Your musical tastes

[Untermensch]

What sort of music you like and what sort of music you dont like, may I ask?

I like Alternative and Indie Rock, stuff like the The Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, Muse, Ladyhawke, Radiohead, Kings of Leon, Placebo, The Vines, Netural Milk Hotel, PJ Harvey, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Pearl Jam, some 80's New Wave and also a little Punk and Post-Punk (like The Sex Pistols and Joy Division).

I dislike emo, RnB, Techno, a lot of hip-hop and the more recent pop (like Britney Spears for example).

I'm wearing a shirt with that album cover on it right now. So yeah, I like Joy Division. I have to admit I've grown out of them a bit lately but when I was younger Closer was like my third favorite album out of hundreds that I'd listened to.

These days I'm really drifting out of rock music. I still listen to more experimental and free form stuff, like Fushitsusha, and I still listen to metal.

I've gotten into ambient pretty recently. I discovered Klimek, and I've been listening to old favorites by William Basinski and Tetsuo Inoune often.

I try to listen to classical but I still don't fully understand it. The stuff I like most is from Teiji Ito, Toru Takemitsu, Sergei Rachmaninoff, and Arvo Part. I feel like I understand these composers more than most others.

[The_Chosen_One]

Mostly 60s, 70s and some 80s. Rock, pop, and chart stuff.

Favourite groups are Beatles, Stones, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Doors, The Band, Wings, Deep Purple, Crowded House, Split Enz.

Favourite artists are Billy Joel, Elton John (up to 1983), Janis Joplin, Carole King, Simon & Garfunkel, Barry Ryan, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton.

Rap, r'n'b, house, and all this modern shite aren't worth anything.

[Frolic_Fun]

Mostly electronic stuff (IDM, Techno Ambient, Musique Concrete and other older forms of electronic from the 40s-70s, Berlin School, Minimalist etc.), post punk, new wave, kraut rock, bit of prog, classical music, some indie and so on.

I'm fairly open really, although I really hate metal/rap/chav choons/silly bubblegum pop/pop punk/emo. I will like music even if it's new, but most of the chart stuff seems crap to me.

[ProfessorFarnsworth]

I like classical, symphonic metal, heavy metal, instrumentals, anything that's has strength or complexity (as in, like a symphony of instruments, the structure of how it progresses, and vocals when listening to classical music) to it. My favourite band is Epica because I love the combined classical and metal style.

Anything that lacks both qualities of strength and complexity I usually don't like.
