I'm into the early 90's grunge music like Nirvana, bush and Smashing Pumpkins but i lately it's been harder stuff like Dragpipe and American Head Charge. But I can get into pretty much anything as long as i can relate to the lyrics.

[Guest Lee]

Most of the music I like is not very well known. My favorite genre of music is Celtic/Celtic fusion and about the only genre I don't like is rap.

Favorite bands/singers/musicians/composers (No top favorite):

Horslips, The Pogues, Oingo Boingo, Blue Oyster Cult, Dropkick Murphys, Flogging Molly, Emerald Rose, Gaelic Storm, The Tossers, Blue October, Dragonforce, Cruachan, Voltaire, The Beatles, Beyond the Pale, Bon Jovi, The Eagles, Fisticuffs, My Chemical Romance, Piano Squall, Siobhan, The Statler Brothers, Stiff Little Fingers, Tchaikovsky, and Era...

There's a few more, but I can't think of them right now.... Sorry the list was so long. And I have too many favorite songs to list.

[Guest RainBird]

Here's one of my all time favourite groups, their music gives my chills within and a sense of letting go from the bites of reality, especially through my PA system and subwoofers..

Infected Mushroom - Stretched

[Guest hypersonic59]

Nine Inch Nails! Right now my fave, especially since my friend and I went down to see a concert yesterday.

Also, Radiohead, Beck, Muse, Rammstein (though less so than before... ), System of a Down (a bit), Meshuggah (crazy, crazy stuff), some other stuff too, but mostly the first four I mentioned.

[Guest Daru]

I love JPop, JRock, Janything

Been closely following the Vocaloid community lately.

[Guest Treefish]

Chelsea: I'm a sucker for most of those in your top 7 bands. Coincidentally, my fondness of them is in that order. =P

Jamie: Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins are the shizz, and I was pretty stoked when the Smashing Pumpkins made a comeback this year.

Lee: I haven't heard of that genre, but I've probably unknowingly listened to it. I don't know most of the bands you like, unfortunately. Except for like, Blue Oyster Cult and the other obviouses. But being the curious thing that I am, I'll get around to listening to them. The stand out in your list that I actually know are The Beatles, since I lord them.

RainBird: I listened to the link, and I really like the song. It's relaxing, no? While at the same time I want to do a little dance. When I first saw the background image I was half expecting metal.

Jen: I like some J-Pop, but Ayumi Hamasaki is the only artist that comes to mind. As for Hilary Duff... I won't say it. I'll be good.

theEND: You named a few of my favourite bands. Muse, Placebo, and Mindless Self Indulgence. I saw MSI live, and they were insane and awesome. It was a shame that fangirls attempted to sing along to the songs, though, since most people can't sing as fast as him nor understand the lyrics.

Hypersonic: NIN have a special place in my heart, since the first song I learnt on guitar was a NIN song. I envy you for having seen one of their concerts! Radiohead are also a personal favourite, especially 'Karma Police' and 'Creep'. It amuses me how he fully pays himself out in that song.

Daru: I love Japanese music too. Have you ever gotten into the Visual Kei stuff? Bands like Malice Mizer and Japan X, even though Visual Kei is dying out.. Malice Mizer is Gackt Camui's old band, if you recognise his name at all. Kanon Wakeshima, Ayumi Hamasaki, HYDE/L'arc~en~Ciel, Maximum The Hormone, Gackt/Malice Mizer are my favourite Japanese artists.

Gah.

I felt like replying to everyone else, just because I'm cool like that.

As for what I like... well, all the aforementioned bands that I named above plus The Academy Is..., Adam Ant, Architecture In Helsinki, Arctic Monkeys, As Tall As Lions, Audioslave, Avenged Sevenfold, Atreyu, Anberlin, Breaking Benjamin, Brand New, Behind Crimson Eyes, Bloc Party, Cobra Starship, The Cranberries (but not live!), The Cure, David Bowie, Death Cab For Cutie, The Dresden Dolls, The Fratellis, Goodnight Nurse, The Grates, HIM, Hoobastank, Horsell Common, Kaiser Chiefs, Klaxons, Madina Lake, Mae, The Matches, Maximo Park, Mechnical Bride, Menomena, Mew, MGMT, Of Montreal, Operator Please, Panic At The Disco, Patrick Wolf, The Pink Spiders, Pirates of Penzance, The Polyphonic Spree, Powerspace, The Radio Dept., Robots In Disguise, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, Sex Pistols, Three Days Grace, The White Stripes, 30 Seconds To Mars, Incubus.

