I dont use my music to learn the meaning of life btw. I listen to mine before a match to get me pumped and focused. thats probly why i like songs like "niggas".

[youtube]1FZssvpLf0I[/youtube] this is biggie feat bob marley, one of my faves.

Fuck that... Cause of Death - Immortal Technique shits on all other rap in any sense tbh... Its like PE yet way more to the point and a heavier approach.

I dont really like latin rappers. I prefer when songs change pace too, immortal teqhnique seems to just be one pace throughout the whole song.

Thats what i meant about that particular song... Harlem Streets, The Point Of No Return and The Cause Of Death are all good examples of pace change, etc. I don't only like bands for their meaning, hence my liking of bands like Parkway Drive, Caliban and Carpathian... I just find it very important in rap, because its about the vocal abilities, which includes lyrical content and meaning.

Top 3 in no particular order:
1.The Pretender- Foo Fighters

2.Thunderstruck- ACDC

3.Too Much, Too Young, Too Fast- Airbourne

Their new album is soft. It's a sellout shell of what they used to be. Back when they started out they weren't 'politically driven' like this. And back then there was the first Gulf War and Bosnia to talk about. Their albums now are soft sellouts designed to appeal to the masses and appease the record company executives. Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate their latest offering, but in comparison to their old stuff...well, I wouldn't piss on it if it were on fire.
If you want poignant protest bands, you can't go past Rage Against The Machine or System Of A Down.

no doubt there stuff is not usually the same as before. but it still is classic music. i know its more politically driven, but its selling and its making a statement, which really many people in powere refuse to do. plus its definitely better than some other crap like soulja boy or some other rnb nonsense. most of those songs are about sex, drugs, drive bys and drinking. they dont have a moral to them whereas linkin park do. there instrumentals are awesome and the lyrics are heavy and strong allowing for that added impact to hit home.

Priestess - Lay Down

They closest they've had to their old stuff is Given Up which was the only song that I really enjoyed from their new album...Bleed it out wasn't bad either though. It's not 'classic' music...'classic' music is the likes of U2, Meatloaf, ACDC, RHCP. Linkin Park's closest to 'classic' is probably along the lines of Faint or In The End. It's only selling because they've changed their sound to sell albums in the mainstream and in effect have sold out and it counds heavily against them in my opinion, especially after some of the things they said around the time of Meteora.
I completely agree that it's better than your stereotypical superficiality generated by many of the hiphop & rnb artists toda. I hate to point out that their instrumentals take very little tallent though, their guitars are very basic riffs for the most part, when you break the music down it's incredibly simple (on a par with eminem borrowing rhythms from nursery rhymes).

Brenda's Got a Baby- Tupac Shakur

Any Hinder song. ;)

Are they those one hit wonders? sort off gone off the radar if your not interested in them.

I'll be ready - Sunblock. good video clip as well

into the night - santana with that guy from nickelback

Nah, they've got an album full of good songs. They had another song that sorta made waves, but not as big as "Lips of an Angel."

I told you he was queer...

One hit wonder just about covers it...they were better before they were on anybody's radar.

Chad Kroeger. And the only good thing about that song is Santana's Guitar...the rest is annoying.

Almost full of songs...i'm so tired of lips of an angel...and they also had another album before they made it 'big' i think you'll find.

Spiel Mit Mir - Rammstein.
Cyanide 2600 - Spineshank.
Happy Little Boozer - Korpiklaani.

'Put Your Lights On' FTW!

oh come on, you can't go wrong with Happy Little Boozer.

What about the babe in the video?

What about the babe?

The only good thing is her. Shit. Is there always someone there to hold your hand when you cross the road?

That song has a video now?? I don't know taht she's any better looking that some of the chicks I know...or the chicks form an assortment of other videos.

His mummy can't be with him all the time...but then he's not allowed to cross the road.

Creep N Crawl - Eazy-E - Str8 Off Tha Streetz Of Muthaphukkin Compton

'Cant Breathe' - The Herd (Hermitude Remix)

Not really, i used to like a bit of the hilltop hoods but it quickly went a bit gay, i mean look at that video, i like more gangsta rap and the stories and history behind it all, rivalries, beefs and stuff.

Please listen to this what do you think;

[youtube]btH4e0-WQAo[/youtube]

Yeah not bad. Not really my cup of tea. The first guy's OK but the second guy tears it up.

Aussie hip hop is more than Hilltop Hoods...

Thats just a diss but those are the sort of beats i like.

Gangsta Beat 4 Tha Street - Eazy-E, B.G. Knocc Out, Dresta & Menajahtwa

Your Shirt Would Look Better With A Columbian Neck-Tie - I Killed The Prom Queen - really wana see their farewell tour, would be sweet.
Save Me - Angelas Dish (from Central Coast, people should get out and see them - really really good stuff)
This Heart Attack - Faker (Grafton Primary remix) - actually pretty surprised at myself for liking this song...
Colours That You Shine - Crossfade
