I only listen to good music, well some not so good and some terrible, but it's all music.

Uh, the nation of Ilie tends to prefer 80s new wave and 90s ironic top 40. With a sprinkling of nerd rock throughout.

I only listen to good music, well some not so good and some terrible, but it's all music. well...what's your concept of good music?

My nations national anthem is - Beat'em by System

I don't think i have to say anymore...

In the Kingdom Of Pwnageeeee we listen to Red Light District! :cool:

well...what's your concept of good music?

It changes on a daily basis, I like AC/DC when I am in one kind of mood, and then I like Scissor Sisters another time, then I might like the Eagles or something loud and hairy, I have VERY eclectic taste, I have no favourite.

i listen to mainly to post-rock, electronica/indietronica, some psychedelic folk, some experimental music wich doesn't really fit into a genre and more recently i also started listening to electronic dance music,( but not the really popular kind).

PS: this forum isn't for roleplaying, you shouldn't pretend you're a head of state or something.

The national anthem of H N Fiddlebottoms VIII is "Rich, White & Republican" by Root Boy Slim.
That is, except for a brief time in 2006 when it was "Love Is My Religion" by Ziggy Marley, but nobody talks about that dark, dark time.

The supreme dictator of Snafturi has banned music in all forms.

Currently, I'm indulging myself with The Who and Pink Floyd.

only good music

The national anthems of Calizorinstan (yes two) are "House of the Rising Sun" by Cream and "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple, the people mostly listen to rock, and hard rock, and some heavy metal.

anything that's good.

The citizens of Pompous World are condemned to endure the sounds of human suffering every day, blared out on mega phones placed everywhere in the state which is now underground following random nuclear testing by the goverment. In short no one can escape the screaming and crying. But there is variety. It is punctuated by music from Garth Brooks and Westlife, followed by Government announcements telling them that they are living in a new age of unfathomable darkness while glorifying their leader as a god among mortals. The citizens of pompous world are given jobs, they cannot choose and live in dank hideous underground caverns made from blackest basalt, as the mole people

I don't like this noob, he's reminding me of the fact that there's a game attached to these forums.

Regina Spektor bribed me, so now I make my people listen to her.

.. except I have banned the song "Us" for safety.

And who the hell made a thread about "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" a few months ago? That damn song has been stuck in my head all day.

and elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume.

'nough said?

I only listen to Disney soundtracks, lullabies and Christmas songs.

The nation of Zarakon listens to Mongolian Throat-Singing.

Yes, it exists.

Radio 2.

I don't know. But thrash metal is played in Utracia's elevators so maybe my citizens prefer that.

Actually, almost assuredly not. Nobody likes what's played in elevators.

Actually, almost assuredly not. Nobody likes what's played in elevators.

But the entire point was to change the standard "elevator music" to something that people want to listen to. Utracia's youth had spoken after all, they want their devil music. :)

Yeah, but they'll immediately begin hating it, since it's played in elevators. Soon they'll be headbanging to elevator music.

Now THAT is a scary thought. If I had to listen to "traditional" elevator music on the street I might lose my mind. :eek:

*rushes to switch music back before disaster strikes*

They listen to thrash metal songs played with banjos instead of guitars.

Pretty much anything except 'emo/screamo/rap.'

Listening to music is like eating candy: You take in the pleasureable ones to be happier, and toss out the rappers.

*Ba-dum-pish*

They listen to thrash metal songs played with banjos instead of guitars.

I demand that someone do this.

Actually, I've been thinking about the concept of an Electric Banjo for some time now...

Hillbillies trying to get jamming skills? Sounds really spooky.

'60s and '70s classic rock and folk pop/rock are the most popular music genres in Maineiacs.

You know, behind these silly nation names, there's a person. I like all sorts of music.

Well, alright! I'll have to schedule something for next month.

Ahem.

*runs screaming, psychologically damaged*

The CISR has representatives from all sorts of music on it's radio, largely leaning towards generic rock and pop, with some hip-hip. Underground there's everything imaginable, currently spazzcore and kittenviolence are important within the punk/hardcore scene.

Personally I listen to emo(not emptiveemo though), grindcore(not lame scenegrind though), hardcore, industrial, gabber and only the most kvlt, grim, tr00est, necro black metal.

The people of Sominium Effectus listen to soft pop music ala Josh Groban.

Little do they know it's part of my evil plot to keep them docile while I keep all the good music for myself! bwawhahahahaa

Folk rock is a favourite of mine at the minute, Runrig particularly.

Well, alright! I'll have to schedule something for next month.



*runs screaming, psychologically damaged*

Right now would be a good time, right at the start of the Summer Tourism Season.

