Music Poll

Yo job, if ya look at Jafo's thread you'll see a wide variety of tastes. Everything but Opera and that crap called Rap.

Jobeleca: Check out Jafo's post "People with hit me, but...."

it's an ongoing thread about what people are listening to.

thanks

Which doesn't stop me from spouting my tastes. I listen to just about everything that's on the air, but I can't stand Jazz or that crud commercial R&B that's so popular these days.

CD-wise I stick to one genre though: Black Metal. Primarily because you never hear that anywhere.

Never hear it because noone but you has ever heard of it.....

That's what I thought. Turns out half the world listens to it.

While I can't stand Em's 1st CD, I do like his most recent one.

As for radio, I either listen to variety, rock, or jams. Though like crae, I can't stand some of the dipsy R&B that passes for music these days.

Listening to Phantom of the Opera now

Wonderful, I'm in heaven

I have never liked listening to the radio..............just not a "popular" music kind of guy.

True, but it's cheaper than buying CD's especially at the rip-off rates they're charging these days.

/me listens to everything (especially crud & crap but I don't listen to the crud & crap lyrics just the beat)

Am I the only one here who listens to classical and opera?

Certainly not, but /me certainly doesn't...

lol, i'd never have guessed

/me is listening to "The Four Seasons". I have quite a large amount of classical stuff, like Rachmaninov, Vivaldi, Schubert and Tchaikovsky. (and a lot more too, just can't remember them all at the moment.) I love ALL kinds of music, and I will give anything a try.
But as a guitarist, I mostly listen to May, Vai, DiMeola, Satriani, Bettencourt and Mark Bonilla.
And there you have it...................

My nephew is into thrash metal so I guess thats the reason I have a song on my drive called 'Moonlight Satana'...my favourite piano piece....

Normally, it's traditional 'Heavy' metal...of the driving beat variety...Black Sabbath, Purple, Pink, Crimson....ALL the colours...

Not thrash, or death....that's for 'kids'...

King Crimson - "Dinosaur" - 'Thrak' - 1995

hey, wait a minute, /me is in the wrong thread...

sorry, my bad

It's funny, I found that I don't really listen to music anymore. When I actually put a CD in my CD player, I forget it's there and I am so concertrated on my work that I don't even hear it. Then I don't even notice the CD is over...
Anyway... I find it really weird cause I used to live for music. I always had music on, I could name all the artists and all the songs... Not anymore, I can tell you that. Last CD I bought was about 3 years ago. And when occasionnally I download some MP3, I listen to it once or twice then forget it's there. Oh well, I guess music grew out of me. I'd never have thought so a few years ago.

I mainly listen to electronic Music ('Electronic Body Music', Rhythm & Noise, Goa). No mainstream at all. (Except old 'Depeche Mode' or 'Delerium'...) The only guitar based music I like is Ministry and some old 80's stuff like Killing Joke, Joy Division, Cure, Alien Sex Fiend and so on (but not so often, reminds me of how old I am ) If You are interested I have some playlists up from DJ'ing (and that's the stuff I listen to)here: http://www.neurobeat.com/playlist.htm

C242 - ASF is one of the most influential bands of all time. Nick and Mrs. Fiend are definitely revolutionary when it comes to electronic music. I walk the line has to be one of the most creative, though provoking songs ever writen. That and Blue Brumb Truck - R.I.P.

They are to electronic what Rozz Williams was to death rock. Hey crea - ever listen to Rozz?

I must say you have excellent taste in music

I listen to alot of what was alternative 80s/early 90s music (The Cure, Sisters of Mercy, My Bloody Valentine, Kate Bush, Siouxie Sioux...

Also like darkwave/goth/ethereal/ambient stuff (Steve Roach, Lustmord, David Sylvian, Sigur Ros, Dead Can Dance, Loreena McKennitt, Collide, Raison d'Etre and basically anything off the Projekt label such as Audra, Voltaire, Black Tape for a Blue Girl (Projekt is sort of like the 4AD label of the 80s and 90s.

Plus industrial/electronic stuff (Frontline Assembly, Pig, Haujobb, Velvet Acid Christ, Assemblage23, Juno Reactor, Pain Station,.... )

Been listening to some metal lately too (Therion, Opeth,

Sisters of Mercy - now lets lalk about a band with some influence.

"Under the gun" with Terri Nunn from Berlin is a marvelous creation but Alice by the Sisters is by far one of the greatest songs ever writen They introduced the drum machine into main stream electronic music. - Obviously Not including Skinny Puppy.

I read somewhere that various guys (or most of them) from Skinny Puppy are recording some new stuff.

Dwayne Goettel is dead from a Drug OD (unfortunently) but Ohgr is still making music (http://www.spitfirerecords.com/ohgr.htm) and so is Cevin Keys(http://www.subconsciousstudios.com/).

Hmm, Skinny Puppy... I really liked their earlier stuff but at one point they began to pack so much into one song that it distracted me. Same for Haujobb, btw. although Daniel Myer goes 'back to the roots' nowadays... I am really curious abiut the forthcoming Front 242 stuff. I know they work a lot (full day) on it at the moment.
