Check out this thread, http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=26746.0.

Even if it is illegal I think the chance of being caught by law would be pretty small but it always feels better to be on the legal side.

I checked if they are on myspace for you, here they are: http://www.myspace.com/screamingtrees this is Screaming Trees

3 years ago I'd love this kind of music, but now I've moved on they are still ok to listen to, though

This is really not my kind of music, I can't stand that guitar. I think it was pretty boring music, Nirvana is much better.

Some people's taste in music seems to change when they get older.

I still like the same music as I did when I was eight, except I don't like inspiral carpets anywhere near as much as I did then.

However my tastes did widen into different genres. I exposed myself to heavy stuff until I found artists I like, for example.

Ten years ago I wouldn't have liked "Amen", "KMFDM" or "Idiot Pilot".

My music taste have changed alot the last 2 years, 3 years ago my favorite band was Iron Maiden and I was totally into heavy metal, now I never listen to that music. I listened to Bob Dylan too though who I still listen to but I think that's the only artist I still listen to.

C'mon.
Grim Fandango.

I'll second that, nothing beats Grim Fandango.

Other favorites are Full Throttle, Monkey Island 1-3 (the 4th one falls out of the line even though it was pretty good), Broken Sword 1 and The Neverhood.

I hate Nirvana though... all sounds the same. If you think Nirvana is good, listen to Screaming Trees. They're better. And they got Mark Lanegan... Great singer.

I am not a huge fan of Nirvana but I think they are pretty good. So, are you saying I should like Screaming Trees if I like Nirvana? I'll try to check them out. Know of any web site were you can download there songs for free?

[Best ROCK songs(In no particular order)]

I can't pick one favorite song but here is some of my favorites:

Supertramp - Hide In Your Shell
Supertramp - A Soapbox Opera
The Band - King Harvest
The Band - Stagefright
The Doors - When the Musics Over

I think neither Hendrix nor Page could outmatch Knopfler's solo play in that particular song (after the "like a rollin river" part).

They are all amzing guitarists but I must say I like Robbie Robertson of The Band better than all of them. Ever listened to The Band? Robbie usually keeps his solos pretty short but on Forbidden Fruit he pulls of a long and mind blowing solo.

Yeah, hard to say what is the "best", as there's such a huge selection, and depends on a person's musical tastes and even the mood you might be in at the time.

But I thought this topic was interesting as it reminded me of a recent news-article in which it's suggested that Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone" song is now named "The greatest song of all time": http://edition.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/Music/06/27/dylan.stone/index.html

Though it's a good song, I don't know if I'd call it "The Greatest"...

It sure is a great song but I think one have to have lived in america during the 60's to fully understand the power behind the lyrics. Did you know that there is a full book about this song? I have been thinking about buying it.

I have a hard time trying to narrow it down like this.. because most of the things would probably be classified as Jazz..

Best ROCK songs(In no particular order)
Frank Zappa-Black Napkins
Bob Dylan-Hurricane
Frank Zappa-Muffin Man(The Bongo Fury version)
Joe Walsh-Funk #49
Joe Walsh-Eyes of the Confessor
Steely Dan-Bodhisattva
Golden Earring-Mad Love's Comin'
Led Zepellin-In my Time of Dying
Budgie-Napolean Bona Parts 1&2 (Along with the entire Impeckable album)
Allman Brothers-You can't Lose what you Never Had

By the way, Argent's version of God Gave Rock n' Roll to you is the best.....

Have you ever heard of Dylans version of In my Time of Dying? It is also really good but I think Led Zeppelins version is better though.

The ACR thread sounds like a good way to go. It's going to take a while until I finish my first game though.

I think you're getting picked on because it was your sixth post, and so the thread is a bit of a non sequitur. I don't expect everyone I walk past at the grocery store to give me a list of their favourite bands -- nor am I interested.

My sixth post? So what? What does "non sequitur" mean (I'm swedish)?

I don't expect everybody on these forums to give me a list of their favorite bands -- but I am interested, see, that's how you and I are different.

Edit: Why shouldn't I post there if I have something to say?