The loyally opposed have been known to give a "thumbs up" to the following artists on their favorite internet radio service:

Leaves' Eyes
Juno Reactor
Dead Can Dance
Blue Man Group
Afro Celt Sound System
Within Temptation
Trance Mission
Airto
Lisa Gerrard & Patrick Cassidy

Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Einstürzende Neubauten

Music that successfully incorporates multiple genres or ethnic/world regional styles, while emphasizing or employing primarily, although not necessarily exclusively, traditional or non-conventional instrumentation (i.e. those not requiring electrical cords) is especially appreciated. The "World" or "International" section of the local purveyor of musical media is especially popular.

Recently, an Athiestan studio released an album comprised exclusively of MTAE quotes dubbed over generic house-rave tracks.

:headbang:

Lately:

Pulp
Jarvis Cocker
The Smiths
Morrissey
The Police
The Kinks
Bob Dylan
Talking Heads
Billy Bragg
Saul Williams

Not necessarily in that order.

In MrMopar, we worship the Holy Quad...rity? Quadrophenia?

Of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who and The Kinks. *nods*

Depends on what we like though mostly 80's pop, some metal, trance,techno,rave, as well as most parody songs

Celene Dion takes the place of religion for some Neo Undelians.

The unrestrained capatalist economics and the anarchic politics of the Anarchist "Paradise" of Kinda Sensible people have led to the rise of a corrupt music industry (golly, when has that happened before). Payolla means that a single, uber-rich band is the only band to ever be played on the radio or sold in stores. Therefore, all Kinda Sensible folks listen to a band called the Kinda Sensible band. Imagination being unecessary in a state ruled by corrupt record labels. The Kinda Sensible band plays Pop/Polka/Thrash Metal/Free Jazz.

Unless you're talking about about my musical tastes, which should be well enough published for you to know. Everyone knows that I like Gangsta-Rap, Pop, and Pop-Punk.

Metal. All types of metal.

People in HGTV Watchers are all National Socialists and we all listen to National Socialist Black Metal.

National Socialist Black Metal=Nazi Music

You win the thread. :D

In Rhursbourg they Mostly listen to sea shanties

Radio 2.
Why does that not surprise me? :p

Usual music tastes in I V Stalin (or 'Ivvy', as it's known by some of the more undesirable elements of society) range from metal to whatever I tell them to listen to. Currently, public loudspeakers are playing all the songs entered in the Eurovision Song Contest on a loop.

Cinema, Rock 'n Roll (50's), Classical, 40's, and Swing-Style Jazz.

Rock.

Also, NSG is OOC, your country does not exist here for all that matters. *slaps with fish*

I listen to a variety of things but primarly metal and punk.

Right now would be a good time, right at the start of the Summer Tourism Season.

Good list. Entertainment guaranteed!

*bobs head to music of "More Than A Feeling"*

Harlesburg listens to the musical stylings of Wagner predominatly and most forms of other music and bans Jazz.

The militaristic Mirkanans enjoy rock and roll, especially stuff that gets you pumped up and angry. References to battle and violence are popular. In fact, most Mirkanan military vehicles have simple media systems installed, so the troops can get themselves in the right mood for battle.

Currently, "Frontline" by Pillar, is Mirkana's #1 favorite song, especially among infantrymen.

Recently, a new breed of homegrown music has shown up - "tank metal". Originating in the armored divisions, tank metal is militaristic metal, and is traditionally recorded inside a tank. Most tank metal bands are tank crews, and some units sponsor 'sound-offs' between rival bands.

Slower music is less popular, with the blues almost nonexistant.

By order of the Mirkanan High Command, this thread is to be resurrected!

Epic Gravedig.

Skarland listens to all sorts of progressive rock..

*Pink Floyd
*Porcupine Tree
*Dream THeater
*Rush
*Spock's Beard
*Vanden Plas
*Riverside

Based on my past statements, I think the Letilans mostly listen to classic rock and folk music, with various left wing anthems and punk hits thrown in for good measure.

The Democratic Empire of New Manvir primarily listens to:

2pac
Notorious B.I.G
Rage Against the Machine
Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Nirvana

The current songs getting the most radio time in Zarakon are (Zarakonian radio doesn't limit itself to singles, of course. That would be lame.):

1. Raining Blood ~ Slayer
2. When All Is Said And Done ~ Napalm Death
3. Don't Say A Word ~ Sonata Arctica
4. Guerilla Radio ~ Rage Against the Machine
5. Darkness Surronding ~ Avenged Sevenfold
6. Jesus Christ Homosexual ~ Corporate Avenger
7. Disciple ~ Slayer
8. Killers ~ Iron Maiden
9. N.I.B. ~ Black Sabbath
10. We're Only Gonna Die ~ Bad Religion

The citizens of tbc are currently enjoying "Rumour" by You Me at Six, and "How soon is now?" by The Smiths.

