I love, love, love rock music despite my "what are you listening to" contributions that often contradict that.
I would say though this is very definitely rock and not metal.
I like some of these ... a lot. Hawkwind is a big favourite as is Motörhead. For ACDC though it would have to be A Whole Lotta Rosie.
What?! No Guns & Roses!!
I'd like to have seen some more modern stuff in there too. The bit where rock meets metal head on:
Queens of the Stone Age Stone Sour 3 Doors Down Nickelback ... I love Nickelback Creed ... I bloody love Creed System of a Down Five Finger Death Punch Theory of a Deadman ... ditto love TOAD Audioslave Linkin Park
We've seen a few of those Tink mentioned, Linkin' Park I've lost count, I absolutely love LP! I suppose I assumed you were thinking of classic rock rather than the more modern stuff, but, yes, all those too! In which case I could add maybe Enter Shikari (Love them too and seen several times), DragonForce, Of Mice and Men (recent stuff), Biffy Clyro (possibly), Nine Inch Nails (going back a bit). Most of these are Rock/something or other though, so the lines are blurring.
I think I might have to share my title with Miss Tink.
Have to say that with all this dizzy crap I have discovered that my love of rock music is probably responsible for my knackered hearing. No rock concerts for me from here on in. I've been warned. Also I need to cut down in my headphone wearing and turn the music down in my car to preserve my hearing at its current "mild to moderate" loss. I've even been told to wear ear plugs at the cinema and parties where there's loud music.
When I was teaching many moons ago, I had a class of students ask me about what music I liked. I said mostly rock/metal and reeled off some of your original list and some more recent stuff. One student, who thought he was god's gift to teachers, said he bet I'd never heard of NIN (using just initials). I reached into my bag and pulled out tapes (for my car - it was old) of their first two albums. I went up in a lot of students' estimation that day - including his!!
Wow, that's a real bugger Tink. Although I suppose the consequences are dire enough to make it slightly easier to take.
I can hear well enough really EB and had I not had this dizzy stuff I would never have known. Most of us only go for hearing tests when its way past mild to moderate. At least I know. )
The hardest for me is the headphones I think. I wear them for hours on a weekend but I've never worn the in ear ones which are the worst apparently.
I'm not much for the cinema so that's no hardship.
Its the car that's my real problem. I have an amazing Dolby sound system cranked down to "can you hear me mother" lol.
I do like some Audioslave as I was a massive fan of Soundgarden, never really got to grips with the fusion betweem them and Rage Against The Machine but stuck with Audioslave for Chris Cornells voice alone
QOTSA are again in my collection but I preferred Josh Holmmes earlier stuff with Kyuss
