Your favourite Punk albums?

Jared: I relate to the humour, and it didn't seem that grumpy to me. I can be really, really grumpy, very shamefully so, and at those times I also am commonly uniquely stupid. Sometimes I'm not at all grumpy and yet still come across that way. My weird sense of humour. Mine was more of a general comment as some people seem to complain or get upset about certain music not getting discussed much and about the music that get discussed, and that too can get really blown out of proportion. If those people want to focus on other things, it's not challenging to build topics for that discussion. Variety is the spice of life, and I love the amount of music diversity that this forum affords. And yet despite the many differences one fins interests, one also finds much in common. I like to try to find those commonalities with people where we often seem to be on very different pages. With the friendly, open to checking out music and exploring, and conversational people that's usually not too hard. With some it proves almost impossible. And that's okay too.

As for rap, The Gonch from the CBBC (BBC Kids in Canada) show Big Babies made me a fan. I loved to watch this with my young children, but truth is, I was way more into than they.



I actually have grown to like lots of rap, and have liked some rap for many years.

I love various opera music, including Chinese opera. Like lots of music of all of those.

Although I have thought negatively about AOR and Arena Rock, there is lots of music that falls under that that I do like. I'm not keen on Crunk, which is a fairly punky form of hip-hop. The music I really don't like is music I hear blasting out of cars here, which is largely heavy bass hip-hop/rap here and boppy bass heavy Punjabi music.

I would say if one doesn't like music being presented commonly here, that's fine, there's space for huge diversity. And if one builds topics based on one's own interests, then, generally, expect interest from others. And of course by making topics you might turn people onto music they might not know and that build little communities within PA to share the same interests. We generally are pretty hardcore listeners (music geeks) who have listened to huge amounts of music, but there's always more to discover. :)

Post-punk is an important ingredient to my tastes, especially these days.

EDIT: I had written 2002 twice when I meant 2022.... Mind is too much in the past, or it was just a double-typo. I am very prone to typos.