In Dobbsworld we listen to the Universe expanding.

Hope you have big speakers.

In Dobbsworld we listen to the Universe expanding.

Good old style Heavy Metal. Ya know, Judas Priest, Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath (Especially with Ozzy and Ronnie James Dio), Metallica, etc. Then a good healthy dosage of 80s hair bands, Motley Crue, Ratt, Winger, etc. And finally, some hard core Grunge: Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Sound Garden, stuff like that.

Music is very appreciated in Zwangzug. Prominent pop musicians include Benny Angle (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Benny_Angle) and Red Knight (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Red_Knight). More "edgy" rock bands include Hell's Irate Puppies and The Destroyinators. Rock opera, like all music with "plot-based" lyrics, is perhaps the most popular genre. Classical/instrumental music is also widely valued.

The most popular Rejistanian music is kaneka. Other styles are also influenced by the traditional harmonies and melodies. International influences have led to the rise of a capella music. It might be notable that the rejistani copyright laws are very unrestricting and filesharing is legal (Rejistanis often joke to foreigners that the only copy protection is Konihekta, the state-owned ISP). This leads to the fact that many international record companies do not offer their music in the 'tani'

in Durki Durkistan we listen to punk, rockabilly, celtic, metal, and hardore. we rock.

Our national band, by popular vote, is The Polyphonic Spree (of which our Chancellor is eager to get their new CD tomorrow). But coming in a close second is the Butthole Surfers, followed by Primus, The Beatles and Regina Spektor.

The Rolling Stones recently made a stop on their twenty third farewell tour in our nation, and it had the biggest turnout in concert history, so I think that they are the top band in our nation.

We in Schnorraplatz listen to everything from Mozart to The Sex Pistols.

Even opera and show tunes have their advocates, although they are few in number.

Our citizens enjoy going to concerts to the nth degree.

Our Minister of Culture, Blan Gurnston, extends an open invitation to bands across the world to come play at the Downtown Performance Center in our beautiful capital city of Platzenschnorr.

All interested artists should send a telegram c/o Mr. Gurnston.

Thank you for your time and consideration

Telegrame to Mr. Gurnston:

Dear Mr. Gurnston

We would like to perform at your perfomance center. Our tank metal band, made up of members of the 134th Mirkanan Armored Battalion, has just released our fourth album, "Shell Shock", and we have recieved several music awards for it.

Just to warn you, we will be bringing a few tanks with us, and we will be firing blank rounds during the performance. We will need to consult with your staff on safety - we are tankers, and we know how to handle our weapons.

Sincerely,

The Steel Treads

The entire population of Whalepuddingistan mainly listens to metal, but also some classic rock, metalcore, nu metal, punk, grunge, and prog, and a few rockabilly, folk, blues, modern rock, gothic rock, and classical artists here and there.

The entire population of Whalepuddingistan have recently been listening to a lot of Falkenbach, Strapping Young Lad, Vintersorg, Therion, Graveland, Gorguts, Godsmack, Iced Earth, Carcass, Soilwork, Sisters Of Mercy, Thin Lizzy, Within Temptation, Santana, Overkill, Nevermore, Megadeth, Darkthrone, Beneath The Massacre, Edguy, Goatwhore, and Electric Wizard. :D

The Empire mainly listens to rock, rap, hip hop, pop, classic rock, classical but are also great jazz and latin music fans. Alternatively, any music classed as 'emo', overly depressing, metal and a few others types are banned.

The people of Lucuasia listen to everything, but they all hold a special place in their heart for the music of the Whales. The whale songs are sold like crazy here.:p

our people listen to pretty much whatever they want. though current favorites are Classical,70's,80's,some 90's trance,dance,techno,rave,parody,some metal, and various anime theme songs:p

But of course, there is a hodge podge of other punk associated acts (At The Drive-In / Fugazi / Drive Like Jehu / Saves The Day / The Dismemberment Plan / Hot Water Music). Even though they arent very closely related to punk, one of the nations favorite musical acts is Thursday.

In Psychedelic Euphoria, we listen to alternative rock, grunge, trip-hop..and, of course, sublime&bob marley:p

Classical, mittlealter, and industrial styles are all extremely popular in Mikitivity. On NSWiki there is an article "Death Key" that really is a stub to talk about the local industrial genre. There also is a stub about the "Miervatia Gewandhaus" which is planned to really be developed into an extensive set of articles covering local classical musicians and composers.

In Soviet Russia, music listens to you!

Placebians listen to a diverse array of music; particularly popular bands/artists include Placebo (of course), Indochine, Sonic Youth and PJ Harvey. Rumours abound as well of weekend "disco parties" involving the likes of Blondie, Bee Gees, Barry White, and staggering amounts of ABBA. :eek:
