I did a rock thread earlier, but this time I want to branch out to all music.

What do you listen to? Who are your favorite artists/bands? What are you top 10 albums of all time? Do you prefer CD, Cassette, 8-Track or good old Vinyl? Do you have a massive record collection? Or are you just really starting to get into music and need help finding out some good bands? Who are the greats? and who just plain sucks.

Discuss it all here.



I basically listen to all things rock, some good old new wave, metal, blues, old-school rap, and just about anything but country.



I was listening to "The Name of This Band is Talking Heads" and it inspired me to create this thread.

Well, I'm starting to find my inner hippie with a bunch of sixties bands I've started listening to.

And of course, I still listen to Led Zeppelin, Rush, Queen, The Who, and all of them. I don't have a top ten album list, but number one is definitely Physical Graffiti.

I can honestly say that Cutless is pure crap. (All my Christian friends "Ohhh, yeah, they're the greatest!" pfft)

In fact, right now I'm listening to a non-crappy band, White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane. Most of my music is on the computer.

Oh, and I despise rap.

any artists in particular?

The Rover, and Down by the Seaside are my favorite tracks from PG. I must say I do not have a favorite Zeppelin Album, unless you count their BBC Sessions, that compliation is pure, raw, unfiltered Zeppelin. BBC Sessions is the only Zeppelin album that I will listen to every time like it is my first time.

I have never heard of them.

I loved Airplane, but they lost their edge when they became starship.


Oh, and I despise rap.

I liked rap from the 80s but thats about it unless you count Public Enemy of the 90s.

Grand Funk Railroad. I have no idea as to why, but I just started listening to them one day.

And your assortment of new stuff, rap, rock, hip-hop, jazz, R&B, no pop or country, though.

Hendrix, The Who, some 80s-90 hip hop and other stuff.

Grand Funk Railroad. I have no idea as to why, but I just started listening to them one day.



The same goes for me and the Talking Heads, one day while at work I turned on the bosses computer and opened his WMP and just clicked on a random song while cleaning up. And it was Talking Heads "Stop Making Sense" album. Psycho Killer was the song, from the first note, I was hooked.

GFR is awesome BTW.

These days I'm listening to Christmas music. I'm not Christian, but I love the music, especially things like O Come, O Come, Emmanuel and Bring a Torch Jeannette, Isabella

Right now I'm listening to Chiron Beta Prime by Jonathan Coulton. Very..um..different Christmas song.

At this very moment: Lo Fidelity All-Stars.

Next on the playlist: Billy Idol. Mussorgsky. Ministry. Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack. James Bond theme songs ("Thunderball" is up next).

I've got eclectic tastes. This is the playlist I made for writing certain kinds of novel scenes.

Excellent playlist there. From James Bond theme songs to Ministry, now that is a list.


I was unaware that Pirates Of The Carribean has a soundtrack. It must be amazing.

It's nautical-y. Not bad. I'm writing a story with nautical scenes, so I like to play it while working on those.

Music is always a great source for inspiration.

well if you happened to see one smug looking gangster jamming away it was me listening to the Budos Band (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=vXe48Yiyyyg&feature=related) :)

oh and I also found a stash of old music I'd forgot about (from the summer I left school apparently (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=oatv4QYRtV0))

Lately? Been listening to Jefferson Airplane, Faith No More, Mr Bungle, Kyuss.

I'm also getting into the Grateful Dead who are significantly folksier and softer than I imagined them, and the Melvins. I downloaded the Buffalo Springfield discography, which admittedly I didn't like at first, but now I like quite a lot. Always been a big fan of Crosby, Stills and Nash, and Neil Young as a solo artist.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor is quite good, and I love the whole grating moving in and out for thirty minutes thing.

Johnny Cash's American IV: The Man Comes Around is a great album, is that classed as county? On the rap-side, I have listened to a little Wu-tang in the pass, and N.W.A.'s Straight Outta Compton.

