Whatever...I'm out of patience.

I don't care. It's just a continual theme of telling people, in so many words, that their opinion is dumb, which I don't think is cool.

I'm glad it's funny to you. I would prefer you simply state that you disagree with my selection than mock me, especially when I said I'm serious. Don't worry, I don't take it to heart. It's just not cool.

Nope, no joke.

Let's stop talking in circles. You think they can take their time; I think they're wasting time. No sense in continually re-stating our opinions in different ways.

Ok, I just wanted you to be clear. I still make the recommendation, though. Good thing we don't have a relationship.

I didn't claim I know Radiohead well. That's an irrelevant point. You can wait and make excuses for them if you want; I choose not to do that. And Radiohead being more musically talented than Zeppelin is simply an opinion.

What's you point? Are you saying they are not a good band?

They don't spend their down time cultivating ideas. They spend their down time screwing around. Look at artist like Zeppelin or The Beatles. They were putting out albums practically every year. What, did inspiration just hit them faster? No, they just weren't as lazy. I see most of the Los Angeles based artist around town, and they spend 90% of their time goofing around.

Yeah, Guns N' Roses

Good music and timeliness are not incompatible ideas. I am not against taking your time; I am against wasting time. Somehow, I doubt they are putting in a 40 hour week. Once these artist "make it," they become lazy. I think they hide behind the excuse of not wanting to rush their art. It's nothing but an excuse to me. You mean to tell me you can't come up with 10 songs in over 3 years?

Oh, I forgot my favorite work out album of all time: Guns N' Roses - Appetite for Destruction. I also like to listen to Incubus, The Killers, AFI, and Stone Temple Pilots, Dave Matthews Band, Jimmy Eat World, Tool, and Van Halen. It's funny, almost all of my work out albums are by North American artists.

When I work out, I like to listen to hard rock, metal, or pop music. The louder it is, the better I like it. Definetly nothing where you are analyzing the content. Metallica, SOAD, Weezer, Social Distortion, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Led Zeppelin, Linkin Park, Green Day, Rage Against the Machine, and Nirvana are a few artists that work well for me.

Nice. Divine intervention is always the way to go.

Something in the Night - Bruce Springsteen

Muse vs The Arcade Fire

I like that the list is both definitive and objective. How can you argue with that? I may post my list later, but it will be incomplete and biased.

^ Sweet Talk should have been a radio single.
