Hey guys! I just got curious about what kind of music everyone here like :D.
Personally I'm a big fan of Coldplay and Saga (Yeah, there's many bands called Saga, but I mean the Saga on the 70's top lists =P,) and I wanted to know what you're interested in =).

Heavy metal and classical. My current favourite bands are Melechesh and Ordo Draconis, my favourite composers Hindemith and Novák. I have also been listening alot of Creedence Clearwater Revivale lately.

Jazz electronica Fusion, with some swedish Gangsta swing and the occasional slice of Cake. Also anything about mad science.

Video game music is awesome, as well as power metal, especially the sort of stuff Nightwish does.

I also love music that defies the instruments it uses, doing amazing stuff with instruments traditionally viewed as incapable of it. VVVVVV's music WOULD be a good example, but chiptune/8bit's capabilities have already been reasonably demonstrated over the years. So instead, I'll show you the Mardek series boss music. I can't believe what this one guy does with the stock midi instruments. The ones used whenever you play a midi file in your browser. THOSE instruments.

I only really love Video Game Soundtracks. I am spoiled.

I'm listening a lot to Dream Theater lately :)

Octavarium is my favorite track at the moment.

Genre wise i enjoy Old School Rock and Melodic Metal? :)

And when i'm in certain moods, reggae and dubstep appeal to me.. Though it's kind of hard to find good quality dubstep.

EDIT: Youtube links can't be embedded?

I'm like itamarcu, most of the music i listen to comes from video games.

And, kasper - they don't autoembed, you have to put the video code (the part after /watch?v= and before any ampersands) into youtube tags.

I don't really listen to music all that much anymore. When I do, I tend to devolve into my high-school self, so mostly a lot of hard rock, alternative, and metal.

Granted, the only songs I've listened to in the last few months has been from the RHPS soundtrack.

Everything and anything from big band to noise rock and hardcore techno, with a special love for glam rock and funk.

I like to listen to anything technical, skillful, or beautifully complicated. There are some sentimental tunes I remember from being young but I know they're not good music. I suppose that's just it, good music. Push the wall back. The common banality of any genre of pop music has no effect on me. I feel like a mental deficient when I'm in the minority among people and I just think most things are boring. In a lot of cases this tendency leads me to jazz and electronic, or even unpredictable funk but there are outliers abound.

I was quite glad FC posted a thing about tool last fall. It was quite a bit of vindication, as Lateralus is a personal anthem of sorts. A funny thing I never mentioned back on that old topic was that particular track's vocals (and perhaps percussion?) move up and down with the golden ratio. A little off topic here but- (1 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 5 - 8) .... (black - and - white are - all I see - in my in.fan.cy - red and yel.low then came to be) It continues through the song and some broken parts suggest missing verses. A little post-easter egg I guess.

Two Steps from Hell, Nightwish, Sirenia, Enya, Loreena McKennitt, Within Temptation.

Depends on my mood. To Glory by Two Steps is my sort of default Writing/TF2 music. The complexity of the piece really appeals to my ear.

I like most bass music but I don't listen to much else. My favourite artist at the moment is probably Ephixa.

Gargantuan_Penguin · Post by **Gargantuan_Penguin** » Thu Apr 12, 2012 1:44 pm

Avril lavigne, the veronicas, enya, basshunter, the portal soundtrack, nox arcana, transsiberian orchestra, most 70's and 80's music, iron maiden, nightcore, phantom of the opera, gym class heroes.

I will agree on that one, except the jazz thing, but not classical jazz, but jazz-blues (I know there is an intelligent word for it, but I don't remeber it :P)

Just today I found out about Klaypex, they've got some of the hardest dub out there!

I know it's cliche but that's the way it is for a reason. I like good music. I can get behind any genre with a talented artist behind it, be it rap, punk, country western, etc. In the end it all has the same core math behind it and if someone can grasp the mechanics, I'll usually be excited to see what sort of spin they put on it.

Pseudosavior · Post by **Pseudosavior** » Thu Apr 12, 2012 7:54 pm

I like to think I have a really broad range of music. My range goes from Extreme Metal genres to some Pop songs, to Jazz, etc...

It's mostly due to the fact that I'm putting effort into being a musician myself, applying for Berklee College after two years community college. I've been on concert percussion/keyboard percussion since 10 years, drumset since ~15, guitar ~16, and piano since this year. I've played in all of my school bands, sans marching, but I really enjoy my Jazz Band, which I would've done on drums, but we already had two percussionists, so I opted for piano.

My favorite genres are progressive types;
Progressive Rock:
Pink Floyd, Rush, Porcupine Tree, Styx, King Crimson, Transatlantic... Etc

Progressive Metal:
Dream Theater for sure, Tool, Between the Buried and Me, Animals as Leaders, Cynic, The Human Abstract, Opeth...

But I also love Classic Rock:
The Beatles, ZZ Top, Led Zeppelin, The Who, AC/DC, Eric Clapton, and so on.

I mean, my tastes goes further: love Jazz, especially funk, since it's so much fun to play on drums AND piano; Ragtime has been a favorite for piano pieces; I enjoy classical in situations; ska isn't my favorite, but I still dig it; grunge/90's alternative is possibly one of my favorite eras of music... I'm just sad I was only a small child in those days...
I like electronic music; Indie music; totally love punk and pop-punk (favorite punk band is The Wonder Years, too bad they're not known more); certain pop artists get me going; and hell, old-time country artists are fine too. Rap isn't my forte, really, but there are definitely some hip hop artists I like, as well as some pseudo-rappers who get my respect. Of course, golden-age hip hop is it's own genre, in my opinion higher than newer types.

Still, enough rambling... Basically, I just like music. It's my biggest passion, and if I don't do something with music in my life, I'll live a life of pure regret.

My favorite type of music is anime/videogame battle music, I've always liked the fast paced songs. I loved the music from Legend of the Dragoon with it's variety of different battle music, and I think each boss had a different sound track which was especially nice.

Post by **FlowerChild** » Thu Apr 12, 2012 8:23 pm

Yeah, my musical tastes are all over the place. When I was younger, the only things I wasn't really into were Rap and Jazz, and with time I've broadened into those as well.

I guess now the only thing I don't much care for is house, or dance, or whatever you kids call it nowadays, but even then there are exceptions to that like Crystal Method which I really dig.

Anything with a good, catchy, and/or memorable beat, and even then I like a lot of songs outside of that.
