What kind of music do you listen to?

[paulsaves]

I haven't been around enough to know you guys, and I was wondering what kind of music you guys listen to.

As for myself, I'm into some indie rock, like Explosions in the Sky, Ratatat, Broken Social Scene. And this hardcore band from Brooklyn, Gospel.

I also listen to certain Hip-Hop artists.

So what are you guys into?

[bird603568]

punk hardcore and some ska

[funnelfish]

I don't know what I like anymore. I used to like me some pop-punk. Green Day, Offspring, Blink182 and the like... but there are very few new bands like that coming out recently. It's all about the flash in the pan now adays. **** me sideways.... I must be old. On my playlist I have Punchline, Gogol Bordello, Flogging Molly, Sissor Sisters and The Killers.

[b0r]

I listen to mostly death metal, grindcore, and opera. Every once in a while I like to listen to traditional jazz. Technical Death Metal is my favorite genre though.

[abacusand13south]

I have very eclectic taste and listen to about everything except for that fake pop punk whining emo whatever its called shit. But id have to say im mostly a metalhead and prog fan.

[divadawg9234]

I listen to just about everything except super twangy country and hardcore gangster rap...

[bravestarr]

drum & bass, hip-hop (jedi mind tricks, 7l & esoteric, non-phixon, etc), rap (from ice t to kool moe dee to jay-z), classic rock (zeppelin, floyd, sabbath, santana), 80's pop-synth, portishead, nine inch nails & RATM

[viscountradu]

i listen to a lot of stuff, but my favorite genres are melodic-punk/ska-punk, electric blues, and alternative rock. right now i am really into Less Than Jake, Bowling For Soup, and MxPx, but my favorites change often.

[paulsaves]

If you're into hip-hop, you should get yourself some Pharaoh Monch.

But uh . . . don't say I didn't warn you. Cause I'm warning you now. :)

Yeah, when I was younger my brother made me listen to Pharaoh Monch, I haven't listened to him in a while though.

[paulsaves]

I'm not into hardcore gangster rap either. But in some cases, the rapper is so bad he's good, like T.I.

WHATCHU KNOW 'BOUT DAT!!!???!

[djhyjak]

I listen to a wide range of music Acid Jazz, Neo Soul, Techno, All forms of HipHop (cause it makes me money) Some Punk and Indie rock, Never Country.

Right now im listen to some Grace Jones , Tribe Called Quest, Van Hunt, & Kelis

[comradelazyman]

Well right now I listen to Frou Frou, Zeppelin and Sufjan Stevens alot.

[tarmanydyn]

Progressive Metal, or any combination of the two genres. Symphonic Metal, Power Metal, etc.

Dream Theater / LTE
Symphony X
Angra
Rush

Also a fair amount of solo artists, from Petrucci to Satriani to Buckethead.

[superdeformed]

Depends on the band really. I beleive 2% of any given style of any music is actually good.

I enjoy more Metal than any other genra. I was big into speed/thrash metal then I got into alternative, mainly grunge.

Lately I've been listening to High on Fire, Dimmu Borgir, System of a Down, and Opeth alot lately for some reason.

I aquired Epitaph by Necrophaist last night and enjoyed it dispite it being all cookie monster vocals.

I ramble too much.

[paulsaves]

Well right now I listen to Frou Frou, Zeppelin and Sufjan Stevens alot.

My cousin's trying to get me into Sufjan Stevens, hows his music?

[calvinslug]

I only listen to super-twangy country and hardcore rap.

[comradelazyman]

My cousin's trying to get me into Sufjan Stevens, hows his music?

Well I can't really describe his music but it falls under indie. It's just really well written songs with alot of instrumentals and stuff. If you've seen little miss sunshine there are two tracks in there from 'the avalanche' I think. The music just feels like a soundtrack.

Download the songs 'For Widows in Paradise', 'Chicago A.C' and 'The Avalanche'

[ali_pinto]

I love Indie Rock. I'm really into singer/songwriters. I love alt country (and for those of you who don't know what that is: Old 97s, Wilco, Whiskeytown). I grew up listening to pop-punk and post hardcore music. I pretty much will listen to anything if it doesn't suck.

[mikeydub]

I just got 2 OK Go cd's yesterday. They're awesome, and that's what I'm listening to.

