    Music: what makes you tick?

    There's certain elements in music that give you the wow factor. Sometimes it's just an instrument. Sometimes it's that super special guitar solo. Sometimes it's a fucking polka break. But, what, overall, is the sound that makes you feel real when you listen to music? For me, it's moody minor...

    recommend Altmer some cool music

    Because I am looking for something new. I've listened to fuckloads of metal in every form or shape, and I'll always dig that; no questions asked. But I need other directions. Genres I love outside of heavy metal right now include prog rock in various forms (everything from old school 70s...

I also heard the new one, American Doll Posse (which is good but a...

    Queen (the band)

    So I've been getting into them a little more lately. I was wondering which album of theirs to get first: I have Greatest Hits I and A Night at the Opera, but I know they shifted styles through their career: what album should I go for? I was considering Queen II since that's closest to my musical...
