Poll Do You Listen To Grunge Or Alternative Rock And Why?

[Gamereign555]

I listen to stuff that is a bit darker now, and I also listen to anything that's new age kind of relaxing. I don't listen to quite as much grunge or alternative because most of the lyrics strike me as whiny and desperate.

I listen to a lot of what could be classed as alternative. I like Metallica, Iron Maiden, Linken Park, Greenday, U2 and lots of other stuff like 80's new Romantics (Spandau Ballet, Bowie, Japan, etc) The New Romantics is pure reminiscence but the Metallica etc. is because I associate with the lyrics and they help me release my anger in a constructive way. (Singing my head off in the kitchen usually).

 

[Queen Boudica]

Eels, E, Garbage, The Cure, Travis.

I've listened to those songs for years, but now I listen to them with new ears. There is so much in those songs to someone suffering from depression and complex trauma. It is like they are talking to me sometimes. I can listen to the same song over and over again.

Goth in all different types, Black metal of different kinds.. most depressive, suicidal (not that I at all feel that the music is even a little making me feel that or I listen to it to get away from thus feelings, but because I think it is absolutely wonderful and relaxing...something even my BM-friends think is pretty weird.) I also tend to listen to noise, death and pagan/folk/viking metal. I also like Opera and classic music but that actually don't belong to this topic..but just to let you know I listen to more normative music to...

I've alway loved rock but as I'm getting older I'm getting a bit darker, but music calms me so I listen to music all the time.

The music makes me jump out of my skin. It feels so violent. I think it's the bass and screaming. It bothers me so much but then why do I watch true crime and I can listen to Guns N Roses, Metallica...sometimes. Maybe my age?! :eek::D

I listen to Blue October and Evanescence. I was turned onto Blue October when I heard their song "hate me". And I listen to Ev because my best friends husband is actually their guitarist. But I really do relate to their music , especially their new album.

AVENGED SEVENFOLD ALL THE WAY!!!!

They will never know how much they have helped me and sometimes even saved me. I'm mainly rock/metal but in most music I trust it's my life line. But not rave or trance:rolleyes:

And I listen to Ev because my best friends husband is actually their guitarist.

I love Evanescence! Great lyrics and music.

Jo May, my lads listen to Avenged Sevenfold and most metal. They go to Sonisphere and Bloodstock. I like some of their Metal stuff especially folk metal like Eluveitie, Ensiferum and Korpiklaani.

NIN Ruiner really can relate to that song.

I used to listen to Nirvana as well. I also like Hole. Violet was one of my favourite songs.

Also Tori Amos. She is an amazing lady. I love her music. I saw her singing live once.

Never have, gives me a headache. Too loud can't stand loud noises.
Do like Gary Moore's "Still got the Blues for You". It's melancholic and brings back memories of my greatest love that died still young.