[b0r]

I aquired Epitaph by Necrophaist last night and enjoyed it dispite it being all cookie monster vocals.



I looove Necrophagist. There isn't one weak link in that band IMO.

[slowmtnsilhouette]

i listen to all kinds of stuff.

[bird603568]

im getting into ska can someone hoke me up with some sweet ska bands?

[jdhore]

i listen to most music except for rap/hip-hop and country.

[popltree2]

im getting into ska can someone hoke me up with some sweet ska bands?

Check out Operation Ivy. One of my fav. ska bands.

[bird603568]

ive listened to them for years

[popltree2]

Old school punk (Sex Pistols, Bad Religion, Black Flag, etc.) and hard rock.

[zerohero]

I listen to just about everything except country music ;)

[vegasgeek]

Death Metal all th way. i like a lot of thrash like DRI and shiz. but GWAR is my favorite band...and they really don't have a classification.

[proglodyte]

Progressive rock, progressive metal, most forms of jazz, classical, some death metal, some punk and a little classic rock.

[superdeformed]

I only listen to super-twangy country and hardcore rap.

Hello average American. Did you catch American Idol last week? Man that Simon is a douch. Boy that one girl can sing though.

They suffer from what alot of technical metal bands suffer from, that's the riffs can blurr together althought they are technically different and stuff I could never play. Opeth somehow works in Melody to overcome this. BUt Necrophagist is brutal and I enjoyed them alot.

Glad I looked up the band members I didn't recognize in your super group.

[paulsaves]

I forgot to mention I'm into a lot of instrumental bands, I said Explosions in the Sky. But then there's also Godspeed You! Black Emperor and From Monument to Masses.

[jdhore]

lately, i've been listening to A LOT of KMFDM, System of a Down and Orbital

[calvinslug]

I never thought I'd get into forum *****ing, but are you the type of guy who just hits "last page" and replies to whatever's there? I was making a joke on what Divadawg had written.

I listen to a huge amount of stuff from all different genres, and I'm always finding new things (thanks Bob Boilen!). I've recently been getting into John Fahey and Leo Kottke and others like them - what would they be called? Psycho Folk Acoustic Guitar Instrumentalists?

I'm desperatley waiting for a Dethklok album to come out!

[ariastar]

From classic rock to classical, grunge to electronica, country to R&B, I like music from all genres. It's more or less the particular artist's style that makes me like or dislike it. I even like some rap. It just depends, but I have everything from chants to German death rock on my iPod that I listen to.

[matteekay]

I pretty much run the gamut of metal subgenres, save black metal with a few exceptions (Cradle of Filth and OLD Samael). But yeah, melodic death the most, everything else plenty: prog, death, thrash, metalcore, what have you. My 35 gigs or so of music is about 94% metal variations. The rest is DMB, Peter Gabriel, Gregorian chant, and a leetle beeto techno.

[delacommon]

If you're into hip-hop, you should get yourself some Pharaoh Monch.

But uh . . . don't say I didn't warn you. Cause I'm warning you now. :)

Yeah my last college radio show I played Simon Says unedited, got into some shit over that one.


Any type of music is good.

I listen to a lot of indie shit now that everyone clowns on me for listening to.

I was born and raised in Detroit...hello, it's Motown. One night I had an epiphany. I had my radio on the usual R&B station, but for some reason I got up while I was half asleep and changed to a Top 40 station. By the morning I was truly fascinated with this new form of music, Genesis, Duran Duran, The Eurythmics, Culture Club..stuff none of my peers listened to.

Now I have a collection that includes, rock, metal, classical, pop, R&B, rap, alternative, country. In any given day I might listen to Coldplay, New Edition, The Killers, Josh Groban, Garbage, Depeche Mode, Brian McKnight, RHCP, The Dixie Chicks, Prince, Linkin Park, Seal...and these are a few of the artists that I've seen in concert too. But still, as mentioned, within each genre remaining pretty much in the middle of the road.

All the while I was younger I drove my mother crazy with my music. Had my little CD player playing all the time. Little did I know my baby brother, 14 years my junior was listening. By the time he got old enough to choose his own music, he branched out from the "R&B only" set too. Now I have someone to go to concerts with. You should see the looks we get, this tall 6'3" black dude at a Keane concert. :)
