[ts69even3]

Listening to music while playing is almost a must for me... I have a huge variety of music that I like, mainly a metal fan, but the aggressive nature of that music doenst lend to playing smart patient poker... I tend to listen to reggae, rap, country, electronica... I really try and find something with a good beat and flow which seems to help my reads and plays... I dont know why but when u got a good beat it makes u feel good and u seem to play better

 

[Sheepodog]

I haven't heard a music style I don't like, but while I play online I seem to play the blues...Hope that's no indication of what I expect to happen when I play!!...LMAO!!:thrasher:

Del Shannon, Vannesa Mae and Rod Stewart? A little bit of me has just died!

Del shannon you can't knock.

Vanessa Mae and Rod Stewart I have no excuses for. I got the 80s bug as well as the classical bug lately

Don't worry, I listened to enough eazy to make it ok to listen to classical for the next five years.

 

[Stick66]

Um ya, very diverse.

Bonus points for having the Pixies and the Dead Milkmen in there.

Negative points for Duran Duran and Rihanna.

LOL. Well, I only like that Rihanna song because it has the riff from New Order's "Blue Monday". And I've been listening to Duran Duran since before you knew you could do more with cards than stick them in your bicycle spokes. I also met them in 1993.

 

[Lo-Dog]

Bands that happen to be on my player at the moment in alpha order:

Beastie Boys
D.R.I
The Dillinger Escape plan
Faith No More
Kyuss
Mudvayne
Mushroomhead
NIN
Primus
Protest The Hero
Queens of the Stone Age
Slipknot
Stone Sour
Sublime
SOAD
Tool


Much much more, just set it to shuffle and away I go.

OK I'll admit I listened to Duran Duran a bit in the 80's.

dude, nsync is the best, you can't deny their talent. Beatles are like old and stuff.

as i said, take their best song and compare it to something like hey jude, or let it be. it's night and day. look at any top band list of all time, something like rolling stones magazine, almost every list is going to have the beatles as number 1. i doubt nsync would be in the top 20 in any list. what the beatles accomplished as a band has not yet even been challenged by anyother band. just look at when they held the top 5 spots at once of the american top 100, simply amazing and no band has even come close to this.

Not a big beatle fan (they are old and stuff) but I do believe mr chuck was pulling your chain.

At least he better be, respect for him will plummet if not.

 

[ChuckTs]

Sigh. 'twas a joke, g_l. I hope you're second-level chain-yanking me here

[ChuckTs]

I would hope you would both like send me bomb letters if I were serious.

i agree that much of modern music is such crap. i always use the song "this is why i'm hot" (if that's the title) as an example of this. this is why im hot, this is why im hot, this is why, this is why, this is why im hot. just absolute crap music. wish i was around for the golden age the beatles, rolling stones, bob dylan, elvis, and so many more brilliant artists.

 

[Gallo]

i can't believe nobody has mentioned the beatles. they're without a doubt the best band ever. just amazing song after amazing song, with so many different styles.

ehh agree with you. I mentioned them in my first post

 

[greener_lax]

ehh agree with you. I mentioned them in my first post

ya, i realized that after posting my original comment lol. i guess i was more pissed that not more people mentioned them. the fab four just don't get the credit today, that they deserve.

"in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make"
- the beatles

 

[vanquish]
