[Guest Jessie05]

I enjoy The Beatles, Pink Floyd, The Offspring, Rick Astley, Paramore, Johnny Cash, and Elvis. Most Music is alright to me though.

[Guest dsgb90]

Im a country boy so i country is what i listen to 9 times out of 10.

Sometimes ill switch it up and listen to rock, or rap, or maybe even pop

But normally its just country. Everything from George Strait to Jason Aldean.

My moms favorite has always been Garth Brooks, so i listen to a lot of him. You would think growing up on it would make me dislike it, but he's always made great music.

I like some old classics too; Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis.

Just depends on my mood really. If i just wanna listen to some tunes i turn on country, if i feel like climbing on top of a building and screaming 'FTW' then i listen to eminem.

[Guest iCb]

I recognize some of the bands iCb but some I have never heard of.

It's a real mixed bag as far as countries and genres go; Japanese indie rock, Swedish hip-hop, Some rock from Spain, Drum 'n' Bass from various European countries and the obvious American stuff people might recognize.

[Guest sarah f]

That makes more sense now. How did you get into the music from other countries?

[Guest Donna Jean]

I absolutely love this thread....

I've picked up so much good stuff from here!

[Guest iCb]

That makes more sense now. How did you get into the music from other countries?

I originally got obsessed with Japanese rock after starting to watch anime, namely The Pillows tracks used for FLCL, it just kind of snowballed from there as far as that genre/country goes. It has outlasted my love for anime by a longshot, its easily the bulk of what I listen to. The others were all found through friends, online radio, and hearing them from various sources. I picked up my love of Love of Lesbian from an artist listening to it on livestream while he painted.

Most people I know think I'm insane for listening to music in a language I don't know, but for me it's more about the music itself. The lyrical parts are just another instrument as far as I'm concerned, obviously they can convey emotions in what they say but they also do so by how they sound and "feel".

[Guest sarah f]

Thats cool, I love the beat of some of that type of music. You don't always have to know the words to like it.

[Guest NatalieM]

I think we might be long lost sisters.

I'm mainly a punkrock and post-hardcore kinda kid, as well as hip hop and alt. rock. I do enjoy a wide variety of music though, I just have trouble keeping track of band names outside those genres

Right now I'm listening to a lot of Amity Affliction, Irrelevant, Michael Barnes, boysetsfire, Alexic, Hollywood Undead, 3OH!3, Dot Dot Curve, Brokencyde, A7X, and Disturbed. Some are passing fancies, some are constant favourites.

As for favourite songs - Diamonds for Tears by Poets of the Fall will always be my #1 I think, but everything else changes on a near weekly basis.

[Guest katie019]

dang, it doesnt seem like anyone listens to Dubstep....although its a relatively new direction of music. some artist i like are Caspa, Rusko, Random Rab, Chrispy, and Pantyraid.

i also listen to alot of hardcore like, 25 ta life, The Ghost Inside, xRepresentx, Fight Everyone, Throwdown, Terror, and Hoods.

of course theres alot more, just too many to list haha.

[Guest LuRay]

Bands/Artists I have massive soft spots for include Mono, Burning Witch, Mouth of the Architect, Desiderii Marginis, Swallow the Sun, Ahab, Axis of Perdition, Lady Gaga, Ladytron, Cult of Luna, Destroyalldreamers.

While I will listen to nearly anything, I do prefer my doomy-sludgey stuff.

[Guest PhoebeJoan]

I like all different types of music.

My favourite acts would include Radiohead, Massive Attack, Pink Floyd, George Michael, Bjork, Autechre, Wilco, Tool, Mastodon, The Beatles, Ennio Morricone, Modest Mouse, The Stone Roses, The Smiths, My Bloody Valentine, The Doobie Bros, Flying Lotus, Nas, Miles Davis, Ride, Porcupine Tree, Crowded House, etc.

George Michael and Bjork would be my favourite solo artists. Radiohead maybe my fave band.

Genre-wise, Im a sucker for great instrumentation, I also like jazzy, loungey, after-hours stuff. Trip hop is a fave.

[Guest N.Chaos]

My list is so, so eclectic. I listen to a lot of punk (Rancid, Blitzkid and The Misfits are probably my favorites in that arena but there's a lot more). I'm also recently falling in love with trip-hop (Massive Attack and Portishead are my favorites at the moment, but Sneaker Pimps come close because they're what got me into it). Pink Floyd is one of my all-time favorite bands EVER. I love Explosions in the Sky, Erik Satie is my all time favorite composer (Gnossiene #3 gives me chills everytime) with Claude Debussy hot on his heels ('Reverie' is just incredible). Angelspit, Psyclon Nine, and Bile are great industrial to listen to when I'm peed...Skitsystem, Wolfbrigade, Blood For Blood and From Ashes Rise are great...d-beat/crust/hardcore? I'm bad at genres/labeling. I listen to just about everything, except for most current/popular music (But even there there's exceptions, I love Lady Gaga and Rhianna's "Rehab" makes me want to cry whenever I hear it).

So to make it easier...what I'm stuck on lately:

-Pink Floyd, especially "The Division Bell"

-Recently fell in love with The National thanks to that song "Bloodbuzz Ohio"

-Damien Zygote

-Erik Satie

-Black Tape for a Blue Girl

-Irfan

-Blood for Blood

-Queens of the Stone Age

-Michael Lucarelli

Yeah, I'm all over the place.

[Guest PhoebeJoan]

Thats a nice mix there N.Chaos

I also love the whole broad trip-hop genre, just great music.

Pink Floyd is a long-time fave as well. When I was younger I adored Animals. I did all my final school year studies at home listening to Wish You Were Here. Even The Wall is good if your in the mood, great conceptual piece.

Dark Side of the Moon is famous for a reason, a perfect record.

Meddle has become my favourite over time though. A nice sunday morning record for me.

Im a little lost on current popular music as well. I remember as a kid in the 90's I loved chart music, but the 2000's slowly went downhill for me.

And dont fret on genre's/labeling, im sure we could all agree that the world could do with less of that
