Metal : System of a Down, Distrubed, Mudvayne, Avenged Sevenfold, Some Metalica, and old day Greenday(The Basketcase and Longview days).

Jazz : Anything big-band or saxaphone oriented.

[csmith9474]

Sister Machine Gun and Christ Analogue are among my faves. The latest stuff from Oz that I have checked out is Nonplus, and it isn't too bad at all!!

I enjoy too many performers and musicians to list here, but some favorites are Moody Blues, Yes, ELP, Genesis, Pat Metheny & Lyle Mays, Michael W. Smith & Aaron Copeland. I play keyboards in a worship band at church, and among the pile of synthesizers in my keyboard rig is the synthesizer for railfans....the Ensoniq SD-1!

Cool!

[GN-Rick]

bwilcox, have you ever heard of Triumvirat? A good progressive rock band
in the Yes and ELP vein. I'm into progressive rock, classical music and
certain New Age artists such as Kitaro, Jean Michel Jarre and
Trans-Millennia Consort.

The progression...

CLASSIC ROCK THAT LEANS TOWARDS METAL (Led Zeppelin, old AC/DC, old
Scorpions, old Rush, etc)

CLASSIC HEAVY METAL (Ozzy, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, etc.)

THRASH (old Metallica, Slayer, Exodus, old Testament, Possessed, Dark Angel,
Artillery, Overkill, Kreator, Sepultura, etc. HUNDREDS OF 'EM)

DEATH METAL (Morbid Angel, Grave, Obituary, Autopsy, Bolt Thrower, Carcass, Nile,
Immolation, Incantation, Krisiun, etc. HUNDREDS OF 'EM)

Other respected "extreme metal" forms for ME are GRIND (like Napalm Death), BLACK
METAL (like Immortal), DOOM (like Candlemass), etc.

It's a sickness. I'm a diehard METALHEAD (FOR LIFE).

Oh...and I hate rap. Did I say that?

Throw in some Bagpipes and highland drums also { really ticks off the people next door }. Godsmack Ect, and anything loud, thrash music like "six feet under". Can't stand country or rap for that matter.

Also can't stand these new whinnie bands that think their punk bands. Bands like....you know the whinner bands.

Heavy metal? Rap music (an oxymoron, by the way)? How about some real music - ever hear of Count Basie? Hands down the best big band ever assembled. It's simply impossible to listen to that driving swing and not smile.

My musical talents being a bit more, um, limited than Mr. Basie's. Here's my band: www.clownband.com

Yes, I know all too well who and what you speak of.

[Anonymous]

Give me some Hank Williams Jr, WIllie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, etc and I'm a happy man.

Also like southern rock and 70s rock.

If I'm playing it...I like it. That means everything from light jazz to the heavyest metal disney songs you can think of! (Yea, my friends and I took "Under the Sea" from "The Little Mermaid" and turned it into a very heavy metal song [}:)]

Hehehe you'd like a punk band called the "Dickies" they did punk covers of 'Silent Night', 'Nights in White Satin', Sabbaths "Paranoid' and the even the TV themes from 'Gigantor' and 'The Banana Splits'. fun stuff!

Personally everything from Beethoven to Black Flag

...exceptions being anything Disco, Yanni, and Micheal Boulton which are treated like Bird Flu[xx(]

[Jetrock]

The Dickies were great. "Stukas Over Disneyland" and "We Aren't The World" are faves.

My tastes are fairly broad and not too conventional.

Sixties: The Mothers, Velvet Underground, Stooges, Black Sabbath.

Seventies: Hawkwind, Dead Boys, Sex Pistols, Carpenters.

Eighties: Iron Maiden, Black Flag, Minor Threat, Bauhaus, NWA, Death in June.

Nineties: Ministry, Babyland, Coil, Skinny Puppy, Chemlab, Public Enemy.

Oughts: Stromkern, Metallux, Combichrist, Turbonegro, Funker Vogt, Project Pitchfork

I am also heavily involved in the noise/experimental music community: a few months ago I did a live performance based on modifying and oscillating the sounds from a record of steam locomotives and thunderstorms--using a subwoofer, I was able to simulate, to some extent, the kind of guttural thrumming sound you get from standing near the tracks. Any railfan who likes to stand close enough to feel the train going past (but far enough away to not be in danger) knows that feeling...tough to simulate!

