I like hip-hop, R&B, rock and various subgenres of rock, SOME pop, some techno, some classical... well, I guess I like a little bit of everything. ;)

R&B in the orrigional meaning of the phrase

All of the above (literally).

Favourite band: Rush
Favourite composter: Dvorak or Tchacovski

Started playing guitar when I was eight(I'm 37) so I grew up on Classic Rock. After high school, I attended Berklee College of Music in Boston, which opened me up to the jazz scene. So I guess my fav style would be a rock/jazz/fusion sort of thing.

Favorite Bands/Artists: Jane's Addiction, King's X, Primus, Phish, Steps Ahead, The Yellowjackets, Budgie, Fishbone, Steely Dan, Rage Against the Machine, Allman Bros., Pink Floyd, Living Colour, Dread Zeppelin, Miles Davis, Frank Zappa, Michael Brecker, Concrete Blonde . . . I could go on forever, but who really wants that?

Classic Punk Rock.

Sex Pistols, Ramones, The Damned, Buzzcocks, The Clash, Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, etc.

Bits of almost everything...

Favourites are mostly Industrial (Ministry, Nine Inch Nails, KMFDM), Gothic (Sisters of Mercy, later Depeche Mode), or Darkwave (:Wumpscut:, 9inota) bands... some electronica (Prodigy, Leftfield, Chemical Brothers)... and various other stuff... like The Cure...

Hell, I love all kinds of music.
Sometimes I might listen to Captain Jack and in the next moment some hard finnish trash-metal/techno combination.
I also love listening to Prince, George Michael and Michael Jackson.

You must understand that answering your poll is a bit difficult for me.

Hardcore, emo, powerviolence, grind, crust, mathcore and some gangsta rap.

Mostly bands like: At The Drive-In, Planes Mistaken For Stars, Indian Summer, Saetia, Hot Cross, Joshua Fit For Battle, Orchid, The Locust, Aus Rotten, the Swing Kids, Heroin, Angel Hair, Four Hundred Years, Envy, Moss Icon, mewithYou, combatwoundedveteran, Small Brown Bike...

what on earth are powerviolence, grind, crust and mathcore??

what on earth are powerviolence, grind, crust and mathcore??

Ridiculous subgenres.

My favourite type of music is Refused Party Program.

Mostly, i listen to whatever i like.
Artists in bold are ons i feel are paticularly important

Artists currently in my cd folder:
DreamTheater, Pitchshifter, Incubus, Silverchair, Muse, Alanis Morissette, 1st Matrix soundtrack, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Tori Amos, Metallica, 1st Shrek soundtrack, Audioslave, Iron Maiden and The Rocky Horror Show.

Other artists that spring to mind:
Radiohead, Sheryl Crow, Live, Union Underground, Cypress Hill, Maroon 5, Insane Clown Posse, Nine Inch Nails, Aphex Twin, oh the list goes on and on... yeah i think i'll just write etc.

However, i'm doing music a levels, and i've done Associated Board Jazz piano, so now all my piano compositions have a jazz feel to the harmonies. As a result, i'm under orders to listen to classical music more, and while i don't seem to enjoy it as much as my other music, i can still apprieciate it as fine music. I can't say the same of most pop / dance music i've heard. Sweeping generalisation tho, i do apologize. :D

:D

yay another jazz fan :D

You can't live half of your life near KC and the other half near Memphis and within driving distance of New Orleans, without having a taste for jazz. My favorite performer is Jimmy Witherspoon.

And to quote myself from another post: Emo SUCKS! It is ruining the image of punk rock as we know it. Emo and Pop music are the two genres that I cannot respect, and respect is worth more than adoration.
Emo is what's keeping Punk (Though it's barely a Punk subgenre) going. It's balancing out the sell outs and the crap pop punk bands.

Personally, I think some punk and hardcore music is ok, I admit I like Anti Flag, and some Canadian punk bands, and a lot of bands with hardcore or post hardcore elements, but the lack of any real emotion in punk and the whole machismo element in hardcore gets annoying after a while.

