[Nakamova]

I've always liked the song "Bizarre Love Triangle". I know it's New Order, but I like to think that it refers to Ian Curtis' epilepsy ("Every time I see you falling...").

My musical tastes are all over the map -- Portishead, Air, The Bird and The Bee, Aimee Mann, Beastie Boys, Bettie Serveert, Interstate, Lucinda Williams. Just for starters...

[CathyAnn31]

All genres of rock. I listen mostly to indie/alternative rock these days- Incubus, Foo Fighters, 311, etc... but love classic rock, 80s, shhh- even a little pop, the grundge stuff from the 90s, heavy metal, etc...I'm easy...

I can say - NO COUNTRY!!! NO RAP!!! NO OPERA!!!

Can ya tell I don't like country, rap or opera music? :roflmao: I'm sure there's more I don't like but I can't remember any more types other then those at the moment, lol.

 

[Loopy Lou]

I also have a pretty eclectic music taste. I like flogging Molly, within temptation, dropkick murphys, system of a down, johnny cash, tlc, Eminem, Irish folk music, mindless self indulgence. There's tons of stuff I like!

 

[Tralee A]

I like a mix of music. It depends on my mood as to what I listen to. I like old school 50's n 60's stuff, a lil classical for relaxing and a bit of modern for the rest of the time. I've been looking at alot of songs with nice meanings lately ("don't worry. Be happy" Bobby McFerrin and others like that)

[stuartbungle]

I was always, when younger into heavy metal 'mosher' music (the pits were fun if not slightly dangerous) one minute silence, metallica, slipknot marilyn manson, korn etc, but over the years going to music festivals got into more chilled out music (still can't understand the dance music, but do try), but got into emilie autumn, peoples string foundation, sigur ros, bundarbandid (the wedding band, (icelandic madness)) and sort of just starting to look for more creative ways people make music.

 

[coloredCYANIDE]

Top 7 that have changed the way I think about music/play music/feel about music, in order:

Opeth, Dream Theater, Meshuggah, Death, Necrophagist, Tool, Incubus.

Lately I've been getting down on Allan Holdsworth, I love his chording. So gorgeous and expressive, and I'm hoping to push my playing into the realm of jazz and fusion. Spawn of Possession's new album is very intense, it'll take me a few weeks to get through each layer but DAMN what a lineup! I can appreciate it as a guitarist, bassist, and drummer but there's soooo much to hear. Classical and jazz training do a lot for musicians, apparently.

 

[RachelinAZ]

I love Los Lonely Boys (a little bit of everything, kind of band), I love Josh Groban (not really a fan of opera or whatever it is his genre is, but I love his voice). I love old big band music. I love piano music (George Winston), I love the pan flute (stuff like that). I love jazz music. Not so much someone singing to jazz, but just the music. I love classical music.

I love 80's music (all kinds) and I love (don't hate me!) Country! I love the older stuff, and some of the newer stuff. My favorite, is 80's Country music

I am kind of a jack of all trades. I don't care for music, I can't understand the words, or I will go deaf listening to. I don't care for most rap.

 

[Krista2882]

I don't listen to as much music now as I used to (I was REALLY into music in high school and college), I still love most of that stuff I listened to then (80s, 90s, alternative, ska, a bunch of random stuff) but I don't listen to it as often.
Right now I REALLY like Florence and the Machine. I just discovered her/them a few months ago from a friend. I listen to them all the time.
Here's some of what's on my Top Rated playlist on my iPod:
"Be Here Now" by Ray Lamontagne
"Night Birds" by Ryan Adams (NOT Bryan Adams. lol)
"A Thousand Years" by Sting
"New Years Day" by U2
"No Cars Go" by Arcade Fire
"Pyramid Song" by Radiohead
a bunch of songs from the "Firefly" TV show soundtrack.

LOL my brother used to listen to so many of these! I likes 90's Metallica. I liked one or two Type O Negative songs (I don't think I'd like it now, though). My brother loved Static X and Rob Zombie! Korn was huge when I was in high school, but I never liked them. I really liked a couple of songs by Shinedown. I love "Angel's Son" by Sevendust.

Some 90's music, grunge like Soundgarden [loud love!], Pearl Jam, nirvana, bush, Live, monster magnet, stabbing westward, the prodigy, alice in chains, stone temple pilots, queens of the stone age, Tool!! Chevelle's [Vitamin R!! song about ritalin], temple of the dog, Our lady Peace [Starseed, Navid], Sneaker Pimps, Blind Melon, A perfect circle..

Ooohhh I FORGOT ABOUT STABBING WESTWARD!!! LOL I looooved some of their songs, but for the life of me I can't remember any of them right now. Oh wait, was one of them "Save Yourself"? Sneaker Pimps were awesome, but with their original singer- the one who sang "Six Underground". I went through a stage in college where I was always listening to a few of Stone Temple Pilots' older albums.

And some 80's music too - electronica, pet shop boys, heart, depeche mode, 80's pop, Seal (crazy) , tears for fears, flock of seagulls, david bowie, new order, spandeau ballet, peter gabriel, maxi priest, ub40, fine young cannibals

I love Depeche Mode! But I prefer their stuff from the 90s and early 2000s. Tears for Fears has a few awesome songs.

Stone Temple Pilots, Smashing Pumpkins, Moist.. and of course Canada's official band.. Rush!

 

[lureswinger]

Sorry but after I've come all the way home from doing a demo listening to the kinda crap my wife and kids like then I don't think you can beat the sound of SILENCE I'd buy that music anyday over the rubbish in the charts

 

[Lovespurple]

@ travel bug - I abso-freaking-lutely (my made up word) LOVE Benny Goodman's Sing Sing Sing! Since you were talking about foreign language bands, I'll say that Sigur Ros (they're Icelandic and sing in a mix of Icelandic and gibberish) is one of the best bands that I have ever heard.

I like a lot of different artists. I like Frank Sinatra, David Lanz (pianist), Julie Andrews in a few musicals, Adele, and Beck.

I absolutely LOVE Johnny Cash, Iron and Wine, Sigur Ros, Alexandre Desplat (film composer), and John Powell (film composer).
