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!

I don't listen to music. Music evokes emotion. Emotion blurs judgement.

I do, however, enjoy Literal Music Videos.

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.

Post by: esteban on January 26, 2015, 08:50:55 AM
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.

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.

But basically, they released an album that compiled all of their EP's and Demos and whatnot (Boys 16 and 18 is on it). So it's kind of an album, more of an anthologoy. But they called it Analphabetapolothology (say that twice)

Oh yeah i forgot about that one. The cover of that has a little red wagon and has a super long name that follows Schmapin Schmazz.

I really like a lot of the other Kinsella brother bands like Owen, American Football, and Joan of Arc. But between the two of them (and the guitarist from capn jazz started The Promise Ring i believe) there's just so much. I can hardly keep up. All i know is that Cap'n Jazz is one of my favvsss

I was way too into music, including punk/post-punk/hardcore/etc./etc.

I actually did not like the name of the band "Cap n jazz" back in the day, but I was surprised that the music wasn't lame.

There were so many crappy records, amateurish records, goofy records floating around...it didn't take much for me to appreciate the semi-decent stuff.

For example, I really loved a few tracks from a band called "First five through", but I can't find the old EP and I didn't find anything on the interwebz last time I looked.

Anyway, I have a zillion random songs I like from those days when I would find a great song on a random record.

OneSpotFringehead and The Commonwealth...recently I have an urge to find songs by these two (related) bands. Must be the snow, or something.

Of all the elders, Bach is my favorite.

Though, despite his politics, Wagner is another biggie.

I prefer heavier, brooding pieces in general, so I'll take a Passion over a William Tell 99 times out of 100.

Man, where to start...

My teenage years were spent mostly listening to a crap ton of punk/hardcore/crust like: Crass, MDC, Conflict, 7 Seconds, Earth Crisis, Minor Threat, Discharge, Bad Brains, etc.

And my 20s (I'll be 28 this year) have so far been a mix of 80s and 90s post-hardcore/emo/whatever like: Sunny Day Real Estate, Rites of Spring, Jawbreaker, Mineral, Promise Ring, Texas is the Reason, Christie Front Drive, etc...

...Along with some new punk/pop-punk such as Lawrence Arms, The Menzingers, Masked Intruder, Pup, and a whole bunch of other crap.

And I'm one of the lucky ones that got to see Refused play a small venue in SoCal instead of having to pay a butt load to barely be able to see/hear them at a large fest in 2013.

My musical tastes are too huge to go into in great detail. If it isn't pop country or mainstream hiphop/R&B then I probably have a shitload of it.

Lately I've been really into progressive rock, which is something I always liked but never got crazy into. For the past couple of years though I've been super into Genesis and Yes, mostly.

Twice a month I'm on a dance music show on WCBN FM in Ann Arbor called Crush Collision which has been going for...longer than anyone can remember, maybe 20+ years? Rather than just play cookie cutter house or whatever, which is fine, I very much enjoy house, I'm usually pretty aggressive about cramming as much stuff in there as possible to make a good set. A while back I made a good one that had Michael Jackson, George Carlin, The KLF, Erasure, Lyrics Born, Royksopp, Bedrock, Pet Shop Boys, live synthesizer and more.

I also love Iron Maiden, Iron and Wine, Chet Baker, Doomtree, Francis and the Lights, Negativeland, Chumbawamba, and a bunch of other stuff. I just love music period.

If anyone is interested in hearing my...challenging...synthesizer pieces you can reach my Soundcloud at soundcloud.com/signofzeta

Grew up on GunsN'Roses, my all time favorite band.  Too bad what it has become is nothing like what it started as.  Appetite for Destruction, and the Use Your Illusions albums were genius.  I like a lot of music, Country, some R&B, Grunge Rock, ect..but GunsN'Roses is always my fall back to band.  Just wish Axl hadn't let his ego go to his damn head.... Best part of the band is gone, SLASH.  Without him, Axl is just Axl..not GN'R.

I prefer heavier, brooding pieces in general, so I'll take a Passion over a William Tell 99 times out of 100.


I agree.  I also like more uptempo classical.  For brooding pieces I have to say this is my favorite version of Danse Macabre.  Conducted by Arthur Fiedler and performed by the Boston Pops.


For upbeat I love the Hoe-down segment from "Rodeo"  by Aaron Copland.  It has to be one of the most fun songs to play on the violin.  I still play it from time to time on my violin.  I also have a soft spot for western themed classical pieces.

The past 18 years of Dimmu Borgir makes me sad.  Enthrone Darkness Triumphant was the last good album.  When Tjoldav left on drums I sort of lost interest.

I agree, but for me it has been always Old Man's Child > Dimmu Borgir anyway. Galder is exceptional. He is a -unique- band of his own.
