We'll play anything good, but mostly punk (I mean GOOD punk) grunge, and metel. Good rock. I have a band back in my town that's kind of the same thing and we have yet to find someone who doesn't like us (besides the parents who have to put up with practice sessions).

Think Nirvana, Green Day and Creed (minus the god jibberjabber) all put in a blender set to "Liquify", pour smothly onto a cookie sheet, bake at 350° for 20 minutes, and let cool. That's what we do.

: I would love to have a band like this! You guys could play at closing or you could have your own dance party in Epcot. I'd be willing to be in on the stage show (not much musical talent here except singing). I'd even wear my silver wig, or I could stick with the blond spikes. At any rate I think making a band would be a great idea. One question though, what kind of music?

Sounds pretty kick-$@#$@#$@# to me! The only other music I really like is techno so those types all work for me. I'll be dancin' to ya'll's music. (yes I am from the south, get over it.) My good friends are in a band and that's what they play, they're Rufus Porter, great name cool music.

I just think their ever so depresing lyrics composed by
someone who killed himself is kinda out of place at a
robotics competition, and just slightly misses the
spirit of first, a little. something upbeat would mesh
better, in my opinion.

i see...so you want our bands music to 'mesh' with the spirit of first...i suppose that the only song we should learn is like mr roboto?

Actually, the spirit of first isn't the robots.

The spirit of first is one of sportsmanship, kindness, charing, and other things of that sort. music expressing noble centiments like this would mesh.

besides, the real way that nirvana type music doesn't mesh is because it doesn't fit the festive atmosphere of a first competition.

how does first have anything to do with being uplifting? its about learning getting people interested in engineering, not about making people happy
anyways nirvana's lyrics arent even that depressing

I think that first is supposed to be uplifting, and
everyone's supposed to have a good time. and i think
that if the actual words and the tone of the music
aren't enough to thoroughly depress you, which i do,
the thought that you're listening to someone who was so
sad that they thought the best way out was to put a gun
in their mouth should suffice.

You can't tell me that music doesn't move you like
that. there are songs that when you hear them, they
just get you movin, like the rocky song, or the "we
will we will rock you" one, and various others. there
are also songs that make you happy, like bob marley's
"everthing is going to be alright", and songs that
depress you, like nirvana's songs. I think everyone
reacts this way to songs, and where as they may be
different from person to person, a large percentage of
people would say that nirvana songs and songs of that
ilk depress them. i think their songs are designed too
depress.

I'm not saying that i'm gonna hear the song and break
down and start crying, though i know people are moved
to tears by some songs, but i think it will still bring
the atmospher down to an at least not-as-happy

Mike

P.S. The songs given for examples are which ones work
which way for me. you may, and probably do, have
others in their plac

I agree with Mike Corliss....

I agree that music do effect how you are feeling. Basically any upbeat songs will get people happier and more spirited. Songs that songs more depressing and slower songs usually get people depressed. Can someone please tell me that they are not effected by music?? I doubt anyone is not effected by music.

Same here. Nirvana is ok, but listening to a guy singin' about "Lookin' Down the Barrel of a Gun" is not my idea of positivity at an event meant to inspire, which usually means uplifting spirits, kids and adults around the country, and I guess the world.
