Hey everyone, what kind of music do y'all listen to?
I like, Modern rock, alternative, some metal, some christen rock/metal, and VERY little rap.
Some of my favorite bands are Linkin Park, POD, Pillar, Creed, Breaking Benjamin, NTL(russian rap), Metallica, Crossfade, Evenescence, and, uh, that's all I can think of right now(Not in any particular order) but there's others. What about you guys?

Re: Your music - 04/15/06 06:23 PM

I listen to everything. As long as it doesn't involve screaming like you're throwing up throughout the whole song.


Jazz
Rock
Alternative
Funk
Nu-Metal
Some Pop
Some Hip-Hop

Anything catchy and you can tap a beat along with.
Any music that's interesting is good. I have nothing against any genre.

Some select bands:

System Of A Down
Red Hot Chili Peppers
311
Franz Ferdinand
The Offspring
Led Zeppelin
Black Sabbath
Judas Priest
Guns 'N Roses
Audioslave
Beck
Sublime
Dream Theater
Incubus

I like listening to classic rock as some times. Also oldies like Gene Kruppa, Buddy Rich inspire my drumming.

..and you still managed to leave out Pink Floyd, The Mothers of Invention, Rush, Supertramp, ELO and countless others, but otherwise I like anything that is good and well written, musically.

A couple of choice drummers those two.

btw, ScottO, how did you get on with your Black Dog?

After only a couple of replies. That's gotta be a record.

Yes! I left out Rush! Also a fantastic drummer. His drumset is amazing and wow...what a variety of things to do behind that baby.

Black Dog is going smoothly on guitar. I've managed to get the first few notes good without it being all sketchy!

a really cool site you guys should go to is www.last.fm

you put in a band you like and it shows a cross referenced list of other bands you might like. It started as audioscrobbler.com and is a pretty cool project.

never heard of the pixies??!? youre not fit to breathe my air!!

just kidding but they were a late 80's early 90's band that defined what we know as alternative rock today. They were hugely popular in the UK for the kids in the early 90's indie scene. Plus their bassist is from my hometown Dayton OH and I knocked her over at a Presidents of the USA show. woot for me.

Kurt Kobain famously was quoted as saying when he wrote "Smells Like Teen Spirit" he was just trying to rip off a pixies song.

One of the coolest moments in movie history is during Fight Club when the buildings start to blow up all to the tune of "Where is my Mind" by the Pixies.

Re: Your music - 04/16/06 06:15 AM

I listen to stuff people think it's weird. (Imagine, a South East Asian listening to German Industrial.

Linkin park, Evanescance, Iron Maidens, Hammerfall, Rammstein, 12 stones, Limp Bizkit, Metallica.

Japanese artists: Dragon Ash, King Gidora, Gackt, TM Revolution, Ayumi Hamasaki, Utada Hikaru and Siam Shade [if you watched the Manga "Rurouni Kenshin" or Samurai X, the first song called Heart Of Sword, it's Siam Shade.]

Chinese: Jay Chou [The dude that played in the Chinese movie "Initial D" and sung the song for the credit in Hua Yuan-Jia[fearless].

Thai: Thaitanium. An American based group of rappers who are "Thai-guns"[Second/Third generation of Thais born in LA].

Kinda weird music taste I possess, aye? But usually, I listen to Rammstein, 24/7.

Switchfoot
Alice in Chains
Smashing Pumpkins
Metallica
Peter Gabriel
Evanescance
Stevie Ray Vaughn
Pink Floyd
Rush
AC/DC
Van Halen (DLR era)
Iron Maiden
Neil Young
White Zombie
Foo Fighters


I could go on...


As I have gotten older, I don't listen to NEARLY the music that I used to. It isn't that I don't like it anymore, it's just that I don't tolerate GARBAGE in the way that I used to. Talent means a lot more than FLASH to me now in other words.

Now it's all over the place; jazz, rock, alternative who cares, as long as it's good.

