The Friday Question: 11/9/07

Started by Mike Olbinski · 10 months ago

I’m so glad it’s Friday and that the weekend is almost here. It also means that a week from today Jina and I leave for Texas for Thanksgiving and I cannot wait. It’s been so warm in Phoenix lately, but in Jefferson, TX, it was almost freezing the other night ... Continue reading »

    Favorite all time: Five Iron Frenzy (I never grew out of the ska kick of the late 90's, and these guys were my favorite.) However, they saw the light and realized ska was dead and broke up. Ah well. At least I'll always have the CD's and mp3's.

    Matt, that is soooo crazy that you listen to FIF. Nicky and I were HUGE Five Iron Frenzy fans. Kingdom.... of the Dinosaurs!

    I have way too many bands to choose from... let me think about this.

    I gotta go with Sweet Water. An alternative group that was big on the Seattle scene in the 90's. Since my music listening is usually all over the map, I need to throw in 2-Pac as my favorite rapper and Earth, Wind and Fire for RB as well.

    Anyone who knows me know I'll listen to just about anything. There's really just 2 kinds of music I don't like; one's Country, and the other's...wait for it..Western.

    Just about anything else goes. I usually lean to slightly harder, edgier stuff, but I'll listen to everything from Linkin Park to Black eyed Peas to Eminem to Snow Patrol.

    Om my gosh Matt, we have so many Five Iron memories to share with you!
    I am a music junkie so it is hard to choose but... my favorite bands are:
    The Killers (I can't wait for the B-sides album next week!) check out their songs Bones, Shadowplay or This River is Wild.
    David Crowder Band, check out A Beautiful Collison or Remedy (too many to mention really).
    No Doubt (they're reuniting next year, woo hoo!) my fave songs of theirs is Sunday Morning.
    Other bands I love are 311, Jimmy Eat World, Bloc Party, Mute Math, Duran Duran, White Stripes, and Cake.
    Let's not even get into individual music artists because then I could go on and on and on. :)

    I just read today that No Doubt was inspired by Ska, which is sometime I may or may not have knew before :)

    I do like No Doubt though.

    Mike, you just read today about No Doubt being inspired by Ska? Their first 2 albums were ska. Maybe home schooling affected this :)

    Like I said, I may or may not have heard that before, I just forgot :)

    It does sound familiar though...
