Title: Preferred Music
Post by: Mad Bomber on December 01, 2002, 03:05:55 am
I know there are a bunch of old threads, but I felt a new one was justified, since the old ones are too old to resurrect.

Anyway, out of pure random curiosity and boredom, I want to know what kind of music people generally prefer, and which band in particular is your favorite.


I prefer rock that involves actual singing (not rhythmic shouting into the microphone).

My personal favorite band is Don't Look Down (http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/165/dontlookdown.html), a pop-punk band (leaning towards punk) from the Philly area. Believe me, they're quite good, and fairly original too. Check out the link and listen to some of the tracks if you don't believe me.

Suicide Machines, Rancid, Strongbad, New Found Glory (in that order.)

Probably Don't Look Down will fit in there at some point.

I like what's called 'classical' music, except opera. I also like listening to Enya.

Linkin Park, KoRn & Puddle of Mudd

Don't get me wrong, I like the music not the bands.

I like orchestral music. Can't really be classified as "classical" music because I don't specifically listen to older music from the Baroque, Rennaisance etc. period. I listen mostly to modern orchestra music, particularly movie soundtracks.

I can't stand pop, rock, rap etc. :ick

My tastes have become somewhat eclectic. When I was little I used to like pop music but these days pop is definitely ****e. I guess I listen to Rock more than anything else with bands like Within Temptation and Tool coming firm favourites. Gorrilaz, Incubus and Mr Scruff are also listened to a lot these days. I do like a spot of classical though, but it depends on my mood.

I too like many different kind of music... allmost everything goes as long as it sounds good enough.

But my favourite band is Nightwish (http://www.nightwish.com) :)

WAGNER!

Anyway, the more powerful side of classical stuff, like Ride of the Valkyries.
Or Jazz, erm stuff like Brazil.

I don't really like any types of music, just individual pieces.

Oh, Hell March, form Red Alert.

Indie... mostly late 90's stuff - I've been a bit dissappointed by a few of the more recent albums.

Charlatans, Travis, Seahorses, The Verve, Supergrass, U2, etc are the type of bands I buy...

Linkin Park (saw them in concert)

KoRn ;7
Default

Nine Inch Nails
Vast
Stabbing Westward
Eminem
Mike Oldfield
The Calling


Techno (the old stuff, pre 94)
Video Game music
J-Pop
Bagpipes

and about a billion things I haven't mentioned. The important thing is that the music reaches down deep into the self, and pulls out emotional resonances, be it sily and bouncy, or angry and aggressive.

I can listen to about anything save for rap, raggae, techno and stuff like that. Favourite as to be symphonic metal ( Angra for exemple )

A rousing courus of Billy Boy on the Northumbrian small pipe does much to envigorate the spirit at a dark time.

Hmmm.... I'll have to say it depends on mood...

When I'm working I play classical music

Other than that I play lots of different kinds (jazz, pop, rock, classical, wierd etc.) but one of the music group/bands that I like particularly is Rumania Montevideo :D

Because at those sorts of parties, the average IQ of the attendees is not conducive to stimulating conversation, especially when they're drunk.

A truly great piece of music, that was.  #1 on my list of game soundtracks, to be sure.

I listen to, lets see... *goes and opens Winamp*  In no particular order, and not exhaustively listed:
U2 (the greatest band ever), Crash Test Dummies, Plumb, Dave Matthews, REM, Spirit of the West (Scots from Alberta!), The Tragically Hip, Ambient Theology, The Cranberries, wide ranging orchastral pieces, masses of ambient and industrial electronic downloads from mp3.com, and more...

Both Hell March's and the End Credits from Perfect Dark are the best video game music hands down.  :nod:

The mission I primarily listen to at them moment is metal and heavy rock, Metallica, Stained, Tool, System of a Down, etc. But my favourite type of music is unquestionably jazz - the old stuff, from the 20s on - the kind of stuff that could be made up on the spot and never played again. Those guys were true musicians :D.
