair enough.

What i did hate though, was when the Daily Mail labelled the emo bands (My Chemical Romance and the like) were to blame for the unusual spate of suicides in Bridgend, Wales.

Annoyed me that did

[Libertine]

I'd say BFMV were more Wannabe Metal.

Ooooh, get me.

Leave

Bullet are a Metalcore/Emocore band, a genre of music created which includes the likes of Trivium and Atreyu, earlier bullet sounds a bit like they are ripping off trivium, which is pretty crap, the new stuff is pretty cool though.

Metal contains many subgenres and any that contain 'core' are usually the ones that are stereotyped as scene or emo. These are variations of other types of metal to include a slightly different element to it. Grindcore is basically grind but with a slightly more commercial sound, Metalcore is a softer and more harmonic metal, Deathcore is a softer version of death metal ect ect...

Bullet are technically both metal and emo and are pretty cool, they are playing wacken and although i think they are decent they are way out of their depth there and will have an extremely poor crowd reaction.

if you like bands such as Bullet and Enter Shikari then i could suggest Atreyu, Trivium, Bring Me The Horizon, Killswitch Engage (these guys are pretty awesome, very different across all their stuff, earlier stuff was more hardcore with their old singer, the new stuff is pretty much unique in its style but is probably metalcore) Caliban or As I Lay Dying.

other bands i would recommend would be Goldfinger, Reel Big Fish, Less Than Jake, Capdown and Sixpointfive, just on the off chance that you like ska/punk, very upbeat music and some of it is very off the wall

[Part Of The Crowd]

I Am Ghost are also well worth a listen, i would try them before any of the bands above

[Mark]

They are absolutely awful.

YES AND YES - Good recommendation .

I only found out about a month ago that Bring Me the Horizon got their name after watching Pirates of the Caribbean (they changed one word) .

But yeah, good shout

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Alexisonfire

Brand New

Head Automatica

Glassjaw

White Lies

Friendly Fires

[Part Of The Crowd]

They are absolutely awful.

oddly i like them, not my usual taste at all

foxforever, i personally think that both the bands you highlighted have pricks for lead vocals  but the music they played before they got big was good, they sold out since

I watched that too, enjoyed it. Thats probably why I'm listening to my robert johnson and woody records and just have bought seasick steves album.

ok lads, if you think i don't know who trivium and atreyu are then you're mad ,

seen reel big fish live! good band

[Part Of The Crowd]

i don't know what i'm working with you see 

Reel Big Fish are very good live, i was tempted to go to see them in oxford in febuary but i thought seeing them 5 times in 2 years was rather extravagant, and i need all the money i can have at the moment

In Flames are pretty good, its got lighter across the years but Reroute to Remain is a very good album

Only For The Weak is a great song as is suburban me

[Libertine]

Metal is the most ridiculously overly analysed genre ever.

CORRR. Let's listen to some Black Melodic Death Doom Drone Metal guys.
