What music do you listen to?

This is me trying to liven up this place.
I did a search for " music " and didn't find a single thread.

 

Oh, Last.fm. It was a long time ago I used that site.

Anyway, I like bitpop and if anyone would like to listen to some bitpop, this is a good site. Just go to productions and listen to a couple of samples. Personally, I like Random, Bit Shifter and Trash80 the most.

 

I listen to Heavy/Death Metal (Slayer, Cannibal Corpse, Deicide, etc.), 50's and 60's (The Byrds, Buddy Holly, Jefferson Airplane, etc.) , and a bit of Country (Johnny Cash, John Denver, etc.) Well, perhaps a bit of Bluegrass as well.

 

I listen to most kinds of music. It mostly depends on what I'm doing. Classical when I'm working, and everything else when I'm not.

 

I've been listening to a lot of Apocalyptica lately, not usually my thing though I'm finding the later originals just brilliant. Their metallica covers are pretty sick as well.

Apart from that, it's mostly alternative rock type crap - Breaking Benjamin, Seether, Shinedown, some three days grace etc. Also don't mind some of Papa Roach's latest, but then I end up trying their older nu-metal/rap shit which just pisses me off.

 

Probably the greatest song ever

 

I listen to a little of everything, I guess, but I'm mostly inclined towards rock, metal and - my favourite genre - J-pop. Say what you will, but things like this or this make me all happy and tingly inside whenever I need it.

 

I disagree but that doesn't really mean shit, everyone's got their taste.

 

Sarcasm doesn't translate well in writing.

 

Oh, Lucky Star. I have seen the 7 first episodes, but it is always a reliable source of laughter.

 

Back under your bridge, troll!

The alternative music of the 1990s is my absolute favorite, but I like much of the popular music that is played on the radio today. Stone Temple Pilots is my favorite band. I've borrowed a copy of Poe's Haunted from my local library and have been in love with it for weeks. I am not one of these tools who claims to listen to and love everything, but I like some dance music, techno, hip hop, rap, classical, and some very select country music. I hate reggae. I hate reggae.

Of the more contemporary artists, I can say that Lady Gaga and Kanye West are both geniuses. Nickelback is solid, but I've been sick of them for a while.

Any Theory of a Deadman? I tend to classify those bands as more hard rock than alternative.
Some required alternative listening (correct me if I'm missing anything):
Hum's Stars
Big Wreck's The Oaf
Spacehog's In the Meantime
Everclear's Santa Monica
PUSA's Lump

 

Lately I have been enthralled by the band Metric. usually I listen to a mix of music, whatever the mood strikes. My all time favourite band though is 311.

 

I like Theory of a Deadman, I just wish they didn't sound so similar to Nickelback. Dinosaur Jr. and 3 Doors Down are one of my favorite alternative artists.

Anything that's progressive, and typically high-gain and concept-based. Mostly Coheed & Cambria and Mastodon. I play what I love to call Progressive Melodic Hard Concept Rock.

Seriously though, any band that teaches a cave man to rock has got to be good, right?

 

radiohead, eels, aphex twin, pavement

 

I am trying to convert the Thais and a Aussie to start listening to Kent and Sigur Ros. The Aussie is actually liking it, which is surprising. The first Aussie I ever met did actually know Swedish before he came here, just because he liked Kent. Strange person.

 

Sigur Ros is great, one of my favorite post-rock bands.

 

Sigur Ros are a bunch of fucking wackos. I saw them at Rock Werchter in, what?, 2008 or something. Them bitches were all covered in feathers and shit. Like something that had sprouted from the brainstem of Maurice Sendak. I hate those fucking whining cunts. I clearly remember being in the company of a nice little blond Fraulein that day and she refused to suck my cock later that day (in the tent on the camping) because "Sigur Ros has sparked a cinder of melancholy within my heart".
