you need to open your ears and open your mind to some good music!

 

It's crazy how many of you have never even HEARD of type o negative. I'm not a fan of alot of the bands/artists named (*ahem* neil diamond) but I know who they are.



I don't understand why ABBA was added to the list though.

 

haha I noticed that too....... I thought they were at least half way popular. its surprising. most people here dig the beatles, and type o is pretty much the heavy metal version of the fab four.

and, moonshyne are you knocking my selection here?? I didnt want to ask the predictable classic 60s/70s bands or any hippy type bands..... even though Im into them.... just wanted a more eclectic selection, and see who has similar tastes.

abba is a secret obsession of mine right now, I do not know why. lol.

and for all of you who dont know who Can is, its a german experimental group from the 70s. theyve influenced alot of bands from radiohead to the sex pistols.

 

*cries*
