''I can remember going to those concerts and seeing all those hippies being far out and together, maaaaan, despising me because I was about twenty tears younger than they were and having short hair. That's when I saw through their bullshit. A lot of punks are like that as well, which makes me really sick.'' - John Lydon

I think that's retro pop, maybe???

Or internet irritation? :p

I like almost everything, considering the mood I'm in. Except rap.
I like Metallica and Judas Priest. The next day I'm listening to Pavorotti or the soundtracks to Braveheart or The Good the Bad and the Ugly. Then Type O Negative. then Metallica played on a cello or with a symphony orchestra.
This may be gounds for being commited.

My Fav's Rock, somewhere on the punk-ska continuum
Favorite inside: Sublime
Favorite outside: The Replacements

(Unusual combination? Bah! Joni Mitchell & Notorious B.I.G. are both in my top ten list. Figure that one out.)

Genre-I'm going to say 20th Century in a broader sense then it's applied to 'classical' (there, I put it quotes so we all know that Classical can only refer to one period but we can also understand it to encompass compositional/legitimate/whatever else you want to call it....dammit...). In the sense I'm applying (provided anyone is still with me here) is atonal, dissonate, modal etc. music (not always composed in the 20th Century) that fits in both 'classical' (steady...), Jazz, whatever...

Artist-Difficult. Kronos Quartet is pretty reliable in 'classical' (easy...), Eric Dolphy in jazz (with Ornette Coleman, World Saxophone Quartet, Pharoah Sanders, on and on...) Soul Coughing in rock, I guess...

Outside of that-Cherry Poppin' Daddies...leave me alone....

I listen to some of the old 80's new wave. Also listen to the 90's grunge. reminds me of home. Favorite band is either Nirvana and or the Smiths.

Favorite kind: Christian metal. The heavier the better.

Christian metal? I'm so sorry, I can't help it, I have to make fun of that concept.

*Wild banging on drums, cool guitar lick, lead singer suddenly screams like a metal head* "IIIIIIIIIIII LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE GOOOOOOOOD!!!" *cool guitar finish, everyone smashes instruments.*

You've gotta hear it. It's even more ridiculous than that, with the subliminal messages they have.

The only Christian metal bands I know of are Norma Jean and Zao(assuming we're counting metalcore under metal. if not, I don't know of a one.).
Actually, Zao is pretty good.

Genre: Hard Rock
Favorite artist inside: The Smashing Pumpkins
Favorite artist outside: Björk


Favorite artist outside: It would have to be some of the classical composers
If you can't even name the artist, I have a hard time believing that they are in any way your favourite.

Fav band - Neo classicalism : Oh, Dream Theatre, Malmsteen, Satriani. No one in particular really, just that kind of thing.

Dream Theater aren't neo-classical and Satriani certainly isn't. His music is heavily blues-based.

My favorite genre is Metal in all it's forms.
Favorite artist inside: My Chemical Romance, Slayer, Edguy, Rhapsody
Favorite artist outside: Lamb of God, Edguy, Luca Turilli, Iced Earth
lol, so you like metal and ....metal?! :lol:

:headbang:
Duh???? Why is it every forum/noticeboard etc has got one of thes themes on it?? Wherever you go on the net; "favourite band" (of all time), "bestest music" "bestest album" and so on and so on and so on.
Oh alright: glitch, power electronics, gabba, jungle, IDM.
Best gig this year: Matmos at the Queen Lizzy Hall, London.
Supports were Zeena Parkins/Ikue Mori and Charlemagne Palestine. Favourite albums currently: Making Orange things- Venetian Snares & Speedranch, The New Venetian Snares one (forgotten its long name), Bastard Sonz of Rave- Hellfish and Producer, A Burned Mind- Wolf Eyes, Who Still Sound-Kid 606, Scott Joplin's Piano Rags-Hunting Lodge to name but a few (damn it's a compulsive thread)

One other genre thats pretty awsome is avant-garde, with artists like Glen Branca. This guy invented a thing called a mallet guitar, a guitar wired up to xylophones. He also staged a thing called symphony for 100 guitars in times square, 100 guitars all restrung to the same gauge and all strings tuned to C i think. The sound is incredable.

Oh alright: glitch, power electronics, gabba, jungle, IDM.
Cool stuff.
I have to say, I've never met a person aside from myself that listened to power electronics.
