Evanescence is the favorite band of my 14 year old daughter. I guess I'm too old to appreciate that band.

We need to not discuss music on this board. It is depressing. Let's stick to religion, politics, sports, and humanities.

Is it depressing because music just ain't what it used to be and each new band is worse than the previous?

I think it's depressing because TD realizes how insufficient his music knowledge is to carry on a decent conversation.

No, it is depressing because it appears that nobody else here spends time following music. Most of the music references I have read so far have been examples of spoon-fed top 40 MTV type stuff. How uninteresting. For example, even though I hate country, it would be interesting to hear from someone who knows the genre really well and can recommend artists beyond Garth Brooks or Johnny Cash.

There is nothing wrong with liking popular music, per se, but it is a lazy approach. There is much better out there than what the radio tells you.

That being said, there are some diverse hobbies here....politics, classicisim, humanities, religious studies......one of my hobbies just happens to be music.

No direspect to Triple is intended, but that was funny.

Insufficient knowledge? I thought you liked dummies?

I think you'd be surprised.

My favorite bands are what would be considered the original New Wave bands, though many of them really aren't what I would say is New Wave, but only got put in that category because they're not the lousy Top 40 crap of that time - such as Echo and the Bunnymen, The Rave Ups, Oingo Boingo, etc.
