GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

I thought I'd add my voice to this in a different way: was just up in Niagara Falls (hello all my Ontario friends) on vacation. Thank goodness my rental car had XM on it so I could keep my 'all 80's sanity.' Anyway, I was absolutely amazed at two things: one, how dumpy the town of Niagara Falls, Ontario is; and two, how many Vibes (first and second generation) we saw while we were there. Here in the Delta Quadrant, every other car is a Camry. In Niagara Falls, it seemed like every other car was a Vibe......amazing. As for the topic of music, Colin Hay is playing tomorrow night at the Casino. I was sad to get on the plane, because I know my daughter and I would love to attend, as he plays many of his Men at Work favorites. Oh well; we had fun playing with the racoons in the back of the casino every night and watching the fireworks three times during the week. Oh, and by the way, Rush's drummer reportedly grew up in the Niagara region, so I was playing 'Dreamline' over and over in my head.

Another good song of late "Break Your Heart" with Taio Cruze and Ludracris http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...e=fvw

right now i'v got in, three days grace, thousand foot crutch and pop evil

Ironbound by Overkill is pumping out of the speakers at this moment!

kings of Leon = only by the nightGorillaz = Plastic beach

Alice in ChainsMonster MagnetMidnight OilEverclearFaith No More (what the iPod is currently set to in the car).I've got about 20 playlists and a plethora of bands contained therein, so really too many to list here (and I'm sure no one would really care, anyway)

Quote, originally posted by DeClerq »Alice in Chainshow'd you like the new aic's album?lately i've been listening to Pearl Jam's live stuff and their new cd on the ipod. my 3yr old is really into dance/pop/r&b music so whenever we're in the vibe, all I hear is Top 40 music

Haven't listened to it enough yet to say for sure - but the new singer sounds a lot like Staley. So far I think my favorite track is "Last of My Kind".

1-TOOL2-PRIMUS3-COHEED & CAMBRIA4-PINK FLOYD5-2PAC6-THE MARS VOLTA

Vocal: Michael Franks "Blue Pacific" or "Passionfruit"Instrumental: Jean-Luc Ponty "Storytelling" or "A Taste For Passion"

...since I play guitar (chordal jazz), instrumental music--and especially jazz guitar music--are my favorites, but there aren't that many AM or FM stations playing them on the air...and XM is way over-priced....thus, I listen to a lot of CD's...many I made myself as compilations of tunes from albums and CDs that I liked.

Here is something some of you may find interesting. This band is called Van Canto, they are an acapella metal band out of Germany. That may sound odd, but check it out.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6F9aJuHJE80I should probably mention that there are 5 singers and a drummer, other than the drums there are no instruments utilized.

Not bad.... I see they've played Wacken!

Yup, there is even a live version of the song on youtube that was filmed at Wacken.

Any alternative or independent labeled rock! Muse & Keane are tow examples! Sirius XMU is one of my favs! Music is always playing in our house/cars/boom boxes,etc.... Been a Sirius lifetime subscriber for over 5 years and now an XM lifetime subscriber in the Vibe.

I recently discovered Nightwish, a Finnish "symphonic metal" band. Been playing them a lot lately. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...lated http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...lated And a good Gary Moore cover: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hwIcYnuIBg

Funny to look back at page two and see what I posted in 2003. What makes it even funnier, is that I am still listening to those bands today! Except now they are on a flash drive and plugged into my USB port in my car.

alot of country and metal (disturbed and korn) and some alternative

Country AND metal??? Wow, that's def an odd pairing

yes it is a little odd compare themAlabama George Strait Alan jackson Garth Brooks Zac Brown Band Maranda Lambert Taylor Swift KornDisturbed RamstineTheory of a dead man I love Rise Against!!Axles on fire billy talenti guess it comes with the job, its alot easier to grade roads push and dig dirt to country music then it is to something else

I had the chance to meet them before a concert a few years ago. Super nice, down to earth guys (and gal), and they put on a hell of a great show.If you like Nightwish, check out the band Within Temptation. Good stuff!

just picked up Gorillaz "Plastic Beach" different than Demon Days thats for sure

Listening to E.T. Katy Perry w/ Kanyehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OehxXNCYvTM

On my CD there are Hip-hop/rap, country, rock, and folk sounding music lol..Recently discovered stuff from Mumford and Sons, and some new one for Adele. I like The Black Eyed Peas new stuff.. not that I didn't like their old songs though..

Lately its been:Five Finger Death PunchToolKornLuda

Right now Kenny Wayne Shephard. I have been listening to a lot of Blues Rock lately....

Folk and progressive metal, progrock, jazz.In the car at the moment:Enslaved - Axioma Ethica OdiniWindir - 1184Vrani Volosa - EPECKlabautamann - MerkurBorknagar - Archaic CourseVoivod - Dimension HatrössRadioheadOceansizePorcupine TreeSome 70s prog rock like:Premiata Forneria MarconiVan Der Graaf GeneratorGenesis (Gabriel era)Gentle GiantSome Jazz:Django ReinhardtTal FarlowJohn McLaughlin / Mahavishnu OrchestraVery odd mix but thats what it is...

