SR V: To boldly go where no room has gone before

I suppose that's understandable. My brother isn't really ready for music yet; he just doesn't care about it. He only listens to it extremely sparingly, and usually the same extremely simplistic song over and over again all day.

My family is funny.

My brother is into oldies and country (as am I).  He likes George Jones and Johnny Cash and The Temptations.

My other brother is into hard rock and rap (as am I).  He's into Outkast and Porcupine Tree and The Outfield (yeah, they aren't hard rock or rap but f**k it).

My sister is into pop rock and showtunes (as am I...kind of).  She is becoming a kick ass pianist.  So I'm trying to show her what great music sounds like.  I think she'll get it.

I need to figure out what to do for #7.

Any suggestions?

Fail.

Jethro Tull > Decemberists

Yup, post-rock was definitely another of my strong points. Easy poll, kinda easy questions too, the metal and jazz were more pretentious (too bad my guessing skills worked admirably there ).

Scores updated again.

You're kicking the competition again, Rico.

Didn't knew that Do Make Say Think got their name from some elementary s&&t, that GisA were from Ireland, what band helped Sigur Ros in ( ), and screwed the count of how many times Silver Mt. Zion have been different Tra-La-La orchestras. The question that boggled me was about Friday Night Lights. So, Explosions did some soundtrack pieces for that film, but they never made it in it?? The question was about A Silver Mt. Zion. I threw in the Explosions score to throw people off. Super easy, anyway. Xiaojie scored a bit more than me, but he didn't knew where Gregor Samsa originated from, so his life should be taken.

Don't quite understand what you mean, but no matter. 8th and 9th quizzes are both focusing on bands (not genres or sub-genres) and both bands are releasing albums later this month. Why do I have a horrible feeling about this?

Because you have a good intuition?

I'd like to delve more into the genre, though, even if not everything I've heard so far really floated my boat. Anyway, as you know, I'm willing to give anything a try - though I must admit I'm not particularly attracted to Neo Alex, hope one of those quizzes is about TMV.. You know they're one of my favourite bands

One of them is.
