Let's hear your music

[subterranean]

Let's have a music discussion, shall we?!

What sort of music you listen to?

I listen to many bands especially from the 60's and 70's. Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd are my all time favs. And I also listen to several other bands from those times. I don't really listen to bands from the 90'sand the 00's, just check them out once in a while (for the sake of my music knowledges) . Radiohead is a special exception, of course!

Personally, I think the music from the old times (60's, 70's particularry) still rule!!!

Shine on

:cool:

[azmuse]

fleetwood mac, JIMI HENDRIX, 50 cent, maxwell, vivaldi, rochmaninoff, r. kelly, van morrison,snoop d oh double g, jill scott, rolling stones, sappy stuff, disco

[azmuse]

yeah...i love the 70's stuff too. that's real music.

[Dyrwen]

I listen to Political Punk (Bad Religion, Dead Kennedys, Anti-Flag) as well as Hardcore Metal (Between the Buried and Me, As I Lay Dying, From Autumn to Ashes).

One allows for a sense of care for the world, the other a sense of care for myself.

[Jay]

rock, rock ballads, the 80s, have I said ballads yet?... Evanescence... anything as far as I like it, what doesn't make my ears go all ouchy...

[ihrocks]

Oh I wish all you people who claim to love '70s rock would discover Mott the Hoople, Ian Hunter, and Mick Ronson. You'll be so glad if you do.

In addition to the above I listen to Billy Bragg, Ian Dury, Kate Rusby, all the basic "classic rock" genre (I'm that age, unfortunately), vintage funk, and lots and lots and lots of jazz: Miles, Monk, Mingus, Coltrane, Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young, and on and on. Oh! and props to whoever said Vivaldi! I've been on a Vivaldi tear lately. Can't get enough mandolins in my life!

And of course, given the time of year, I must mention Vince Garauldi, the marvelous pianist who provided the soundtrack to the "Charlie Brown Christmas," and naturally, the Pogues for "Fairy Tale of New York," my all time favorite Christmas song.

And my latest purchase is Blackmore Night's "Ghost of A Rose." It is Deep Purple's guitar-meister Ritchie Blackmore doing a somewhat contemporary interpretation of Renaissance/Medieval music, with charming vocals by Candace Night.

ihrocks

[IWilKikU]

Everyone is going to shudder as I name off all of my popular favs, oh well, here goes.

Metallica, Ozzy/Sabbath, System of a Down, Marylin Manson, Tool, Radiohead, Eminem, Thirty Seconds to Mars, Audioslave, Nirvana.

Thats probably my top ten in no particular order.

[ihrocks]

So, IWil, just a little bright, breezy, uplifting stuff for you, right? :)

But no Nine Inch Nails? I would think that little ray of sunshine Trent Reznor would be right up your alley! :)

ihrocks

[Azoic]

House music, but sadly I let my brother borrow my record collection 2 months ago, so I can't look up my favorite artists on a whim.

As far as CDs Frankie Bones is pretty good, oh and Schooly D. Plus Mark Farina, Joseph Newman, and Doc Martin.

[AbdoRinbo]

.

[sloegin]

The Girls: Fiona Apple, Jewel, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughn, PJ Harvey, Sarah McLachlan, Ani Difranco, Janis Joplin, Nancy Sinatra; there's more but I'm to lazy to type them.

The Boys: Outkast, N.W.A., Clapton/Cream, Armstrong, Ellington, Davis, Getz, Gilberto, The Doors, Pink Floyd, The Sex Pistols, The Dead Milkmen, Jethro Tull, Queen, Johnny Cash, America, Nat King Cole, 2 Live Crew; and on and on, we go.

Everything else or Hermaphrodite Buffet: Jefferson Airplane, Bizet's Carmen, Rossini's Il Barbiere di Siviglia, Verdi's Il Trovatore; who am I kidding, I just wanted to say hermaphrodite.

[Koa]

Aah-ah... It's hard to sum up what I like using words, I like certain kinds of rock, and certain kinds of electronic music... And they have to have depressive, or at least poetic lyrics. And I'm totally in love with the 80s.

