What Styles of Music do you listen to?

[xaisen]

i'll listen to anything as long as they don't scream, shout or talk to a tune
mainly bhangra (punjabi music) but also into super eurobeat, japanese and catchy songs like fool n final - yeh dooriyaan i love that song

[Thingey]

Who here [besides me] listens to Techno (ie Ministry Of Sound)

[Jechtsphere]

I mostly listen to punk music, I love it and have for a while.

The speed pumps me up and makes me go crazy lol.

[Honda Boy Techy]

Many Kinds. My favorites are Progressive Rock (Rush), Progressive Metal (Queensryche, Pagan's Mind, Dream Theater, Dragon Force), and other various forms of rock/metal.

Ever since I picked up the Initial D 4th Stage Sound Track, i have developed a taste for Euro-beat/Dance. That crap gets you pumped for for the track and it's great for just drivin. I've also have formed an interest in Jpop and Jrock. I have a load of anime theme singles and I listen to more than just the themes. I listen to other songs with them too. I really do like abingdon boys school and Kosaka Riyu now along with a few others.

Despite being born and raised in Tennessee (by parents and grandparents who too were born and raised in TN), I hate and I mean I HATE with a passion, Country Music. I just hate it. Annoying, stereotypical, "hey I'm a redneck and I'm gonna sing about it" country. BUT, I love Bluegrass. Go figure. Many think my country accent does not suit me at all since I'm a Honda drvin, computer nerd that listens to metal all the time.

The music I listen to is really spread out depending on my mood. I absolutely adore Tool and A Perfect Circle because of the lead singers voice and amazing lyrics, one of them being Progressive Rock/Metal and the other being Alternative Rock. This may leave the impression that I solely listen to this kind of music, however that couldn't be more wrong - I also listen to Trance and Techno and I also maintain a healthy relationship with Hardcore bands, I even listen to a few Emo bands and Christian Emo bands(which might sound bizarre as I avoid Christianity and won't have any part of it). I also listen to several Heavy Metal, Death Metal and Progressive Metal bands such as Opeth, As I Lay Dying(though might be defined as Christian Metalcore?), Behemoth, The Berzerker(Grind Metal?) or Blood Bath. I'm not done yet, I also listen to several Electronica artists like Aphex Twin, Cex, Capitol K or Bichi - Although some would call that IDM...

Let's just say I like to keep it spread depending on my mood ;P

[Simplex]

I mainly listen to various forms of Rock. I don't like Metal or Emo, so those I stay away from. I listen to Trip-Hop, Electronica, and Classical as well.

Some of the bands I like are:

the pillows
Pixies
Muse
Cake
Radiohead
Portishead
Aphex Twin
Stereolab
Modest Mouse
Built to Spill

So you get a rough idea of what I listen to.

[reisan]

Metal and some jrock of course

[DarkBlood]

Well for me it is Metal, the more raw versions of metal like Bloodbath(swedish one) and Putrid Pile.
Though I also listen to metal with harsh vocals and such like Kalmah, Wintersun, Ensiferum, Skyfire and many more.

[GutZ]

Good hiphop/rap music!

Talib Kweli
Mos Def
Public Enemy
MF Doom
Dead Prez
Blackalicious
etc

[Kiva128]

I listen to Jrock/Jpop and anime/game OSTs for the most part. Lately I've been listening to more American music due to getting an electric guitar and not finding any good tabs for Jrock bands.

Bands I like:

Rock:

Asian Kung-Fu Generation
Ellegarden
L'arc en Ciel
Janne de Arc (a few songs only)
The Back Horn
Green Day (4-5 songs)
Dragonforce

Other:

Maaya Sakamoto
Yoko Kanno's work is very nice as well.
Shimokawa Mikuni (FMP openings ftw!)
OCRemixes (Chrono Trigger/Cross ones are nice)
Lee Kyung Won (Not really an artist per se, but he does damn nice guitar covers)

[Anime_Manga_Freak]

I listen to all kinds but mostly rock i guess

[Rice3]

i dunno, everystyle is fine for me

though i have a slight hate for jazz

[Medic]

Currently, the songs I'm reloading:

Arctic Monkeys - Do Me A Favour
Yves La Rock - Rise Up
Snow Patrol - Signal Fire
Travis - Closer
Ghetto - Top 3 Selected

[aki/kaze/shi]

Uh, I guess mostly rock. I call it mellow rock. Hehe, but I'm not familiar with terms to music. Or singers...or groups..and it's been this way forever. But I'm not interested in learning such things.
I listen to some Japanese music, mostly Gackt, and myco.(Changin' My Life) I like Gackt's "Last Song", and myco's "Eternal Snow" and "Smile".(I'm not sure if I should be calling her myco. But that's how I know her by.)
I like Nickelback, Hinder, Linkin Park, Evanescence, Within Temptation...uh...I can't remember if there's more. Usually helps me with my writing.

[Midorii]

Lately i'm listening a lot of classic rock, but i like all kinds of music.

Necroposting time!

Quite a long time has passed since my post in this thread was made, and as such I've been delving in a lot of different stuff. I've been brushing up my jazz collection, I've discovered the awesomeness of Dave Matthews and his band, and (the main drive behind this post) I've been getting more and more into metal. I once posted here that I disliked the heavier and darker versions of metal--well, now I've been listening a lot to different "darker" metal bands, and I'm certainly enjoying it a lot. Save for black metal (whose shrieks and overall disjointed melodies I can't seem to stand for now) I've been listening to a heavy dose of death, doom and goth metal, plus some improvement on my repertoire of power, speed and classic metal.

I don't know exactly what's the reason behind the sudden interest I garnered in this musical genre, but I'm certainly having a good time listening to things I never thought of in the past.

The other purpose of this necropost is to see what do the newcomers to AS think and, well, if any of the traditional members have been experimenting with other things, new for them.

I'm putting in my two cents.

Superb choices. You should also get GZA's Liquid Swords -- it's a real gem. I especially liked his pick of kung-fu movie dialogue samples.

Me? I listen to most types of music, a bit of pop, a selection of bling-free hip-hop, a truckload of movie score/sound tracks (to get a good imagination when beginning to write fanfics), classical, only one Utada, and all subtypes of rock music.

Sometimes when I need to go aggressive or in fight mode, it's either Hatebreed, SOAD, or a full load of punk music.

[ZeRoGravity]

Just recently gotten into classical music. Got interested thanks to Nodame and one of my friend is studying music so I ask suggestion from him. Now I always listen to my local classical radio station when I drive and when I'm on my pc.

Other music I listen to are Japanese mainly anime related but, I listen to other Japanese music but have no preference, just whatever sound good to me, HK Pop and some English.

[otakufamgurl]

cause im liking Rhianna and Chris Brown right now,, ^_^

[nanafan]

recently i have been listening to indie/alternative rock like rilo kiley( i think they are a new obsession), some country mostly johnny cash, rock beatles, john lennon, feist...
