Favorite Music

My favourite music is the kind that sounds good to me :)

This excludes most country MOOsic, rap, modern pop, and anything I'm forced to listen to repetitively.

I think most of the best music was created between 1960 and 1990.

I have too many songs that I like to list them all, but too many of these songs also happen to come from bands that produce more ilk than good music so to say I like XYZ band would also be largely inaccurate.

I had a mission companion who was convinced that Linkin Park was the most influential band of all time... by far and away more influential than the Beatles.

I don't know why it was so hard for him to understand that no one would remember LP in a few years, but the Beatles will remain popular.

Okay, okay. Blues Bros. aside...

I actually do listen to just about everything.

Here's my playlist, grouped together-ish by genre, from this afternoon, which is a pretty good representative sample:

Nina Simone. Billie Holiday Buddy Guy. Ella Fitzgerald.

The Ramones. Slam Suzanne. Greenday

3oh!3. Black Eyed Peas. Maroon 5. Imagine Dragons. Avicii. Mumford & Sons.

Kanye West. B.O.B Snoop Eminem Sir Mixalot

Chris Young. Florida Georgia Line. Blake Shelton. Charlie Daniels Band. Carrie Underwood

Crystal Method. Chemical Brothers. Rabbit in the Moon. Daft Punk. Prodigy.

Journey. Led Zepplin. Carlos Santana.

Sublime. Grateful Dead. Phish. Bob Marley

Orff, Bach, Wagner, Delibes, Debussy

Sesame Street, The Muppet Show, Puff the Magic Dragon, Cars, Pink Panther

Squirrel Nut Zippers, Cherry Poppin Daddies.

Ellington, Benny Goodman

The Queens Own Highlanders, London Phil, MoTab

Bob Dylan, John Denver (I group these last 2 together in honor of my parents, who each hated the other person's "whiny" voice)

I just found a song called 'SAIL' by AWOLNATION. I love it. Loved it more when I found a TEN HOUR loop on YouTube. I just turn it on for background while I work.

I'm a rock 'n roll, classical, world music kinda gal, with too many fav artists to mention. Well, except for the genius Billy Corgan on his own or with Smashing Pumpkins.

I used to listen to Metallica, Rob Zombie, Alice Cooper, etc, as well as Aerosmith and the like.

My life has changed since then. Now it's Motab and classical. Occasionally I digress to some Skynyrd or Zepplin. Motab rocks way better. If only they could have sparks or flames fly out of the organ pipes......

I like BOTH kinds of music, round here. Country AND Western.

;)

Not that new-fangle Nashville stuff either--the real C&W--the Branson, Missouri tunes! :rolleyes:

Seriously, though--I love praise and worship music. Michael W. Smith, Chris Tomlin, Karie Jobe, Hillsong, Vineyard, Paul Baloche (sp?), etc. This subgenre of Contemporary Christian Music is not so much a remake of other music with Jesus lyrics, but rather an original sound, meant to usher the congregation into an intimate worship of the Lord.

Music is pretty much the backdrop to everything I do, whether its work, biking to work, cleaning the house, playing video games, going to the beach.

Spotify is the greatest thing ever.

I have playlists for just about everything except Hip Hop, Rap and Country. My main playlists are the following and I'll list the groups that make up the base of those lists.

Thought Rock (Moving Mountains, Lydia, Raised by Swans)

Post Hardcore (Tides of Man, Senses Fail, Bring me the Horizon)

Electronic (Crystal Castles, POLIÇA, Young Wonder)

Surf & Soft (Jack Johnson, Donavon Frankenreiter, Kalai)

Brit Rock (Coldplay, The Doves, Elbow)

Shoe Gaze (The Stone Roses, Ride, The La's)

Chill (Zero 7, Sneaker Pimps, Air)

Mountain Pass (The Cars, Steve Miller Band, The Eagles)

Indie (The Shins, Death Cab for Cutie, Arcade Fire)

French Chicks (Coeur De Pirate, Mélanie Pain, Alizée)

Irish (Lúnasa, Altan, The Boys Of The Lough)

90's Rock (Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Hoobastank)

80's (Pixies, The Smiths, Oingo Boingo)

Pretty Voices (Ingrid Michaelson, Lights, Emiliana Torrini, Twiggy Frostbite)

I just got off a huge Radiohead burnout and been listening to Chevelle 24/7 lately.

My favorite individual artist is Elliot Smith

My favorite band will always be Rush

I love that song, but I'm not sure I'd love it on a 10-hour loop. Just for fun, though, watch this goofy video, set to this song. It starts to get fun around 1:15, then again at 2:06. Totally random.

First and foremost will always be Rush, followed closely by Blue Oyster Cult.

I listen to a lot of rock and what is termed smooth jazz.

My currently most listened to playlist is a guitarist I discovered about a month ago: Buckethead. I don't like everything he has written, probably about 25%, but he is quite talented and I enjoy that 25% quite a bit.

I saw this. 100million hits???!!! I do like the girl's red/orange hair though.

Sail, dubstep version.

Most classical music.

I just barely got started. There's so much out there that I love. The only music I don't like is "filth". Meaning, I don't like the music to be too sexually graphic or bad language, or talking about killing someone, etc.
