What kind of music?

[Osterbaum]

I was just wondering, what kind of music does everyone listen to here? I mean the genre of the music you listen to and maby some bands too...

Well I will start by telling you what is found from my CD case (or my computer):

1. Sepultura
2. Slayer
3. Pantera
4. Metallica
5. Testament
6. Machine Head
7. At The Gates
8. Cream
9. AC/DC
10. Hurriganes (It's a finnish band so I don't exept anyone to know them)
11. Eppu Normaali (also a finnish band...)
12. The Very Best Of The Blues Brothers
13. Beatles

I think thats it...well it's your turn now!

[Meister]

Broadly spoken, Rock. The more weird and odd, the better. And when I say "Rock" it's really just for lack of a better word and because most of it features a guitar... I'll just throw in some names.

Current 93
Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
John Frusciante
Kumikameli (finnish... are they widely known over there?)
Eläkeläiset (equally finnish)
Ramones (most classic punk really, also e.g. the Misfits or the Stranglers)
Neil Young
Gun Club
NoMeansNo
Tom Waits

... the Moldy Peaches as of late... really, I could fill pages with my music collection and, more so, my attempts to explain it.

[Osterbaum]

Kumikameli? Never heard of them, but Eläkeläiset I have heard of...did you now that kumikameli means a rubber camel...Ramones is also good...have you heard of the Hurriganes...they played rock...

[AerodynamicHair]

Ska. I'm pretty sure all the non-ska people are pretty sick of the ska people by now, but I'll post anyway. Big Two-Tone guy, really, more into that wave than first or third wave, but third wave is the easiest to get, so I'll put most of that on here. Besides ska, maybe some punk and alternative, though I'll listen to just about anything except country. Sorry country people, I just can't stand the music, nothing against it.

1. The Mighty Mighty BossToneS
2. The Toasters
3. The Specials
4. The Skatalites
5. Laurel Aitken
6. Kemuri
7. Flogging Molly (not ska)
8. Harvey Danger (not ska)
9. Mustard Plug
10. DanceHall Crashers
11. Less Than Jake
12. Mad Caddies
13. They Might Be Giants (of course, not ska)
14. Two and a Half White Guys
And many others, if you order now! (man that was a stupid joke)

Favorite Band: Definitely the BossToneS. I'm so much of a fan, I'm even spelling their name with the random capitilizations. Most energetic, classy, brilliant bunch of guys ever in a band. Howwhywuz, Howwhyam, 747/shoe glue, and Dogs and Chaplains/Drugs and Kittens/Doves and Civilians are some of the greatest songs ever written. I'll stop now before I write a poem about their brilliance.

Oh Mighty Mighty BossToneS, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways...

[StormRider]

Classic Rock, mid-60s to mid-70s. The Beatles, The Who, Rolling Stones, and Led Zeppelin, mostly, but a lot of other bands from that era as well. Also some modern stuff like Coldplay and (just recently discovered) Jet.

[Manos The Hands of Fate]

Uuuuuhhhhh... SKA
yep that's my kinda music and some melodic/skate punk (none of that Pop-punk crap, no offence if you like it i don't though.) I can't forget Flogging Molly and all that Irish punk type stuff.

[BlackMageLordofHell]

Two general kinds: gentle sweet type music, and loud violent music. Also, gloomy moody depressed music.

BANDS/ARTISTS:
Metallica
Rob Zombie
Disturbed
Godsmack
Linkin Park
Limp Bizkit
Savage Garden
Evanescence
Avril Lavigne

And almost any song I have an AMV of.

[Manos The Hands of Fate]

So BlackMageLordofHell do you listen to such bands as Norma Jean, Zao, Daughters, Darkest Hour, Static X? They're REALLY loud and violent you should take a listen if you like loud violent, that is if you havn't heard them allready.

[slightly aboveaverage man]

Pearl Jam
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Queen
Texas Faggot
Scooter
Hellmarch by westwood studios

[Nique]

Literally almost anything with about three stipulations

1:Not country (with few exceptions... generally, more rock & pop infused country gets my attention)
2:Not "Urban" music (Again, few exceptions. Funk influenced stuff grabs my attention in the right way, as well as less repetative music & loops)
3: Must be Good. I love any genre of music... but only what I consider the best, or most enjoyable. Some artists who are considered gods, i find boring and trite, despite musical ability.

Some highlights of my iTunes playlist:

Abba (yeah, just shut up)
Tom petty
outkast
orcestrated music (esspecially game soundtracks... most of Nobuo Umetsu's FF soundtracks are really excellent and enjoyable IMO)
Bush
Cake
assorted '80s one hit wonders
REM
Nirvana
Third eye blind
Linkin Park
Ace of Bass
Cheap Trick
David Bowie
Eagles
Foreigner
Journey
Green Day (sort of)
Jimmy eat world
No doubt
Ozzy
Assorted underground rock bands (Alien Crime Syndicate, anyone?)
The police
Santana
Early-to-mid '90s soft-alt-rockers (Sister Hazel, etc)
Weezer
Wallflowers
Moby


There's more, but meh. Why waste space?

[!]

Moby
Beck
Primus
Radiohead
Pink Floyd
Weebl & Chums

I have more music, but those are the primary ones.

[Educated John]

I used to have my own list of favorites. It included such names as Mettalica, Rob Zombie, Rammstein, and Megadeth. Then my sister started playing some of her crap. Before I knew it, I had such bands as Incubus, Matchbox 20, Cake, and Fuel in my favorites. Then I got into the AMV scene. Weird bands I never knew existed began began showing up in my playlists, like Savatage, the Cardigans, stuff by Billy Joel, and Bad Religion.

