Seals and Crofts appreciation thread[views:4239][posts:8]_________________________________ [Sep 25,2007 11:47pm - Ryan_M ""] Such wonderful music - some "metalheads" may call me a pussy for liking them, but since I don't identify with that label anymore, I reccomend these guys as something essential to look into for people who can/would like to try to appreciate great songwriting outside of the heavy metal genre.

I'm not going to call you a pussy because I listen to alot of "whimpy" stuff, most metal heads would call gay/hippie crap. Check out early brian eno releases like "Before And After Science" and my personal favorite Eno album "Discreet Music" which is pretty much the building blocks for Aphex Twin, Autechre, Boards of Canada and many others in the Idm/chillout scene. I can give you a list of 100s of albums to check out in the chillout genre |

But yeah I like to stretch outside the metal genre every now and then - which I'm sure all metal fans do, but some of them are scared to admit it in fear of being called a weiner or something. |

Some of the best metal acts in history drew much influence from other genres. if I remember correctly Fenriz's biggest inspiration is Uriah Heep. |