Some good old Zeppelin as always, and Mark Lanegan Band is nice, if a bit soft. Studied Easy Rider this year, and I love the sound track which had some Dylan covers, by the Byrds, so I "obtained" that album. Loving it.

Whatever is on the radio when I have no choice, since my home music is being held hostage.

Velvet Underground
The Kinks
Kevin Ayers
Early Pink Floyd
Astrud Gilberto
Country Joe and the Fish
Stax Soul (Mable 'yes like table' John (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=bAG1wLW7cts))

Today/tonight:


Disney's Nightmare Revisited (http://www.amazon.com/Nightmare-Revisited/dp/B001AUKV08) (various artists)


The Grateful Dead, Grateful Dead (Skull & Roses)[LIVE] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00007LTIM)


Nirvana, With the Lights Out (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00065XJ4S)


The Clash, Combat Rock (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00004C4L3)

I generally listen to music with female vocals, a steady (and generally fast) beat, and plenty of texture. That includes a bunch of genres, though it generally excludes rap, r&b, and hip hop.

I've got really into mindless indie crap lately: Headlights, Stars, Frou Frou, Rilo Kiley, Ratatat, Seabear, The Shins, The Submarines, The Unicorns.

Elsewhere I made a - now slightly out of date - 'top 10 of 2008':

Chumbawamba - The Boy Bands Have Won
Drive-By Truckers - Brighter Than Creation's Dark
Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes
Hot Chip - Made in the Dark
Aimee Mann - @#%&*! Smilers
Mogwai - The Hawk is Howling
Portishead - Third
The Rolling Stones - Shine a Light
Sigur Rós - Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust
Southern Tenant Folk Union - Revivals, Rituals & Union Songs

That was before Cardinology came out, and I think I'd add in Some Racing, Some Stopping, and on reflection I might have added in Ray LaMontagne's Gossip in the Grain, School of Seven Bells's Alpinisms, Okkervil River's The Stand-Ins, and definitely Van She's V.

Format wise? I have about a hundred vinyls, but for convenience sakes I mostly listen to MP3s.

Well, I listen to a bit of everything but my favorite music is upbeat Indie rock.

At the moment my favorite artist is Jack Conte, though if anyone is really that interested in the music I listen to, here's a link to my last.fm page (http://www.last.fm/user/Ashleydenee).

currently i'm going through a bit of a metal phase, listening to Lamb of God, Arsis, In Flames, Testament... mostly on napster and on cd in the car

last month i was in a bit of a mood for blues and classic rock, listening to old vinyl for the fun of it

I have been going through a metal phase myself, consisting mostly of Megadeth, Mercyful Fate, Iron Maiden, Exodus, and some old Celtic Frost.

Last month for me was Robert Johnson, Led Zeppelin, and Les Claypool's Frog Brigade covering animals.

I just returned from a medieval/Renaissance music vocal concert; "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" was one of the songs. It was fabulous, the entire concert was.
So I guess to answer the OP, for the past twenty minutes I've been listening to that type of music on YouTube. I still wholeheartedly support the Talking Heads, though. A dream of mine is to become a motivational speaker and just recite "Once In A Lifetime" as a speech, see if anyone notices.

Have you guys heard this? Apparently this guy is like a modern Mozart. He was writing symphonies when he was like 3 or 4 years old.

It's amazing. Really just the best new artist in like a century.

Metal and indie as ever. Currently on a Amon Amarth buzz....

I'm listening to a fair bit of Prog Rock, mostly Alan Parsons Projecy since I picked up all of the remasters. Some '80's and '90's rock, some Queen, and I've recently been getting into Linkin Park.

This is the playlist I made for writing certain kinds of novel scenes.
Did you make mention of this venture elsewhere on NSG?
My interest is ... again ... piquing with you.
http://www.websmileys.com/sm/cool/cool29.gif

My list hasn't gotten any stranger.
I'm basically doing Pandora's Herbie Hancock-esque jazz collection, along with Andy Summers, Eric Serra, John Petrucci, Aphex Twin, Captain Beefheart, Adrian Legg, The Platters/Sam Cooke, Thomas Newman, Front Line Assembly and my litany of practice discs that sponsor so many different artists it really isn't worth the text to go on about it.
I've done as much on prior threads. :)

MSI, Angel Witch, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Arsis, Mad Sin, Rush, Nim Vind, la-dee-dah.