Another thing I despise is unoriginality and music that sounds all the same. That definitely means little if any rap or R&B. Nothing hardly ever comes out of that genre that's sounds different than any other artists of that type.

If you've lost faith in hip hop, I'm going to recommed Blackalicious and The Roots, for a no-nonsense, great rap exerience... and of course there's always Public Enemy for some cold cold lampin'

I listen to a slightly stupid amount of music... I actually sleep listening to music Music I've been listening to recently:

Shostakovich
The Smiths
Chevelle
Blackalicious
Pink Floyd
Bob Marley
Bach
Nirvana
Wagner
At the Drive In
Sublime
The Descendents

Okay, some more I can't think of at this moment... but meh

EDIT: yes, the Pixies do rock... and Frank Black's work recently has been pretty good too!

How did I leave out the Grateful Dead???

JKogas,

Got to agree on the rap thing although I can tolerate Eminem. Maybe because he doesn't sound like the rest.

Re: Your music - 04/17/06 12:42 AM

So many I can't even list them. Mostly rock with some emphasis to hard rock. Like some heavy metal (as defined in the 80's). Don't like grung and almost next to nothing for rap. Like a little country but has to be more up beat. Not into jazz but don't mind it in the background ... kind of like celtic music. I like anything that has good rythme, good flow, upbeat and has a good chorus ... not to mention good lyrics and a good singer. So ... that leaves it endless.

I listen to some stuff people would think I'm a nancy boy where as other music people may think I'm a die hard rocker. I used to be embarassed to say I like certain music but why limit myself.

Re: Your music - 04/17/06 11:52 AM

With apologies to those who have seen this before -

I have a pretty broad palate for music, MMA even. "Mixed Musical Arts".

I'll tick off a few names for a couple categories, but the full list would be too huge to write.

Rock/pop - Bands that can play their own instruments. Generally not dance stuff, punk or rap, although there are exceptions. More often, I like particular songs as opposed to bands as a whole.

Alternative/Grunge - More my taste in rock as a rule. I like the musically challenging bands like Soundgarden and System of a Down, Chevelle, Rage against the Machine.

Bluegrass, but not country pop - Charlie Daniels and Nickel Creek rule. Brooks and Dunn can kiss my ass, and they better not meet me in a dark alley singing "My Maria".

Raggae - Pretty much Bob Marley is all I know. Good stuff.

Jazz - Buddy Rich rules. So does John Coltrane, early Miles Davis (not the later crap), Charlie Parker, Dave Brubeck, etc. Smooth Jazz can equally kiss my ass. KennyG is the [censored] Anti-Christ.

Fusion Jazz - Some good stuff there. Bela Fleck is great. Chick Corea, The Mahavishnu Orchestra, Jean Luc Ponty, Brand X (Phil Collins, mega awesome drummer)....I know, dating myself bad here.

Metal - Metallica, of course. Also Sepultura and Pantera, although their overall repetoires not as good, but a few standout albums.

Classic rock - All the majors: Stones, Who, Zeppelin, ELP, Yes, Traffic, Cream, Hendrix, Genesis, VH (Diamond Dave, not Screamin' Sammy)......so many. REO speedwagon can kiss my ass.

R&B/Soul/Funk - Marvin Gaye rules. "Mercy mercy me" one of my all time favorites. Ray Charles and James Brown, of course. Earth Wind and Fire, Chic and Parliment Funkadelic, although P/F to lesser degree to me personally. Barry White for pure mojo, baby.

World Music - Not so much, but there are exceptions.

Latin - Getz/Gilberto. Awesome stuff.

Classical - Beethoven rules. Piano in general rocks, although Spanish guitar rocks as well. Opera blows for the most part. What the hell are they talking about?! Carmina Burana (sp?) one of the exceptions.

Show tunes - Don't make me slap the [censored] out of you.

All I can think of right now. BTW, John Bonham (Zeppelin) and Phil Collins (Genesis, Brand X) were the drummers who made me start playing.