[Anonymous]

Ughh. I HATE country music, and pop for that matter.

[Anonymous]

If I am doing modelling, I like to listen to some jazz, funk, or swing, such as )in no particular order).....Average White Band, Count Basie, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Afro Cuban All Stars and sometimes a bit of Barry Manilow....[:I]...oh dear....

Regards,

Stephen

My favorites are
Hip hop- NWA, Eminem, The Notorious B.I.G., 2pac, DMX, Puff Daddy/P Diddy/ Diddy, The Game, The Beastie boys, Chamillionare.

Other- Depeche Mode, Weird Al, Bob Marley, Johnny Cash.

[warner brook]

i think the question was what kind of music do you like or listen to.i believe rap comes under the catagory of odious urban decay.my ears are ringing already.

[304live]

released 7 indy albums of my production and have been featured on about 40 cd's ... did a track with Pitbull and 6'6 240 (signed to New South/Purple Ribbon) last year...

I'm another classical aficionado.

I also enjoy certain "golden oldies" --- anything from about 1958 to 1964

[TrainFreak409]

I listen to pretty much anything and everything. I try not to discriminate when it comes to musical tastes.

However, I listen to very little rap, hip-hop, punk, and very heavy hardcore metal.

My main music of choice is Country, followed by Classic Rock and Oldies. However, I do listen to classical quite a bit...It's great to work to.

And since we use Easy Listening pieces, like Michael Bublè and Frank Sinatra, at Bose...I've been kind of hooked on Bublè recently. Great older music. [tup][tup]

Aye, me too, and as a matter of fact, the only reason I have it is GN-Rick there! Our musical tastes run quite close together. Akin to him, I like classical, prog rock, classic rock, and the Buena Vista Social Club. Dunno what genre they'd be...

[Anonymous]

Wait...I forgot to add that I LOVE Public enemy's duo with anthrax! That CD was awesome!

[Russorgan]

For me, it's Johann Sebastian Bach.
I listen to and play lots of other music but Bach is the best.
It's full of joy and constant energy.

[jfallon]

Rock, country & western, blues, just about everything except top 40 pop junk. I especially like Celtic music. I'm a big fan of Afro-Celt Sound System, blending Celtic, real African, electronica, and whatever else strikes their fancy.

[Anonymous]

My musical taste is VERY broad. I grew up in the 60's 70's. The first music I remember listening to was the Beatles, to this day they are still a fave of mine. In my teens I was turned on to Led Zeppelin ( without a doubt, hands down my Favorite) Pink Floyd is also a fave. That being said I like rock from Aerosmith to ZZ top.
However, I also grew up Italian so if it's Frank's Thanks ( a Philly thing) I can listen to any Frank Sinatra my wife loves to hear me sing Frank tunes.
There are a few country artists I like. I can also get lost in a good Beethoven or Tchaikovsky symphony. Bagpipes and drums have a unique sound that get the juices flowing also.
To sum up this response anything but RAP !! BLECH!

[myred02]

Any type of rock (and a little country)

The Classic and/or metal:
Metallica, Pantera, Motley Crue, AC/DC, Guns n' Roses, Kiss, Skid Row, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Megadeath, Motorhead, Iron Maiden, Van Halen, Rob Zombie, Pink Floyd, Aerosmith, CCR, Led Zeppelin, and Slayer to name a few.

The newer stuff:
System of a Down, Disturbed, Godsmack, Green Day, Korn, Papa Roach, Mudvayne, Static-X, Staind, Linkin Park, Shinedown, Nine Inch Nails, Chevelle, Avenged Sevenfold, Slipknot, and Saliva.

Country (just a few):
Waylon Jennings (Dukes of Hazzard Theme), Montgomery Gentry, Kenny Chesney, Willy Nelson, and Johnny Cash.

Rap:
JUST KIDDING!!!

In my opinion, there's no feeling like crusing down the interstate at a leisurly 120 mph in a modded '02 Chevy Camaro Z28 listening to "I Stand Alone" by Godsmack!