I can only say the mix of musical experiences has made a world of difference when it comes to appreciating new music. Plus, it makes for a fun and varied playlist.

[Osterbaum]

Well there doesen't seem to anybody with my taste of music...exept a few guys who mentioned Metallica...

[AerodynamicHair]

Holy crap! What have I done! I've forgot Jim's Big Ego! One of the finest folk/rock/pop bands to come out of boston since... well, I'd tell you but I don't know any other folk/rock/pop bands from boston... or anywhere, for that matter.

And now, to the plug: Anyway, if your looking for smart alterna/rock, check them out. On their website, you can listen to all their tracks on their internet radio, so there isn't any reason not to visit it (www.bigego.com) . Brilliant and funny songs, like Y2K hooray, and Cheat to Lose. As a personal favorite, listen to Stay in Love, 2 a.m. mix for me. Just press the next button on the internet radio window until it pops up.

Also, Jim Infantino (the singer guy) is a big tech junkie, and makes his own flash music videos and website, which are both perfect, by the way.

I was reminded about Jim's Big Ego after I saw the posts that mention AMVs, and I remember there was a cowboy bebop AMV that had JBE's song "Stress" in it. Just had to rant about them, then.

Now, back to the actual discussion.

[Stover]

[Nique]

Which band does the song with these lyrics... I can't for the life of me figure out who they are, or even the song title...;

"When I'm walking, I strut my stuff/ ... (?)
My girlfriend, she's at the end/she is starting to cry
Chorus; Let me go on, like a (Twister ?) in the sun/ let me go on/ big hands I know your the one/"

Those might be way off, but the first part is right... any help here?

[Osterbaum]

Have no idea...do you know from which country is the band from?

[Nique]

I'm pretty sure they're a state side band.


EDIT: Blister in the sun, by the violent femmes. YaY! i found it.

Jack Off Jill
Ani Difranco

It's all good. I'll listen to anything.

[Martyr]

I love music. Unfortunately, The Smashing Pumpkins somehow warped my brain and I think they're good. Geez I'm screwed up. I actually bought all their cds. But, now that I have been affected, I'll defend to the death that their music is best of all!

Smashing Pumpkins
Moody Blues
Yes
Pearl Jam
Collective Soul
Oleander
Fleetwood Mac
Neil Young
Jefferson Airplane
The Doors
B-52s
REM
The Offspring
Sting And The Police
Pink Floyd
Stabbing Westward
Bush
Fatboy Slim
The Who
Queen
Lynyrd Skynyrd
NIN
POT USA
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Metallica
GnR
AC/DC
Led Zapplin

And I'll give a special thumbs up to Wierd Al Yankovich!

And all the awesome bands that I neglected to mention under my favorites, I guess. Because all music is my favorite, really. I could go on. I've added 4 bands while saying this.

Let's call these my favorites for now.

Smashing Pumpkins
Moody Blues
Yes
Pearl Jam
Collective Soul
Oleander
B-52s

I don't think that gives a fantastic view of my favorite music exactly... Mostly classic and modern (Not too hard) rock.

And I'll mention Brittney Spears because I like her music. Yep, you heard me right! I'm tossing my rep right out the window! But, yeah, sometimes I like faster poppy music with a female lead instead of some screaming, anxty 23 year old. Sue me.

And go 80s pop! I love all that crap! 1 hit wonders forever!

[Peptuck]

My musical tastes are weird. i'll listen to most anything, but every now and then something pops up that makes me scream and run away, I think its so awful. Biggest among these is The White Stripes. *shudder*

That said, I have an extreme, fanatical devotion to Linkin Park. I mean, extreme. Frightening extreme. Its kinda scary, even to me. I've creeped out other people with how seriously I worship the band. Its almost like a relgion to me....

[Grandmaster_Skweeb]

Far too many to list and far too many to remember.
Basically anything in the genres of Techno, Industrial, Synthpop, EBM (Electronic Beat Music)

Run Level Zero is my favorite one of the moment.

[TheSpiritOfVengance]

Normally a combination like this would blow up a cd player.

Led Zepplin
Jmi Hendrix
Mighty Mighty Boss Tones (Only one album though)
This one Techno CD Random artist.
Metallica
Some Ska and Reggae (preferably Bob Marley and the wailers)
Rage Against The Machine
The Yard Birds
Eric Clapton (classic clapton)
one outkast single for bombs ovcer bahgdad.
Rush.

[Dona Maria]

Trance. More specifically, DJ Mystik. Love it.
Other than that....
Sublime (hello! freakin LB represent!)
Hendrix
Charlotte Church
a wide number of show tunes (hey, I like me some Broadway ok?)
...and a whole bunch of other random stuff, although its all probably considered classic rock.

[In Hindsight]

Instead of listing anything off, since I'm far too lazy for that, anyone who feels inclined is free to peruse my current playlist.

http://www.geocities.com/netruemetal/master_playlist_3_04.htm

I've got most, if not all of this on soulseek. You can find me as Infernal_Storm in those parts. If you're interested in metal in almost every shape and form, or VGM, drop me a line.

[Osterbaum]

Well there seem to be no Slayer and Sepultura fans...But there are Metallica and AC/DC fans. WOHOO!

One add to my list: Pink Floyd!

[Chrono_Traveller]

Well since I'm too lazy to list all my musical interests I'll name a few:

Led Zepplin
Pink Floyd
Billy Joel
Paul Simon
Three Doors Down
Several Musicals (Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables are my favs)
Random classical pieces

Thats probably a pretty good representation.

[Osterbaum]

Everyone seems to be too lazy...
