Music

My last attempt at discussion in here turned out to be a little too controversial. Hopefully this one will leave things in much finer fettle

What kind of music are you most partial to? (Just about everyone says they like all kinds of music, but typically prefer one style over another). In addition, list a few of the bands you like.

Me, I am most partial to hardcore/screamo type stuff.
Examples: Spirit of Versailles, Taken, Saetia, Orchid, City of Caterpillar, and Usurp Synapse.

Your turn.

NOTE: Don't comment on or criticize others' music, please. Just post your list and take up any comments in a PM. Thanks

S.E.N.S.

Well, I like some of the heavy metal music. Metallica for example. I also like Linkin park, and I've been listening to Nightwish lately.
Also, for the last few days I've been listening to the Lord of the Rings movie soundtracks as I work. I like John Williams music, and some classical as well.

My taste for music generally fits into 4 categories:

> Chillout
> Goa
> Metal/Rock
> Misc

My favorite bands/groups/projects always have a unique sound to them, especially in their vocals.

Chillout
Anything to relax to, from reggae to psy ambient, trip hop to a little jazz.

Goa
My most recent fav genre, my favorites cover mostly the most "organic" projects I know. Don't like the more trancy stuff. The use of highly distorted electric guitars or sound samples quoting famous influences on culture or psychedelics is the win.

I listen mostly to creative metal- not particularly into more hardcore forms, but I find that metal has more room for experimentation than almost any other genre. My favorites:

Blind Guardian
Sieges Even
Ayreon
Pain of Salvation
Saurom
Devil Doll
Haggard
Manticora
Thy Majestie

...in no particular order.

I'm open to scores coming from a wide range of genres from classical to 'not too soft' electronic music, but my main preference is definitely along the rock-metal line.

I listen to ska, Irish punk, and gypsy punk, though I wouldn't refuse a little reggae or Dream Theater ormaybe that sweet "Dub Side of the Moon" reggae cover of the entire album. Mostly I just listen to ska though.

I am outside the obvious norm here, as heavy metal and rock are not for me. I prefer something with a good dance beat. Anything in the techno department is also good.

I am also taken to songs that are just generally fun. (Think Hampster Dance)

the_unknown_one · Post by **the_unknown_one** » Sat 22 Jul, 2006 4:26 pm

Rock, Punk, Metal, Ska, Reggae and New Wave is what I mostly listen to. I despise techno, hip hop and any shit connected to it.

Post by **kv83** » Sat 22 Jul, 2006 4:27 pm

Mostly U2. I love that band. Besides that I listen to a wide range of music

Frank Sinatra was also a very, very good artist

CoBB · Post by **CoBB** » Sat 22 Jul, 2006 4:51 pm

I posted my current list at UTI.

U2 ownzorz.

Post by **tr1p1ea** » Sun 23 Jul, 2006 2:03 pm

I like U2, definately one of the greatest bands ever.

Im more open to anything to be honest. I am not restricted to any specific genre ... i just like a good song.

the_unknown_one · Post by **the_unknown_one** » Sun 23 Jul, 2006 9:13 pm

tr1p: Me too, but I do not like techno, hip hop, ... overall. There are exceptions, though.