Symphonic metal and power metal for me, with a few nips at other subgenres:

After Forever, Aina, Apocalyptica, Asrai, Autumn, Ayreon, Dragonforce, Dream Theater, Edguy, Epica, Finntroll, For My Pain..., Haggard, Lacuna Coil, Nightwish, Sonata Arctica, The Gathering, Theatre Of Tragedy, Therion, Tristania, Visions Of Atlantis, Within Temptation

One of these bands in not like the others
One of these bands just doesn't belong
Can you guess which one is not like the others
By the time I finish my song

simon & garfunkel? You're right. Where did this one come from?

simon & garfunkel? You're right. Where did this one come from?

30 rock bands ranging from classic hard rock to metal, and then one light folk band.

It's a fusion of jazz and funk. It's called junk.

Psychobilly is by far the best. The Cramps, Tiger Army, The Meteors, its all good.

How could you Forget Alternative ROck. I am offended. OH well. Well I dont have a favourite, but I listen to all rock.

Acid Jazz, Breakbeats, Downtempo, Rare Grooves, Funk.

Yeah, most Punk Rock lacks anything close to emotion, which is sad, since it was originally an emotional musical movement.

And hardcore does get fucking annoying. "Look at us, we can play really fast and growl and scream about nothing!".

I picked old school rock, but I also listen to a bit of Industrial, Folk, Reggae, Dub and Electronicy stuff. And apparently "post-grunge" which supposedly defines +Live+. I also listen to a bit of Qawwali.

My favourite bands/artists? Queen, Rammstein, Led Zeppelin, Cat Stevens, Asian Dub Foundation, Live, Muse and SOAD. I also listen to an assortment of music from the 70's, like The Who, Elton John, Simon and Garfunkel etc.

If you like Reggae and Rock, listen to The Clash. They were extremely good at what they did.

Yeah, I've been meaning to look into music from that era, but never got around to it.

I could hook you up with some 30-second samples if ya want. I'd like to give everybody a whole song, but seeing as how that's illegal (and frowned upon)...

I love rock, grunge, some old-school punk, and some rock-rap. My favourite bands are Pearl Jam, Faith No More, Rage Against the Machine, Alice in Chains, The Ramones and The Clash

Ever heard any Sex Pistols? They're quite delicious to listen to, especially their live recordings.

ska punk and various subgenres.

Favorite bands: Leftover Crack, Choking Victim, Mephiskapheles, Against Me!, Le Tigre, The Planet Smashers, Fishbone, The Broadways, The Pietasters, Polysics, Dropkick Murphys, Dead Kennedys, Minor Threat, Bosstones, Let's Go Bowling, The Mountain Goats, and some others, I'm tired, thats about right. Acoustic stuff is awesome. So are synthesizers.

What's your favorite DK song?

What's your favorite DK song?

"We've got a bigger problem now" or "I am the Owl"

"Nazi Punks fuck off" is always a classic though

I prefer good old-fashioned Punk Rock.

Why was that not on the list? :headbang:

"We've got a bigger problem now" or "I am the Owl"

"Nazi Punks fuck off" is always a classic though

Nazi Punks Fuck Off was a diamond in the rough. Most of their stuff from that era was mediocre at best (if only they would've stayed how they were on Fresh Fruit...).

My Top 3 are:

#1: Kill The Poor
#2: Holiday In Cambodia
#3: Let's Lynch The Landlord (I love the surf solo on this one)

I prefer good old-fashioned Punk Rock.

Why was that not on the list? :headbang:

Because the thread creator is ignorant.

I vote whatever happens to be playing on my playlist. Don't keep stuff I don't like on it for very long.

A good explanation.

Punk, Metal, and Classic Rock are my 3 favorite genres, but punk is my favorite, because there is so much meaning to it.

Exactly! Well, except for the Ramones, for the most part anyway.

Every Sex Pistols song meant something, as well as every Clash song. It's quite rare to find a band that doesn't write filler material for "art" albums.

The only punk bands I can think of off the top of my head that didn't have meaning to all of their songs are The Ramones and The Misfits.

Both of those bands still ROCK though.

Yeah, I really need to get Fresh Fruit, I only have Plastic Surgery Disaster/In God We trust inc and Give me Convience etc.

But I totally forgot about "Kill the Poor"

DK = AWESOME.

I need to get Fresh Fruit as well, but I have Give Me Convenience and Bedtime For Democracy.

1. I Fought the Law (They do it so well)
2. Holiday In Cambodia
3. California Uber-Alles (However you spell it)

Both of those bands still ROCK though.

The Damned had a few songs that meant absolutely nothing. New Rose is the first one that comes to my mind.

But when the Ramones wrote songs that meant something, they were beautiful. I'm talking about "Poison Heart", "It's Gonna Be Alright", "Strength To Endure", and "Censorshit". Mondo Bizarro was one hell of an album... It's too bad that they only released two more, plus a final live recording. They were getting great again.

DK = AWESOME.

You have Fresh Fruit on Vinyl, or CD?

I said I NEED Fresh Fruit. Don't have it.

Bah, I didn't read that part!

Well, whatever you do, don't get the CD reissues. The first reissue from the 90's is a basic reissue, meaning that it has very shitty sound. The Digitally Remastered version from 2002 is even worse. It's *much* slower than the first reissue (which was slower than the Vinyl version, because it's on a CD, which doesn't have a true pitch/tone like a Record), and it has very crappy lows and highs. The percussion on the 2002 Reissue tends to break... A lot.

not gonna go into the huge array of bands that i like to listen to, basically almost anything between Michelle Branch through Lamb of God i'll listen to though i must take this opportunity to name the one band who particularly pisses me off: Dashboard Confessional. yea, lemme whine a bit more into the mic. anyways, i particularly enjoy Metallica (except St Anger, yuck), and those 3 grown up kids from SoCal, Green Day (they might be the biggest band of the 90's-00's era, like the Beatles were of the 60s, Zeppelin for 70's, and i spose Metallica of 80's-early 90's). Anyways, if you understand my messed up thought process, validate me plz. :)

There's a great band that everybody here should listen to.

http://www.thirdav.com/hd_images/press/pub_1986b.jpg

They're called Husker Du (Danish for "Do You Remember"), and they helped bring the "Alternative" Rock sound into the forefront.

Grunge, Stoner Rock, Old-School Punk, Blues Rock...could go on...

They're my favorites, but i'll give almost anything a go.

Favorite bands are Nirvana, Led Zeppelin, Dead Kennedys, Rage Against the Machine, Kyuss, Queens of the Stone Age, The Doors, The Clash (early stuff), Smashing Pumpkins, Hendrix, Placebo, Soundgarden, Tool...again, could go on. :D

My DK cd reissues are almost comparable quality to the vinyl versions, which I don't actually have, but routinely listen to them in my university library...mind you, not exactly the same, but the CD reissues are by no means terrible.

(unless you listen to them on a portable discman. In which case they sound shithouse.)

metalhead here, but also into classic rock, chilled out rock, stoner rock,



:D PM, you rock. I thought I was pretty much the only stonerrock fan here. There was another guy, but he left, I think.

Yeah, the first reissue was pretty good, though not close to the original Vinyl. I guess I jumped the gun on that one... But I'm still right about the 2002 Reissue. It sounds very bad, and is *very* slow.

Jello sounds like he took some sedatives... That's how slow it is!

Indie, followed up by Classic Soul.

Indie: The Shins, The Decemberists, Spoon, Iron and Wine, Beulah, The Black Keys, Devendra Banhart, Sufjan Stevens, Wilco, The Walkmen, The Unicorns, Rogue Wave, Sondre Lerche, Modest Mouse, Neutral Milk Hotel, The Arcade Fire

Soul: Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Ray Charles, Bill Whithers, The Chi-Lites, The O'Jays

yet even more awesome points for you. those guys are awesome, i thought i was the only one who liked 'em.

you should check out a band called "the slow signal fades." the stuff you'll find on the net isnt great, but some of their other songs are great.

as for my musicial tastes, i like various subgenres of rock. my favorite bands are, in no order, as follows:

soundgarden, nirvana, cream, alice in chains, the doors, burning brides, local h, nine inch nails, foo fighters, jimi hendrix, janes addiction, pixies, sonic youth, the hives, white stripes, audioslave, rage against the machine, led zepplin, mudhoney, queens of the stone age, radiohead, velvet underground, blue oyster cult, heavier smashing pumpkins stuff, jefferson airplane, the mc5, the toadies.

of all those, my best of the best would probably nirvana, the doors, the pixies and jefferson airplane

Where the hell have you been? I haven't seen you on here in ages.

