Title: Do you people like System of a Down?
Post by: Beezy on January 06, 2011, 02:23:41 PM: Why or why not? If yes, how would you rank their albums? I'm trying to settle an argument between me and a friend. Here's my ranking:

Toxicity
Steal This Album
Mezmerize
Hypnotize
.
.
System of a Down

At least that's how I think I ranked them when I listened to them regularly. I know for a fact that their self titled album was my least favorite.

Post by: demi on January 06, 2011, 02:27:11 PM: I only remember the one CD they released... Toxicity? Sorry, can't help. I went past the 9th grade and stopped listening to them.

Post by: Brehvolution on January 06, 2011, 02:56:31 PM: I don't skip a SOAD song when it comes up on random listening. Toxicity is my favorite album of theirs Though my fav song of theirs is BYOB.
Title: Re: Do you people like System of a Down?
Post by: Robo on January 06, 2011, 03:03:14 PM: I like them more than any other nu-metal band and less than nearly every other band of any genre, except for Muse, The Eagles and Aerosmith.
Title: Re: Do you people like System of a Down?
Post by: Beezy on January 06, 2011, 03:06:14 PM: No one can rank their albums? That was actually the main reason for this.
Title: Re: Do you people like System of a Down?
Post by: demi on January 06, 2011, 03:07:34 PM: Most of us arent aware they made a new song beyond... oh shoot what was the one
Title: Re: Do you people like System of a Down?
Post by: Mr. Gundam on January 06, 2011, 03:08:01 PM: I don't, but Toxicity and BYOB are pretty fun to sing in Rock Band while drunk.
Title: Re: Do you people like System of a Down?
Post by: Robo on January 06, 2011, 03:11:09 PM: Didn't they do that one song, Down with the Sickness or something? That's my favorite.

it's pointing out the error in your reasoning

in this case, that anything which likes System of a Down would be considered a "person"

Foreigner is easily tied for the worst my friend. I'd have chosen priest rape over a steady dose of foreigner during my childhood.

I just like and respect Pink's voice.

I'm more into singer/songwriter folk with a soul edge. Amos Lee, Ben Harper, Damian Rice, Ray Lamontagne. But you can't jog or work out to that stuff.
