What do you listen to?

I'm only a week or two into posting on this forum... and I was just wondering what type of music you all listen to?  I feel like it tells a lot about a person.  I'm constantly evolving in terms of music (and I guess in terms of everything)

I'm big into folk/blues/classic rock right now: Beatles, State Radio, Ben Harper and the Relentless 7, Steve Miller Band-- just to name a few I've been listening to the most of late

And I'm really on a Coltrane kick (perfect study music)

Anyone else like to share?

Wow I hadn't checked this in

Wow I hadn't checked this in a while, it got kind of hostile for a minute there...  I guess I'm a musician

I play guitar and sing in a band that maybe 3 of you would like... I can't read sheet music but I can sing harmonies consistently and play the guitar well enough

that's what's stuck in my head today

I love a whole array of

I love a whole array of different music.  Mostly Classic Rock and Classical Music...but also, Big Band, Jazz, Burt Bacharach & that 60's era, Glam Rock (Bowie, T-Rex, Mott The Hoople), Punk (Sex Pistols, Clash, Plastic Bertrand, Sioxsie & The Banshees, etc.) Guns & Roses (love Axle Rose's voice), Pearl Jam, Disco (great for working out).

 

Classic Rock would be:  Woodstock, CSN&Y, Hendrix, Joplin, Beatles, Led Zepplin (love, love, love!!!) Almost anything on a good classic rock radio station.

 

Classical Music would be:  Prokofiev's Romeo & Juliet, Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, anything Mozart and Beethoven(sp?), Grieg, Hayden, Handel, Gershwin's Rapsody in Blue, etc.

 

I've even liked a rap song & love French rap.  Even a Patsy Cline Country Song!!!!!!!   Jesus Fucking Christ...LOL!!

Rush is my favourite band

Rush is my favourite band but I'm also really into blues guitar.  I appreciate classical guitar, too.  Basically, I enjoy anything played really well on guitar (consequently, my least favourite Rush albums are the most synth-heavy ones -- but even those have some gems on them).

I don't care much for rap, hiphop, etc.  I do enjoy a many of the big names in classic rock -- Stones, Beatles, Led Zep, Springsteen, etc.

Reality is the graveyard of the gods.

Megadeth, ministry, tool,

Megadeth, ministry, tool, apc, satch, pink floyd, old metallica of course. I like some of the newer stuff I hear on the radio, but apparently not enough to run out and buy it.

Mustaine from megadeth actually disappointed me, I thought he was a pretty smart guy, but he is "born again" now and has a preacher following him around to "keep him straight" Oh well I still like their music.

 edit: Primus, how could I forget Primus ><

A lot of stuff, actually...

i listed to a lot of stuff. i'm eclectic but picky. i'm in a metal band, and as such i listen to a lot of metal. mostly the NWOAHM (New Wave Of American Heavy Metal). bands like Chimaira, Lamb Of God, God Forbid, DevilDriver, Killswitch Engage. however since about 2006 i've gained a new appriciation for In Flames. (Swedish Melodic Death Metal). in fact i've grown to appriciate In Flames so much that they've really been the only metal i've listned to in months.

i listen to rap as well (What up Sapient?!?!Represent!) but i'm extremely picky with it. there hasn't been a new rapper i've enjoyed in many years. around the same time i came to appriciate In Flames, i also came to appriciate Jay-Z. Hova is the man. Lyrically he's amazing, but more so in the recent years i enjoy his subject matter. "30 Something" and Minority Report off  Kingdom Come were amazing songs. Everything on the Black Album was incredible. i think it was after i watched his movie Fade to Black that i gained my respect and admiration for him.

at the same time i'm all about that stuff, Dido is always in my playlist. every time. she's one of my favorite artists of all time. along with Portishead and Massive Attack.