Re: Your music - 04/17/06 03:16 PM

I've recently found out about a reggae band of Hasidic Jewish people. Or maybe just one. They're call "Matisyahu" and I listened to a few of their songs....Not bad....I'm not into that genre a whole lot but I'd listen to these guys. And people think me crazy for it.

I also forgot about Soundgarden and Rage Against The Machine. Bob Marley, Hendrix, The Who....

I think I've been obsessed with that song! The chorus is catchy as hell and the video is pretty funny.

The guitar jam at the end just makes you want to jump around and shake your head. I'm actually tried to learn it on the guitar.

Re: Your music - 04/18/06 05:17 PM

RHCP are legends, and I am glad to hear a bit of a return to their funk rock roots in the new stuff (they showcased some of it in a live performance for BBC Radio 1 last night- it can be listened to on the website all week). Californication onwards they turned a bit too mellow and surfer for me. Their mellow stuff works best as a contrast to their upbeat numbers- whole albums of it get a bit bland IMO.

Nice one Cord, listening right now. Theyre doing random 'no ticket' unannounced shows all over London, dont know how long for. Well Im in Central London tomorrow and friday, hope I get lucky!

Re: Your music - 04/18/06 06:47 PM

Yeah, Californication is a bit too mellow. Even the single "Californication" I thought went on a bit too long...it's abuot 6 minutes I think (maybe 5).

But even so, they still have a way to work catchiness and funk into whatever they do. Their lyrics I feel never slack and they make you think.

Counting down the days 'til Stadium Arcadium.

Just saw them live this Saturday, they were pretty good, I was there for Death Cab for Cutie though.
I wish I was a woman so I could offer Ben Gibbard my womb.

I like a lot of your other choices, especially Judas Priest and the Offspring.

I missed both shows though. I'm a douche.

Same here. I was going through some old CDs the other day and I couldn't believe the trash I used to listen to; Cannibal Corpse. It has to be the worst band in the history of the universe.

I'm a huge Indie fan these days. My favorites, but not limited to;

The Arcade Fire
The Stills
Snow Patrol

Bright Eyes
Built to Spill
Badly Drawn Boy
Early Day Miners

I've got an idea. Let's play this game where we look at each other's music preferences and suggest bands they might like.

I notice that so far no one has mentioned "The King."

Funny that because every single person I know, put a couple of beers inside them and they can sing virtually all the words to at least one of his songs.

Bear in mind people, before you start flaming me for espousing the virtues of the late great Elvis Presley, that without him and others, none of the bands listed would even be playing "pop music."

Re: Your music - 04/22/06 12:08 AM

I'm not a fan of Elvis, though I do like a few of his songs and I have seen most of his movies. I also remember the day he died and walking with friends across a field discussing him.

I'm also not a fan of the Beatles, though again a few songs do sit out and I have seen their movies.

There are certain bands or individuals that stand out from time to time and help shape the music of tomorrow. They have many influences that allowed them to express themselves in their music. My hats off to each of these, though again I may not be a fan but they do have their place in music history.

Re: Your music - 07/13/06 11:41 PM

Old thread but came upon some more groups that I've found I liked from listening to Pandora. I've added "12 Stones" and "Trust Company". I've heard and seen a video by "Tupelo Honey" and they are another group I think I'll enjoy. My brother also now got me into "Hinder" and "3 Days Grace" just came out with their new album and it is awesome.

StormDragon, you got me into Crossfade so I think you may like these. For those of you not familar with Pandora you should take a look at it. ( www.pandora.com )

Pandora has added a new section called Backstage where you can search on artists or songs and if they have the permission from the record companies they will list those albums and you can listen to song clips. I have found this extremely useful as I can then decide if I want to purchase the CD or not. Plus they will list below it other similar artists that you may be interested in. Pandora rocks.

Pandora ... it is a website that creates a radio station only and is not a group. However they can find more groups that you may like. Check them out and check out the bands I've listed like "12 Stones", "3 Days Grace" (Canadian Band touring with Nickleback) and "Trust Company".

Hmm, I cou've sworn there was a band called Pandora. Oh well. I check the site anyway though.