I know, I'm evil and used the aid of my iPod. But trust me, that's the shortlist. I've used 70GB of space on my iPod so I find the list admirably short. D:

[Guest femmym]

[Guest Cruz]

This is a topic I'm always interested in. Here it goes:

- Metallica;

- Alice In Chains;

- Dream Theatre;

- Johnny Cash;

- Tori Amos;

- Tom Waits;

- Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds;

- Tool;

- Holly Cole;

- Al di Meola;

And the list goes on, and on...

But Metallica have been with me for the last 18 years (oh no, just realized for how long... it seems yesterday!)

[Guest theEND]

I saw MSI live, and they were insane and awesome. It was a shame that fangirls attempted to sing along to the songs, though, since most people can't sing as fast as him nor understand the lyrics.

I've seen them live too, but it was only for 30 minutes since there was like 20 bands to get through and they weren't the main act. They are awesome though..they're my all time favourite band

[Guest Daru]

Daru: I love Japanese music too. Have you ever gotten into the Visual Kei stuff? Bands like Malice Mizer and Japan X, even though Visual Kei is dying out.. Malice Mizer is Gackt Camui's old band, if you recognise his name at all. Kanon Wakeshima, Ayumi Hamasaki, HYDE/L'arc~en~Ciel, Maximum The Hormone, Gackt/Malice Mizer are my favourite Japanese artists.

I admit, when I listen to music I often don't pay attention to who the artist is. I do recognize most of those, though! I've only been to a couple concerts, all of them Japanese bands! The pillows was my favorite. The pillows have a lot of great songs!

I know and like Gackt, but I like Miyavi more! Miyavi is so adorable! And his songs are fun! I bet he would be such a fun person to know irl! There's tons of Miyavi music videos on youtube =3

As for the rest, I have probably heard some of their songs but I don't know them

[Guest Sara N]

Japanese music is definitely on the top of my list though I don't really pay attention to who the artist is. So I'm pretty much clueless when people start listing names of people and bands.

[Guest Treefish]

You saw MSI for 30 minutes? About the same amount of time I saw them, really. It was at the Soundwave Festival, and if I recall correctly, they had 40 bands to get through. They have such a stand out stage presence...

I wish to see my favourite Japanese artists in concerts, but unfortunately World Wide tours apparently don't include Australia. I don't know much about Miyavi, but I recognise his name. I think he's part of Skin? Some sort of superband thing that also has Gackt and an X Japan member in it, anyway.. I don't think they've actually done anything as 'Skin', though, except for one performance at an animé convention. T'is a shame. Imagine all the J-Rock gods in the same band...

Miyavi probably is a lot more fun than Gackt. Gackt doesn't seem very excitable on his TV appearances. But he makes me think of Vampyres, which makes me happy... okay, I like him because his voice is the sex ._. There's probably about a ten year age gap between Gackt and Miyavi.. which maybe explains why Gackt is so stoic? o.o I know HYDE is 39, and Gackt hasn't given out his age... (Well, he has, but he says he's a vampyre and 450 years old or so), but it's estimated to be about 37. xD; Yeah. I'm stalker-ish.

Neh, Sara, there are a lot of Japanese songs that I've listened to and liked, but I have no idea who the artists were. I had a Japanese buddy at school once, you see, and I pretty much stole her iPod... the poor thing.

Oh cool, is that good? I went to Give It A Name, there were 29 proper bands but a whole bunch of rubbish ones to fill in inbetween.

[Guest katie019]

I listen to a lot of different artists, I like drum n' bass like deiselboy. Trance like infected mushroom. Gabba and hhc like anabolic frolic and galaxy 98.

And a lot of old school punk, such as the adicts, DOA, dead kennedys, the cockney rejects, black flag,bad religion, and so on. Also newer punk like nofx. Then everything else like mindless self indulgence, reel big fish, and I love the stray cats and sublime.

Music's really all I know.

you have awesome music taste

I'm really into any kind of music mostly punk rock, ska (Especially the two-tone stuff), hardcore, reggae, indie rock, folk rock, basically anything good ! Music is my life so like I need to be open minded about it

[Guest Keira]

I won't even try to list my favourite bands and songs, cos there's so many of them and I'd probably miss heaps out. I'm mostly into rock, techno, dance, house, drum n bass, etc. But really, I'll listen to pretty much anything that isn't "gangsta"
