Hehe, cheers

It's been mostly late '90s-early '00s IDM, trance, trip-hop, house, some indy rock, some jams/roots and some progressive hip-hop for me the last few years, though I mostly shuffle the iPod for tunes, and it has quite a variety on it.

I'm always happy to hear:

Daedelus
Dabrye
Proem
Thievery Corporation
Flaming Lips
Modeselektor
Busdriver (some of it)
Lemon Jelly
Basement Jaxx
The Decemberists
The Beatles
Pink Floyd
Jimi Hendrix
Phish
The String Cheese Incident
Keller Williams (my #1 live act right now)
Devo
Modest Mouse
Tom Waits
Buffy Sainte-Marie
The Lab Rats

Some old favorites mostly getting the skip right now:

Pearl Jam
Johnny Cash
Underworld
Indigo Girls

Prepare for a long list:

The Beatles
The Doors
Led Zepplin
Pink Floyd
Alice Cooper
The Guess Who
Tom Petty
Oingo Boingo
The Police
Pet Shop Boys
XTC
Talking Heads
A little of the Human League
Siouxsie and the Banshees
Keren Ann Zeidel
Paolo Nutini
Hugo ("La Nuit des Baloncoires")
Warren Zevon
Norah Jones
The Rosebuds
The Shins
Death Cab For Cutie
Future of Forestry
Fischerspooner
Ladytron
Goldfrapp
White Stripes
Others. I like Rhapsody because it allows me to expand my horizons musically without needlessly wasting my money on crap CDs.

But a lot of the music I listen to is classical, my favorites being Dvorak, Brahams, Bach, and Beethoven.

I'll try to keep this short.
Alice in Chains- Layne Staley's death was a huge loss, but I love Jerry Cantrell, and am looking forward to their new work.
Soundgarden- Chris Cornell's voice, Kim Thayil on guitar, the whole band was amazing.
Rage Against the Machine- Sick grooves, aggressive vocals, some of the best videos of the 90's, they were the shit. Tim Commerford is my second favorite bass player.
Children of Bodom- How do you spell Guitar Hero in Finnish? Alexi Laiho.
Cream- One of the first and best power trios.
Pantera- I can't even begin to describe. Dime is my favorite guitar player ever, his tone alone blows my mind.
Down- Southern stoner metal. Phil Anselmo, the best vocalist ever.
Kyuss- Best stoner rock band ever. Josh Homme's best work, and John fucking Garcia on vocals.
Mastodon- Best mix of progressive technical stuff, and sludgy groovy riffs. Brann Dailor is probably my favorite drummer ever.
Opeth- All around awesome, everything they've done. And they are covering Would? on their new album.
Primus- Les Claypool is by far my favorite bass player ever. Such a unique band too.
Bad Religion- Best punk band ever. Greg Graffin just happens to have a great voice and be an amazing lyricist.
Daft Punk- Best at what they do.
Black Sabbath- You could have assumed by this point that they were missing from the list.
Michael Jackson- The King of Pop.
Stevie Wonder- Represents the R&B, soul, motown thing that I love oh so much.

I think that is more than enough for now. As you can see, I like good riffs, groove, and talented musicians. The range of genres and styles represented here isn't that broad (except for a few) but these are bands who's entire bodies of work I can listen to over and over again without being bored.

[QUOTE=Elwood;453588]OINGO BOINGO!!!!!!! QUOTE]

Haha, oingo boingo are the coolest. have you seen richard elfmans film The Forbidden Zone?

I generally listen to tall kinds of music, and Jack Johnson has so far been my all time favorite, but as of right now, I'm getting really into incubus. I've heard them plenty of times before, but I totally underestimated them until now. They're so good!

I listen to mostly metal. I'll like anything that's progressive. These are my favorite bands (list hasn't been updated in a while):

Thrice, The Fall of Troy, Between the Buried and Me, Opeth, Agalloch, Spiral Architect, Ayreon, Dream Theater, Ephel Duath, Gorod, Necrophagist, The Faceless, uneXpect, Thursday, Psycroptic, Devin Townsend, Cynic, Twisted Into Form, Gordian Knot, Wintersun, Ensiferum, Tyr. I'll give descriptions later.

I'm pretty sure I started out listening to Linkin Park, before I started playing guitar. I still listen to Hybrid Theory every once in a while. Then I moved onto post-hardcore/metalcore stuff (Thrice, Thursday, As I Lay Dying)... Then got into BTBAM and Opeth. After them, everything else followed pretty quickly...

Nice list Red. You should check out early At the Gates. Progressive melodic technical death metal to be precise. There is nothing more baroque on this earth.

I'm sure i've posted in this thread before, but it was a while ago, and my tastes have changed slightly since then i believe.

These days i'm listening to a lot of these:
AMM (free improvisation pioneers)
Meshuggah (prog metal)
Opeth (prog metal)
Guapo (avant-garde rock)
Merzbow (noise)
Skullflower (noise)
John Zorn (all sorts of crazy/experimental stuff)
Joanna Newsom (alternative/folk/pop)
Circle (rock/kraturock/experimental)
On The Virg (crazily technical rock/metal)
Pain of Salvation (prog metal)
Sigur Ros (post rock)
Poeta Magica (folk)
Thinking Plague (avant-garde rock)
Henry Cowell (avant-garde classical)
Astor Piazzolla (tango)

And i'm starting to explore EAI (Electro-Acoustic Improvisation) in more depth.

Thanks Never. I've heard a lot of good stuff about them, so I'll definitely check 'em out.

van halen, dragonforce, green day, the white stripes, cradle of filth, linkin park, nightmare, hammerfall, the ting tings, lil chris, jimi hendrix, white zombie, the backyard babies, scouting for girls, the foo fighters, coldplay, killswitch engage, kaizer chiefs, the scorpions, tenacious d, muse, kid rock, weezer, basshunter, the who, led zeppelin, black sabbath, the beatles and metallica.

I'm exploring such music as Opeth, Death, The Cure and Starbreaker.

I'm starting to like progressive and power metal, and classical music. They sort of coincide, I guess.

Specifically Dream Theater, Stratovarius, and Beethoven. I like the Phantom of the Opera soundtrack too.

Check out Symphony X as well. Prog/power metal with tons of classical influence.

Estradasphere
Secret Chiefs 3
Deserts of Traun
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum


Current favourites.

Aha! Deserts of Traun! I've been trying to remember the name of that project. Thanks!

Other bands are cool too, nice list.

I'm into Ska. My favorite bands are: Reel Big Fish, Streetlight Manifesto, Big D and the Kids Table, Mustard Plug, and The Strokes.

I mostly listen to all forms of rock and metal, with classic rock and plain heavy metal being my favorites. I also like jazz and blues, and pretty much anything else except for country and mainstream rap.

My favorite bands would be:

Queen
Iron Maiden
Rush
Black Sabbath
Metallica
Pink Floyd
Radiohead
Buckethead

Gotta love Blaqk Audio, AFI, and Bloc PArty. Some big leaps there.

Marilyn Manson, Cradle of Filth, Rammstein, Foo Fighters, Ben Folds, Guns and Roses... I do have a wide range of music that I enjoy.