Also watching lots of delicious Tobacco videos (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8x36K-Obtck).

Same as always - Miss Amanda F. Palmer, and anything she gets up to. On my shiny new MP3 player there are also two EPs by Emma Dean, In the Aeroplane over the Sea and one album by The Streets.

Right now I'm listening to Chiron Beta Prime by Jonathan Coulton. Very..um..different Christmas song.

You do have taste! Awesome song!

I am listening atm to tocotronic. but this day, I also listened to a lot of TenGooz and Freibeuter AG. My latest discovery is bilk.

So you thought, that I didn't have taste before you saw that? Thanks a lot. :rolleyes:

Still video game music.

Right now, this very second, I've got the new Killers album on. Some of it is very Talking Heads-esque. Not bad.

However, these days I'm generally listening to much the same: post-rock, instrumental metal, electronica, etc. Have recently got into a bit of hip-hop, especially cLOUDDEAD, RJD2 and Dälek.

I saw my brother listening RJD2 from Youtube. I asked what it was but he didn't answer.

What I'm listening to at the moment is The Offspring's new album: Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace. And I am also got the Ministry of Sound 2009 Annual been played at the moment.

Same as always - Miss Amanda F. Palmer, and anything she gets up to. On my shiny new MP3 player there are also two EPs by Emma Dean, In the Aeroplane over the Sea and one album by The Streets.

Amanda Palmer here as well, along with Tom Waits, Nick Cave, and The Clockwork Dolls.

I'm mostly on a melancholy phase, really. Lots of good singing about sad things.

Currently I'm listening to Handel's Messiah.

A lot of reggae for some reason.

Grounds For Divorce - Elbow (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=iL4mywCOJXA)

One Day Like This - Elbow (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=hooPU2mdsH4)

I've actually fallen in love with this band. I'm hoping I get tickets to see them live with the BBC Orchestra. That would be brilliant.

Talons - Bloc Party (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=l1p7Wm_9vM4)

However I must always mention my favourite band, Bloc Party.

Metal and indie as ever. Currently on a Amon Amarth buzz....


Amon Amarth? I Have never heard of them...care to send me a link to something of theirs?

I am always open to new music.

Two bands I'm really into at the moment are volcano! (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=1MJEjwGdDSQ) and Darc Mind (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=HwP9CN9TA4s).

Both are gems.

When it comes to blues I pretty much listen to Robert Johnson, and Howlin' Wolf.

Who is everyone else's favorite blues musician?

The Grateful Dead, Grateful Dead (Skull & Roses)[LIVE] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00007LTIM)


You would listen to Grateful Dead, hippy:p

Lately:


Enslaved- Eld and Vikingligr Veldi
Watain - Casus Luciferi
Azaghal - Helvetin Yhdeksän Piiriä (or The Nine Circles of Hell)
Sargeist - Satanic Black Devotion

Lately for me it's been


Talking Heads - The Name Of This Band Is Talking Heads [Live]
Slayer - Decade of Agression [Live]
Les Claypool's Frog Brigade - Live Frogs
Led Zeppelin - The BBC Sessions


I have been into live albums lately, I don't know why.

I like your choices, but would also add Bukka White and Blind Willie McTell

I don't believe I have heard of Bukka White....then again I just started getting into blues music. Have any links or anything?

For bluesy stuff, it's Tom Waits, of course. Probably not true blues, but has that feel (along with quite a lot of others). Very very good

A lot of Pentangle, The Pogues, Bathory and the Beatles.

this week i'm still on a Lamb of God stint, but i've been having a good look round for heavy metal xmas music... i've actually found a load, lol - i'll share the list later :p

Lots of French electro/electroclash. Lots of folktronica, folk revival, roma, bluegrass.

i don't know Mercyful Fate, but the rest rock... especially the last two. i kinda went off Megadeth a few years ago, largely due to some friends of mine listening to them to death :(

Good old TSO, the best in metal christmas music.

