Know any good techno?

[carpenator]

Techno is thrown around a lot as a generic name. What I suggest it trying to find what segment you like. Electronic, Big Beat, House, Jungle Beat, the list goes on.

Some of my favorites:

Chemical Brothers
Fat Boy Slim
Crystal Method
L.A. Style (Old School, James Brown is Dead)
Prodigy (Rock/Big Beat)
Daft Punk (Pop/Electronic) Got to hear Tecnologic, that song is a Hardware Geek Anthem.
Andy Hunter (Christian/House)
Kraftwerk (Way Old School)

I listen to Yahoo's Launchcast and so when it finds an artist I like it plays more of that type of music so that has worked for me. You just have to ban Justin Timberlake and those types of artists as they pop up ever once in awhile.

Good Luck,

Roger

Don't know who did it, but I kind liked the techno version of Cotten Eye Joe!!!

Mmm, I wouldn't know what it's called, but I like the songs like the ones I forementioned. I have heard Prodigy and I did like it, along with Crystal Method. :)

I should check it up. Thanks so far!

The Crystal Method is still one of my favorites, and someone finally mentioned Kraftwerk. ATB is some decent stuff, and Juno Reactor is great too.

BTW- Linkin Park is as fake as the Backstreet Boys. Killswitch Engage ftw.

I take offense to that(not alot of offense tho), the backstreet boys cant scream like chester! PArk puts on a great show, and has some really good music. I have been to 5 if Linkin Parks' shows and have enjoyed myself. Their music is put together well and they have fun with it. They are not SCREAMO so if thats the kind of band you like then I can see why you wouldnt like em.

I remember back in the day when all bands that used keyboards were suck bands. Until Judas Preist used them on the Torbo album, then my whole music world changed and I found a ton of music that I had been missing out on.

You're thinking of Robbie Williams

I actually like Linkin Park. For their intended genre, I think they did a fine job.

Yup! Linkin Park is my favorite band. I have every single album, lots of unreleased songs, all the Undergrounds.... :)

LMAO, your showing your Age with that one Redleg. I seem to remember that one being quite popular in the mid 90's, when I was in my mid 20's and you were in your mid 40's .

Well I hope it's better then the stuff they did release. IMO Hybrid Theory was the only good one.

Meteora took a little time to work on me, but after a while, I fell in love with it. I immediately loved Hybrid Theory though... good stuff right there. The newer stuff, like Collision Course w/ Jay-Z took a specific taste for you to like it. I personally liked it, but then again, I listen to mostly rap.

All the new Underground stuff has gone into emo/blah scream stuff... it's not the stuff it was a couple years ago. For an example, check up the song Qwerty by them. You'll see what I mean.

I hate it though when the emo takes over a band... Green Day and AFI went down the drain that way, but their stuff is still decent. Just can't beat the original stuff.

EDIT: IMO, it's still a kickass song... . I just can't hate it.