Because we are oppressed by the moderators under strict rules. And like mindless puppets, we obey. (Occasionally)

Seriously though, they just don't like having old threads popping up clogging away the new ones. Or something like that. I've been here for ages and I still don't get it.

Oh, right, my favourate bands:

Jesus Jones
Stabbing Westward
The Wonder Stuff
The Faint
The Soup Dragons

This really doesn't begin to define the genres I listen to though.

Ok, seems like I'll have to have a little talk with the mods then. :p

I haven't even heard of any of those bands.

Ok, thanks for all the posts. I guess it's hard to find anything not copyrighted but then again, laws are there to be broken...right?

[Bob Dylan: A simple thief?]

Whoops.., I absolutely forgot about that, but gonna record it today or tommorow. Anyone else for extending?

Yeah, then maybe I will enter too.

Bob Dylan: A simple thief?[/u]

I just did some research on Dylan considering it's his birthday and all. Sadly, I've found out about a very dark and shameful part of his career. In 1971, Adolf Hitmaker and his band wrote the song 'If You See Her, Say Hello' but never had the means to record it. They have played it live, but the only known (or remembered) occasion was in a gymnastics hall sometime in 1972. It seems Bob Dylan was there and heard the performance, because 3 years later it popped up on his album 'Blood On The Tracks', an album considered by many to be his absolute best. Whether he was there to see the ping pong-match that was in progress or if he'd heard of Hitmaker will probably not ever be revealed. It is rather obvious that Dylan stole this song without hesitation and most likely ruined Hitmaker's chances of a commercial breakthrough forever.

I would like to present you with Adolf Hitmaker & The Incompetent's far superior version of the song 'If You See Her, Say Hello'. Most likely recorded by accident by someone who was at the hall for the game.

Whatever happened to Hitmaker or any members of The Incompetents is still unknown. But they will hopefully one day get their proper credits for this marvelous song.



Dylan's version of the song is on 1975's 'Blood On The Tracks'

However, no matter how embarrasing this revealing is Dylan is surely worthy of a good 65:th birthday. Happy birthday you old thief!

Really? Where did you find this info (link please )? I love Dylans music but this sounds terrible.Ã,  Ã, 


Edit: Nice entrys Skurwy and Evil. Did you come up with that version of Baby Let Me Follow You Down by yourself Evil? It is always interesting when people makes different version of songs (just like Dylan always do on concerts ).

Eggie, your link doesn't work for me, have checked it yourself?

Here are a few threads from the past, the majority of forum goers posted in there so give that a read if you want to know what people like. Please don't post in them though unless you really feel you need too. If you like some music someone else likes, PM them maybe and let them know.

Maybe

Wow, this is the most picky forum I've ever visit.

First of all, only one of those topics concerned music bands and that was about recently discovered bands, I would like to know what everybodys favorite bands are. I really don't think this is a spam topic.

Edit: Why shouldn't I post there if I have something to say?

This has already been done before and is somewhere in the Popular Threads forum. There's several around, so I won't give you any links.

Nope, not in the Puplar Threads, I have searched there.

I think the eurovision song contest is a joke and Lordi wasn't very good. But then again, nobody was. It's nice to see a metal band win though instead of some boring pop artist.

I am new to these forums and would like to see what bands everybody here is listening to. I myself listen mostly to rock music from the 60's and 70's, the time when rock music was evolving from all kinds of music genres with the result of very interesting and experimental music, I love it!

My favorite bands are:

1. Supertramp
2. The Band
3. The Doors
4. Led Zeppelin
5. Neil Young

I leave this topic open for any discussions concerning music.

I am just wondering what music is legal to have in a AGS game? Am I comitting a crime if I'm using music from my favorite CD or maybe my favorite game in my own AGS game, or do we all have to make our own music?

Edit: And yes, lets say I let other people have the game.

So I made a virus search and had to put a file in quarantine, that did it! Problem solved. 

I've just tried demos but I've tried a bunch so I mean some should have worked. I don't remember all the names but I remember loom2.

Every time when I try to pack up a game I've downloaded from this site I get the message "The file is corrupt" and I can't pack up the whole game. I use WinRar to pack up.

Does anybody have any idea what the problem could be? I'm new here...
