SUCH A GOOD SONG!!!
It reminds me a bit of this:
I miss this music
That one was pretty decent, as well. Red Hot Chilli Peppers had some decent singles around about this time, as well. Scar Tissue, for instance.
I prefer Incubus to them but yeah, lots of good alternative rock from the time.
How did I go from Truly, Madly, Deeply to this:
No wonder I was the quiet kid they thought was going to shoot up a school....

You're lucky you didn't know me back then, I'd have been crushing on you hardcore for loving my kind of music

Liked that one too LOL
I had no sisters... I think this is how my taste changed so much.
I had one, which is why some of the softer alt rock of the time slipped into my playlists
.Trent Reznor, such an artist.
Breaking Benjamin were decent, as well.
If I had to name a "favorite band" that would be it.
From that era, they're among the decent bands of nu metal / hard rock, for sure. This was also around about the time I was starting to really get into metal, though, so my tastes went towards the even harder stuff. Bands like Insomnium, Kataklysm, Sinner, Otep, Opeth, Arch Enemy, In Flames, etc. Just loved it! Having said that, I always hated when people asked me who my favourite band was...why do I need a favourite? I love music, and a lot of different genres, so I don't need a favourite! Give me all of it!
I didn't get too deep into metal. I do like a few In Flames songs... One being the feline national anthem. lol
This is as metal as I got I suppose which is like "metal lite"
Killswitch Engage are decent, and they're metal. I steered clear of like full on doom metal and those obscure bands that are literally just screaming that you can't understand, but I still love metal. I got into some that had deep social messages like this:
And I got into viking metal like this:
And I got into power metal like this:
...and then I fell in love with the perfection that is this:
Did I mention I really like metal?
The music itself sounds good but I can't get behind the deep growling. I don't mind it in parts of the song but I don't like it for the entire song. It is too much for me.
Listen to that last song I posted. It's got the growling, but it's got clean vocals, too. One of my all time favourites. I get it, though, it's definitely not for everyone. I found it when I was in a pretty dark place, and something about the pure aggression of metal just sort of calmed me down back then, and it just sort of stuck ever since. Works for me, but certainly not for everyone.
Then again, there's always Pirate Metal!
