Favorite music?

[mitsuman]

I'm all over the board. Techno (f*ck calling it EDM), classic rock, Tool (I won't put them into a genre because they are too bad ass), hip hop, drum and bass, newer stuff like Purity Ring, Sylvan Esso, classic country, and so on.

I like pretty much everything except for pop and new country (country pop). It's all shit.

I love Fugazi. And Minor Threat for that matter. Pretty important bands in terms of punk music, in my opinion obviously. I sadly haven't listened to these records in awhile though (I only have the first Fugazi record, X songs or something. And i have Minor Threat by Minor Threat, lol).

Lately I've been listening to a lot of Dinosaur Jr. I'm a fan of 90's punk/emo/alternative/weezer/whathaveyou so this band somehow escaped me for awhile.

A lot of my music interests can kind of be rooted back to skateboarding in a weird way. I, like most, loved the THPS soundtracks. So between those games and watching skate videos/parts all the time, I was always enjoying the music and digging further into the band or genre. Not that i skate very well, but I'm into every other aspect of skating.

But some of my top bands that i either go back to constantly or have been listening recently are:

Weezer (Blue Album and Pinkerton exclusively)
Cap'n Jazz
Dinosaur Jr
Minor Threat
Back to the Future Soundtrack
Rod Stewart (only "Young Turks" though)




Also, haven't there been multiple music threads? I guess topics get re-filtered every so often. Oh well!

FIRST OBSERVATION: there are way more fans of the music I like than at any time in the history of this forum. Crazy.

I like a ridiculous amount of genres/bands. I'd say my obsession with music is beyond video games because I am always listening to something.

FUN FACT: Only recently did I start to listen to video game music as "music" instead of simply "fake music". I always liked video game music, but it was very important for me to keep it distinct from "real music"

GEISE: cats and dogs have all the luck.

NULLITY:  every single f*cking song on the first two A-ha albums are gems. That's insane.

DALLAS: so, I like a lot of the punk/hardcore/postpunk stuff that came out on dischord records...I am guilty of loving Slant 6, Dag Nasty, Nation of Ulysses, etc etc.

GG ALLIN was a racist, scary f*ck, but he still intrigued me...but not enough to endorse him. I put him in the "real deal" category...he wasn't a trendy, wannabe racist misanthrope, he hated everybody. I think I still own the documentary about him (VHS) if any body wants it. I'd have to find it first.

David Bowie
Doo wop 50's 

All electronic music, including soundscapes/noise adventures

80's synth

Early thrash metal and stuff like OVERKILL (I love NJ)

Moss Icon, Indian Summer, Antioch Arrow

Born Against

80's synth pop. All of it. Did I mention that?

Bach. Motherf*cking Bach.

I could go on and on and on.

I won't.

This was 1% taste.

IRON MAIDEN
QUEENSRYCHE
KRAFTWERK
DEPECHE MODE
ZOUNDZ
CRASS

I agree about GG Allin. He was a f*cked up dude in just about every single aspect. I really don't care for his music, specifically because it's so f*cked up. I would not endorse him either, that's just another level of weird. As was GG, weird and f*cked up on a whole other level.

But i am, however, interested in this VHS you speak of. I've seen brief clips of him on youtube, but I'm not familiar with this documentary. If you could find it, let me know! In the meantime though, I'll just search around online when I'm feeling inclined to do so.

[cr8zykuban0]

yeah he was f*cked up forsure but he lived by his hardcore, f*ck the world lifestyle. he did what he want, dressed how he want and said what he wanted to say. his music and performances are not for the faint of heart!

Yeah i wouldn't really consider spreading shit on his face and raping women on stage a performance, but i guess there was probably music somewhere within that.

Este, I remember that about you now. You are a synthaholic like myself.  Erasure and Depeche Mode are among my personal favorites.  But normally, i sit around in silence.  Except in the bathroom... it's like the 1812 overture up in there.

I love Erasure and DEPECHE Mode.

[NightWolve]

Yeah, add me in the Depeche Mode camp, but didn't we already have a favorite music thread ? I thought I already listed that somewhere along with another fav, Duran Duran.

[HailingTheThings]

Anyone mention King Crimson yet?

In The Court of The Crimson King and In The Wake of Poseidon are wow.

[ParanoiaDragon]

Well, in this crowd, I stick out like a sore thumb, but, here's some stuff I've been listening to lately, yeah, I'm a nerd!

Saw Ran a while back, opened for MC Chris. Yeh. Not that bad.

[ParanoiaDragon]

Cool.  I only discovered him about a month ago, when I heard about his upcoming Command Mission album.  I ended up ordering all the cd's he had available, there's still a few he's gonna ship out in February after his tour.  He seemed excited when I told him about my Turbo CD Mega Man project, so I'm going to keep him in the loop once I've finished it, though, I have no idea if/what he knows about the Turbo.

Gotta love discovering and falling in love with an artist, been there. hehe.

I'm sure he knows about the Turbo, most "Nerdcore" rappers are "'bout it - 'bout it" when it comes to using the internet and gaming.

Where the hell did you get a Cap'n Jazz shirt? I had no idea those even existed! hah i just thought they made them when they were a band, 20 years ago, and were now lost.
