You can post whatever songs or bands you like, whatever you're listening to, whatever turns you on, off, whatever here. Hopefully, we'll all get to experience some new genres of music from our fellow role players.
As of right now I just got into Placebo...I really dislike some of their songs, and have an extraordinary connection with others, kinda weird but what can you do?
I'm listening to
The Bitter End right now, pretty cool.
You?

I seem to be addicted to the following.
1. Foamy The Squirrel (Not always music, but squirelly wrath kicks yo' ass!
2. Barenaked Ladies, the best thing out of Canada since Beaver pelts
3. Reel Big Fish (Monkeys for nuthin' and Chimps for free)
and finally,
4. Steve Robinson, Do a napster search
Listen, ye mighty, and be awesome.
Sariel - April 6, 2008 07:36 AM (GMT)
Thanks for the input man, I'll be checking them out on Youtube.
Rios - April 6, 2008 12:21 PM (GMT)
Well my favourite bands all come from mostly the same Genre.
Some bands I like.
My Chemical Romance
Panic at the Disco
Fall Out Boy
Killswitch Engage
Atreyu
Escape the Fate
But there are also a lot of bands where I like one song by them, but none of their other songs.
plaidsheep - April 6, 2008 04:42 PM (GMT)
I got music taste all over the place.
Main favorite bands:
Muse- Just got their live C.D. and DVD from Wembley, it was amazing!
QOTSA- Queens of the Stone Age, great band to see live.
Daft Punk- Crazy awesome techno.
The Chemical Brothers- More good techno.
CCR- Creedence Clearwater Revival, I love their music.
I got tons more, just not enough time to list them.
Dante Nelson - April 6, 2008 05:44 PM (GMT)
My overall favorite band is definitely The Beatles. Love almost everything they made: Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, I'm So Tired, Hey Jude, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, and the list goes on.
Vasto Duval - April 13, 2008 03:39 PM (GMT)
Well, recently I've been getting into a certain band, Killswitch Engage. Though, I don't exactly have many of their songs. Yeah, I've heard a few of their songs here and there quite awhile back, but nothing that really peaked my interest. Anyway, one my friends directed me to a video of theirs on Youtube, Holy Diver. I listened to it, and thought it was pretty sweet. Downloaded some of their songs from Morpheus. I'm considering actually getting one of their albums.
Some of the bands I like:
Machine Head, Metallica, Black Label Society, Hatebreed, Arch Enemy, ACDC, The Offspring, Disturbed, Rammstein, KoRn, Lamb of God, Motörhead, System of a Down
I'm typically more for Metal. Though I'll listen to pretty much everything except for certain genres that I tend to stay away from like rap or country, for example. That's not saying that all rap and country music is bad, just that I typically don't like that kind of music. Ya know what I'm saying?
Sariel - April 14, 2008 04:47 AM (GMT)
Great bands and song guys, I enjoy previewing this stuff on Youtube.
You guys should definitively check out Muse. Lot of variety to their music, and probably one of the greatest bands to see live. If you don't like one song, don't stop, you'll find something eventually that strikes a chord with you.
Kradence - April 17, 2008 04:32 AM (GMT)
O hey someone mentioned Muse sweet band. I love music and listen to it everyday or play guitar but this is how it would go for me. Ill add favorite song at end of each.
1. Angels and Airwaves- Everything s Magic
2. Panic at the disco- Mad as Rabbits
3. Muse- Assassin
4. Well tie between to bands Killswitch engage and Disturbed K.E- My curse Disturbed- Prayer
5. The Beatles
All of these band have had an impact on me and I love them a lot. Don't look at them in rank look at them as the best bands imo haha because I couldnt rank these.
Dante Nelson - April 17, 2008 05:19 AM (GMT)
Ah finally another Beatles fan! Besides them, I like Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and Led Zeppelin. I'm a big late 60's, early 70's rock fan.
Sariel - April 17, 2008 06:26 AM (GMT)
I like some Ledzep and Jimi, but its through second hand hearing...like friends will say "Oh hey dude check this".
Kradence, I'll have to check out some of those for sure.
Kradence - April 18, 2008 04:18 AM (GMT)
Also didn't post a favorite song from The Beatles just so you know it would have to be I am the walrus such a different song. Jimi Hendrix defiantly great idk I love music a lot so its hard to place them all. Panics new cd kind of sounds beatlish. Anyways yup good stuff
Sariel - April 22, 2008 04:16 AM (GMT)
So for the last few days ever since I messed my hand up, I've been listening to a lot of...meditation music.
Not New Age per say, but any particular song that strikes some spiritual cord with me.
Like right now, I'm listening to La Petite Fille de la Mer by Vangelis. It has such a serene yet haunting quality to it, i just keep listening to it...
Vangelis is known for this type of music though, so nothing out of the ordinary, artist wise.
Kradence - April 22, 2008 04:52 AM (GMT)
I know Coheed and Cambria have been around for a fair time but I just started listening to them. New list it is not top 6 bands not top 5 means I cant kick any of the bands I posted off. Favorite song from these guys Mother Superior
Dante Nelson - April 22, 2008 05:01 AM (GMT)
I just went and listened to La Petite... and I have to say it is really good. So soothing and relaxing.
Sariel - April 22, 2008 05:09 AM (GMT)
YAY, you don't think I'm crazy. Yeah I downloaded some other piano melodies as well...a few songs from some Italian with the last name Ludovico I believe? Anyways, really hits the meditation spot.
Coheed, I only heard of one of their songs ever, and although it wasn't exactly my cup of tea, it had great rhythm. Have to go check out more of their stuff on youtube then.
Dante Nelson - April 22, 2008 05:12 AM (GMT)
For relaxing piano melodies, I definitely advise Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. A little cliche with suggesting him, but it is worthwhile. Very relaxing, yet creepy if you have ever seen the movie Misery.
Sariel - April 29, 2008 07:25 PM (GMT)
Totally, thats one of my favorite, classical pieces. Such a sad tune, yet so relaxing.
Misery eh? Haven't seen that movie in a long time...its the one with the lady who kidnaps that author right?
Mmm, for some reason I can't get the Mass Effect ending theme outta my head. M4 Part II by the Faunts.
I always picture some cinematic sequence while I'm listening to it, like a mock battle, and then people trying to escape a blast or something...lol
Setepene - May 1, 2008 12:55 AM (GMT)
It doesn't seem to me like I'm gonna fit in too well here, but I'll give it a go anyway. While looking through everyone's preferences, I noticed that Vasto's would be the closest to mine.
About three years ago, when I started playing guitar is when I seriously began to consider music. I went for Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton, and all the classic rock type stuff. About a year later, I started getting into Metallica really hardcore like. I listened to them almost exclusively for an entire year, starting with their uber light stuff like "Nothing Else Matters" and "The Unforgiven." But by the end of that road, I was enjoying the power metal greats like "Battery" and pretty much anything from '...And Justice For All.'
My taste was slowly darkening, and it was at this point when a friend of mine introduced me to Avenged Sevenfold. This was before either of their last two albums, I think. "And All Things Will End" got me started. I really didnt go for the screaming at the time, but it very slowly crept up on me. The next year was the span of my screamo development period. I was soon listening to the entire 'Waking the Fallen' album. The next major push was All That Remains. This was near the beginning of last summer. They are a sick metalcore band with a perfectly distinct sound. They were the gateway to borderline death metal bands such as Lamb of God and Children of Bodom. Though it doesn't fit the description, Atreyu came in around the same time... all the popular stuff. Somewhere betwen all this came the heaviest nonscreamo metal to help fuse me into it. Pantera and Iron maiden kick major ass!
But I kept on developing. The final major push was when my stoner friend introduced me to Job For A Cowboy. The genre is called Deathcore. It's just insane. I almost couldn't get into it at the time, because it was so farther gone than any of the previously stated bands. But I just made it, and I now enjoy the heaviest hardcore insanity this planet has to offer.
Favorites include:
Nile... they sing of ancient egyptian everything, rarely branching out into horror works among other things...
Job For A Cowboy... They are still the heaviest band with the fullest sound... and some of the subject matter is just unsurpassable.
The Acacia Strain... For their angry emoness and the amazing emotion they portray...
Bleeding Through... for all the romantic tragedies and the anger they so awesomly portray...
Bring Me The Horizon... for the same reasons...
Despised Icon... cause his voice is the best instrument in the band...
Metallica, Pantera, and Iron Maiden, for bridging the gap and having a limitless discography of greatness...
I also like rap, though I am extremely picky, oddly enough. I also love techno, But hey, who doesnt? I seriously recommend Baltimore Club for their crude techno awesomeness!
Sariel - May 1, 2008 01:18 AM (GMT)
Hey, theres no reason why anyone wouldn't fit in around here.
I'm going to be checking out those bands for sure man. You can't say you dislike a certain genre just because you dislike a few bands, thats always been my motto. While I've never been particularly interested in metal, in any respects, I've found a few bands that I really connect with.