Easier to mention some names of my favourites: Depeche Mode (now I expect either some insults or a choir of 'Who the hell are them???), The Cure, The Smiths, Placebo, REM, Joy Division, ... I could go on but I guess these are the main ones.

[AbdoRinbo]

.

[crisaor]

I listen to a lot of music. Just a few I like: The Beatles (all time favourite), Oasis, U2, Queen, Led Zeppelin, Pink floyd, The Police, Radiohead, Miles Davis, David Bowie, The Doors, The Pixies, Astor Piazzolla, etc.
Obviously, there's more than this. I just listed the ones I have 3 cds or more, for practical purposes.

I saw DM only once...but now I don't mind dying: I've seen them! Of course I'd love to see them again before I die :rolleyes: They're some kind of religion for me.

Never seen The Cure, but I got into them quite recently, I've always been scared of liking them too much.

[azmuse]

i don't care for The Cure but love the tat on his back

[subterranean]

At first I didn't really like The Cure, then I heard this one song "why can't i be you", which was really fits my heart's situation at the time i heard that song (I was a teenage at that time who always felt insecure with my self :))
Then I started to dig the band and some of their songs are cool.

[Azoic]

I still don't much care for The Cure. I really like Depeche Mode, though, sorry to dissapoint Koa, with lack of insult/who the hell is that :D :p :D :p :D

EWWWWWW... My cousins cat's tail is wet, maybe from beer? It's so gross. Sorry about that little tangent.

I left my computer in Colorado when I moved to California (1300 mile/2167(?)Km trip, FYI), and that is where most of my music is = sad Azoic.

[azmuse]

no wonder you don't sound like you're from Marin County; i couldn't figger that out.

...maybe tell your cousin's cat to drink beer from the Other end? ;)

[azmuse]

(after multiple edits)
f me sideways; i can never make my comp behave as it is!!! ...maybe 'cuz it's late

[Azoic]

well, I'll f you any way you want, if you're female.

I can't make the cat do much of anything, and I'm not really sure that it's beer anyway (could be much nastier).

Speaking of marin county, are you from/in the bay area?

[azmuse]

sonoma county for 7 more days - grew up here - then off to philly

[Azoic]

MMMM.... Philly cheese steak.....

So you're only around for some sort of Judeo/Christian holliday, and then off to the East? I'm doing just about the same. I'm going to spend a couple of days back in Colorado just after new years, then I'm going to move back to Ohio for a few months... Then Chicago for 2 months, South Carolina for about a year, and... well I have no idea after that. Crazy, huh?

[azmuse]

Totally cool :) you grew up in Ohio and spent time in Colorado?

ah, yes...I worked once at a cheese steak place; got to yell sassily at max decibels for a living from 6 p.m. to 3 a.m. ...such fun

[Azoic]

Indeed. I'm very glad to be out of Ohio (although I'm going to go back for a few months soon). I went to Colorado for university, although I don't like university, so I'm learning what I want to learn in other ways.

What do you do in Philly? And why is cheesesteak so good? Is it the yelling?

[azmuse]

clinical medical assisting, and it's definitely the yelling. otherwise the taste buds get involved - instead of the ears - and one realizes that there is cheese whiz dripping from their sandwich...

[azmuse]

i did the same thing out in the wide wide world...was so not ready for school at 17

[Azoic]

Yeah, I even spent 4 years in college, finally I realize that I would proabably end up killing myself if I didn't quit partying, and therefore college. Sadly I wasn't ready to just make new friends without just moving to a new place, and trying something completely different. I'm probably still not ready to make lots of new friends, in the same way I had before. Too many people are a burdon (sometimes, especially in college).

[sloegin]

Have either of you experienced the pleasure of homicide?

[azmuse]

no dear but my landlady offered to do me in one time
you? truthfully, now

[Azoic]

I prefer not to speak of my youthful indescretions.

[azmuse]

...she wonders which formless picture in her mind is acquainted with the truth...

