They're two awesome bands from you country. Those are really underground bands. Here in Italy the situation is similar to Canada, with Nickelback, Evanescence and the likes getting overplayed on the radio stations.
Glad to know that you love AC/DC...


Sorry but I can't understand what you were saying here.

I'm just saying.....you(the fan) can't put other peoples music tastes down....when you don't even know what your favorite bands listen to. Those are all FAMOUS songs that I can promise any alternative band, metal, pop whatever band would love to have been part of that history.

Don't just think bands pop out of the ground....everyone has influences....and it's not always what you expect it to be. So going around saying you hate this and that....well surprise what if your favorite band says well my influence is Neil Diamond! lol....isn't that wicked that your favorite band is open minded....maybe you(the fan) should be too.....it's such a awesome experience to be open minded and explore.

Don't claim to be a fan of music if you are just a fan of what you like lol. Then just say I like metal...or whatever. I don't like when people say they are fans of music but then say they hate this and that.....it's a party pooper.

oh ya sorry don't know them yet ! lol I've been busy haven't been listening to whats going on and stuff.

Oh ya I didn't mean you as in you I mean the fan


Oh ya this is my 2 favorite songs EVER....despite liking metal and rock and whatever. I can hear these 2 songs anytime anywhere.....and I feel great I could say a lot of other songs.....but no songs make me feel this good....it's that simple.

I love alot of classic rock. For modern bands I like RHCP and alot of the jammier groups. moe., Dispatch, OAR, Umphrey's.

My favorite band is Dave Matthews Band. They get a bad rap by alot of people because of the hippy fan base I feel but they make spectacular music.

Victoria you didn't answer my question. Do you know the bands I was talking about before?
Also, thank you for the videos... classic rock is always good (I especially like Creedence Clearwater Revival).

Good to see that there's still folks who are serious about their music.

My vote was for "Rock". Pretty broad category. To narrow it a little, I like what we Americans would call Classic Rock. Still pretty broad, goes from Pink Floyd to .38 Special, from Jethro Tull to AC/DC. Since I'm actually a couple years older than Mick Jagger, I'm probably no more likely to change my preferences now than he is.
Having said that, must admit that every now and then I accidentally hear something from another genre that really blows me away. Case in point, the group "Live" who I guess would be considered Alternative Rock(?). Anyway, great group and I truly like their stuff. A good example is this version of "Lightning Crashes" on YouTube. If at all possible, give it a look/listen.

For those of you who'd like to "broaden your horizons" based on what you already like, you might want to check out Pandora â€" http://www.pandora.com
The site is very interesting…you ‘seed’ it with a song or artist you like, and it then plays songs similar in style. Their secret sauce is the Music Genome Project, a team of actual professional and semi-professional musicians who ‘tag’ songs â€" it’s not based on the record industry genres or classification at all. The tags they use are very detailed, including stuff like: strong male vocals, minor key chord progressions, varied dynamics, story-telling lyrics, prominent drums, etc. You add as many seeds as you like, and they find stuff that has similarities. It's almost impossible to objectify something that's so inherently subjective so it’s not perfect, and you will definitely find stuff you do NOT like, but it’s a pretty new and innovative way to explore music. Check it out.

That site you linked is US-Only.
I use Last.fm instead, which is a completely free site which, from what I can get from you description, is pretty similar to Pandora, and is available worldwide.