Today it's EkoTren... Especially Track 1. Because I was TICKED this morning. Nothing better than a spin in my car screaming out the anger. I'm all better now

ekotren... never heard of it but at the mention of screaming ill mention that for a while lately i have really been stuck on some attack attack and chiodos. i got turned onto it pushing snow this winter and just cant get enough. but i know most people would HATE the stuff, ha ha.

OK i had to you tube this. surprised that's actually pretty good. usually i hear about something like this and its just crappy non stop screaming. but these guys actually have some real talent, when i do listen to stuff that hard i like a good balance of singing, and the singing has to be at least a little understandable. i may just have to do some downloading tonight.

Yeah they are not really well known yet, they are from Florida and they happened to be at one of the local thrash clubs the same night as my fave local band (Who aren't quite as good, but local guys..) That was an awesome night, played with Sammus Theory (who are better live than recorded) and Razorblade Dolls (Who kick A live) I agree with you. I love me some good metal music but it's got to be coherent. My favorite every day song of theirs is 'Light to Shine'. It's from their first release, pretty good BTW, Track 1 is 'Light the Fire'.

Thrash club?!?!?!?! I'm so moving to Florida!!!! There is nothing like that around here What's the scene like around you? Around me there is nothing but old or pop bands.

Around me there is nothing but old or pop bands.LOL This is in KANSAS! It's shut down now, I loved that place, hard time hearing for days after, but it was the one place you saw chicks dressed up all glam, every type in black with studs and chains and piercings, dudes in bermudas and hawaiian shirts, every day joes, emos and scenes..gay straight and I am pretty sure some cross dressers... and everyone is just cool with each other and there for the same thing. Miss it.

That sux it's shut down From where I'm at, there's pretty much just country, hip hop, and pop. Some bands play old school R&R, but nothing heavy or thrashy. Makes it really hard to find anyone to jam with around here. Drummers seem to be scared of double bass hahaha

oh gaw.. the double bass is freaking amazing live in a club...the best part really. You totally need to find some ppl and start your own thing.

That's def what I want to try and do, but my city is so uptight. I'll have to go to Indy or something jsut to find a good metal scene.

Yeah we traveled an hour and a half to go to the goat.

I've been hung up on this album this past week:S & M by Metallica

Hey this is a cool thread. Most of the time when I'm driving it's to and from work and I'm listening to Smodcast or related podcasts. But I do keep a few CDs in the Vibe:In the player this second:Jay-Z: Unplugged (Feat. The Roots)In the console:Beastie Boys- Licensed To IllThe Brothers Johnson - Look Out For #1The Beach Boys - Endless SummerRush - 2112Funkadelic - America Eats It's YoungRun DMC - Raising HellPrimus - Suck On ThisVan Halen - 1984Dr. Dre - The ChronicBlind Melon - SoupClarke, DiMeola & Ponty - The Right Of StringsJane's Addiction - StraysHelmet - MeantimeModest Mouse - Good News For People Who Love Bad News

Quote, originally posted by A Psycho Martyr »I've been hung up on this album this past week:S & M by MetallicaReally love what they done on that album. Some songs, like Ktulu, it was just perfect!! Others, eh but all in all I think it turned out awesome!!

Some of my favorites include:POST ROCK Sigur RosMogwaiExplosions in the SkyRussian CirclesGod Speed! You Black EmporerGod is an AstronautPROGRESSIVE/OTHER ROCKThe Mars VoltaFair to MidlandAbandon All ShipsAsking AlexandriaRushWe Came As RomansBreaking BenjaminFlawTRUSTcompanyChimairaBlinded ColonyAttack AttackAs Cities BurnPOP/RAP/OTHERTupacBarzinRob MartinoKina GranisColbie CaillatMiley CyrusNatalie ImbrugliaEminemI don't really get into a lot of rappers but I can dig a lot of the club songs these days. They seem like one-hit wonders most of the time but, given the right circumstances, they can be good jams.If anyone is looking for awesome nighttime driving music (really chill), please check out Sigur Ros and Mogwai. Sigur Ros is an Icelandic band so the songs aren't in English but the music composition is absolutely stunning and atmospheric. Mogwai is similar but the songs that do contain singing are in English. Mogwai also has a bit more of a rock sound.On a final note, do yourself a favor and look up One Cloud by Rob Martino on YouTube. It is hard to believe that all of that music is coming from one guy and one instrument (Chapman stick). It's awesome!

All I read from that long a$$ post of yours was "The Mars Volta"...and now I'm your new best friend 8)

Haha, right on! It's good to encounter another fan. They're a sick band!

Today I'm into The Pretty Reckless... love them too

Well I'm sitting in line at the one gas station near my house that has a generator to pump gas listening to Brand New...Cheers me up

+1 for Mars VoltaDon't own anything, but the four or five tracks I've heard over the years never leave my brain until I walk into a wall.

Their album De-Loused in the Comatorium is unreal...Never heard anything so strange that just hit home like that

I'll go a week after listening to The Widow from Frances the Mute and not be able to get it outta my head.

Love how a bump on this thread is all that's needed when my playlists are getting stale Lots of new things to look at/for. Thanks!BTW... TMV reminds me of a little more epic version of early Muse, whom I adore. Check out the stuff off their album Absolution, and Origin of Symmetry. Good stuff.