I like nearly every genre

I like nearly every genre though I'm pretty selective within each. Just for a few examples:
Rap: Jay Z's grey album is the fucking shit. Blackstar. CRS.
Country/Folk: Woodie Guthrie. Two Gallants. Connor Obrest. Andy the Door Bum.
Folk/rap: Austronautalis. Why?
Electronic: The Emotron. Peanut Wilson. Sonic Death Rabbit. Ladytron. The Faint.
Punk: The Descendents. BlackFlag. Bomb the Music Industry. Against Me! Small Brown Bike.
Indie Rock: The Royal Alberta Advantage. Land of Talk. Modest Mouse. The Thermals.
And my most favorite band of all time. Cursive. Here is their video "Big Bang" from Happy Hollow. Their atheist album.

I live in the Philippines

I live in the Philippines and our country is heavily influenced by western music. I like listening to Panic at the Disco and Alternative Rock bands. I also like hearing chinese classical instruments especially the Chinese Erhu and the Chinese Zither.

Thank you very much, that was lovely.  I am also very fond of classical Chinese music.  And I like Japanese, East Indian, African, Middle Eastern, .......  I even like classical Chinese opera and Japanese Kabuki theater.  But I can not get into Noh.

I will listen to almost any kind of music - western classical symphonic and opera, punk, good old rock and roll, pop, metal - acid or heavy, r&b, hip hop, mariachi, western musicals and music hall, bluegrass, folk, .....

In fact, I can only think of two I don't like - country western and modern atonal classical.  I don't like listening to people whine about beer and relationships and I don't like music that sounds like someone screeching chalk on a blackboard.

Psybient, also known as

Psybient, also known as ambient psy, psychedelic ambient, ... psychill and psydub, is a genre of electronic music that combines elements of psychedelic trance, ambient, world music, new age and even ethereal wave. It often has many dub influences and can also sound somewhat like glitch. Psybient pieces are often structured around the concept of creating a "sonic voyage" or "musical journey". Although similar to psytrance's emphasis on maintaining non-stop rhythm throughout the night, psybient is far more focused on creating a vast soundscape  that can be experienced over the length of an album, focusing less on beatmatching and allowing for a myriad of tempo changes.

Music

I like a lot of music, but mostly metal, punk, underground hip hop, jazz, and an eclectic mix of many more.

Estradasphere plays every genre of music, and very well at that.

Propagandhi is one of my all time favorite bands. I've been lucky enough to have gone to two of their shows here in Seattle when they made it out this way. Very intelligent lyrics.

Choking Victim was a great punk rock band. In your face, challenge your indoctrination style stuff.

Floater is one of my favorite bands, and over the past nine years have seen them 25-30 times. Great live music, always an amazing show!

Sorry about all the embeds, I hope some people enjoy the songs.

This is my first post here-

This is my first post here- kinda jumping the gun a bit on the whole introduction thing but, screw it.

 I listen to a lot of Sublime, Slightly Stoopid, Bob Marley, Jack Johnson, Norah Jones...anything with a feel good vibe. I like G.Love and can get down with some Aqua Bats too ...sometimes a little bit of Rancid does the nerves good.

 My whole family has just discovered d.j Lance Rock in Yo Gabba Gabba, so we listen to that in the car all the time for our kiddos.

i mentioned this in another

i mentioned this in another thread a couple weeks ago: how 'bout a little morbid angel?

this was the first anti-christian song i ever heard as a 12 year-old kid staying up late at my friend's house to watch headbangers ball, and it was almost as thrilling as watching my first porno, which also happened around the same time.  ah, memories...

 

"I have never felt comfortable around people who talk about their feelings for Jesus, or any other deity for that matter, because they are usually none too bright. . . . Or maybe 'stupid' is a better way of saying it; but I have never seen much point in getting heavy with either stupid people or Jesus freaks, just as long as they don't bother me. In a world as weird and cruel as this one we have made for ourselves, I figure anybody who can find peace and personal happiness without ripping off somebody else deserves to be left alone. They will not inherit the earth, but then neither will I. . . . And I have learned to live, as it were, with the idea that I will never find peace and happiness, either. But as long as I know there's a pretty good chance I can get my hands on either one of them every once in a while, I do the best I can between high spots."
--Hunter S. Thompson
