    @Corwinnn Of all the things I would put on my "will not listen" list, Coldplay and Eric Clapton are not even remotely close to being the first thing to spring to mind, haha. That's a pretty odd dislike, though I think Eric Clapton is irrationally dull.

    Personally I have this unnatural bias towards almost all kinds of electronic music... just makes my head hurt.
  • CorwinnnCorwinnn
    @Grimshac - Well Clapton is mostly just an association to something bad... much like Stairway to Heaven. I know people love them, but I can't listen to them without thinking about something terrible... so I choose not to listen.

    You sound like a cartoon crocodile in northeastern Africa. "Just let me live in da' Nile!"

    XD

    @Corwinnn-please note that all music is beautiful. I hate the majority of certian bands (AC/DC, Rise Against, Avenged Sevenfold), but each band has a song that I like (Back in Black, Hero of War, and So Far Away). it is a matter of finding what you like within what you don't like. Also, I don't think that coldplay covers other people's music. Sure, they have had a lot of people claim rights to some of their songs, but, with any succecfull band, that will happen.

    @stormbreath

    That all music is beautiful is... well, a personal opinion, I guess, but it will be a cold day in hell before I call most music "beautiful" - go to youtube, search "blood for the blood god acoustic" and tell me that's beautiful :P
    Funny? Yes. Dreadful? Absolutely! Beautiful? I hope not x-X

    @stormbreath - It's pretty much just those three I don't want to listen to. Everything else is open for business.

    Beauty is beholden unto naught but itself, that such irreverence could be mastered is the hollow dream of a madman.

    You know, like unicorns and rainbows.

    oh boy...

    If possible, please do not debate in the contest unless it pertains to an entry

    @Grimshac: It's "borderline" in terms of the rules, but Storm the Sorrow would be perfect for this contest.

    @kauyon: T_T

    @saveria201: Nice card!

    @CrucibleOfHate, @stormbreath, @Grimshac, anyone else to whom it may concern: Since this Screamo part seems to have everyone in a bind, I'll be more general and just say that songs with excessive screaming lyrics aren't allowed.

    To whom it may concern: Though some may be opposed to it, I have my reasons for banning certain types of music, yet allowing others. Though these restrictions have a decent bit of wiggle room, they will still be enforced whenever I feel necessary.

    can i do metallica??

    *innocent face*
  • TommiaTommia
    @ostewart so long as it isn't an especially religious or obscene one, of course! I've seen plenty of cards based on Metallica songs though, so try to be original!
  • GrimshacGrimshac
    @Tommia

    If we don't debate a contest, what's the point? Contests should change and improve over time, and this is one way to do it, wouldn't you say? Besides, it freely bumps your thread with at least semi-relevant conversation.

    Also, you didn't answer my question about The Spirit Carries On?
  • TommiaTommia
    @Grimshac Whoops!

    About "The Spirit Carries On." After some consideration, I'm tossing that rule and replacing it with "no excessively anti-religious or sinful content."
  • stormbreathstormbreath
    @Grimshac-I said that all music is beautiful. Not that all music is beautiful to everyone. I hate Grateful Dead, or Kayne West, or Eminem, and you can hate music of types. I like music I think is beautiful, and so do you.

    PS: @Corwinnn-as far as I know, you have no implicit hatred of Coldplay besides there "Cover Frenzy", so I think this would be nice for you to listen to:

    As far as I know, this is a completely coldplay origional. (Besides, if I wanted to, I could connect Back in Black with Haleluiah. It's simply which songs are closer to each other.)

    @stormbreath

    Pedantry. I absolutely love this song, but I wouldn't call it beautiful. Powerful, rather. Beautiful? I think not.

    @Tommia

    In that case: The Spirit Carries On

    There is a link in the comment section.

    Second entry - Storm the Sorrow, by Epica
  • CorwinnnCorwinnn
    @Grimshac - Great song. Not a huge fan of that growling style of singing, but it works here because it's understandable and very melodic. Adding that to the good pile!
  • kauyonkauyon
    Here are a few songs I believe are beautiful.







    The list could go on and on. I just really love music that embraces thoughtfulness, deep self-expression and the celebration of the intricacies of sound on a level that resonates with my inner self. And isn't that what being human is all about.

    @Corwinnn Indeed - I am not a huge fan of the harsh vocal style either, but I do have some odd ones out here and there, Ghost Brigade being one of them, for those somber days.

    Wow... this discussion fascinates me. Or rather - the existence and perpetuation of this discussion among the normally quick and lighthearted discussions on this forum... fascinates me.

    I have yet to see a song or artist mentioned that I didn't like. This site needs more hipsters for me to yell at.