[sloegin]

Well then, it may give you a new perception on life.

[Azoic]

you ever watch kids smoke crack and then play bullet tag? That may give you a new perception on life too.

[sloegin]

I've seen a mother, her lover, and kid, smoking crack. Then there was a drive-by...no more family outings. Really.

[fayefaye]

uh. Seriously? that's really screwed up.

music? rock. a bit of Jpop, but only because I'm surrounded by the stuff, and don't find the lyrics too inane if I don't bother to translate them. I play a bit of classical, but don't really listen to it. Oh, and don't anyone dare insult the red hot chilli peppers. last time someone at this forum did that, I threatened to kill him.. :rolleyes:

[Azoic]

Yeah, music is much cooler than crap I moved away from. Too bad I don't like Red Hot Chili Peppers. :eek:

[fayefaye]

NOOOOO!!!!! HOW DARE YOU!!!! DIE!!!!! *EVIL EMOTICON*

[Isagel]

I realize that I have lived a sheltered life.
Back to the subject of music?

I like a lot of different kinds of music.

I like jazz alot, especially Billie Holiday and Louis Armstrong. My grandfather used to play jazz when he was babysitting and it got stuck in my head. I also like bands like Nine Inch nails and Marilyn Manson ( During my teens -early twenties I used to be into the "gothscene" )I think Depeche Mode are great.

For dancing I really like Missy Elliot, Faithless and Tricky.

I think my favorite music artist is David Bowie.

[Koa]

Wow, the people on this forum are music-literate other than literature-educated (you even know Depeche Mode, I find it impressive...yeah Azoic, I'm almost disappointed :D). I'm totally amazed by this crowd. (Noone has mentioned boybands yet... it's incredible!)

[Koa]

[fayefaye]

Shoot me before you make me listen to western pop music.

[Koa]

*waves at faye* Hey! We're here at the same time!

Come on, popmusic can be useful...when I have self-destructive moments I pay attention to MTV and have a great laugh :)

[fayefaye]

MTV sickens me.

[Koa]

I see the funny side of it. I love trash!!!

This is my 500th post!!! (and it's useless....oops...)

[fayefaye]

LOL. congrats. I hate trash. It really belongs in the garbage...

Isagel, you like both jazz and maryllin manson????? :confused:
Is that even possible? It's like having a taste for book reading and book burning.
Bah, I can't really talk. I used to listen to Roxette when I was 14. :o The shames of my past haunt me to these days...

[IWilKikU]

My drama teacher was an '80's goth. Alot different than a '90's goth. Anyways, we used dark '80's electronica for the soundtrack to the production of Macbeth that I directed. I heard alot of cool new bands that we used. My theme was "Kill the King" by Sister's of Mercy.

[Isagel]

Ever really listened to the lyrics of Strange fruit? Marilyn M could have lyrics like that. Lady Day was considered offensive in her time.

I like music that makes me feel something.

I have a broad taste. I´m old - I´ve picked up different things over the years... And I´m not ashamed. Not even for those Roxette albums.(Yep- I had those as well....) They made me happy. Some music you grow out off, like discarded views.Some you keep like nostalgia.And some experiences just grows in the company of each other. The new Marilyn Mrecord sits nicely next to my Gisela May sings Brecht record. Theare both in the grotesque Cabaret tradition.

That's very right, and I know what you mean. I have an Iron Maiden album next to a John Coltrane's.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't think knowing Depeche Mode is a sign that you're a music literate :)

Ok, I'll confes, I once had special interest in Backstreet Boy :o



(Go ahead , shoot me)

[DumbLikeAPoet]

Here is my music.....violent femmes, Johnny Cash, The Promise Ring, early Weezer, Janis Joplin, Armstrong, O.A.R , Rufus Wainright, Belle and Sebastion.

When I was in my teens(2 years ago) Sublime, H20, MxPx, all the other punk type crap.

nah, Sub, I'm not going to shoot you. That's too quick... *Evil smiley*

Ok guys leave sub alone, I have a much more humiliating confession.

