Well, first, I'll say this...Every second weekend I go to my mums, so I have no computer fast enough to run NWN. That means I'll be wandering the forums whenever I'm not doing something else, so watch out for me!!!
To the question, what kinda music you all like? And please, no hating on people's taste in music, everyone is different. I personally like alot of underground hip hop, apocalyptic rap and a bit of rock thrown into it all, like Red Hot Chilli Peppers and the such....
-
RHCP are good, Im into Country Rock these days mostly.... flame away everyone haha.... Rascal Flats and a few Aussie artists like Keith Urban and a few others not internationally accliamed I like the best.
-
Woohoo, Aussies unite! Funny thing is, I don't really like any Aussie music :P
-
you know....stuff :P
-
It seems with me that there isn't a music genre that doesn't have a song i don't like. :-P
The genre's that I like the most these days are gothic rock, A bit of metal and normal rock.
Artist's or groups I like are: Within Temptation, After forever, Nightwish, Linkin park, Limb Bizkit, Rammstein and some more.
Older groups or artist's I like but haven't lissened to much, are: Queen, 2 unlimited, Micheal Jackson, Five, Nsync and perhaps a few more. I do still like them.
other genres also have great songs, But I can't think of them right now. :-S
Oh I just remembered one, DJ Tiesto. And you know what? Like me he is from The Netherlands. makes me feel proud. Sorry about that just had to type it down.
-
I have a broad range of music tastes:
Early KISS to later KISS. You can throw in all the late 80's-early 90's hair metal, too. Oh, and mid-to-late 70's top 40.
Yeah, I'm that old.
-
New swing. Old swing. Classical. Disco. 40's, 50's. 70's thought rock; i.e. Steely Dan, Warron Zevon. 80's. Dance and techno and trance.
Pretty much everything except 60's, rap, opera, and country (which makes me violent for some reason....I'LL KILL YOUR DOG, YOUR PICKUP AND YOUR DANG CHEATIN' WIFE ARRRGHHHHHHH....)

I'm with ya, jjkolb, it's all about the good old hair band classic rock, 90's retro, plus some Jimi, and I'd have to say there are a number of good rock bands out right now, like HIM and Hinder, and I'm still really into Chevelle.
-
I listen to everything and anything, during dinner I like elevator music, while I am doing the dishes country, while driving in my car old art Rock like Peter Gabriel, Genesis, Pink Floyd. My favorite concert ever.. the Rolling Stones and I have seen dozens maybe a hundred concerts. My first concert was Pink Floyd the animals tour, yes I am that OLD. I listen to all the kids music while at my work. Most obscure favorite artists, Billy Bragg and the Drive by Truckers.
-
Wagner, Verdi, Mozart, Handel, Holst and Ludwig Van - An uppa' to sha'pen me up for some ultraviolence
1980's rock - Van Halen and Def Leppard especially but the pleathora of other are also welcome
MOD tracks - Old school synth tracks from the BBS days, I still love that stuff
Stuff I download from ambient artists from the internet - there's a lot of good ambient music around teh interwab
Kraftwerk.
-
I'm pretty stuck on one genre at the moment. Pillar, Falling Up, Thousand Foot Krutch, Kutless, Relient K, and DC Talk are what I enjoy at the moment. I do however own some Third Day, Casting Crowns, Steven Curtis Chapman, Building 429, and Avalon. And a bit of good punk/skater music is always good with Stellar Kart and Hawk Nelson. (First one to guess the genre get's a cookie.)
-
All variatons of trance, be it progressive, hard, chillout or vocal. I can't get enough of it and I listen to it most of the day. Also depending on the mood an occasional piece of classical music is thrown in.
-
I'm more of a hard rock listener, but I mix it up with hip-hop, rap and the occasional trance song. That's what I listen on my own, when I'm out somewhere, I really don't care what's playing as long as it's got rhythm and beat.
-
Mostly indifferent, but I prefer alternative rock, some metal, industrial, punk, and many in-between areas.
-
Zero, the genre is contemporary christian, or alternative christian, depending on the band listed. I grew up on DC Talk.
-
What? You don't like Cold Chisel!?!?!?!!?
Most types of music I like, but I think they should but the "c" back into rap..... :P
I find that current R&B appears to be what rap used to be. Maybe I am showing my age.
But personally, I like anything from Jethro Tull (anyone know what he is famous for)to RHCP, to the Gunners to Billy Joel to Garbage to Moby to the Beatles.
I don't like Evlis because he is too popular (must admit he did write some fine songs though).
-
Liking mostkind of music genres myself ...from clasic to speedmetal realy.
Do like some bands or singers better then others , but thats normal .
Have the newest cd from Queensryche in my player for the large part now,
switching that with Suicidal Tendencies and ...believe it or not Elvis...
Btw Scotcar...Elvis didnt write that much ...he had writers ..mainly : Leiber& Stoller......
Best thing about Elvis i think is the fact that he wasnt affraid to do versions of songs
that made others ..( like the Beatles) big...never heard that the Beatles did a song of
Elvis anyway...even heard that they didnt want to cover Elvis songs because they knew
they couldnt do it any better :) ( this came from an Elvis fan dont know if its true)
-
In no particular order and by no means complete... here is a list of artists that I like in the various genre clumps given: Electronica: Paul Oakenfold Blank and Jones Loic Tambay Enigma Tiesto Carl Cox Fluke Orbital Orb http://di.fm Industrial/Alternative/etc: Nine Inch Nails Skinny Puppy Ministry Alice in Chains STP Red Hot Chili Peppers Jane's Addiction Metric Jakalope Pilate Classic/Retro/Big-Hair/Blah Rock: Pink Floyd Led Zepplin CCR Jimi Hendrix Stevie Ray Vaughn Johnny Cash U2 Iron Maiden The Tea Party Black Sabbath Eric Clapton Classical Just about anything but it's not a genre I listen to very often though from time to time I find myself in that "symphonic" mood which is something that modern music is almost totally lacking. And NO, giving Metallica an orchestra does not ease my craving for intelligent music. Begin Rant: Please note Metallica isn't on this list at all as they are one of the few artists I'm personally boycotting. I download Metallica MP3's just so that I can take pleasure in DELETING their work. As far as I'm concerned, just after their last And Justice For All concert, the entire band was abducted by aliens and replaced with cheap maniquins that have bobbing heads and a backup orchestra. :End Rant
-
ha, just realsied this got moved, not the funniest thing i ever saw...oh well....:)
-
personal favorite type of music for me is Ska, infact, going into SF May 17th for a show, Aquabats, Streetlight Manifesto, and 2 other bands that i havn't heard as of yet
-
Front Line Assembly: Implode is my favorite album of all time. It was right around where they evolved from their old harsh, simple style into wicked breakbeats with heavily distorted NIN-like drum kits. Coming in a close second is WASP's KFD, a sharp point in history where a former hair-metal band from the 80s suddenly snapped and made the most violent, angry and demented dark metal/industrial album in all history. Every time I listen to it, my pulse goes through the roof and I fly into a barbarian rage. I think that makes Blackie Lawless at least an 8th level skald... ;)
-
Just a quick suggestion. Just heard of this new band called "Family Force 5". They've got a couple music videos "Kountry Gentlemen" and "Love Addict" they're pretty freaking awsome if I do say so myself. If you've got a Yahoo account or some way to check out music video's (or myspace) I suggest you do. Lemme know what ya'll think.
-
Music eh? (stares at a large dusty section of his wall that is 4' by 6' and packed with CDs).
No one seems to have touched on this one but I really enjoy a lot of classic celtic, tselagi chants, rock, alternative (isn't that the old buzzword for everything that is a mix of something else??).
Group wise:
My top two are:
Dick Dale (and the dale bots)
Gorillaz
And a few more that I like regularly
Smashing pumpkins
Limp bizcuit
korn
Sheryl Crow
Iron Vein (could be wrong here, they have a song called mephisto)
Porno for pyros
ugly kid joe
The sound track from Rocket Jockey (one of my all time favorites)
Nyorsk shouting couruses are also pretty fascinating (it feeds my inner virking :) )
Recent stuff I'm a bit clueless on as I've shyed away from anything on the media, out of pure disgust. And mythtv doesn't fill what I want to watch with a lot of useless trash :)
-
Well...I spend all day with kids and teens because of my job(which I love).. So I've come to like a lot of today's music and some old rock too...
:D

