HELP! What music do I like?

CGameProgrammer · 13th January 2004, 13:49

Sort of a silly topic, but I'm kind of picky about music and have lots of trouble figuring out what songs to buy. Given some songs that I like, can someone recommend others to me?

I like sort of upbeat energetic music with a good beat. My favorites include:

* "What is Love" - Haddaway
* "This is Your Night" - Amber
* "Be My Lover" - La Bouche
* almost everything on the Scarface soundtrack, such as "Push it to the Limit" or whatever the title is, "Rush Rush", "She's on Fire", and "I'm Hot Tonight".
* "Barbie Girl" - Aqua
* "Kids in America" - Kim Wilde
* "Atomic" - Blondie
* "Crocodile Rock" - Elton John

and there's some others that are good (Beach Boys, early Michael Jackson, and others). Anyone with similar tastes (or not) know of other good songs, from any decade?

Dude, you're into Euro music

I'd recommend:

Eiffel 65 - Blue
Eiffel 65 - Move your body

apola_anamisha · 13th January 2004, 14:28

Umm Aqua, Elton John, early Michael Jackson......not bad.
Hey, why don't you try some boy-bands?They are the best.
Here are they
Westlife
Boyzone
Savage Garden
BSB
NSync
MLTR
Human nature
Monkees
New kids on the block........

Are you being sarcastic? I haven't heard a single good "boy band". For the record I'm a 23-year-old guy. NSync and New Kids are bad, but I haven't heard anything by the rest (except, OK, one decent Monkees song).

Haven't heard of them. I'll check them out, thanks. Maybe I am non-American in tastes.

I am an American though, if you guessed.

WTF? One post per 60 seconds? Weird.

NJK · 13th January 2004, 14:45

Yeah, I easily noticed you were American (from your forum accent

) And 60sec here is nothing compared to the pace of GD (a post almost every 10sec!!!)

BTW, have you heard of 'Safri Duo' or the 'Chemical Brothers'? I suggest you'd check them out as well

You've just described electroclash....

A starter:

Ministry of Sound - This is Tech-Pop

Apola tryes to influence n00b's with her music and fails. Ahahahahahhaa

CGameProgrammer · 13th January 2004, 18:17

Thanks for the replies... I'll try to check out the bands that were mentioned; it's easy to download samples from Amazon or somewhere else.

Also I just remembered another song I like - "Obsession" by Animotion. I've never heard of them but I heard this song in GTA3: Vice City and it's very good.

Cylob · 13th January 2004, 18:22

Animotion - Obsession? Yep, you're an electroclash man through and through...

ShyShy · 13th January 2004, 20:51

CG, I'd wait for some of the gamers to pop in. There's a couple out there that are really into that type of music. It'll just take a couple of days to pry them away from their consoles

Cylob · 13th January 2004, 21:56

Don't listen to ShyShy! You can see from her avatar she's evil...

ShyShy · 13th January 2004, 22:09

Oh, you're just pissed cause I kicked your ass in mudwrestling and now you've got to listen to Yoko Ono

Cylob · 13th January 2004, 22:25

Next time, pick on someone your size - dude!

Man, this Yoko sucks nuts for money.

ShyShy · 14th January 2004, 04:19

Never try to take me on when I'm going through coffee withdrawal

Seriously...CG, search for Jones and Blank, they do quite a bit of remixing that I think you'll like

taylormemer · 14th January 2004, 05:07

Sweet, feel free to use the custom-word 'squissock' whenever you like...

Strike that and reverse it (Blank & Jones). But as you were low on caffein at the time....

BTW, I still say electroclash is far better than any trance that ever lived.
