What kind of music do you like?

well is this what *what music do you like thread volume 7'?? guys, do some searching....but Im too lazy to dig some of the older ones and merge this to it....

So I have to write this again...
Like my avatar shows, Im pretty much into Led Zeppelin and other stuff from the golden years of 67-73 when rock music was thougth to have potential to become something important, yet nothing did happen. Basicly anything that performed in the woodstcok migth go...Other bands that I'm wery fond of are the Who, Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd...until Rogers department, afterwards that I would choose Waters solo stuff over Gilmour-led Floyd... Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dyland, King Crimson, Fairport Convention, The Cream, Yardbirds...I use to be more on the heavymetal side, but since i've become intressed more of progressive stuff. However Black Sabbath, Dio, Iron Maiden and related bands finds their way into my CD player now and then...and offcourse the great finnish bands like Tasavallan Presidentti & Jukka Tolonen, Trio Niskalaukaus and Ismo Alanko's all bands and solo work are good stuff as well as all real blues players

Of anything new, i must say that only White Stripes, Audioslave and this new System of Down have made any sort of impact on me

AC/DC, Led Zepplin, Lenny Kravitz, barenakedladies, linkin park, alice cooper, Rammstien and RadioHead. I like that.

A new thread for music...

Well, I have 2 main genre. 1st is trash/power/speed/melodic metal, I like it when it has a melodic riff, agressive playing and guitar harmonisation. It's the main kind of music that I play (I play guitar and piano) with my guitar. So it's more like Megadeth, Metallica (the early style), Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Rhapsody, Children of Bodom, Judas Priest, Pantera, everything of this style, but I really dislike death/black metal, like Lamb of God, Slayer, Slipknot, groups like that are not good. I also like very much the NWOBHM-era bands (Motorhead,Diamond Head, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, etc..).

2nd main genre is blues. My favorite blues artist is Stevie Ray Vaughan, but I also like BB King, Freddy King, Carole King, Muddy Waters. I'm more in boggie and Missippi/Chicago Blues genre. I got interest for blues from piano since i was playing blues piano.

BTW, Goll, Children of Bodom are great, only that their don't know how to sing, but it's a very melodic music. and it somehow remind me of the early Metallica with lots of palm mute and agressive riff.

I don't really have a category i mostly listen to i seem to just listen to songs here and there. I tend to come back and listen to bands then go on on to new ones when i am bored, right now i am still listening to the industrial metal band rammstein, and the indy rock band the killers.

I like all sorts of music. Mostly rock, especially classic rock, like Led Zepplin, AC/DC, the Doors (which I am listening to right now), Pink Floyd, Van Halen, the Clash. As for newer music, I like Nirvana, Rage against the Machine, the Offspring (all of which are actually pretty old), the Hives, the White Stripes, Audioslave, Flogging Molly, Drop Kick Murphy(yeah for Celtic punk rock). I like reggae too, especially Bob Marley (of course), and Matisyahu. I don't like rap that much, although I occasionally listen to old school rap, like NWA and the Beastie Boys.

In China, are you allowed to listen to any music you want to, or is that still kind of restricted? Do they even sell it? (Like if it was legal but you couldn't buy it any where. I guess that doesn't matter because of the Internet.)

I am pretty sure these days people in China can listen to all kinds of music because of the popularity of Internet and MP3 music format. But I can tell you in 94-98, that's when I was in college in China, it was not easy to do that.

Basically, those days, only extremely popular rock artists works were officially imported to China. GNR, Michael Jackson (He was extremely popular in China), Nirvana and Metallica were all popular in China then. Some music publishing companies then import their musics to China and they altered contents to Chinese. For instance, I still own a GNR tape "Use your Illusision II" published by "Mei Ka", a music label in China with all lyrics translated to Chinese, and the translation is really really bad.

However, soon or later, a true rock fan will find that was not enough. First, they were not many selecitons available, for instance, in those days, we can have Nirvana but Pearl Jam or R.E.M's musics were not imported because they were less popular (and less profit). Second, the Chinese translation was so uncool to us. So we turned to a strange second approach.

In the city where I live, there were people selling damaged western musics on street. Those tapes were not pirate copies, they were exactly the same tapes sold in US. However, all tapes and CDs were slightly damaged, for instance, the cover was cranked, or the tape was cut to half somewhere. Although damaged, they were easy to fix. CDs were damaged too, they all had a cut on the outside tracks so there were basically about 3/4 tracks left on a CD.

I remembered me and one of my roomates went to a place in Wuhan to hunt for these musics and we got to know a big guy in these street vendors. He gave us a call whenever he got a big selections and we then went to his apartment for musics. He had over 20,000 these types of tapes and CDs laying on the floor of his living room. It was a totally mess, but through this way, we got to buy all kinds of music we want in very cheap prices, usually about 10 Yuan (about one US dollar) for a tape. Till now, I still own about 40 CDs I bought those days, including a complete intact Dire Straits "Live in BBC" CD.

I like mostly heavy metal and classic rock. I like very little of the music today. Save for a band here and there. Also love classical.

Iron Maiden.
Judas Priest.
MegaDeth.
Black Sabbath.
Ozzy Osbourne.
Led Zeppelin.
Pink Floyd.
Stratovarius.
Iced Earth.
Three Days grace.
W.A.S.P.
Alice Cooper.
Bach.
Beethoven.
Danzig.
Vivaldi.
Motorhead.
Slayer.
Mozart.

I listen to a lot of foreign rock. The scene in the US is becoming horrible. Too many emo bands and pop-punk crap. I like Interpol. Asian Kung-fu Generation, Bloc Party, Arctic Monkeys, Nirvana, Alice in Chains, the Melvins, STP, Sparta Locals, Boom Boom Satellites, Number Girl, Zazen Boys, Eastern Youth, eP, Mizraab, Call, Jal, Landlord, Luminous Orange, Inushiki aka Doggystyle, and much much more. I occasianally listen to metal.

I moustly listen metal(preferbly trash like Megadeth, Kreator),classic rock and stoner but I also listen jazz,blues,croatian and irish etno...

I'm going to merge it with the music thread Brotherofsnake already made

My preferred genres of music are mostly pop, dance, basically anything that's nice and catchy and fun to listen to.

Things such as classical music, and rap music, are not my style, and I would avoid them.
