And i mean mainstream rock. Aside from all the radiohead & NIN posts that will almost certainly appear in this thread, what are your favourite "playable on mtv" rock tracks? I'll start the ball rolling: - Foo Fighters - Times Like These - The Distillers - The Hunger - Kings of Leon - California Waiting - Hot Hot Heat - Bandages - The Darkness - Friday Night I actually feel ashamed of my own musical taste when looking at the above list, but screw it, there's no secrets on xltronic. List me up motherfuckers. |

i dont know. i like things like longwave, interpol, and black rebel motorcycle club. i don't really have any too mainstream. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and i love reznor, but i guess i cant put that up there because you mentioned his stuff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, interpol are pretty alright, i have a single by them hanging around somewhere. A girl i (vaguely) know is in a band who supported interpol a few times. |
||||||||

I have no idea pal, no idea. I've not hearrd any of what you mentioned but I darre say the Foo Fighters trrack is prrobably ok. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I love the 7/4 and 9/4 timings in the intro/refrain riffs on that foo fighters song... really well made. shame about the words! |

berwick street!!!! |

It's pretty darned good, indeed. I'm not usually a fan of Teh Rawwwwwwk, but for some reason that track gives me the neck-chills. And i don't know why. |

if this was pop or rap... i'd have no trouble doing a list... but i'd be really, really hardpressed to give more than a few examples of mainstream singles from the last few years that i enjoy... and this is partly because i really haven't followed pop culture that closely the last few years... the only time i'm really exposed to it is when i'm at the bars... which is why i could list pop and hip hop... so, uh... i'm going to go with stuff that's a bit older... that song called "I've Got You Where I Want You"... that song rules... i think it's by the Flys (or something).... the Deftones-Change (In the House of the Flies)... SOAD-Toxicity... Hootie! (haha... shut up you bastards! it's catchy, nostalgic stuff)... |

Aye, seeya later carl. Here's hoping you have a good time Down South. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh no, not the Darkness. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh YES the darkness. It shames me vastly, but i really like that song. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if the question was: what are some cool songs that COULD (being realistic about what the masses will and won't like) be played on mtv, it would be a lot easier to answer....but perhaps less interesting i suppose... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Weezer - Buddy Holly !!!!!!!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ohhhhhhhh Yes Indeedy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like Somebody Told Me by the Killers |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the strokes are pretty mainstream, i like them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah i also like the strokes, for my sins. They have some nice pop songs... "hard to explain" is particularly good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I really don't know what's being plauyed at mtv atm, prob some r&b shitty rapperlookalike songs, no rock anymore, they should bring back the good old days; it was called headbangers ball if my brains aren't malfunctioning |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yep :) and "trying my luck" is really good off of that album... 2nd album is better tho, i think - with "Under Control" what a song! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i used to like the deftones, still like white pony. the newer one sucked though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Not heard the second album yet... maybe 30 minutes (if that) if my sources are correct. Doesn't bother me though, i've got a bit of a fetish for short albums. It's still on the "to get" list. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hard to explain is quite a wicked song... and now that i think about it, so is the new Hives single... as well as Hate To Say I Told You So |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, "hate to say i told you so" is a good'un for sure. I remember listening to that ages ago on john peel and feeling like i should do a little happy raaaaawk jig. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that Von Bondies song "C'mon C'mon" was pretty cool :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like queens of the stone age and system of a down. do i lose mad street cred now? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, all of it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
some qotsa stuff is good, bit over the top in places tho :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like pop music more and more every day! out of your list i can listen to foo fighters...i really dislike darkness, and i don't know the other 3. :) |
