| I think that I would definitely go insane if I had to live with someone who listens to linkin park. But, whatever, you have to deal with it and keep listening to what you listen to. |

Yeah, so does mine, among other things. the music is not awful. mediocre at best, but the production is truly admirable. I keep Meteora in my car just because the bass on that CD is so damn heavy. ------------- http://www.myspace.com/altaic" rel="nofollow - http://www.myspace.com/altaic ALTAIC "Oceans Down You'll Lie" coming soon |

Hmm, not as bad as my old housemate..., he played "Bob The Builder" way
too much, but he did have "Fat Of The Land" by Prodigy, so that was a
slight improvement. Another housemate played a lot of Eminem,
bless her. Then the other three girls, they played cheesy chart
music. Think how I felt having to live through all that? I
had a puny portable CD player, so I couldn't drown it out. Out of
all my housemates, only one played reasonable stuff, like Cream for
instance.

It's for these reasons exactly that a very large and powerful stereo system is a prog fan's greatest and most important investment. MAKE THEM ALL LISTEN!  ------------- http://www.myspace.com/altaic" rel="nofollow - http://www.myspace.com/altaic ALTAIC "Oceans Down You'll Lie" coming soon |

I agree, but I wasn't into prog back then really, I had a very small
collection of rather bad CDs that I hardly play anymore (i.e., Cast,
Oasis, Primal Scream, Ash, Moody Blues (odd how that crept in) and a
bit later Cream (thanks to my housemate who's mother bought him it
again). And I was a student, I couldn't afford such
luxuries. I can inflict people with my prog in the car now,
except they turn it down... -------------

I am a student, and I consider stereo sound a necessity (in the same way that beer is a necessity, however stereo outranks beer). I am willing to sacrifice certain things in order to improve and maintain perfect equalization and pure power of sound. it's almost religious, really. kinda sad. ------------- http://www.myspace.com/altaic" rel="nofollow - http://www.myspace.com/altaic ALTAIC "Oceans Down You'll Lie" coming soon |

Three words... noise cancelling headphones. Failing that, mess with
their soundsystem and/or try listening to your music elsewhere. The
last one's probably the best shot. |

I usually find an ounce or two of commercial C4 explosive improves the sound quality of Linkin Park fans' hi-fi systems enormously.
Come now, Six Eight, that's giving up! Stride into this person's room, demand manfully that the offending disc be removed, replace it with a copy of Caravan's "In The Land Of Grey and Pink", and play it at the offender until he's really sorry. However, I should mention at this point that I have Linkin Park's first album and the remixed version.......... sorry. -------------
