What music are you hooked on?
 

Have you recently started listening to a band or a type of music that you never thought you would?

I just started listening to video game remixes. I thought they would be stupid, but a lot of them are really good! Especially the ones from Ocarina of Time.

Although I've liked most types of rock music since I first started listening to music, I think recently I've been slowly converting myself to a metalhead...I've always liked metal as well, but it seems like that's mainly what I listen to lately...Been starting to like some of Metallica's older stuff (Cliff Burton era), also starting to appreciate Ozzy Osbourne a bit more, and even introduced myself to Pantera...

Suprisingly, I havn't been sold over by The Darkness yet...At least not since I've heard about Judas Priest making a comeback with Rob Halford making a re-join, and possibly a new album...Judas Priest is the best thing in metal to have come from Great Britain, and even the retro metal-styled band The Darkness just look like wannabes in compairision :rolleyes: :D

The Darkness are odd. It's like they decided there aren't enough hairbands nowdays and started the ultimate hair band to spite eveyone.

That said they are wierdly addicting.

underground trance and hiphop

Industrial synth pop. Been listening to a lot of that lately. I found a shoutcast stream that focuses on melodic tracks of the genre. Good stuff :)

I have been listening to a lot of dance music lately. Not sure why. I don't actually dance, but I like the music I guess.

Dark Wave -

Camouflage, Depeche Mode (early years), Clan of xymox

I play these bands so often lately that even the Mrs knows them apart already. :D

Same as the above........... darkwave

Clan of Xymox, Camouflage, Assemblage 23, Mesh, Wumpscut, Curve.

This time last year I was hooked on electroclash (in a big way). How the times have changed.

I've been almost completely hooked by Melodic Death Metal lately.

Arch Enemy, At The Gates, Dark Tranquility, In Flames, Insomnium....

most recently, moloko.

american analog set.
jim o'rourke.
dirty three

Trance, vocal trance.. been at it for some years now. I've been progressing into vocals ever since last summer.

As of now, I'm hooked on --

Placebo
Tool
Flaw
A Perfect Circle
and
Deftones

I'm in an old punk phase right now. The Sex Pistols, The Ramones, The Clash, etc.

i've been quite fanatic with Blues-rock the last few years....

Ah, those wonderful solos

i can't stop listening to the 4-track, 20 minute Dillenger Escape Plan/Mike Patton EP that i bought months ago. it's so. damned. good. so i guess you could say i was hooked on that.

as for music that i never thought i'd like, i dunno... i try not to dismiss anything...

Just ended a psychadelic phase and lurching into the blues again. This was kicked started by suddenly getting the need to listen to Physical Graffitti again (a damn fine album, by the way, but I don't I need to tell nybergh that. ;-) ) Anyway, just listening a double cd of Robert Johnson tracks.

Math Rock!

I like math metal, could you suggest some good math rock bands?

Classical music, because I have to study for exams and it helps. In particular, Gerschwin, Rachmaninov, Vivaldi and Barber.

I'm hooked on all music except rap and dance. Dance music is great in a club with a hottie to dance with and rap - I dont know ... it's not really as much music as a vocal performance. Outside of that I listen to everything from country to blues to classical to a *little* pop an R & B.

i used to not like Anastacia, but now i can't stop listening to her new album :p

i've started listening to Norah Jones. i don't know if she's considered jazz though.

Bit of a Steely Dan retrospective going on here.

UJ

Hard line rocker, but lately movin' into blues - Albert King, Howlin' Wolf, Freddy King, Muddy Waters, Hound Dog Taylor, John Lee Hooker, Jimmy Reed, etc.

Cabo - Have you tried ParaDynamic Roadhouse - Barstool blues and the best tequila in town.

UJ

I have my 70's progressive rock phase again. Yes!

Listening to things without lyrics... otherwise can't work. Quite a lot of melodic trance for now.

Couldn't get to it... I think its blocked. Everytime I try to hit a stream, it crashes Winamp and Explorer. Takes about 3 minutes to recover, which it does, but I get no error messages.

What do they play?

All the artists you mentioned and a hundred more.
Most of it is from 50s and 60s or earlier.

There was a little thread recently here.

If you want to risk it again you could try entering
http://205.188.234.38:8014 in Winamp's Menu > Play > URL
or drag and drop it on to Winamp's main window.

It works on a different system. Thanks much!

Mas Tequila!

I've always had a certain type of music stuck in my head, and I make it all up as I go along.

It's like a cross between Pink Floyd, Metallica, and Gorillaz. It's cool! :D

i seriously never though i would listen to music with pianos, violas, cellos, and harpsichords !!!!
and that would be
Rachel's and Godspeed YBE
