Favorite Music

[Inhuman Bot]

It can be music of many type- Rock and roll, classical, video game etc. Oh and no laughing at peoples tastes. Except for rap :smalltongue:. Also J-pop and country and...
EDIT: nevvermind.

[Haruki-kun]

I. Like. J-Pop. There, I said it.

I tend to like music no one else likes over here... <.< Anyone ever heard Reggaeton? I freakin' hate it.

Rap? Nah, don't like it overall. There are, however, two rap songs that I really like.

[Tragic_Comedian]

I like that old time rock 'n' roll
That kind of music that soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock 'n' roll!

I also like most country (no bubblegum pop country)and I love Irish folk music( The Dubliners for the win!). Also, Flogging Molly. They're great.

[unstattedCommoner]

German romantic opera.

[Tragic_Comedian]

German romantic opera.

What do you think about Richard Wagner?

[Darius Midnite]

I'm somewhat living in the past whem it comes to music. I love Pink Floyd, Led-Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, The Doors, The Who, Deep Purple, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Iggy Pop and The Stooges.

But I also enjoy a lot of present bands. Including; The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, H.I.M, Korn, Pearl Jam, Depeche Mode, Gorillaz, System of a D.

But perhaps this belongs in the Media Message Board. No clue.

[The Extinguisher]

I like almost anything.

Though I find myself perfering good music.

[Gorbash]

I also like most country (no bubblegum pop country)and I love Irish folk music( The Dubliners for the win!). Also, Flogging Molly. They're great.

Good choice. My two favourite bands. :smallsmile:

[Mauve Shirt]

My ipod contains lots of British invasion and classic rock; lots of foreign music, mostly German; LOTS of They Might Be Giants and other comedy music groups like Da Vinci's Notebook and Flight of the Conchords. Also some classical music and assorted songs and soundtracks.

[Inhuman Bot]

Ah, I did'nt say what my favorite music was! I like mostly Video game music and rock, but also enjoy J-pop ( The world ends with you is that culprit) and classical. But I can like any kind of music except for rap. It just erks me.

[someonenonotyou]

rock rock and more rock thats what its all about

[MisterSaturnine]

People say my tastes are indy, and I like the sound of it (and Questionable Content), so I'll go with that.

My 5 favorite musicians/bands are (in no particular order) Leonard Cohen, Damien Rice, Modest Mouse, Tom Waits and Bright Eyes.

[DomaDoma]

I like epic, panoramic music - along the lines of O Fortuna or the soundtrack to Braveheart. I also like showtunes, provided they are sung either operatically or in that clear, carrying, inimitable Broadway fashion - my personal reason for hating High School Musical. And I like traditionally-flavored folk music. Bonus points if it's angry, Irish, and written prior to 1920.

I normally despise rap, but it might be mainly a lyrics issue, because this gorgeous track in my second-favorite anime uses it to excellent effect. (Strangely enough, it shares some lyrics with the most beautiful track in my favorite anime. And a debut episode number, come to think of it. Anyway, rap does preclude it from the sheer magnificence of the other piece, but all in all, it's much more enjoyable to listen to.)

Screamo, however, I utterly despise. The "mere exposure" effect does nothing but wear off the shock to the eardrums, and it doesn't even kick in by the seventh iteration. There are precisely four good things about screamo, and they sort of run the gamut of allegiance, and they're kind of a visual, and you really have to be there.

A disturbing percentage of the post I have just written is about anime. Ah well.

[JettWilderbeast]

Hmm well I say I like everything..... but I have preferences...

Well my main love has got to be ska/ska-punk/reggae/dub/rock steady/anything with an offbeat...
Another huge love is Drum and Bass, but not the rubbish stuff, mostly jazz drum and bass with a bit of downright dirty stuff!
Umm other than that I like but not limited to;
Punk, Rock, Hip Hop, French Electro House, Acoustic stuff, Jazz....

I'm pretty varied with what I like but I think that comes from playing bass for 8 or so years....

[Purple Cloak]

Well the music I tend to listen to most is rock, exept not the realy heavey stuff that is realy just noise and screaming, I like lyrics :smallsmile:

Other than that its mostly soundtracks i like from games i listen too.

