Last.fm is a site dedicated to recording your musical tastes, and helping you find people with similar taste and bands that you would probably like.
You sign up for an account, and download the software that sends to the server what you're listening to (there's probably at least one for whatever OS/Media Player combo you use, if not, you can develop one your own). That's all.

How many people have accounts on last.fm? Post them if you do.
If you don't, go sign up.

My top played artist is Anathema. (What did you expect?)

QUOTE (Chaos Seraph @ Jul 16 2006, 11:32 PM)
1. Yes. Actually. 1 can mean more than 1 thing.
I shouldn't even continue with this; you've already proved your idiocy quite well in claiming that the result of 1+1 is subjective.
QUOTE
2. Actually, you can't. Its impossible to prove things through simple statements.
What are you talking about? I said that I couldn't without a significant background in science. Are you forgetting how to read the entire response now?
QUOTE
3. Um, no? It depends on the type of light, as I said.
You never said anything about it varying on the type of light, and um, YES. Colour is based on the wavelength of a light. Everybody gets the same damn light, the sun doesn't change based on your political or religious beliefs.
QUOTE
4. To you.
No, to anyone who pays attention to music structure.
QUOTE
5. Industrial Metal started in the late 1980s when early electronic (industrial) bands such as Ministry and KMFDM added guitars and elements of metal to their music when previously they had no guitars. Now there are many industrial metal bands, generally using electric guitars, synthesizers, drum machines or drums, sequencers, keyboards and samplers.
Many nu metal bands and other metal bands draw a influences from industrial metal too. A band is often called "industrial metal" if they use a lot of keyboards, synths, samples and electric guitars. Generally the guitar work is fairly basic, very heavy and distorted and not always the main focus of the music (the electronic elements dominate).

Thats my definition of Industrial.

Nu-metal originated in the mid 90s, and it is typically a fusion of grunge/alt metal, electronic music/hip hop and other metal genres, normally thrash metal. Many metal fans don't consider this to be a true metal genre, and the term nu-metal is often used in a negative manner.
The actual sound of the genre is quite hard to properly classify, as it can be quite different from band to band. Generally, the guitar work focuses more on mood than complexity, so it's mainly power chords. Sometimes the guitars a de-tuned to give a lower pitch. The drums also normally follow a simple beat. The vocals can vary, with either harsher, more aggressive vocals akin to metalcore, pop like vocals or occasionally rapped vocals.
And thats mine of Nu Metal.
I like how you're still getting all your information from Wikipedia after it's been established that they're not the most reliable.
QUOTE
Static fit that quite well if you ask me.
AGAIN, I said Static-X IS Nu-Metal and Industrial Rock. What you are not getting, is that Industrial is NOT a metal genre, and neither is Nu-Metal.
QUOTE
6. So all Thrash Metal is actually Black Metal?
Excuse me? Where did you get that stupid idea? I never said anything similar to that, ever.
QUOTE
Doom Metal DOES come from Black Sabbath's first three albums: the slow, evil riffs, the heavy groove and the bleak lyrics.
I could swear this is a copy and paste as well, but I can't quite place my finger where it's from...
QUOTE
But then a lot of metal is derived from Sabbath, so this particular facet of their sound just kind of lay around until St. Vitus and then Candlemass came along and did something with it. Candlemass are really the fathers of Doom Metal, and pretty much every Doom band today has either been inspired by them or compared to them at some point.
No... No, not quite. It was a long time after I got into Doom that I heard about Candlemass. Yet, everytime I mentioned Doom, I heard these names constantly: Anathema, My Dying Bride, Katatonia, Paradise Lost and Black Sabbath. Candlemass is not the father of Doom, for to be so, they would have to have created it. And they did not, Black Sabbath did.
QUOTE
7. And Kudos to you. But this is my personal opinion. I love how you all put so much emphasis on "personal preference" and "personal opinion" when someone confronts you but then eat your own words and turn hypocritical when someone happens to disagree with you.
Except Genres are not subjective. I say this over and over again, but it just seemd to rebound off your thick skull; Genres are based on musical structure, rooted deep within music theory. They have nothing to do with opinion.
QUOTE
I could care less whether you think LastFM is good or not.
Then why did you come in just to bash it? That's trolling, you know.
QUOTE
But when you've got brainless tools like yourself running around talking shit about things they know nothing about,
First, I am not brainless. Second, I am not a tool, unless you are somehow using me, but no, as you are getting so worked up, it seems the contrary. Third, I know what I am talking about. I don't just listen to music and assume I know what's what. I study music, you know. And I mean the ACTUAL music, not the band's history, or what was written by some fan on a wiki about them. I do not listen to music purely for enjoyment.
QUOTE
you can't simply stand by and twidle your thumbs while they ignorantly insult your preference
Quote a single place in this thread where I have said that Static-X sucks, and I will stop arguing you. You can't. Because I never did. I even explained that I LIKE STATIC-X. I have never insulted you in this thread.
QUOTE
and continue to show devotion to something like lastFM just because its considered "the greatest music finder of all time" by a guy who can't even accept other people's opinions.
I can accept opinions. You don't see me ripping through the "What religion are you" thread, bashing everyone who believes in God, do you? No. I have NEVER bashed someone for an opinion, or preference. I have teased, but I have never bashed.
QUOTE
I don't use LastFM because I don't like it. I expressed that, if it pissed you off, well then sorry, but its not changing.
No, it didn't piss me off. What bothered me was that you're basing an entire service on what some users of the service are claiming about their favourite band. And that you came in here saying it sucked based on that. You're the troll here, not me.
QUOTE
I call Static-X Nu/Industrial Metal because thats what I find them to fit well. Don't like it? Live with it.
Again, Static-X is Nu-Metal and Industrial ROCK (there is no such genre as Industrial Metal, genre definitions make it an impossibility). I never said I don't like it, and even said the contrary when I explained, several times, that they are Nu-Metal and Industrial Rock, and I like them.

I swear, I have never met someone as inattentive as you.
