Shinobi vs Dragon Ninja by Lostprophets.

With a name like that, you have to give it a go.

*shakes fist at poor recording quality of debut albums*

*collapses*

Actually, I should of have seen it coming. It's too early to get her to listen to Metal. ._.
Perhaps one day, when her music taste develops.

She did say that she liked the Kazoo version of Enter Sandman by Metallica. Unfortunately, the actual version did not please her. We have at least made some progress.

c_r_a_p_p_y_!

[Thufir]

Myself, I'm getting an impulse to just link some of my favourite pieces/songs from as many different genres as I can think of.
Not that I expect HPsauce to like them necessarily. Just for the hell of it.

well atleast try listening to 'DIZEE RASCAL Bonkers'

[Nameless]

Sorry Fred, but seriously, my 11 year old sister and my 10 year old brother are more open minded when it comes to music.

Who knows, maybe she'll at least like ABBA

I've listened to a lot of Dizee Rascle.

*Yawns* The Beatles are better than every single band you've mentioned so far, guys, and, as we all know, ever girl goes through a Beatles phase at one point or another. Just throw on She Loves You *shrugs*

That's what I did, but only 1 was available in Britland.

And remember the rules, new people.

Yeah, not everyone is like you, Nameless.

[Edge]

Wait...

I think what we need is repetitiveness.

Mayhaps some grunge would work?

Black Hole Sun - Soundgarden.

I know. But if we can't even get her to open up to Tears for Fears, I doubt we can open her up to a 60's band. Even if they did completely revolutionise music AND the world.

@^: No, we won't get her into Grunge. Not yet anyway.

[Quincunx]

OK, I wasn't explicit last time (or ever, honestly), so while I listen to Black Eyed Peas, is there anything, what's the word, notable about the songs you do like? Matching up by genre isn't working so maybe there's some other sort of hook. (So far Black Eyed Peas has got danceable beats as well as a bit of a song over it. There might be some compatible stuff on the fringes of alternative hip-hop where the DJs remembered to make their synth tuneful, but ALL of the usual "but this is better than kee-rap, just try it" DJs will be strikes. That's NO Muse, NO Atmosphere, NO Sage, just don't.)

[Thufir]

5 is as many genres as you can think of? Also, I could get 3 of them.
Now, time to start trawling youtube...

Yes by the way i do like ABBA. Are you finally ready to addmit that you can't change the music i like.

You win some you lose some. I honestly thought this would work though.

And I just asked her what her opinion was on The Beatles, she said that she didn't like them.

MUSE! That's it! We'll try Muse!

Yeah... Wait, have you tried telling her that most of the artist she listens to LIKES the Beatles, Tears for Fears, Europe and many many more of the classics?

[Raistlin1040]

I know. But if we can't even get her to open up to Tears for Fears, I doubt we can open her up to a 60's band. Even if they did completely revolutionise music AND the world.

The Beatles revolutionized THE UNIVERSE.

Beatles In Space, anyone? No one will get this in-joke, just realized.

Also, Tears For Fears kicks ass.

Edit: Fred, disown your sister.

[Edge]

We're not trying to change it, but... broaden your musical horizons.

EDIT: I was going to go on Random Play All in Windows Media Player and then link a youtube video, but it came up with Sugar by System of a Down. Not a good idea.

[HPsauce]

MUSE! That's it! We'll try Muse!

You won't believe this but the muse are........ CRAP!

[Recaiden]

5 is as many as I had you tube links readily available to.

And then I added a 6th
Pop, Rap, Techno, Rock, Japanese Pop(Not really a fifth thing), oh, and folk.

[Fredthefighter]

Exactly.

Unfortunately Raistlin, I do not wish to disown her (I have no one else to play PS2 games with ). So unless I can find a replacement, that option is barred (and I care about her too much to do that)

[HPsauce]

sweet and that is so true.

[Edge]

This is a real long shot, but perhaps the song that got me into metal, or at least it's live version.

I fully expect this to backfire.

[Nameless]

You won't believe this but the muse are........ CRAP!

I hope you're one of those people that just go through this faze...
I've met a lot of them. They listen to modern pop and modern R&B, but then when they actually begin to understand what music is, and music theory on some level, they begin to appreciate different types of music, perhaps whilst still listening to modern pop and R&B.
And by the way, yes Lady GaGa is pretty good, but I prefer Pink.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a date with Iron Maiden.

*Would have disowned his sister if she hadn't reacted positively to Beatles-Therapy*

If she doesn't like The Beatles, no way in hell she'll enjoy other such brilliance as David Bowie, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, The Police, or Alice Cooper, I assume?

[Quincunx]

(whaps Nameless upside the head) Did I not just say "NO Muse"? Sad to note, the songs which I was going to reference, while referred to repeatedly on my home board, weren't ever named there, and the CD in question is in storage somewhere. Where, exactly, I no longer know. Catching up with the resident expert in independent hip-hop will take a day or more and explaining what I'm after will probably take another day.

Someone has stripped most of the '80s-era Madonna off of YouTube. Probably the lady herself. Shame--it would fit. "Frozen" is still available, but that was in the '90s and is less beat-driven and swans around more. It won't be a great match but it will be listenable.

I doubt it. Also, she says goodnight.

I do have good news: She likes the music of Jonathan Coulton.
Maybe not a large bit of progress to some but it's still progress.

How about Within Temptation?

She's gone to sleep now, but I like them. (I doubt she would though)

I wouldn't bother, she's already shown us that she doesn't like darker things.

[Recaiden]

Yeah, I really like them. But from what she's liked so far, I doubt HPS would.
