Favorite Band / Group / Artist

[playafly187]

as far as rock goes, i love Disturbed and Godsmack. on the rap side of things, most all of the memphis rap is great ( Three 6 Mafia, Gangsta Blac, Playa Fly, etc etc)

how about you? what sort of music and artists do you enjoy?

[striker777]

Rush is my favorite group. May 26th in Nashville! Here I come!

Listen to Progressive Rock, Rock, Alternative, Techno(all genres)
Not much rap any more, and country, well it has to be a really good song.

[MASSiVE]

i like R&B, french hiphop, psychedelic goa trance and some industrial techno, but mostly i listen to DMX, to bad they stopped making songs :(

[techniq]

I listen to a very broad range (everything but country really). I like Dave Matthews, Linkin Park, Evanescence, Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty, to name a few (I just looked at my recently played songs).

[siq]

I myself have a wide range of music taste. i even like techno :shock:

[fstroupe]

Rock: 1955-1980, especially 1966-1975 and Southern rock, with a smattering of songs since then; Blues: 1900-present; bebop jazz; much Motown and Stax; pre-1980ish country; some classical. Some death metal (go figure). Anything involving a Hammond organ. I liked rap until the members of NWA actually started believing they were part of the gangs they were rapping about. I have yet to understand the point of techno, unless that point is to have background noise while screwed up on ecstasy. :wink:

I know, I'm old.

[KryoNexus]

if it's not country, i'll give it a whirl. usually though, i listen to linkin park, incubus, coldplay, DMB, live, etc

i agree with the techno comment. ive tried listening to that stuff and well, its just flat out annoying!

[striker777]

There are so many different styles/variants of the "techno" category. I'm mainly into the trance type. Really good melody's usually no vocals but not repititious which is what most people think about "techno."

[playafly187]

very true. the word 'techno' brings to mind idiotic teens at raves, poppin X, dancing with glo sticks and that repetative music over... and over... and over...

[siq]

i agree trance is the best. some of it is actually soothing. i listen to it alot off of shoutcast (shoutcast.com (http://www.shoutcast.com)).

[techniq]

I like techno, depending on the mood I'm in. I used to be listen to fatboy slim alot, as well as alot of no-name artists.

[Roadracer_4ever]

Fave artists/bands would have to include Van Halen, Sammy Hagar, Rush, Metallica(of course) and pretty much any other 80's metal band(except maybe Tesla)....actually...let me re-phrase that...DEFINITELY NOT Tesla...lol..remember seeing them open for 3 main bands in one summer...by the time they opened for Aerosmith, we were tired of em....actually fruited em off stage before they got 3 chords into their first song...lol...sorta feel bad for em, but hey...if ya suck, get off the stage!

Woohoo, another Rush fan!

[Roadracer_4ever]

Yup...grew up on the sounds of Rush and Yes and a few other such bands, and my list was definitely not all inclusive as to what else I like...lol...just didn't really feel like listing em all....pretty sure the moderators would have to post a seperate site just for that list... :twisted:

[silenze]

Here's the easiest way to examplify my broad musical taste (with the exception of country western and classical.)

This isn't including misc songs or others still on CD, heh. Some guns n roses, 50 cent, dynamite hack, e40, lit, lunatic calm, big pun, black rob, dead or alive, dmx, digital overdrive, coolio, commodores, beegee's, kc & sunshine band, (yes I like disco too), hive, hood rich, Ill Nino, everlast, oleander, jurrasic 5, joe, isaac hayes, primus, rob d, propellerheads, robert miles, rodney danger, sivlerchair, silke bischoff, sir mixalot, sound garden, stone sour, tonic, trick daddy, trust company, veritcal horizon, 1 single wu tang song.

Uhh.. I think that's almost it... heh

[techniq]

And you have the CD for all of those correct?

[silenze]

lol

Of course.

[techniq]

;)

[Roadracer_4ever]

Glad I don't have to worry about the RIAA breathing down my neck. The Canadian judicial system deemed it legal to share music online. The judge compared having a copy of songs on your pc and sharing them online to having a photocopier in a library right next to all that copyrighted, written material. Thus our ISP's don't have to reveal our personal information to the recording industry, and the recording industry doesn't have the right to snoop through my list of songs. How-ever, I do believe one should support the artists by buying their cd's.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you also have a tax on your CDRs?