...

My first CDs were,
Ace of Base
All-4-one
Hootie and the Blowfish.

I want to cry now

[Koa]

Ace Of Base!!! Wow that's so 90s!!! :)

I won't confess what I'm embarassed of because you wouldnt know it, I used to listen to Italian crap cos I didn't understand any English anyway... no wait, one my first steps into Englishness (Americannness in that case) was taken with a Mariah Carey (!!!) tape... *blushes and WANTS insults now* :D

Well, i didn't wanna do it, but since you asked... you're a dork! :p

I guess it is true that everyone of us has a dead body in the closet.

[Koa]

Thank you crisaor, I feel better now!... no actually I don't, it doesn't take the shame away :D


I guess it is true that everyone of us has a dead body in the closet

And yes it IS true... who has no sin can cast the first stone!!! (I guess this is not how it sounds but whatever, you know what I'm trying to quote)

[fayefaye]

*deep breath* I don't know who they are.

Ok, someone tell the music illiterate.

Oh-here's a quote from the inside cover of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers Greatest Hits album-


When any person stays in a state of giving they are at their best.

(Flea)

irrelevant? Absolutely. But it might help my pro-chilli peppers propaganda... well, a little.

[crisaor]

Ever since Californication, I respect the chili peppers a little more.

[Koa]

I respect the RHCP cos their music is quality stuff... But I can't seem to manage to really like them, except a few songs. Same thing for Radiohead and a few others.
Though I wish californication wasn't that hugely popular, things that get so popular make me suspicious...

[subterranean]

Well, RHCP is a little bit stagnant in music, many songs sounds quite similiar (IMHO) :)

[subterranean]

Oh Kik, Shame on you...C'mon, ACE OF BASE ? ;)


Thanks for the shots guys, still ache till now :D

[IWilKikU]

:o I know, I know. I was young!!!

Anyways, Faye, I dont think you have to spread pro RHCP propoganda. Everyone here seems to like or at least respect them. (self included.)

[fayefaye]

Originally posted by Koa

yeah, me too. Nothing puts me off something quite as much as everybody else being completely in love with it. Not just music, but books, movies, tv shows, etc. So nobody's going to tell me about this Depache Mode? And kik, until I posted up my RHCP propaganda, I hadn't read of anybody here liking or respecting them-just Az and Ickmeister saying that they 'don't really like them' or that they are 'really bad.'

[Koa]

Originally posted by subterranean

Same for me actually, that's why I can only respect them, not really like them...

faye, you asked for it... I'll send you a pm when I finish checking the forum. Then don't complain about MY propaganda :D ;)

Originally posted by fayefaye

They're an 80's band, famous for being the first "electronic music band", in the way that they used synthesizers and the like to compose actual songs in the classical manner, with chorus and all, instead of just doing "dance" music. They've got a couple of very good albums (Violator and Music for the Masses), no more.


Originally posted by Koa

Likewise.:)

[Koa]

Crisaor, faye now has 2 long private messages about depeche mode, she might get another one if I'm really bored tonight :D

[fayefaye]

Thanks koa. and *sigh* even though I love them, it's true that the chilli peppers songs are awful similar. I do still love them.

[IWilKikU]

The stuff off "One Hot Minute" has a really unique voice, because John Fruisiante (or however its spelled) was replaced with Dave Navarro (or however its spelled). Its alot more driven than the slower paced Californication.

[subterranean]

I dont know which one is it, but RHCP's guitarrist (whether it was John or Dave), was included in 100 guitarrist of all time by the Rolling Stones mag. Personally I was kinda disappointed with the list,since Dave or John was put at a higher rank than David Gilmour (Pink Floyd lead guitarrist). I mean, there's no way DAve or John was higher than David... Mr. Gilmour is a legend.

