An extremely talented band,
Keith Emerson is a God on the keyboard, piano,and synthesizer. He even plays two at the same time at live performances and in songs like Trilogy.
Greg Lake uses bass and is amazing in creating good synchronizations and bass-lines. Also his voice is very clear and can change pitch very smoothly.
Carl Palmer can create complicated drum beats and keep them in rhythm.
The band is very talented yet not many people know about them today, probably because they didn't have guitar (they were amazing without it) so stupid preps weren't all over them and screaming about them.
They are Gods so I recommend listening to Knife-Edge cause if you're the average person you will like it.

prep: This is Emerson, Lake & Palmer? Their guitar sounds weird.
ELP fan: That's synthesizer not guitar.
prep: It doesn't sound like the background music of rap songs.
ELP fan: Yeah, the person playing the synthesizer has talent. And the singer can pronounce Cadillac right.

Get the Emerson, Lake & Palmer mug.A more popular form of a Punkish type of Rock. It loses (most or all of) the additutde of Punk while keeping its 1 2 3 rhythm. Good Pop-Punk bands would be old Blink-182, Old Sum 41, American Hi-Fi, Zebrahead, and Motion City Soundtrack. Bad Pop-Punk bands would be new Sum 41, Fall Out Boy, Panic! At The Disco and The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus.
Pop-Punk was a style that was around in the 80's but made a bigger spring in the late 90's and early 21st century. Pushing away the horrible Madonna and Britney influenced techno which clouded up the 90's.
Characteristics of Pop-Punk include
A 1 2 3 Rhythm
Clean vocals
By the way to all you guys who say Punk was anti-mainstream it really wasn't. Because The Ramones and The Sex Pistols and The Clash were mainstream so how they be anti-mainstream?
Anyway more recently Pop-Punk has taken a turn to more emotional types of lyrics, usually from the point of view of a boy who is observing problems that a girl is having or problems he is having with a girl.

Get the the oatmeal code mug.A genre of music that appeared in the 90's. It uses elements of Hip-Hop and Hardcore. The style is not Metal, it is associated with Metalcore. Examples of Nu-Metal are:
Korn
Linkin Park
Slipknot
Nu-Metal is hated with a passion by Metalheads, yet, without Nu-Metal tons of Metalheads wouldn't exist. Nu-Metal provides a good middle ground for people who like pop music but aren't ready for the growls, and shrieks of Metal. Most people who get into Nu-Metal end up listening to Metal afterwards.

Get the nu-metal mug.Also CRH.
Someone who only listens to Classic Rock and dislikes all modern music.
They usually listen to these bands
- Led Zeppelin
- The Beatles
- The Doors
- Pink Floyd
- The Who
- Jimi Hendrix
- AC/DC
They usually only listen to 2 or 3 of them regularly. Classic Rock-Heads condemn modern music when they probably never heard any due to them listening to Led Zeppelin all day. The only modern band they know of is Fall Out Boy, they usually never heard any of their music but condemn them because another Classic Rock-Head did.
Classic Rock-Heads believe any guitarist past 1990 has no talent. Therefore they have no interest in Tom Morello. They also think Velvet Revolver is bad and say Slash is bad now.
Although Classic Rock is good they think that no other music is good.

Get the Classic Rock-Head mug.A music style that formed in the 80's out of reggae influence. It was forming a little bit after the rap style was formed. It borrowed the spoken type of lyrics and it had trumpet and very upbeat and stimulating rhythms.
Hip-hop is different from rap because rap is very poetic but it has a beat to keep a steady flow, (a beat as in drums or anything that makes a short sound) It (was) started/influnced with/by the James Brown song "The Big Comeback"
Hip-hop got mixed up with rap when Run-D.M.C. came in, they created songs that were a mix of both styles, such as "King of Rock", it had poetic lyrics, drums and guitar which had savory rhythm. Run-D.M.C. were very good with poetry and they used Hip-hop melodies and rap beats mixed in their songs.
Modern Hip-hop is called rap but it isn't very poetic, it is almost like 80's Hip-hop but the reggae influence has been replaced with synth, the modern "rappers" are actually Hip-hop artists but the average person calls them rappers because it is shorter than "Hip-hop artist". Out of the laziness of people to say 2 words instead of one; Hip-hop and rap have been mixed up.
Rap is dead these days and the last rappers were Run-D.M.C. and maybe Tupac.
I do not like modern Hip-hop cause the artists try to make catchy, rhyming lyrics but because they don't have poetic minds they have to slur and mispronounce words to make them rhyme. Example: the song "Throw some D's" you hear the word "caddilick" a lot. I listen to the song just to laugh at it, I am even laughing as I write this.
Hip-hop was a great upbeat style but it is now all about image, the best of modern Hip-hop is ok to me but I really liked the early Hip-hop.
