Pretty much as the title, posting because theres not a lot else to do at quarter to 2AM GMT.

Im just interested to know what the overall Musical interest of our fine website.

Personally, Im a metalhead.

Let the chaos ensue...

Basically anything, except hip hop/rap. I just don't get it.

Mid-1990s college alt-rock

or punk rock.

Largely pop punk/alternative like Alkaline Trio, Offspring and classic Green Day. Other preferences include classic rock like The Eagles, The Police, ACDC, and a bunch others I'm too last to name.

I just listen to what i like.
Except country(Unless it is ZZ top) I hate country

Erm, not all music is created by bands...

Classical is my real love (Vaughan Williams, Saint Saens, Copeland, Rachmaninov), along with film music (Zimmer, Williams, Morricone, TSFH) as well as a little 'classic' popular stuff.

Anything that sounds good to me. I'm a musical barbarian.

Bit of everything really as long as its sounds good as a tune or the lyrics carry a meaning. Most of my music love goes to heavy metal though and also viking metal, love that

I'm quite into Andrew Jackson Jihad at the moment...

Many things.
Metal like Alestorm, Deathstars and Blind Guardian.

Rock like Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin and the like.

And Epics such as TSFH/Thomas Bergerson, Ryo Ishido, Audiomachine.

My taste is quite a wide range.

Can't get into Dubstep, rap and similar type of stuff.

I like to pick the best from lots of genres, talented people make good music, but there is a lot of dross around. Like everything from breakcore to folk.

What was considered "alternative" in the 90's. Mostly mainstream music, some pop, Nirvana, Green Day, Offspring, that sort of stuff. I love Garbage. I've only ever been to one concert, and that was to see Garbage at the Roseland Ballroom.

I also had a friend get me into Bassnectar and Skrillex recently. It was a lot better than I had thought.

I also like some rap, but rarely, and only up until the point where 2pac was killed. Not that 2pac dying killed rap for me, just that's a useful milestone for when it kinda started sucking for me and never stopped.

Wow, musical taste...hmmm. I'm just going to list the names of bands/artists I regularly listen to.

Anamanaguchi (this is on right now)
Rage Against the Machine
Yoshida Brothers
AWOLNATION
Pendulum
Laurent Wolf
Ratatat
Macklemore
Run D.M.C.
k-os
Nas
Killswitch Engage

There are certainly others I've forgotten, but that is the gist of it.

I just recently discovered The Galactic Cowboy Orchestra and I'm going to go see them on Wednesday. I'm looking forward to it.

Instead of listing artists, I took screenshots of my current playlist:




A big mix, including psytrance, punk rock, alt rock, dubstep, techno, indie, instrumental, game music and classical.

Just about anything these days.

Generally, Classic Rock (Aerosmith, Genesis, Rolling Stones) and Adult Alternative (Black Keys, Mumford and Sons)

But I listen to a variety, including classical, rock, and some country.

As for what I know, I've seen at lest 2 documentaries on Genesis and 1 on Phil Collins back in the day.

Whatever sounds good to me.

What do I listen to? Where do I start?
Primarily, my "favourite" bands are Megadeth and Iron maiden, and I like some Metallica and Saxon... Also listen to a fair bit of GnR, but also Muse and Kasabian (the early stuff, preferably)
And there's a smattering of other bands too - White stripes, R.E.M, The Distillers.

Recently I've been listening to some Japanese stuff like SCANDAL - Shoujo S, which was the opening music in the Bleach anime. It's addictive...

Also have a keen appreciation for classical music - Planet suite and Ride of the Valkyries especially, and of course the LOTR soundtrack.

So yeah, a fair mix, basically I like anything that's dramatic and inspires my imagination - I hate (what I hear as) bland, repetitive music, which unfortunately precludes rap and modern pop from my tastes.

Overall, I'd call myself a Metalhead, just one who dabbles a bit

And I'd say I know Megadeth's history best, having watched an hour long documentary on it

Almost everything I listen to is some form of rock music (usually from 60s-80s although I sometimes listen to stuff from the 90s-2000s) which may sound limiting but it really isn't as rock music is one of the most versatile genres you have aggressive stuff (punk, heavy metal, hard rock, etc),

poppy stuff (rock, glam rock, etc), experimental ideas (art rock, kraut rock, experimental rock, etc), it can be simple (punk, folk rock, garage rock, etc), complex (prog rock, heavy metal, etc), trippy (psychedelic rock, prog rock, noise rock), atmospheric (blues rock, psychedelic rock, etc),

intellectual (art rock, prog rock, etc), I think you get the idea. That being said I try to look for bands who were innovators or were taking their style in a real creative way, so long as it's done in a competent or compelling way.