I don't read or check out Rolling Stones mag/website since then :mad:


crisaor, there must be a better and less-painful way to keep in shape ;) , which i dont know what..


faye, though u already got some pms about depeche mode, you can check out also www.allmusic.com. It's a great site that has complete info about many bands/singers etc. One of my fav sites:)

[Koa]

Oh yeah I often check the allmusic site too...I try to look for the most obscure bands and see what they have about them :D

Sorry. Too much Matrix will do that to ya :D .

[subterranean]

Matrix huh?!

*remembering Revolution, that awful end of trilogy*

[fayefaye]

I deserve to be shot for not earlier paying homage to:
-the smashing pumpkins, I've listened to their Adore CD that by now I should be certifiably crazy. (even though I hate the song Ava Adore, always skip it)
-The Goo Goo Dolls (of course)
-Oasis

[fayefaye]

(yes, I do remain blissfully ignorant of a lot of the smashing pumpkins lyrics)

[Blade]

The only one good is the original, of course. I'm not over it though. Revolutions wasn't what I was expecting (not by a longshot), but I feel like it was a definite improvement over Reloaded. When I walked out of Revolutions, I didn't feel like I've had been robbed. I did in the second one.

Oasis rocks. I've said this already. You won't be shot now that you've acknowledged thy error :D .
Regarding the Pumpkins, I really like Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.

[Nadine]

Hi all,

I'm new to the forum, but not to the site. I can honestly say I don't have a favourite "type" of music. Over the past few days I've been listening to Harry Connick Jr (helluva voice), Bette Midler, Deee-Lite. A lot of the time I listen to 80's music or songs from the 90's. Don't listen to much of the chart music, all this house and garage drives me insane, but thats not to say I'm biased against those that do. Loving the site BTW :p

[fayefaye]

BETTE MIDLER??EWWWWW....

[Koa]

Who's Bette Midler? i think I heard this name before

I liked Oasis when i was 14. Still love the Morning Glory cd, all the rest was such a delusion to me... Really didn't like anything else they did (excpet a couple of songs).

I can't get into the Smashing Pumpkins... I like some songs, I generally like them, but I couldnt manage to listen to the cds much...they don't stick to me..

[crisaor]

"Thanks to your gloomy music, they've finally stopped dreaming about a future I can't possibly provide". :D ;)

[fayefaye]

LOL. :D ;) :)

I listen to them so much, but they do make me really pensive. I have no idea why i listen to them so much. maybe I'm more masochistic than I thought?

I don't know, maybe it's just me, but sometimes band member's behaviour really affect me in liking a band. I think that Liam is a smartarse ;). I only like What's the Story....

The Smashing Pumpkins is a great band. Too bad they separated (comedy doesn't pay..huh?!). And Billy is somekind of a genious.

I know what you mean. It's happened to me in the past. Just not with Oasis ;) . Liam is merely the singer, albeit a great one. Noel is the brain of the band.

Some bands are like this. There are some band members who play bigger roles. Like in Pink Floyd, Roger is the brain, Dave is the heart and Syd is the soul.

Speaking about Oasis, i heard the band is looking for a new drummer cause the old one has problem with his hand.
SO sorry for him

I like your Pink Floyd dissection. :D
What I heard is that the band (the brothers) fired Alan White (the drummer) because of "differences". It's not the first time that they do this.

[a lonely weed]

music is wonderful!!

let's see...there's almost any band/musician from the 70's and 60's, espescially Don McLean, Led Zepplin and the Beatles.

then comes the 80's, Journey, REM, and U2, then the 90's, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Hootie and the Blowfish....there are too many wonderful bands out there!.....Oh yes, the all-time favs Lifehouse, Jars of Clay, Paloalto, and Wilco....I could never stop talking about music

Thanks for the compliment and the recommendations Star Blue.

Are these bands on the same label as GYBE?

Atiguhya Padma

[star blue]

yes, they're all three on constellation's label.

[piquant]

I have a thing for classical piano music, Wilco, The Flaming Lips, and others along these lines.