[Roadracer_4ever]

Yup, we pay tax on everything up here. I live in a province with provincial sales tax as well as that lovely GST so I pay 14% on top of everything I buy....not that that would really make up any amount of difference on how much money the recording industry potentially loses by people not buying cd's each year. And I'm pretty sure those tax dollars don't go to the recording industry either. I think the judicial system here simply wants to avoid such incindents as a young girl of 13 or 14 yrs of age getting sued for 10-20 grand simply because she has a couple of hundred songs on a hard drive. Where the courts would prosecute here, would be if someone were making illegal copies for re-sale and personal profit, selling them as "an original" copy. Simply sharing files would not be for profit by any means.

[mtfresh]

My favorite music is hardcore rap and my fav spitter of lyrics is the king of the gift to spit E-40 Fonzarelli. 8)

E-40... same guy that was part of No-Limit a while back?

[silenze]

I Hope E40 didn't sink that low..... he's best remembered from The Click... wolf tickets.. *gruuves*

[8bit]

Graham Bonnet with the song Warm Ride, disco rocks! :)

[Neo_Bui]

Slipknot :twisted:

Must be nice I pay an addidional 1% of taxes on my stuff. :P
Anyway I listen to Finger Eleven, Green Day, Da Rude, Daft Punk, John Williams, Bach, Bethoven, Run DMC (kickin' it old skool) Beastie Boys.
that's the short list.

[El_Seano]

Ive been listing to alot of Linkin Park lately. Propagandhi, Bad Religion, The Beatles are always staples on my mp3 player aswell. Basicly I listen to about everything excluding Non-'Weird Al' Polka and Country. No offence to any country fans, but I cant stand it.

[NO TACT]

First Album every bought: LED Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy

First Concert: Rush - 2112

Favorite bands:

70's - Kiss
80's - Rush & Iron Maiden
90's - Alice In Chains - George Winston (What a contrast there)
00's - All the stuff I ever listened to. I lean towards the aggressive metal attitude, bl;ues (Robert Cray) as well as the Windham Hill artists as favorites. Rap - Not too much. Newer Pop Music - Not at all.

I really like the White Stripes music. I think it is a nice fresh sound that has roots in the blues.

Ordered from BMG yesterday:

Megadeth
The System Has Failed D154200

Judas Priest
Demolition D141303

Tori Amos
Tales Of A Librarian: A Tori Amos Collection (1 CD/1 DVD) D251676

Yes I buy my CD's.

MP3List (http://pages.sbcglobal.net/spazmodic/MP3List.html)

[Caj Darkmoon]

Current iTunes collection is 295 songs, 19.9 hours, 1.11 GB, and all of it's legal. I trashed my downloaded music this last fall, because I decided that I didn't want to do it knowing that I shouldn't be. :) No, not because of the RIAA, but because I didn't think it was right.

Anyways, favorite bands are Kutless and Jars of Clay. You might know the second, but I doubt anyone knows the first. If you do, mad props.

[Lunoko]

Too early...

[Killfire]

I listen to metal and classical piano. Kind of a weird mix eh? Favorite band is Symphony X. Their greatest song has to be The Odyssey.My favorite composed is Nobuo Uematsu.

[Overclocked Dirtbike]

Symphony X is Greek, like me. But my favorite band must be Rammstien. Don't ask.

[privatedonut21]

Nice, Uematsu did the music for FF, right? That guy is a total genius. Only game music I would listen to out of the game.

[Killfire]

Yeah he does the FF music. If you like it you should check out The Black Mages. They take the FF fight songs and play them in a rock theme they are pretty awesome. As for Ramstein(sp?) I dont care for em too much. I like to be able to understand that the singer is saying.

[Overclocked Dirtbike]

No, it's Rammstein. "I" before "E" concept not present here, but errorred in first post. Learned some German in college, forgot it now.
