i respect your taste, captain.

EDIT: never heard of them. gotta check them out, the black keys are my favorite band at the moment. so if they are similiar in some ways i probably will adore them.

EDIT II: I listened to them. To me they sound more like a soul-version of the Sonics.

It took me around 2 or so. I actually had to sit and think what music I generally listen to at specific times. Also, I know exactly what I want played at my funeral, but I really had to put some thought into wedding songs.

When I'm angry happy music just pisses me off more. Angry music makes me happier when I'm angry.

Emotions are a imaginative force. When i listen to Slicker Drips while i'm pissed i think i could rip apart cars and take down buildings with my bare hands. The truth is, i can't do that but for this short moment a world starts to exist where it is possible.

I get that, and I do like listening to music that makes me feel like I could punch through steel, but I usually go for that when i need to get pumped for something. When I am pissed I prefer to calm down with some Pink Floyd but I will stop posting in here now since this thread is about the list and I don't think I have the patience to even begin to decide what my answers would be.