Oh my god, I agree with you on the Panic at the Disco sounding like The Beatles. You can distinctly tell of the influences there.
Kradence, what do you think of the other guy singing? At first I didn't like it, but its growing on me.
Vasto Duval - May 2, 2008 12:56 AM (GMT)
Just had my first Tears in Heaven test today in guitar class. Didn't do bad, but didn't do so great. For some strange reason, I just get nervous when playing infront of everyone, hands just don't perform as well. When I'm practicing and all, I can play it perfectly. At any rate, it was only the intro and the first two verses. Pretty easy to learn since it's very repetitive.
btw, if you don't know the song it's by Eric Clapton. great song and here's the vid:
Tears in HeavenIt's around the first 35-40 seconds I can play. Should learn the rest of the song by next week.
Dante Nelson - May 2, 2008 01:28 AM (GMT)
Oh Tears in Heaven is such a good song. It was beautifully written.
Hey, I wish I could play the guitar. When it comes to playing an instrument, I am terrible. I can barely handle Guitar Hero.
Vasto Duval - May 2, 2008 02:45 AM (GMT)
Yeah, I was absolutely horrid when I first started out. But really, it's all about the muscle memory and knowing your chords, kinda. I don't have my own guitar yet as I'm just renting one from my school, but as soon as I get some money flowing I'm getting one, probably a classical like the one I play.

I love Tears in Heaven. You should record yourself playing it and play it back to yourself (or post it here) its amazing how easy it is to learn when you hear yourself playing.
@ Guitar Hero I love the game.
Planning on learning Devil Went Down to Georgia for the guitar sometime! hehe
Vasto Duval - May 2, 2008 10:31 PM (GMT)
oh my
It'll be many long years before I'll be playing something like that. I don't think I have the right things to record anything on the computer. Don't even know what to buy.
Sariel - May 4, 2008 10:59 PM (GMT)
I've only played Guitar Hero a few times, and I don't have the game myself. Seems fun enough though, I just don't think I'll ever buy it.
Steve, if you have a video camera, you can record yourself and then upload the tape to your computer. Or if you have a microphone, you could just record the music and then upload it.

Yeah, just grab a microphone and get yourself a program called Audacity, you can record your guitar straight to that.
Its what I do, I find hearing myself play it helps a lot as I can find areas I can work on.
Salem - June 30, 2008 02:27 PM (GMT)
Coldplay's new album has a song that I like. Viva la Vida, its on the new iTunes ad.
Vasto Duval - July 19, 2008 01:44 AM (GMT)
Yeah, I don't have a video camera and I don't even have a guitar now. The one I had was only a rental from the school I went to. Been over a month since I last played that one. Recenty I was at my friends' grandfather's 80th birthday party. I tried to play one of the guy's guitar's there. It was horrible. Coudn't play nearly half as good as I used to. So yeah, I really need to get a guitar soon, when I get a job and some greens.
Sariel - June 11, 2009 10:20 AM (GMT)
For some reason I've been listening to a lot of Coldplay...like, pretty much every song they have, is now on my iPod. IDK, something about them relaxes me.
Even more so however is Ludovico Einaudi. Freakin genius piano player, just outstanding. Really takes the edge off watching the rain pour outside, whilst drinking a nice cup of coco.
Vasto Duval - June 17, 2009 12:51 AM (GMT)
Used to listen to them way back in the day. I'll probably check them out on the Tube.
I just recently got into a new band called Amon Amarth, a viking metal band. It isn't typically something I would listen to because I like to understand what they're singing, but there's something about them I like. Anyway, I heard a song of theirs on the Metal Massacre XIII album and I liked it. So, I checked out their newest album, Twilight of the Thunder God. Purdy good shit, so I downloaded the whole album. When I get the chance I'll make the purchase.
Favorite song of theirs so far is "Tattered Banners and Bloody Flags". I love the beginning of the song.
Salem - June 17, 2009 03:19 AM (GMT)
Steve you're too hardcore.
I recently got into a couple of bands called A Static Lullaby and A Day To Remember.
Vasto Duval - June 17, 2009 05:38 AM (GMT)
I know eh?
Believe it or not though, I'm not much into Hatebreed anymore. It's the same shit over and over again. They really don't have much melody if ya know what I mean. I listened to their new album, For the Lions, which is all covers of other bands. So yeah, I was hoping it might change my mind about them. It was terrible. Not a single memorable song on there for me. So I've decided that I'm probably not going to buy their new album.

Spinderfly - June 17, 2009 08:57 PM (GMT)
I like pretty much anything, actually. Except pop and country. D:
Don't want to write out my playlsit. I like Straylight Run, though. -w-
Vasto Duval - June 17, 2009 10:23 PM (GMT)
Man, I listen to way too much Red Hot Chili Peppers at work. That's all the guys will listen to. My buddy will plug his iPod into the speakers and put them on, and that's all what we'll listen to for the day. I"ve been able to put in my iPod, which is cool. Helps me get through the day.
But yeah, I'm not a huge fan of country either. I don't mind it here and there, same with pop. But the kind of music that I absolutely cannot stand is fuckin' techno or electronic. It bugs the shit outta me, ya know? Probably not... everybody likes techno.
Spinderfly - June 18, 2009 12:29 AM (GMT)
I know exactly. My friend plays it all the time on her speakers while we voice chat, and it drives me up the wall.
Have you heard of the band Second Person? I love them. They've been classified as "pop" by the invisible pigeon-holing society, but it really isn't anything but itself.
Vasto Duval - June 18, 2009 12:38 AM (GMT)
Nah, never heard of them. I'll have to check them out on the Tube.
