Anyone have a musician they listen to whos views are similar to your own?

Warrel Dane of Nevermore. His views on Religion and the abomination that is humanity and reality are really quite amazing and deep. I love how he gets it across too with his lyrics. He's quite the excellent songwriter.

Any of you have a musician you admire in that way?

I don't even really know what any musician's views are.

Thish.

So you guys seriously don't give a rats arse about what your musicians write about?

My favorite musicians tend to leave things open to interpretation in their song lyrics, so I don't really know any of their specific political or social views.

No I do not. lol

If a musician's songs are written such that one can easily and clearly discern all of the writer's political or religious beliefs from them, then frankly they probably aren't written in a very interesting fashion.

I don't either. I listen to songs about fairy's and dragons most of the time. I just happen to agree with some musicians social views.DmadFearmonger

Depends on my mood. If I've broken up with a girl I'll whack on a bit of southern soul, or feeling down maybe a bit of Steve Mason or something that resonates well with my :(

I don't really listen to any music that espouses much in the way of political stance. Last one was probably the fantastic Absolute Dissent by Killing Joke, which is interesting lyrically albeit a little paranoid (as expected).

Maybe if I'm feeling an atheistic leaning, then Motorheads anti-religion classic Orgasmatron sits quite nicely.

But anyway no I don't gravitate towards any music because of a particular muscians perspective on life/world//everything/etc.

There are some great alternative bands out there. I loves me some Radiohead, Muse, Alice In Chains, Midnight Oil and Crowded House.

What're the cure like? You think I could enjoy 'em?

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="DmadFearmonger"]But Power Metal's not even heavy. It should be called Power Hard Rock, really. Or I guess it depends on the band you listen to...DmadFearmonger

I don't care what a musicians views are. Art and truth should always be completely separate I think. dkdk999

Personally, I think one should strive to be challenged in terms of truth rather than enjoying listening to that with which one already agreed. Nothing interesting in my opinion in hearing something that you agree with.