And I will see if I can find some of their music.

I looked at my albums...and while I can't find a manufacturing date, they're made in Australia by Shock Records. I'm guessing that the quality must differ...

Argh, I should have put these in my list :p

Yeah, that's probably what it is. Do your reissues have the same speed and pitch as the original Vinyl release? If so, that means the label digitally transposed them to correct the imbalance inherant in Digital recording.

I'm guessing so. I'd need to have the vinyl on hand to compare properly, though.

If they did transpose it, then good for them! They did the right thing.

Every Sex Pistols song meant something, as well as every Clash song.

Eh? Black Leather? Lonely Boy? 1-2 Crush On You? One Emotion?

I was actually very surprised when I heard the CD version of Bedtime For Democracy a few weeks ago - it had a much better sound than the excessively tiny vinyl version I have, but then the vinyl was produced at the height of the whole PMRC shenanigans, so maybe they were scrimping on pressing quality at that point.

Yeah, they must've been.

Those were covers.

Oh no they weren't. The two Pistols songs were, IIRC, credited to Cook and Jones, while thr clash ones were Strummer and Jones.

Well, of the options listed, I voted country, but I prefer punk, classic soul, rock 'n' roll, blues, alternative, nineties dance, world music - stuff like that.

I dig the jazz-

Free Jazz-Eric Dolphy, Ornette Coleman, Pharoah Sanders, Greg Osby, Sex Mob*, World Saxophone Quartet, Phillip Johnston, [edit]good lord, I forgot Art Ensemble of Chicago, Lester Bowie, and SUN RA!!!!!!

Progressive-Branford Marsalis, Chris Potter, Black/Note, Jeff 'Tain' Watts, Tony Williams, Art Blakey...

Funk Jazz-Sex Mob*, Medeski Martin and Wood, The Dirty Dozen Brass Band (I realise they are a second line band, but they also funk-ay), Garage a Trios

Fusion-Mahavishnu Orchestra, Headhunters, Miles Davis (early over later)

Third Stream-Gil Evans (duh), Uri Caine

Legends-Dizzy Gillespie (alright, I just wanted to mention that...), Count Basie (with Lester Young-Pres!), the usual cannon...

Bold are people I have seen live.

Non-Jazz: Cherry Poppin' Daddies, Soul Coughing, They Might Be Giants, Devo, Morphine, Taraf de Haiduks, Kamikaze Ground Crew, Mephiskapholes, Fishbone, Undercover S.K.A., Skankin' Pickle, Bim Ska La Bim, New York Ska Jazz Ensemble, Pink Floyd

A bunch I probably forgot. 20th Century stuff I don't feel like listing right now..

Except Kronos Quartet and Rova Saxophone Quartet big favs...

[edit] forgot the *-Sex Mob is kinda both.

I like good music, not that other crap.

... and many more.

EDIT: people seem to be bolding those they have seen live, so I did

I dig the jazz-

....... Art Ensemble of Chicago, Lester Bowie, and SUN RA!!!!!!
Music just doesn't get better than those three. I once saw Bowie, the Art Ensemble and the Chicago Gospel Band (was that their name? Probably not) live. I don't think my brain has ever been so alive as for that hour and a half.

..... The Dirty Dozen Brass Band (I realise they are a second line band, but they also funk-ay), .....
Did you hear the Phil Alvin album that featured the Dirty Dozens with Sun Ra? Very fine.

.... Pink Floyd .....
In the interests of maintaining my respect for your musical taste, I'll assume you meant Barrett-era Floyd only.