Heh. Have you heard "The Piano Has Been Drinking"?

Of course. My other all time favorite Tom Waits song.

Mozart

Presence - Led Zeppelin.

As a good, loyal citizen of Zepland, I listen to Led Zeppelin. Anpu frowns on people who don't listen to Led Zeppelin. All of Zepland frowns on those thta don't listen to Zeppelin. I have the box set with all nine albums and every song they ever released, which makes Zepland happy.

I just borrowed Iron Maiden: Visions of the Beast on DVD, and it kicks ass.

The bit on the Iron Maiden Soccer team is just too much.

At the absolute present moment, ELM by Pierre Bensusan. The song before that was Land of Shame by VAST. Next up is The Great Below by NIN.

Wow. That's all I can say.

i think my g/f won't like a rockin' christmas... she prefers traditional xmas music, so it looks like my list is probably not going to be played :(

ah well

i think my g/f won't like a rockin' christmas... she prefers traditional xmas music, so it looks like my list is probably not going to be played :(

ah well

It's the same here as well, but we can always play our kick ass music here.

As I'm back at home over Christmas, I'm currently digging back into the awful nu-metal collection from my teenage years, just for lulz. Aside from that I'm listening to the stuff I usually mention, Unexpect, Sigh, Between the Buried and Me, Genghis Tron, and Volbeat.

i think my g/f won't like a rockin' christmas... she prefers traditional xmas music, so it looks like my list is probably not going to be played :(

ah well

Ha, a few days ago I burnt a copy of a Twisted Christmas and stuck it in the CD changer that my mom had stuffed full of traditional Christmas music. It was rather entertaining.

It's the same here as well, but we can always play our kick ass music here.
i think i might put the playlist on while she's not here... and maybe in my car, too :P
Ha, a few days ago I burnt a copy of a Twisted Christmas and stuck it in the CD changer that my mom had stuffed full of traditional Christmas music. It was rather entertaining.

lol, that's awesome! :D

Korn
Tool
SOAD
Slipnot
Godsmack

I just spent the last hour listening to 10 different versions of 'hallelujah'.

The Leonard Cohen version is hilariously crooning, but the best really is KD Lang at the Sydney Royal Opera house (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UlZZbVyJtY) (IMHO etc etc)

All prompted by the abortion of a version by the winner of X-Factor being Xmas number 1 in the UK. I had to cleanse myself by finding a better rendition.

Venom just came on. I figured that was worthwhile enough that the whole of NSG should know.

#1 Rush or Pink Floyd. Genre: Electro or Heavy Metal. Top ten albums. Moving Pictures - Rush. 2. Face Value - Phil Collins. 3. Discovery - Daft Punk. 4. obzen - Meshuggah. 5. Dark side of the moon - Pink Floyd. 6. The Wall - Pink Floyd. 7. Just Be - (DJ) Tiesto. 8. Live at Pompeii - Pink Floyd. 9. Permanent Waves - Rush. 10. Hypnotize - System of a Down. That is roughly what I think are the best en albums. ATM

Korn

SOAD
Slipnot

All good stuff. May I suggest Meshuggah if you like Slipknot. Very good stuff Heavy Metal typeish.

Metal and indie as ever. Currently on a Amon Amarth buzz....

According to Last.Fm...and thats just the top 28 for the past Six Months....

This reads awfully close to what I listened to a couple of years ago, though thankfully I've refined mine. No offense to you, of course. :tongue:

Black Sabbath, mostly. The Paranoid album. I usually just put my Winamp on shuffle. Other artists: Budgie, AC/DC, Motorhead, Metallica, and some other metallers. I've actually been listening to the Animals recently, cause I got into them from "House of the Rising Sun" and just took off from there. And my friend literally JUST (as in 3 minutes ago) got me an Animals compilation (The Singles +).

Yeah, I absolutely adore their songs, and I'm not a rock fan.