Edit: one I would recomend is 'Burn my dread'

[Bag_of_Holding]

I like Beatles! Also, I really liked the music from Patapon (PSP) when they're in Fever Mode and are in the first boss stage. It's so cute! :smallredface:

Edit: I can never get the soundtrack from Pan's Labyrinth out of my head.

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

Rock. Alt-rock. Punk-rock. Punk. Goth.
Pretty much anything, except Rap, and most Techno/Electronica.

[Cobra_Ikari]

Mmm. I listen to things like Naglfar, Arsis, Radigost, Dark Tranquility, Arch Enemy, and the like.

...much to the chagrin of 90% of the people who tell me they like "everything" or "everything but rap and country", since most of them apparently didn't realize such music exists.

[I'm da Rogue!]

Rainbow <3
Led Zeppelin <3
Black Sabbath <3
Pink FLoyd
Dio <3
Camel
Eloy
King Crimson
Deep Purple
Metallica
Tool

Radiohead
System of A Down
Isis

Alice In Chains
Anathema
Motorhead

[Cristo Meyers]

Lesse *opens up playlist*:

Rock mostly, and mostly from around the late 90's to early 2000's (Default, 3 Doors Down, Tantric), it seems. Though there's a bit of rap mixed in (a very very small bit), some older rock (Metallica, The Eagles), there's a handful of country songs I don't abhor, and a couple songs from musicals (Rent and Phantom of the Opera, mostly).

[DraPrime]

I like a lot of classic heavy metal, but also some of the more modern power metal (such as Blind guardian :smallbiggrin:). I also like some older rock such as Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Pink Floyd, Uriah Heep and some other stuff. Outside of rock I don't like much. It's not that it's bad. It's just that since an early age all of the music I listen to has the electric guitar, and without it music seems kind of....lacking.

[Copacetic]

Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili peppers, Alien Ant Farm, Eve 6, Foo Fighters, Incubus. The list goes on and on.

[OwlbearUltimate]

I like variety in my music. To drive home the point, my favorite bands are (in no order) Metallica, Beastie Boys, Dragonforce, Gorillaz, and Tenacious D. I also enjoy the Sweeney Todd and Lord of the Rings soundtracks. All are quite different from each other :smallsmile:

There are a heap more musicians that i like (Jeff Buckley, jethro tull, Bob Brosman, Massive Attack, Daft Punk, just to name a few), but that's just what i'm in the mood for at the moment.

[Lucia]

Prog rock mainly: Dream Theater, A Perfect Circle, Pain of Salvation, Opeth, Pure Reason Revolution, Riverside, etc.
And all the older progressive "psycodelia" like Pink Floyd, Yes, Tool, Genesis, Camel, Jethro Tull, and rock such as Rush, Queensryche, The Doors, Beatles,Queen etc.

Some national bands that are also old and gonne :smallfrown:: Sui Generis, Seru Giran

Last year I discovered Porcupine Tree! It blew my head! It´s number 2 of my list right after Dream Theater. Such an amazing band!!!

@Haruki-kun: yes, I know reggaeton and truly hate it, and here it´s everywhere and I don´t know how, people seem to enojy it :smallannoyed:

[Skippy]

I like almost everything. I really enjoy classical music, rock, indy music, techno, j-pop, video games music (and remixes of it)...

I only despise "Banda" and "reggaeton" music.

[Haruki-kun]

I only despise "Banda" and "reggaeton" music.

We think alike, it seems. :smallbiggrin:

[Hoggy]

Last year I discovered Porcupine Tree! It blew my head! It´s number 2 of my list right after Dream Theater. Such an amazing band!!!

Congratulations. Only number 2, but, well, it's a start. You'll come round. :smalltongue:

I can find bands to like from pretty much any genre, so I'll be unrepresentative and list my 7 fav bands:

Metallica, Emperor, Opeth, Agalloch, Porcupine Tree, Insomnium, Enslaved, Wintersun. Also, chalk Ihsahn's/Serj Tankian's solo work up there.

