What could possibly inspire me to hand over money in exchange for shite commercial American cock-rock? Even so, I'm going to try and at least stay on the score board this time.

I figured the emails were just broken/lagged, but you're still not showing up on scoreboards for me, and my sweet child o' mine should be exactly the same as yours anyway, I can't be bothered to download it again >_>

I'm sorry what?! They started with the purpose of being different to the cock rock that was around at that time, their genre is sleaze rock, they are successful so that makes them commercial? Like every other successful band then. As for why would you pay, it's a classic album! You sir are just plain wrong.

Maybe, but I still don't like them.

I'm glad someone else said it first. I'll pass on this one.

to me they're a bit like nirvana really, utterly shit and way overrated.

Well, regardless of my opinion of the band, the track's quite varied with a great downhill to finish off with. Not too taxing, but with nice movement. Also, despite me not liking the band particularly, I'm not that bothered by the song as to put me off playing it.

Finally, somebody with the same take on Nirvana as me. They are utter shit and the world was a much better place as soon the back of his skull and brains settled on the wall behind him.

he's also the ancestor of all emo's. that alone makes his wall-decorating skills worth it.

Sorry for off topicness, but i just cleared 93,383 for SCOM.

Pete, you may commit seppuku for forcing me to listen to this pile of poop at your own convenience.

I just find it scary that there is this much of a stink over scom and not thriller.

Everybody loves a paedophile.

People are more annoyed by ... well annoying vocals... than they are a paedo

With that said, I quite like tracks like Sweet Child O' Mine, Paradise City and ... that other one... but I couldn't listen to them more than once in a row, which I inevitably would have to if I was trying for a decent score on audiosurf

My only problem with GnR is the fact that every popular song got played 4356897687346734690 times a day on every radio station, oversaturation makes a sad Aki.

I just don't particularly like Axl Rose's screechy voice, and the music isn't my sort of metal. As for Michael Jackson, I like his music (well, some of it). I don't particularly care about what he allegedly has or hasn't done. I don't listen to it because I like him.

I agree, although imho, just listening to it doesn't make you emo, it's how you behave.

(PS. Nirvana can eat a dick.)

How so? I've found a few mp3s where it knows the title but not the artist, and everything I find under properties is blank. Googling just gives me programs that will do it.

Edit: Looks like winamp will let me do it.