....
Blues Traveler
....
I only ever came across the one single of theirs, which I thought very good. Have they any albums you'd recommend? (Judging by your other choices, your taste seems very sound.)

I could hook you up with some 30-second samples if ya want. I'd like to give everybody a whole song, but seeing as how that's illegal (and frowned upon)...

That's ok, I have a super slow connection, and I'll look into it. :)

Thats how I felt coming home from the Pharoah Sanders concert, and Ornette. I have never had the privilage of seeing the Art Ensemble


Did you hear the Phil Alvin album that featured the Dirty Dozens with Sun Ra? Very fine.
kdjfagroigargoa...Excuse me, I had to get the saliva off my keyboard. The local record store opens in 7 hours....so long to wait.....


In the interests of maintaining my respect for your musical taste, I'll assume you meant Barrett-era Floyd only.
Man, when I saw them they didn't even have Waters...Certainly there is a scale Barrett>Waters>>>Gilmore. I honestly believe they work better together. But it they peal back from phenominal it really only makes them fall to fuckin' good to 'Yeah, I'll go." That is to say the whole is so incredible that the parts outweigh most, which allows me to enjoy all itterations (that being said, I ain't buyin' Division Bell anytime soon.) Such a fan that on my iTunes I have a recording of Nick's cars that I got off an issue of Motorsport.

Hard one. My favourite song is Msimu Kwa Msimu by X Plastaz, but I have so many music tastes, it would be impossible (I meaan pretty time-consuming) to post them all here.

kdjfagroigargoa...Excuse me, I had to get the saliva off my keyboard. The local record store opens in 7 hours....so long to wait.....

It will be listed under Phil Alvin, called, IIRC, 'Unsung Stories'. But it's an eighties release - not sure how available now.


Man, when I saw them they didn't even have Waters...Certainly there is a scale Barrett>Waters>>>Gilmore. I honestly believe they work better together. But it they peal back from phenominal it really only makes them fall to fuckin' good to 'Yeah, I'll go." That is to say the whole is so incredible that the parts outweigh most, which allows me to enjoy all itterations (that being said, I ain't buyin' Division Bell anytime soon.) Such a fan that on my iTunes I have a recording of Nick's cars that I got off an issue of Motorsport.
I dunno, I used to like them heaps back in the day, but now I find them unlistenable, largely because they really should have hired a singer to replace Syd Barrett. Plus there's this oddity that Gilmore was obviously always recorded at the wrong speed. If you listen to his stuff at 45rpm instead of the recommended 33, he's actually quite a reasonable blues guitar player. Odd that they never spotted the error.

But yeah, early Floyd and Barrett's solo albums = prodiguously awesome.

Pink Floyd

...

Husker Du


Is it just me or does The Nile Song off Relics sound uncannily like something off Warehouse Songs And Stories?

I still got sources that work in music, I'm sure someone can track it down.

The only part I would disagree on is that I actually liked the policy of finding the best person for the part, and that the singer wasn't always even part of the band. That sort of 'art above ego' (hard to say that really, with Waters there, but you know what I'm getting at) approach that I kinda respect. Never knew that about Gilmore. I like his playing, though. Not so much his lyric writing, or song writing while not dealing with someone else.

Ah, now I feel like digging around for Piper... (just after I sent the last post a track from the recording of Nick Mason's cars came on, like my iTunes was payin' attention or something. Though now it's playing Dick Dale, so maybe not...)

Oh no they weren't. The two Pistols songs were, IIRC, credited to Cook and Jones, while thr clash ones were Strummer and Jones.

Oh, I heard they were covers. Anyway, the stuff not written for Malcolm's bad taste film meant something.

Although I have seen SOME mention of the pioneers of rock i.e. Zep, Doors,Dan,Clapton,et al.....IMHO, there is much lacking in today's "rock"(I fault the "corporate" radio station industry for this as much today, as I did many years ago!)The exposure of musical virtousity has,unfortunately, given way to what amounts to nothing much more than rehashed drivel!
I've seen Dream Theater mentioned here a few times, and I am saddened that they have been placed in the (merchandising) category that they have been....They are TODAY'S virtuosos, but alas....no airplay or exposure to the general music-listening population! They walk in the footsteps, with giant leaps forward to their predecessors! Groups of the ilk- ELP, Gentle Giant, Jethro Tull,Yes, King Crimson, and those who can not only create the music for distribution, but present it with excitement and ALL the precision live...not only being an inspiration to us musically, but culturally, as well!

