[absolutemayhem]

Too much to list for me, I like a wide varity. BUT on the lines of music here is something I thought was kind of funny and kind of RAD related.

I used to commute to Montreal a lot (well actually St. Bruno .. anyways). Someone gave me an old mixed audio CD with some various techo songs on it, Well trax 12 had this james bond theme song techno remix and I always used to play that just before I hit the tunnel. It always felt like I was in a video game speeding through the tunnel in a rental car listening to that song.

-MayheM

If you really get bored, you can check out exactly what I listen to on ilike.com:

http://ilike.com/user/Raul_H104

It keeps up to the minute stats on what I am listening to in iTunes.

[gonzooo]

There are good stuff in every genre, I think, with the possible exception of a swedish genre called "dansband".

The "Top artists overall" list of my Last.fm account (http://www.last.fm/user/VerbalKint/) should give you an idea of what I listen to.

[radzack]

I'm way to indie too even like music!

[forthekids85]

Wait.. where was all this when that last music thread came up and everyone just liked Spoon and all that stuff?

Anyway, nice to see some harder stuff being listened to by TRS fans. I was afraid I was alone.

Love seeing The Devils Wears Prada, August Burns Red, HORSE the Band, and Portugal. The Man. being mentioned. Props to those who listed those awesome bands.

I'm a big fan of hardcore, metal, and anything in between.

Lamb of God
Killswitch Engage
Norma Jean
Inhale Exhale
Slipknot
The Chariot
Hellyeah
Jesu
Tool
Bleeding Through
IWRESTLEDABEARONCE
Unearth
Poison The Well
Maylene and the Sons of Disaster
Every Time I Die
Stone Sour
Misery Signals
Martyr A.D.


I could go on and on... I almost want to start a 'least favorite band' thread, so that I could throw Radiohead and Spoon at the top of my list. :D

[stubadub]

How was Radiohead? I'm seeing them again in Houston on Saturday.

[radzack]

I'd love to seem them live. They sound great.

[spartacus]

I've played with prada, fyi. cool guys :)
Really , thats awesome :)

[radzack]

yeah touring is fun. Ummm. The only other band on that list I can say I know is poison the well..didn't play with them but i hung a few stops with underoath/poison few years back. Crazy nights you can guess.

[cryonix]

i like almost anything... cant usually handle pop
My current flavor is:

Octopus Project
AA. Kurtz (sweet chiptunes)
AIR
The Go! Team
Ratatat
CSS
Justice

Check out http://trash-can.net/ most of the 'bedtime tunes' are good for some nice relaxing music.

I've been listening to the mashups from BootieUSA.com (A pus D, King of Pants, Party Ben)
Best of Bootie 2005 is a good place to start. also monthly "top 10" in the bootie blog. already have 2 Gb of music just from them.

and no matter how old it is. I cant get enough of the Katamari Damacy soundtrack.

[themuffinman]

@cryonix - love ratatat and justice, I really should get back into Air I remember liking a few of their songs a while back. Great find on trash-can.net listening right now its pretty awesome!

[drghoo]

Stubadub, I love your list, many of the same music tastes. Pretty much been a FNM/Mike Patton fan from the beginning. I've had many an opportunity to hang with those guys in the past and it was a thrill of a lifetime. Right now and for the past 10 yrs have been a huge Sevendust fan. They have taken the place of Faith No More as my go-to/favorite band. I don't stray too far from what I've already been raised on. Starting from childhood with Led Zep/Sabbath/Queen-then to some early hip hop/r&b/rap in the 80's/90's-then heavy into the grunge bands(still am)-to current day "Nu Metal" stuff! And since I was a kid, I've always listened to and loved classical music. You can catch me listening to streaming classical(Pandora/iTunes) to KUSC here in L.A.

Someone gave me an old mixed audio CD with some various techo songs on it, Well trax 12 had this james bond theme song techno remix and I always used to play that just before I hit the tunnel.

See what I did there? Huh? Huh?

[esophagus]

Milo lives like around the corner from me ;) Im a big fan of their music as well.Next time you see him tell him that I think the fact that his Wikipedia page says "Milo Aukerman is an American singer, songwriter and research biochemist" is the most awesome thing ever.

[ramshaw]

Muse FTW.
