Music

What kind of music do you listen to? Which artists/bands are your favorite(s)?

I'm a big fan of O.A.R. They're an alternative rock band that I'm sure the majority of you have never heard of. I like a lot of alternative rock and chill music. Not a huge fan of the whole screaming thing.

I've been listening to the new Bruce Springsteen album recently. The top track on the CD is Radio Nowhere which has been release publically -- it's a good song. I also like Livin' in the Future.

So what do you like?

Radiohead
Cold War Kids
Arcade Fire
Bright Eyes
Phish
Silversun Pickups
The Killers
The Frames

Indie rock mostly but with a deep respect for the classics from all genres.

Im really into anything someone put a lot of time to, whether its popular or independent. 'The bands Ive been listening to lately include:
The Mars Volta--unique prog band/psychedelic
Sparta--theyre okay
The Fall of Troy---an eclectic rock band
Portugal the Man
Mac Dre- Bay area legend
Tool- cmon u gotta know tool
Sublime
War
Buena Vista Social Club---from cuba...my favorite song being chan chan....
The Steve Miller Band---take the money and run=D
Gill Scott-Heron---poet and vocalist from NYC I believe....jazz/funk
and hella others.....

Smashing Pumpkins, Tool, John Lennon, Pink Floyd, Godsmack, Blue October, Flyleaf, Jon McLean, Eminem, Oasis, Orgy, A Perfect Circle, Staind, Thrice, Linkin Park, Green Day, Breaking Benjamin, Flyleaf, Counting Crows, Flogging Molly, Deftones, Alanis Morisette, Jimi Hendrix, The Clash, and so many others I can't name right now. I really just like every kind of good music. Despite my favorite bands, I mostly listen to oldies stations

-Jazz (especially Wes Montgomery & Ronny Jordan)

-Gospel

I also listen to Linkin Park, Rage Against the Machine and some Rap to get me throgh my workouts.

I've been to an OAR concert before. They're pretty good - kind of have a jammy sound that I like. We have a local band that sounds just like them too.

This is my list:

Johnny Cash, Pink Floyd, Tenacious D, AC/DC, Moe, Boston, Bob Dylan, The Allman Brothers, Simon & Garfunkel, Bob Marley, 3eb, Counting Crows, Incubus, State Radio, Live, Phish, Jimi Hendrix, Afroman, Dave Matthews, Death Cab, Joe Walsh, The Eagles, OAR, The White Stripes, Modest Mouse, Roy Orbison, Minus the Bear, Brand New, The Warhol Crowd, Ben Folds, Lil Wayne, Biggie Smalls, Toby Keith, Garth Brooks, Bobby Darrin, Coldplay.

I listen to the whole gammit on my Sirius Radio.

My favorites are Jazz and Classic Rock.

For some reason I have been listening to Rush and Old School Korn lately?

I'm the oldest young guy you'll ever meet when it comes to music.

Oldies 50-60's. Some 70's.
-Temptations
-3 dog night
-CCR
-Beach Boys
-Eagles
-Don Mclean (American Pie is his only good song)

Country and Bluegrass
-Garth Brooks
-Alan Jackson
-Chris LeDoux
-Toby Kieth (his older songs)
-Alison Kraus

Classical
-Band of Brothers Sound track
-Collections of most 17th century artists

Throw in a mix of some newer bands. If its a good song, I'll listen, no matter the genre. Nirvana, Offspring, Barenaked Ladies, Greenday, Sublime, Red Hot Chili Peppers etc.

Good stuff.

Rap.

Jay-Z
The Notorious BIG
2pac
Nas

Only the best, in that order .

I feel alien in this post, lol! I listen to SOME alternative rock. But, not enough for me to post about it!

Lol, I listen to some rap here and there. I like Biggie, 2Pac, and Jay-Z. Not a huge Nas fan. I like Kanye, too.

I will listen to Biggie, Jay Z and Lil Wayne but that's it. Everything else is just talking with a beat. I honestly don't know why some people listen to some of the hip hop thats out there. I mean Crank That Soulja boy? It has no consistent bass and the lyrics don't ryhme and the same verse is said over and over and over. In my opinion good hip hop is dead, but might be still alive in those who actually rhyme, like Jay Z and Lil Wayne.

I have been listening to a lot of Country lately. However, I do listen to everything.....except HARD Rap!!

any and all Punk
jack johnson
avril lavigne (im still in the closet about that one)

Yikes,this list highly resembles my own. Yet, I'll add:

70's
Tom Petty (A living thing that needs to be worshipped)
Steve Miller

Modern
Alanis Morissette
Matchbox 20
Pink
Goo Goo Dolls

Country
George Strait
Diamond Rio
Keith Urban

S928, I like Matchbox 20 also.

Lately, though, I've been addicted to DMB (Dave Matthews Band...I'm sure everyone already knew that). My favorite song is Crush. I'm pretty convinced Dave is a genius, although I'll never really be able to admit that because my friend, who's obsessed with them, has been preaching this to me for awhile and I've constantly denied it.

I listen to a pretty good variety of stuff. Actually, basically everything except Country, which I don't really mind.

Anything and everything except country music.

Love the Mars Volta they are AMAZING!!!

Have you heard Coheed and Cambria? New album comes out 10-23-07 (approx 1 hour MI time)

Jazz People/ DMB people check out Medesky Martin and Wood, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones and Keller Williams ALL MUSICAL GENIUSES! well in my humble opinion anyway

Thats about the same for me, except I love Johnny Cash.
