Well the majority of the jazz that was played in high school and at the festival was Dixieland, that's what's turned me off of the genre for the most part. I know I shouldn't judge a whole genre by one sub category but we all have our preferences. If you know a place that plays anything besides K-pop, hip-hop, rap and over sampled/badly translated Western music...then please let me know...I'm getting a little bored listening to the same songs on the ipod.

Oh to the OP...sorry for hijacking/derailing the thread Embarassed


Of course I know tons of places that play music other than Korean pop--I just figured it would be off topic in this thread, as the OP was clearly interested in pop music.

If it's at the gym:

Pink Floyd - Echoes
Pantera - Vulgar display of power
8 Foot Sativa - Season for Assault
System of a Down - System of Down
Marlyn Manson - Antichrist Superstar

With the volume up, that soul destroying k-pop never gets a second of my gym time.

Something loud with good bass lines and guitar riffs.....(this is what I had playing on mine. They all have good beats/speed, are easy to listen to, good vocals, and loud enough on minimal volume that you can drown out the music, the TVs, conversations, it's nice)

Specific songs:

I stand alone--Godsmack
Bodies hit the floor--Staind (or is it Stained...can't remember)
Come out and Play--Offspring
Closer---Nine Inch Nails
Dead Souls--Nine Inch Nails
Rob Zombie--More Human than Human


Various songs
Type O Negative
AC/DC
Alice Cooper
Def Leppard
Motley Crue
Ozzy
Poison
Kid Rock
Cherry Poppin Daddies (Swing music is good for keeping the rhythm going).

Sam Kinison, George Carlin, Dennis Leary, and Chris Rock are all decent for blocking it out and occasionally getting strange looks from those around you as you start laughing for apparently no reason. Laughing

I found this a few days ago when looking for some 'Bremen Town Musicians' material. My current favourite.

Instead of examples that you probably have already heard (offspring, nirvana, ect.) try something new.

Misery Signals: Complete opposite of k-pop. Melodic hardcore. http://youtube.com/watch?v=CqRkYBTCv3Y

Underoath: A little less screaming than Misery Signals. Again, melodic hardcore. http://youtube.com/watch?v=xu7aF_df6WU

They're "special" and more in touch with the human condition, so it's acceptable to make fun of others for having different tastes in music and for mis-classifying music.
