Different people have different preferences, for sure. I'm not a big progressive rock fan, for example, despite the talent level of those bands usually being really high.Quote:

Rage is heavy metal meets punk rock meets rap.
The older crowd might appreciate The Ramones or The Sex Pistols.
Rage is a more modern take on that with influences from heavy metal and rap. Its the same angry, misunderstood emotional outburst of energy type stuff. Just a new generation's take on it. You might not like it, but surely you get it.
Ummm, Bulls on Parade was released in 1996, making it older than some of our football players. If you like Springsteen, you might want to check out Rage's cover of "The Ghost of Tom Joad", it's more mellow than "Bulls", but dark and brooding.Quote:

...and we should dedicate the refrain starting about 4:35 to all of the media who predict us to finish last in the West.
Oh, man. That really hurts!Quote:

This is NSFW due to language but it is a damn awesome song. If you haven't heard of Ryan Bingham you have to check it him out.

The Racountours' "Salute Your Solution"

I think Derek Cody put that music to the Ladarius Perkins Egg Bowl in Oxford.
Anyway the chorus fits us:
And I got what I got all despite you
And I get what I get just to spite you
I wonder how many of our players know any of these songs bc I have to be honest I don't know any of them.
That's cause all you listen to is Buffett, Dan. But tbh, I don't know any of these either. I know the artist, just not the songs. Not my taste/style of music.Quote:

This one is hard to beat
Ha. Buffett wasn't a knock on Dan whatsover! I just happen to know that's one of Dan's fave singers. Dan's not but a few years older than me. I'm 39. I do love some Pearl Jam though & yes I know some NWA too.Quote:

Lightning crashes. And Live is a bad ass 90s band. Love them.Quote:

It seems that what happens is just a mash-up of noise built around a few good riffs these days. JMO.Quote:

(I had three or four more linked, but apparently I hit my limit. Probably a wise feature to have on the board . . . .)
To bring it back around to the original idea of the thread, here's my pick for a theme song for MSU football in 2015:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAt7hK_zKr0
Sample of the lyrics:
A pox upon the media
And everything you read
They tell you your opinions
And they're very good indeed
I wanna destroy you
Maybe a little too aging retired hipster, but I think it fits the mood pretty well.
Bullshit, overproduction is the biggest thing wrong with music today IMO. Totally cuts the edge out of it. I want something raw and powerful, not something neutered and overly shiny.Quote:
