The Music Thread, the official one baby

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.

Thanks for the input man, I'll be checking them out on Youtube.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

I just went and listened to La Petite... and I have to say it is really good. So soothing and relaxing.

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.

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.

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

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!

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.