-
80's pop. Cyndi Lauper, Madonna, Michael Jackson (Before he got *REALLY* weird) Swing music, some country. Mostly music that I can understand the lyrics. I get enough of people shouting at me when I am at work.
-
I am a music/lyrics nut...raised by my (almost :)) hippie dad on nothing but Sabbath, Rush, Seager, Skynard, Nazareth, and Thin Lizzy (What I'm listening to now as I browse the forums). If I'm hyper I listen to Killswitch Engage (if I ever started a band, it'd be them), Black Label Society, Iced Earth, more Black Sabbath, a lot of 80's-90's hair band music.
My newest fascination is this *hates labels, but is going to use one anyway* pop-emo-rock. Fallout Boy being a good one when you're down (Some of the song titles make me laugh so hard though). Coheed and Cambria is my newest fascination...a good mix of guitar rock, storytelling (a'la Rush), and lyrics that...well, if you ever break up with somebody, Apollo I: The Writing Writer, or it's analogue, The Willing Well III: Apollo I, The Telling Truth, constitute the best break up song ever written (and a pivot point in the story of Coheed and Cambria).
A P.S. to OneST8's Rant: Metallica should be on this list, but are dropped due to loss of respect, and the fear of lawsuit in case James or Lars should ever hear me playing one of thier songs on one of my guitars (which they probably created also, B.C. Rich should be paying them royalties at this very moment) /Rant

I noticed one glareing omission REGGAE!
heh, reggae is awesome, sean paul rips anything up, even though i don't understand what hes saying
-
Basically everything except (c)rap and country... and then just the twangy country.. there is a place for Garth Brooks and Shania.
Special places in my heart:
Great Big Sea
Spirit of the West
Beatles
Tchaikovsky
Shostakovich
Bach (A nice complicated 5-handed fugue, particularly)
-
Yep, reggae rocks, I like some rap... but most of it sucks, I love crazy old music too, like video killed the radio star, and whip it! (devo), and rock, yep and of course the pop-emo-rock, emo people, there are so many layers to them..... *stares off aimlessly into the distance*
and dragonforce!!!!
(they're so cheesy, all their songs are about dragons and quests and journeying, the sad thing is, they're serious, that's why they rock ;))
-
Anything EXCEPT country for me ;)