I am absolutely musically illiterate. I just started picking up good music in the past year. Before that, I just didn't like anything. (except instrumental music that had no idiotic lyrics to ruin it (read as pop/country))

[subterranean]

I listened to some stuffs from the Lips. At first I thought it was just a band that want to try its luck in the music bussiness, but actually the band is worth tuning in to :)

[subterranean]

Anyone saw LP's live on texas? I saw the footage and it's pretty cool. Chester's got something more to offer with his voice I think.

But one thing that kinda confuse me..don't you think that it's kinda outdated thing to smash instruments these days?? :rolleyes:

[Yeroptok]

Yeah I listen to Linkin Park mainly right now... though various other bands and vocalist are also in there with what I listen to.

[subterranean]

Well what do you think about the smashing things they did in Texas?

It's pretty obvious which band I'm into at the current moment.

I seriously can't get DEVO out of my head. It's really starting to freak me out. My official DEVO shirt came in the mail today, and I nearly married the mailman because of it.

YOU GUYS! SAVE ME FROM MY OWN BRAIN, PLEASE!!! D: But is rather nice, I guess. But they are all I think about nowadays! It's just DEVO, DEVO, DEVO, DEVO, DEVO, DEVO!!!!!!!

I was even crazy enough to revive this really old thread just to talk about them. D:


But...*brain strains hard enough to stop thinking about DEVO for a split second*

I also regularly listen to Oingo Boingo. I'm also trying to get into Depeche Mode, maybe...and some other random new wave 80s bands/singers. Jihad Jerry and the Evildoers...(In your face political and social satire all the way, like DEVO, ha ha... AGH I THOUGHT OF THEM AGAIN! D: )...and of course, classical music and movie soundtracks...plus some jazz, rock 'n' roll, and Celtic.

[Bakiryu]

I love Linking Park but I'm currently obbsessed with TATU!

I'm like the HUGEST fan on Linkin Park..and I like Tatu too...though I don't have thier latest album.
I love Within Temptation...Nightwish...Lacuna Coil...Nickelback...Creed...and these kinda music.

[Bakiryu]

I have 7 linking part t-shirts and most of tatu's songs on my 'pod. I also listen to Kill Hannah, Senses Fail, Three days grace, Via Gra, His Immortal Majesty (H.i.M), Gackt, Miyavi, Marilyn Manson, Verka Serduchka, and The Red Jumpsuit apparatus. (In mostly into emo/foreign things)

[Nossa]

I have all of Linkin Park albums, but no t-shirts..lol...I'm currently addicted to the new Three Days Grace album actually...I have it on autoplay 24/7 lol
I like some songs by Marilyn Manson as well..
If you like Evanescence then you should really try listening to Within Temptation.

I love Within Temptation too :banana: But currently I'm listening to nightwish, especially their last album is great!!

I love Nightwish too...but it's been a while since I last listened to anything by them. Which album is that btw?! Maybe I have it somewhere here :D

[Annamariah]

Within Temptation and Nightwish are great. I'm waiting for Nightwish's new album with their new singer.

[Elly_blue]

I love Nightwish too...but it's been a while since I last listened to anything by them. Which album is that btw?! Maybe I have it somewhere here :D

˝Once˝, But I also love ˝Century Child˝ :)
Do they really have a new singer? Cool... but I'm not sure if they are going to be as good as they used to be. But I still look forward to their new album

[Annamariah]

Yes, her name is Anette Olzon (http://www.nightwish.com/en/band/members/facts?id=16)

You can hear her singing if you listen to these audio samples (http://www.nightwish.com/en/files/audio) from nightwish.com

Their new album Dark Passion Play will be released 28th September :)

[Bakiryu]

I love Three Days Grace's song: Pain.

[Mortis Anarchy]

Shiny Toy Guns and Radiohead are my two music obsessions at the moment...even though I've loved Radiohead for years.

Anyone into Amy Winehouse?? Is she not amazing or what?? Her voice! So cool. I'll pretty much listen to anything except for country/bluegrass. May it burn! Ugh can't stand it...its my brothers choice of music...gross. Sorry to all who enjoy it.

