So anyone here who likes amber pacific? whats your favorite song? which albums do you have and have you been to any shows.

I like all their songs especially "Living proof" "for what its worth" "poetically pathetic" and "watching over me"

Does anyone rate this film, or Eminem who plays the main character?

56 Hope Road is a band bonded like a family, and as a result, their music has an unmistakable honesty and openness. Uncanny, intuitive communication creates an easy interplay on stage, making even the most layered tunes sound effortless. They allow the joy of spontaneous creativity to color their song-based arrangements - neither losing their
musical center, nor restricting its growth. This Chicago-based “acoustic funk explosion” is known for clever songwriting, lush vocal harmonies and one of the tightest rhythm sections on the scene.

Here is my Interview with Dave Hamilton from 56 Hope Road:

Just heard this song "handlebars" by this band the Flobots.
I am really into their stuff, very good beats with even better lyrics.
I love the whole message they are trying to spread and it has really good sound along with a violin. Take a chance and steam their CD, that what I've been doing and think that the CD is gonna be great. myspace.com/flobots has tracks from their CD "Fight With Tools".
Gimme some feedback and let me know what everyone thinks of them

Later!,

Who would yours be?

I enjoyed Nigel Kennedy before he went retro.

Still enjoy Maxim Vengerov, so he would be my best.

These are the bands that have 10-20 great songs in their arsenal. No one or two hit wonders here.

1. Alice In Chains- The greatest band from the Seattle grunge movement. They revolutionized rock and roll in the early to mid 90's with songs like: Nutshell, Down In A Hole, Would, Rooster, I Stay Away, Them Bones, Heaven Beside You, and the list goes on. Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell are brilliant musicians.

2. Tool- Contains one of the greatest song writers in James Maynard Keenan to ever live. Their style is very unique to the traditional sound, thus making them stand out. You can put them in a number of different rock genres as they are versatile. Songs like Sober, Schism, Stinkfist, 46and2, Parabola, Lateralus, Eulogy and the list goes on.

3. Days of The New- Ahh, my personal favorite. I LOVE Days of The New. Travis Meeks is a very good guitarist and lyricist. He also writes the songs, he does it all. All of the other members were in a band called Tantric who is also great. They are all from Charlestown, IN which is down the street from me. I know people who grew up with Travis. A lot of their songs deal with addiction. I don't just hear their music, I can feel it in me. Songs you guys might be interested in are: Bring Me Down, Shelf in The Room, Touch Peel and Stand, Whats Left For Me, Where I Stand, Weapons and Wounds, and many others. You must listen to them if you've never heard them. They changed my life.

4. Nirvana- Another life changer. Kurt Cobain, the guru of grunge rock. He was a very complex song writer. Every song has multiple meanings depending what you are going through at the time. Another great musician, Dave Grohl had a lot to do with the success of nirvana. They kicked off the grunge rock movement, which was perhaps the greatest era in the history of rock. Some of my favorites include: Pennyroyal Tea, Something In The Way, The old Bob Dylan remake; The Man Who Sold The World, Lithium, Come As You Are, Dumb, All Apologies and many more.

5. Pink Floyd- Although this band is in a completely different era than the bands above, they are definitely similiar in my opinion. They have a dark sound which I think is prevalent to being an elite rock band. Their first lead singer went out of his mind on acid, which is a shame because Syd Barret had a lot of potential. Either way they were good after him too. Some of my favorites are: Dark Side of The Moon, Time, Shine on You Crazy Diamond, Hey You, Comfortably Numb, Money, Wish You Were Here.

Well Thats That guys, perhaps you got a good read out of this. I will be doing the 5 Greatest one hit wonders tommorow after work. I will be available for feedback tonight or tommorow.

And finally am here, en-route to discovering more music am sure.

Hello music lovers, I am Srikkanth, an advertising professional, born in India and currently residing in Bahrain.

Took to music seriously in the mid 80's (yeah i am 34, guess i have been around long enough to say back in the 80's... pop was in and i was groovin to A-Ha and Climie Fischer and Mr.Mister, Madonna, Phil Collins Kylie Minogue in her first round and i thought i had heard all that was cool.

Few years later, pop was passe and i had moved onto heavy metal. I swore by Judas Priest, hunted down their albums, listened to Black sabbath and Iron Maiden, Helloween and thought music was metal, once even scoffing at a friend for suggesting jazz and blues. He laughed.

I realised a few years later why. I discovered classic rock and with it came along the blues, and studious jazz. After that i got hooked onto the net and mp3 was a good thing, napster became a bad word, information was zipping past, and bytes jus kept coming in... todays its all torrential downpours. I kept discovering the classics everyday along with new stuff.

I have whizzed past timelines, going back and forth discovering music, artists, rediscovering artists once whom i had dismissed. Now i am equally comfortable with Alternative Rock as i am with lounge, grunge, electronica, metal... hey even Rap.

But my idol musically is, was and always will be Frank Zappa. I think listening to his music really helped appreciating everything in a way.

And now, since i am away from home, am falling in love with Indian Classical Music all over again.... hows that for a strange trip..eh.

Hope to interact with you all frequently. Thank You
