Alternative and rock music-

[Helena.]

I was looking through the music thread and i noticed there wasn't many conversations about rock and alternative music, I don't know if many people on here like the style of music but i'll give it a go!
I thought we could start the thread by saying our favorite artists/bands - mine are Paramore and My Chemical Romance.

Mine's all over the place as I like a good mix of music but when it comes to alternative rock I've always liked a little bit of the cure and have been aiming to get hold of more of their stuff, same goes to r.e.m.

hey babe xx

Paramore + MCR are the two bands I grew up with though :-(

THEY ARE AMAZING AREN'T THEY HELENA!!!

MCR was the first band I ever saw live, I had a hoodie to proove it, but I left it in a pizzeria in Paris, but they blew me away anyway, doing all the fist pumping etc. Never deserved the hate they got :-( this was when I thought it'd be cool to be emo though, now I think it's cool to be a hipster!!!! (70% joking? dno)

mcr were my most favourite band in the world with the used in 2004/5. never did the paramore thing.

hipsterzzzz

I like My Chemical Romance, but I like a bit of everything. It's funny but most bands that get labelled as emo hate the word. I can understand why with a lot of their lyrics but isn't emo just emotional. Isn't Lady In Red by Chris Deburge (or something) emotional. I've never understood the label.

My Chemical Romance has also suffered the problem a lot of other bands do. They tried to change their style a bit, bands who don't often get called boring - people have often said some of coldplay's albums are just too similar, but bands who do often get complaints because their style isn't the same. People who start listening to their new style, even if they start to also like their old often then get classed as newbies, people who haven't been fans forever and so on.

Yet look at two amazing bands in my opinion. AC/DC and The Hives are the same as they where, well the hives did experiment a little with some songs in their last album. They are still popular so it can work.
