Hey Music Lover

[CommanderRaytas]

It really depends on my mood. I can tell you what I don't like: rap (hiphop and anything like it), reggae and what we used to call techno in the old, old days.

I love Keane (obviously), Coldplay, The Beatles, Oasis, Green Day, Linkin Park, My Chemical Romance (and I don't care if they are emo or not)..... when I feel like it, I put on my good friend James Blunt, too.

I also listen to classical music, big band jazz, country (Lonestar, from my days in the USA. The lyrics are horrible, but the music is fun), 50s rock'n'roll... anything melodic, really.

Right now: Keane- The Lovers Are Losing

 

[Michael]

Too much to list it all here. Just have a look at my Last.fm profile.

 

[Nerdius Maximus]

Metal is my favorite genre of music. Any era, be it new or old. Classic metal(Maiden,Priest, Sabbath, etc) thrash(Slayer, Coroner, Testament, Exodus, etc) death(Cannibal Corpse, Obituary, Morbid Angel, etc), black(Emperor, Dimmu Borgir, Gehenna, Old Man's Child, Mayhem, etc), whatever. I love classical, particularly Bach, Beethoven and movie scores by John Williams. I listen to a whole lot of classic rock, old school rap, alternative, '80s pop (New Order, the Police, Duran Duran, all that stuff), '70s funk and R&B, and even a little bit of country here and there, such as Dwight Yoakam and Johnny Cash).

Right fucking on. Good taste!

 

[CommanderRaytas]

I like Blind Guardian, went to see them two years ago in Germany.

 

[John Clark]

One band I have been listening to recently is Davotchka. Heard one of their tracks to an advert at the cinema and thought I'd look them up

The first track I'd heard of theirs was this one:-

[tharpdevenport]

TV and film scores. Usually JErry Goldsmith, but many other composers make their way in.

Last thing I listened to were random cues I was ripping (and editing some) for CD compilations to play in my car. CDs I rarely listen to were the targets.

[stoneroses]

I like: The Beatles, The Stone Roses, The Libertines, Babyshambles, the stones and many others.
I like to try new bands as much as I can. Indi music is alive and kicking
My favourite new bands are MGMT, Carbon Silicon and The Foxes.

Last Fm is great for music fans. I find a lot of new stuff there.

^I love the Stone Roses. Their mellow sound is a tad shoe-gazy, are you fond of anything in that genre? Slowdive was one of my favorite bands as a kid, and I've been listening to them a lot lately.

For the past few days, however, I've been listening to the Charlie Brown Christmas album. I adore that album! So the last track I played was "Christmas Time is Here" - The Vince Guaraldi Trio.

 

[Ruaidhri]

Very little I don't listen to nowadays. The last track I specifically sought out was "Let Love In" by the Goo Goo Dolls. That song makes me smile.

I'm partial to a bit of Shoegazing music - I was in my 20's when it was around. I have Just For A Day, Pygmalion and Souvlaki by Slowdive on mp3 - with Souvlaki Space Station being a favourite Slowdive song of mine. I'm a big Ride fan as well - even though the singing was weak.

And the Stone Roses? Oh, yes. Definitely.

 

[Ashu]

I listen to alternative rock, punk, and metal. With other sporadic things stuck in there, but mainly that.

The last song I purposefully listened too? Phantom of the Opera by Nightwish.

I normally have my itunes on random, but after working a sarah brightman concert I had an urge to listen to them, as she has an opera-ish voice, and Nightwish is a metal band whose lead singer is opera trained.

 

[TheBrew]

I am a big fan of both Metal and Classical Music with a bit of everything else thrown in.

Currently "Crash Into Me" by Dave Matthews is playing.

Not anymore she's not.

The rest of the band ditched Tarja Turunen and blasted her in an open letter on their website. She took a break to pursue her studies in 2003 and the rest of the band noticed a change in her behaviour and attitude when she came back. She was also getting a larger share of the money, allegedly.

She's been replaced with Swedish singer Anette Olzon.

Tarja never quite hit the same notes Sarah Brightman is capable of on Phantom of the Opera.

 

[Tyre]

Shoegaze is great. I had a marathon of Psychocandy/Isn't Anything/Nowhere/Heaven or Las Vegas/Loveless/Souvlaki a couple days ago. Good times.

Yeah, I just started using Last.fm last week. It's rather usefull, and oddly entertaining. I actually used it to play random songs for a while, just to keep track of the interesting combinations that came up. For example:

I might be one of the only people who thinks that The Second Coming is a better album than the first one. Well, maybe better is not the right word, it's not as groundbreaking or influential, but I prefer it.

To me that is John Squire's finest hour, a monsterous 70 minute virtuoso guitar solo, he totally owns that whole album, I love it

 

[ITL]

Squire's guitar work has always been an inspiration to me - from the subtleties of Waterfall to the sublime slide-playing and tight rocking-out of Love Spreads (I did figure out the slide intro to Love Spreads, once - I play it in an open D tuning. Very badly. ).

I love the second album very much.

 

[Goliath]

I'll start.

Favourite genres are : 80s chart stuff; gothic rock; and contemporary electro-industrial.

You and I would have gotten along very well about fifteen years ago. I was deeply into the whole gothic-industrial scene.

I still have a few CDs kicking around from those days. Just the other day I felt the urge to listen to Burn, Baby, Burn! by the Electric Hellfire Club. I have many fond memories of hitting the dance floor when "Age of Fire" played.

But for the most part, nowadays, I listen to classical music. And when I'm not listening to classical, I'm listening to some kind of extreme metal--black metal, melodic death metal, grindcore, etc.

Last track I listened to: the third movement of Philip Glass's Violin Concerto.

 

[CommanderRaytas]

I absolutely love that album. "Better Days" would be the best track, closely followed by "Let Love In".

Around Christmas, I listen to Bing Crosby until my ears start bleeding.

 

[Deckard]

I have no real preference for what music I like, though I will admit that guitar-driven rock and indie is probably central to my music collection. But if it sounds good then that's all that matters to me. At the moment I'm listening to "Iron Blue Intention" from the Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin game soundtrack. Before that it was "Call the Shots" by Girls Aloud.

Rock, pop, dance, classical, j-pop, folk...if it sounds good to me then that's all I care about

(Also add me to the chorus of Stone Roses fans. Love both their albums but to this day their debut probably remains my all-time favourite album though "Mersey Paradise" is currently my top Roses track. Great band)