Good call. I always wondered what that song was doing on a Floyd record. Clearly it fell through a warp in the space time continuum caused by the sheer intensity of the Husker Du recording session.

Warehouse sounds like a lot of things...

Watched the Wizard of Oz lately? ;)

Watched the Wizard of Oz lately? ;)
Hehe...I have all this video editing gear, I should just make a copy for myself that I can watch without timing it out. Actually, I could fidget with it to make it sync even better....hmmm....(again, after I posted Lester Bowie Brass Band doing Beautiful People by Joy Division(?) came on iTunes...quality)

I envy you ... I used to have that sort of thing going on all the time. I blame my current lack of musical synchronicity on my kids disrupting my natural rythms. Not the relative quantities of drugs being consumed then and now. Nope, not that, that couldn't be doing it. That would mean drugs could have been messing with my perceptions of reality, and that would be silly.

Anywho, it's a glorious spring day over here, so my kids and I are off to the local park to chase some deer. Catch you later.

One of these bands in not like the others
One of these bands just doesn't belong
Can you guess which one is not like the others
By the time I finish my song

Me First & The Gimme Gimmes...
Aside from the name cracking me the hell up, I like this groups 'thing,' the covers of odd songs like the theme to the Neverending Story. Thats just great.

I mainly like most kinds of non-mainstream (ie not disco music with annoying and cheesy lyrics - the less text the better, since then the focus is on the music itself, which is what I want to hear) techno and trance, especially psychedelic techno.

metalhead here, but also into classic rock, chilled out rock, stoner rock, stoner music in general (woo cypress hill :D ), nu-metal is ok, will listen to basically anything that rocks. would also like to get into jazz.


bands (no order): metallica, megadeth, anthrax, sepultura, testament, bolt thrower, deftones, koRn, Yesca, cypress hill, zeplin, alice cooper, blind guardian, pitchshifter, the prodigy, joe satriani, steve vai, malmsteem (a bit), S.O.D., slayer, steppenwolf, tenacious D, the Alex Scholnick Trio, whitesnake, zz top (rock!), AC/DC, simon & garfunkel, ozzy, sabbath, pantera, napalm death, morbid angel, crowbar, machine head, Kittie, Kingdom Come, Bon Jovi, Priest, Hendrix, Maiden, Iced Earth, Hammerfall, God Forbid (seeing em again Sunday!!), Exodus, Heathen, Clapton, Europe, Extreme, Dream Theatre, Dragonforce, Disturbed, Biohazard, Aerosmith.

Bah!

Your answer is incorrect. The correct answer is...

http://www.fd.appstate.edu/muffoletto/projects/webclass/mode/kyuss_band.jpg

Music?
I listen to fucking everything.
Jazz to gabba to industrial to metal to punk to indie, with almost everything inbetween covered too.

This week the stuff I'm listening to most are the Ramones, Bad Brains, Killswitch Engage, Elliot Smith, Black Flag, the Dillinger Escape Plan, Jynx, Muslimgauze, Secret Machines, the Deftones, and Agathocles.

For an example of my taste in music the last four songs I have listened to:

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - "All for Swinging You Around"
Stevie Wonder - "Sir Duke"
Muse - "Cave"

and presently Michael Jackson - "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)"

I want to love you,
*PYT*
Pretty young thing.


I am feeling a little schizophrenic tonight.

Latino.

It just seems that Spanish is a more musical language.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - "All for Swinging You Around"


The Yeah Yeah Yeahs covered The New Pornographers?

Well, they are the best band in the world....no, wait...the best cover band in the world.

Daft Punk

I like some techno... especially if I am DDRing ^^

I like a lot of alternative music...

Some metal...

I haven't really listened to music for a while, but my last obsessions were The Cure and Muse.
