Hmm ... I'm not sure how much you'd be into the non-rap music I listen to these days, but thanks for the compliments.IsThisIt_basic
Try me. Hey, Tilly and the Wall owned. :(
Blood Brothers, older Incubus, ATD-I, etc. ... it was all stuff just leading me up to where I am now, musically. I loved that stuff so much because it was the closest thing I could find to what I was really looking for ... maybe that's why I don't listen to much non-rap music these days; because I no longer have to keep searching for bands that deliver what I want.
I keep telling myself I'll eventually go back and find the best rock stuff, after I'm exhausted with rap ... ONE of these days I will, like when I delved into metal just because I felt desperate for something new, but right now rap just owns my life. Give me more recommendations, though, and I'll DL them. :8
As for the whole Taking Back Sunday thing ... they've done a couple fun songs, and I really am a Midwest Emo junkie ... don't get me wrong, the San Diego scene is my favorite, but lately I think I've even been listening to more midwest emo than rap. The real problem with Tacking Back Sunday is just that there are so many people that do the sound better, and they don't get half the publicity TBS does.
Man, I liked Saves the Day, Thursday, Taking Back Sunday, Pretty Girls Make Graves, etc. WAAAAY before all that crap got played on MTV and the radio. I HATE that that happened, because only Saves the Day still makes the same great music, and you can still tell their style changed hugely with the album they released this year. I listened to all that crap in middle school, freakin five years ago, so don't think I was hopping on some bandwagons.
Other bands I didn't mention: The aforementioned Pretty Girls Make Graves, Muse, Mewithoutyou, The Strokes, Hot Hot Heat.