I ♥ Oingo Boingo and Depeche Mode...I ♥ 80's music as well as pretty much everything from the 20's on.:D

[Adolescent09]

Here is a song I think some of you lit-netters will enjoy. I don't even like the song's genre (It sounds like some awkward foreign music but I LOVE it to pieces) which is really saying something because my main music interest lies in HIP HOP which I am aware most of you mature and more intelligent lit-netters find invidious and execrable.

The music is strung together by an ex-dj who is now a practicing physician which is quite interesting! Here it is : Maxwell Implosion - Tic Tac (http://www.musicvideofun.com/v-6017-tic-tac.html)and I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did. I REALLY like it :D

OMG YES! I was at the orthodontist office today, and the radio station was playing "Just Another Day", one of my favorite Oingo Boingo songs! I was totally surprised because I didn't think modern radio would play that kind of stuff. (Shows you how much I listen to radio, I guess.) But it's a radio station that plays whatever. I remember I saw a commercial for the same radio station at a local movie theater, and the commerical was playing "Whip It" by DEVO and it had a guy dong the robot. I nearly had a heart attack as I spazzed out in front of my clueless friend...as you can see, very, very small things will make me extremely happy. So I think I'll listen to that radio station more. This lady I know says they play a lot of '80s stuff. <3

I really, really, want to listen to more Depeche Mode. "People Are People" is amazing, I think.

Haha, don't worry, little things make me happy. My family is always like "WHAT! ARE! YOU! LAUGHING! AT!":D

:banana: These little guys make me happy. I also really like underground rap...my bro got me into it.

Sigur Ros anyone?

[RobinHood3000]

I love my oldies - Eagles, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Huey Lewis, plus a lot of the old rock and roll/Motown sounds. I also like soundtracks and Poison from time to time.

[andave_ya]

Oldies he says. Captain, Fred Astaire, the Andrews Sisters, Gene Kelly, the Pied Pipers, Johnny Mercer, and Frank Sinatra are oldies. :) They used to be my favorites in music but I've moved on to other grounds. Right now my music tends to the more instrumental. the Lord of the Rings soundtrack; and Celtic as Celtic Woman and Loreena McKennitt. Very pretty stuff.

[RobinHood3000]

Eh - everything's relative. :)

[LPRox015]

I love everything. I'm a huge rock and Linkin Park fan. Now i'm also really getting into folk music such as Imogen Heap, The Weepies, and Del Amitri. I love the different sounds.

[Nossa]

I LOVE Linkin Park..I mean WHO DOESN'T? lol
I'm glad I found some LP fans in here :D :D

[smartgirl]

Linkin park is cool. I listen to hellogoodbye, blue man group, nickelback, tonic, vertical horizon, greenday, all american rejects, red hot chili peppers, evanescence, HIM, three days grace, staind. Lots of bands, but I wanted to know of some others, maybe you guys can recomend some.

[Lily Adams]

I'm listening to some Klaus Nomi right now.

http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa144/shesoutofsync/klausnomi.jpg

I kinda like his music from what little I've heard. Opera mixed with new wave. Maybe I'll get more into his music...

[the silent x]

i have all of linkin parks CDs except collision course, i have all of demon hunter CDs, skindred, audioslave, breaking benjamin, almost all rock as long as it doesn't slam my beliefs and isn't all boo-hoo poor, poor me kinda thing. i also have some vitamin strigns quartet, they do your everyday rock bands and make tributes for them, they are actually very good

[JBI]

I'm listening to Anna Netrebko Right now :).

[Bakiryu]

I'm listening to Justin Timberlake. Most of my music isn't even in English: I have a lot of stuff in Russian, Japanese and Punjabi.

[the silent x]

the only thing i listen to in another language is rammestein

[Bakiryu]

Well if you like really funny music you can listen to verka serduchka: he's hilarious.

Yep me too. I have stuff from all over the world. My Uncle and cousins are OCD so there thing is collecting cds, I benefit cause I get the music for free. Right now I really like the Paris Combo and Gypsy Kings...pretty good.

[Lily Adams]
