Your best bet would be to listen to metal from when metal was good...but if I listen to the newer stuff how am I susposed to understand what they are singing?

I asked my neighbors son last night ,hes 16 and its all about the screaming.He said the lyrics dont mean $hit its just about the music!Ill agree on the fact that some of these bands have talented musical songs with great riffs and awsome drums but WTF are they saying?Sorry Im older 43 but i still rock and im not going to go to a lyric site to find out what theyre singing(if you wanna call it that).I listen to everything and im just having a hard time with the whole screaming thing.Just imagine how great these metal bands would be with say david coverdale or Rob Halford singing.I like the sound ,i mean these bands totally jam but the screaming doesnt work for me.

Geez I'm trying to remember being 13 or 14, Ha!  When I was that age a nice album was a great gift, so realizing that they are not that readily available or playable I suppose a CD would be nice.  One that would be of a band I like and perhaps makes me think of you when played.

Sorry, they were never the greatest for me.  You are comparing too many different styles or genre's of rock.  Go listen to some Mountain, look for some of Jeff Becks work.  And for me, the best is CSN&Y though I do not put them in the same genre as the Stones.  One thing I will give the Stones though is longivity.

Tell your class that you can't put these together in a category! \nYou can't compare Pink Floyd (not phloyd) with these, and you also can't compare Queen! These are bands with different genres...\n\nBut for Black Sabbath or AC/DC, it's Black Sabbath

Hey buddy, I feel ya 100%. I used to listen to ska of all kinds, from Five Iron to Less than Jake. Even the O.C. Supertones had some great songs. But ska has indeed gone the way of the buffalo. I still listen to the Bosstones and LTJ but if you want Christian Ska specifically, I'm posting a link with a list of current Christian Ska bands. Keep up the skankin!

no dude, be creative! that is just a rip off of another band. who wants to listen to a group that couldn't even think of a better band name?! what genre of band are you? give us that, the more help you'll get.

tell them its like metal but the riffs instead of being chaotic have more melody to it. so like melodic metal (make sure they understand you mean metal not hardcore or screamo cuz thats wat mainstream metal is now a days)

There aren't many left in the heavy metal and death metal camps.  The music seems to have changed once again.  There was heavy metal; then came death metal and the New Wave of British Heavy Metal; then the hair bands came and went (pretty much).  I've listened to it all from Sabbath, Zeppelin and Priest; to Leppard; Saxon; and punk - Black Flag; which gave us the Misfits and Danzig which gave us Metallica and Megadeth.\n\nToday, it seems to be a mixture of heavy and death metal; but sort of with a twist of the love song; take Aetryu for example.  You got your singer and your screamer and then you got Cradle Of Filth and where to put them; the closest to heavy metal these days are possibly Godsmack and Disturbed.  Also there is Avenged Sevenfold whose guitars sound a lot like Iron Maiden; but then again they were sort of punk at first.\n\nWhere does one draw the line between hard rock and metal - where would Rise Against and Bad Acid Trip fit in?  Especially compared to Cradle and Aetyru.  And what about System Of A Down?

Yeah they are also a Finnish love/glam/horror metal band like HIM. I haven't heard many of their material, but from what I've heard they seem to be a little on the lame side. HIM is better, I have to agree. I went to a concert and they were good. But I prefer the old stuff to the pop-rock that they made Dark Light. Rock on!

Sounds more like a gothic metal band or a grunge/indie band - I kinda like it, I know names's a little gross but it's hard with attitude just like metal music so it goes with it quite well.  And this is from someone who doesn't like metal so you've got a full unbiased opinion there!!!!  Clever little boy you've got there I must say!

Hey, Moon. Actually, I answered a similar question several months back, which you can access here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ar508P_B4Wyt1zbNimNzmxXsy6IX?qid=1006032014570\n\nAnd I named some of my favourite '80s era bands even further back, which you can access here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AmDmj_UH5dOiEe0KqohI_Dnsy6IX?qid=1006031200738\n\nI can recommend most or all of them very highly, especially the specific songs and artists on the first list. \n\nNow then, what is this particular song that you discovered weeks ago whilst reading one of your friend's lists of preferred music? Inquiring minds want to know! ;)

No, 1985-86 much better! And what is motley crue doing up there with Metallica and Megadeth?? You should go listen to Master of Puppets twice, and then Peace Sells ... But Who's Buying twice as penance, then throw out your motley crue CDs (except for maybe Shout at the Devil), and replace them with say Testament or something.

Listen to whatever you like. But do not restrict yourself to just these. \n\n"Good music" is whatever you think is good. \n\nYou should try listening to all kinds of stuff.....you never know...you might surprise yourself....
