Me, I love 2 kinds of music. I have 2 sides to me, one is death/heavy/black metal. And one is classical/Instrumental kind of music.
My favourite band right now has to be "Godspeed You! Black Emperor" (GY!BE) which is a weird name yeh, but then again the band is too. They havnt revealed any pictures or names of any band members, why? They make music for the love of music, not for profit. Their style is very very unique. Their an indie band too

Some of their songs are 2 hours long, some are 20 minutes. They have their own styles and set their own limits. But then again if no one ever breaks the limit, how do you know where the limit is?

Give em a listen here:

I like mostly Hard Rock / Heavy music mostly, but not neccassarily mean I dont like other genres. If it sounds cool, then I'll most likely like it

A few of my fav bands are: Black Sabbath, Metallica, Guns And Roses, Velvet Revolver, Pink Floyd, Joe Satriani, Slash's Snakepit ( Im a huge Slash Fan! ), Gorillaz, Ugly Kid Joe, Extreme, The Eagles, Huey Lewis And News ( Power of Love "Classic" ). To name just a few.

Hello again guys! :]
I'm a musician (I play ~3 instruments), so basically, I like any music that I can't play, or that takes some kind of musical talent to pull off and play.

I prefer (genre-wise):
- Classical
- Jazz
- English Folk
- Eastern Folk
- Classic Rock (Anything 1960-1981 pretty much really)
- Demostyle ;]
Anything ~1200A.D.-1981A.D I like. Nothing newer. Down with modern styled music and their non-musicianship!!!

Artist-Wise:
- Miles Davis
- Charles Mingus
- Pink Floyd
- John Coltrane
- Mozart
- Jethro Tull
- Rush (Too cool.)

C'yall later :] 'N good luck on your coding/art/music

Hi!

I mainly listen to Eurodance (the actual tracks and of course the 90s stuff). Pop/Italo Muzak from the middle 80s and sometimes Rock and Metal. My favorite Bands are Roxette and Gyllene Tider.
And sure, all kind of C64 and Amiga Music.

What I listen varies in my mood. I can't really decide..

Usually, I am fan of rock, classic, hard or progressive, a bit of metal, also lately fan of industrial/EBM/electronic sounds. I also like a bit some hip hop/rap stuff. Some random groups I like, Pink Floyd, Dire Straits, Bon Jovi, The Cure, Metallica, Going Through, Anathema, Apoptygma Berserk, Assemblage 23, Sigur Ros and even GSYBE! too (The last two were introduced from my brother who is a great fan of them. I liked them so I listen to them too at times).
I had found even myself listening to some catchy tunes in pop and other styles, like madonna or natalie imbruglia songs, or others I don't remember right now but are in a random MP3 folder

I am preety diverse in liking, but I wasn't much into music listening and never was a fan of a particular group/genre. Those are some of my likings though..
Oh, and demomusic too of course

Favorite artists: Skaven, Purple Motion, Lizardking, Big Jim, Jogeir, Lluvia, Hunz, Clawz, Radix, Elwood and many more I forget right now..

I like the seattle scene when it was hot. Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Toad the we sproketetc. I also like (old)newwave stuff, like Fra lippo Lippi, The cure, Depeche Mode, u2, simple minds, etc. But my tastes in music seems to ba varied because I also like Madonna, Mandy Moore, seal, the coors, Saliva, tatu, babylon zoo. For democene music I think the best so far is "Champolion est un Pede" by traven and ethos9. :*)

My favorite band of all times have to be Depeche Mode, but I am very diverse in my taste of music and listen to a lot of different genres like: R'n'B, Dance, Techno, Pop, Country(the new stuff), Electronic, Trance, Classic (in the like of Sarah Brightman), Modern Jazz, well just about anything except Heavy Metal, Classic like Mozart, Polka, Punk and Weird foreign world music

I am a big time fan of Amiga style music ofcause and have an extensive mod collection that I listen to every now and then, mostly when working on demos, which I haven't done much lately unfortunately.

I am more into Industrial/Darkwave/EBM/Futurepop/etc. these days. I have them in my MP3 to listen during my army duty and search for more infos on the genres, history and download stuff from Emule. I am currently a big fan of VNV Nation.

Shockwave · « **Reply #16 on:** September 30, 2006 »

When you say industrial, do you mean stuff like Ramstein? I am quite into that myself too.

taj · « **Reply #17 on:** September 30, 2006 »

Goth and Abba, which when I think about it, should worry me. I'll put it down to my artistic temperament.

Shockwave · « **Reply #18 on:** October 01, 2006 »

I'm trying and failing to imagine Abba dressed up in goth gear and black make up.

Optimus · « **Reply #19 on:** October 04, 2006 »

Well, that too. Rammstein is an industrial metal band I think. I haven't heard much of this band yet though except from the classic Du Hast

VNV Nation, Apoptygma Berzerk, Assemblage 23, Covenant, Colony 5, Melotron are some of the bands from these genres whose songs I currently like.