[Tempest Fennac]

'80s New Wave and Power Ballards are my 2 favourite genres. I tend to like a lot of varied bands, though (some people find it odd that I like both Placebo and Tears for Fears).

[randman22222]

I like all types of rock, unless the lyrics are stupid. I define what's stupid, and it's not very consistent, so we'll just say I like rock.

I also like jazz, being a tenor saxophonist myself, and legit, from older pieces to movie soundtracks.

There is one electronica/techno/whatever-the-hell-it's-describable-as song that I like, and that is Spitfire (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svann6OzFuw). That song is epic. Like take on twenty Hydra at once alone epic. With your fists.

[Iudex Fatarum]

I guess I'm the odd one out. I like a number of types of obscure music.
in alphabetical order,
Bluegrass (Blind Boys of Alabama are great),
Classical (especially baroque and romantic Grieg is one of my faves),
Celtic (I don't own any though :smallfrown: )
Folk (Kingston Trio),
Instrumental (I love most stuff by Phil Keaggy),
Indy (I have some of the Shins, and the White Stripes among other),
Jazz (everything from Miles Davis, to Herbie Hancock),
Modernized Classical (like Bond, or Vanessa Mae),
Ska (old stuff, like The O.C. Supertones),
Zydeco
I also like Carmina Burana, and some musicals like "Phantom of the Opera" but am not sure exactly where to put that in my list

[Castaras]

Rock, and some metal.

I don't go for genres. I go for bands.

Genesis, Rush, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, Blind Guardian, and others rank as my favourite artists.

[Dallas-Dakota]

Fantasy, celtic. Some other stuff as well.

[ghost_warlock]

I'm mostly into 'alternative' rock and industrial. Tool, A Perfect Circle, NIN, 10 Years, Lacuna Coil, Poe, that kind of stuff.

[jkdjr25]

I grew up on country music so it's always on my playlist. Especially Big & Rich, Garth Brooks, George Strait and the like.

Of course there is always Queen, the best rock band to ever live.

:) I tend to like lots of different styles of music really.

Except rap. ;)

[Pepz]

Mostly rock, like the rest of you here :smallwink: I do like bluegrass music and electric as well tho.

And I have quite a couple of broadway/disney songs on my iPod :smallamused:

O yeah, and for those of you who like Flogging Molly, I saw them exactly a week ago in Amsterdam, and they were as great as ever :smallcool: nothing like a pit that covers the entire room/hall thingy to have a great night. I actually lost a shoe for most of the night, but they had a PILE of shoes afterwards and it was in there :smallbiggrin:

[Tiffanie Lirle]

Trance, acid house, hardstyle, techno.

Pretty much anything in the electric music genre.
The avy says it all really, especially if know where the logo on the shirt is from. :smalltongue:

[Player_Zero]

I prefer music which reminds me of things (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEFNNnV9lJY&feature=related)...

Better times (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADrqmgj0u0w)...

And all the games (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qnyxd7Vq0Q&feature=related) I played and animes I've watched and whatnot (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbRF3pky2bc).

But then, I'm just a puppet.

P.S. One Piece, FFVII, FFVI and Soul Music spoilers.

EDIT: Oh, and I forgot to add Wintersun to my list.

Jumpstyle, it's a dance of sorts based mostly on..well jumping. Picture River dance mixed with Techno. :smalltongue:

Jumpstyle event in Berlin (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoLvKujvEIs&feature=related)

[SurlySeraph]

MEEEEEEEETAAAAAAAL! \m/

Other bands that I like enough to mention: Arch Enemy, As I Lay Dying, Drowning Pool, Godsmack, Iron Maiden, Led Zeppelin, Linkin Park, Machine Head, Pantera, Seether, Shadows Fall, Trivium

Besides the metal, I like some classical music. The Carmina Burana, Mozart's Requiem, Verdi's Requiem, and Handel's Messiah are all great.

[NinjaHippy]

I've really been getting into folk-punk stuff of late, Against Me! and The Gaslight Anthem being prime examples. I also like indie, punk, alt rock, and select metal bands. Nightwish, Modest Mouse, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, NoFX, and the like.
