I'm abusing the off-topic with my rambling topics .

So, what have you all been listening to recently? What's your favorite genre of music? Etc. and etc.

Myself, I've been rotting my ear canals with lots of Rock. lol. Classic Rock, mostly Rolling Stones, a little bit of Nirvana, Wolfmother (If you haven't listened to ONE of their songs, GO NOW. Their music is really good, imo. ), and a few tracks from Guitar Hero I and II. I've also given DEVO a healthy amount of space in me brain. Lol, I'm so retro

I've also been pushing myself back into listening to 'The Police', more John Lennon, and a little bit of Wings.

What 'bout you?

[Wizeman1213]

I've only been listening to classical music. I play violin, you see.

[animejosse]

Mostly Sonata Arctica. Finally managed to find their albums

[AYRiES]

I discovered the playlist option on Last.fm and have as such been deciding what I'm buying next month. Mostly Paramore, Panic! at the Disco, Vanessa Carlton, 3 Doors Down and Self Against the City. Other than that, a lot of Pink and Rogue Traders, cause I heard that clip on Doctor WHo and ended up buying the entire album...

[Maki Izumii]

a few tracks from Guitar Hero I and II

+1 to your coolness, dude. Dragonforce is confirmed in number 3. Rejoice.

I've always had a mixed bag when it comes to my music collection; I grew up on Classical Music, got into Jazz/Punk/Ska/Dance in high school, then J-Rock/Metal/Rock/Melodic Trance over the past few years. At the moment, I've been re-living my high school days with lots of Reel Big Fish *I need to get their latest album though, from what I've heard, it's awesome*, and also been listening to plenty of Foo Fighters *again, I need to get their last few albums, I only have their earlier stuff at the moment*

Aaaaand I've also been heavily into Muse, Tool, Porcupine Tree, and Blackfield (If you don't know those last two, poke around and have a look, Steven Wilson's stuff is very good).

In other words, I've been really into a lot of music at the moment XD

[Tango]

MMX Arranged Album, Descent, SotN, NiD, various CV soundtracks, Vectorman, Minomus, etc. I'm a nerd wheee

[Zero-Shift]

I'm almost strictly a techno guy. My favorite genres are House and Acid Jazz. I'm a sucker for a funky beat, especially if it has a good baseline.

My favorite bands are Daft Punk and Jamiroquai. I have listened to both of them quite recently.

I also listen to a lot of game music, but that's too broad to really categorize.

[DiGi Valentine]

Actually, Daft Punk are really good. I don't have any of their songs yet but me and TRiP were watching that music/movie thing they did called, Galaxy 5555 or whatever it's called. XD Most of the songs in there done good with me so i wanna get their songs soon.

In terms of music i've been listening to...well..it's a bloody mixed bag since i've been living here. I'm still all for Tupac Shakur, Common and Sway but now it's also about music i heard when i was a kid, so i've also got Spice Girls, Take That and Madonna on the roster. Oh, and East 17. To add on to that, we've got some various dance music that Lynne plays that ain't too shabby aswell as the occasional rock song here and there, especially that 'Dreaming in Digital' song which is alright. Also, top my list off with a bit of Gym Class Heroes, and that's my list completed.


...and reading it back, what a batch of songs that is. XD;;

[TRiPPY]

That bloody Gnarls Barkley Transformer song Purg sent us :|

[Handy Candy]

This midgie likes alternative rock best, but has a wide range of tastes :3 Sister Hazel, Hootie and the Blowfish, Flogging Molly (who are moar better live in concert), Clapton, John Legend, Amy Winehouse, Nat King Cole.

mao

[Mitsuu]

oh, just listening to some keane, bob dylan, queen, and wierd al occasionally, but mostly i have soundtracks from random movies and anime(advent children, trigun, trinity blood, the cat returns, o brother where art thou, phantom of the opera, the list goes on and on...). keane is definately my favourite band though.

[Icachan]

Haven't had much time to listen to music lately. D: At the moment it's mainly music from "NANA" the anime, a bit of Nick Cave and Tom Waits. Also unpacked two Gorillaz cd's from the bottom of a box, so those will be on plenty these next couple of days. :3

[NNR07]

If I might add, I just got a 2 disc Pink Floyd album full of some of their greatest hits... ooh, I love Pink Floyd 8D!

[TehLazyOne]

usually i like listening to soundtracks, classic, techno, and many other types of music... and uh, TMBG.(one of the few bands i continuously listen to, and like)
i just never really know when im gonna find something i like or dislike. its kinda randomized. but basically, when i hear something i like, i listen.

Lately, though, ive been listening to "Eight Melodies" from the soundtrack of "MOTHER"..... been listening to it alot... dunno why...
i just find it to be overly relaxing and uplifting. beautiful and wondrous to hear...

[DiENE]

I have been listening to more Goth Rock and other stuff from the 80's recently as opposed to all the recent Aggrotech in the 00's

[Lavos]

My 80-minute MP3 Player has two tracks on it:

"Lucid Dream Red Mix" by Elucidate (around 75 minutes) <3
"Ganon Hates Grating Cheese" by MrSimon (~1:15)

How's that for imbalance? I say EXCELLENT!

[JadeMare]

Rock, and a lot of it, but my most frequently played songs are ones by Bowling for Soup. My buddy, Matt, sent me a boatload of their songs and I'm now hooked. XD Along with that, songs by Powerman 5000 and Blind Guardian. Blind Guardian's more Power Metal, but oh well.

Omfg, "Ganon Hates Grating Cheese". <3 it when I saw it on Youtube. His other music is pretty good too.

Anyways, I don't listen to much, as I have NO ACTUAL CDS WHATSOEVER. I don't have an iPod or CD player either, and I don't want to pay for songs on my phone (lame >_>;. Sooo, most of the music I listen to is video game music (which is good to download because nobody really cares about it). Oh, and DDR/Dancing Stage for U.K. songs *hugs Stepmania* with some form of strings or brass instrument playing the melody. >_>

*phails*

[Quicksilver]

Personally I just download my music from Newgrounds Audio Portal, it's great and it's legally free ('cause online amatuer artists post their music on there to see how well it does with an audience)

As for my tastes...

Orchestral music (uses same instruments as classical but sounds more modern, like from those epic movies).

Video Game music (how many times has this one been done, lol)

[Jof]

The Elite Beat Agents soundtrack. All of it, including ... Avril Lavigne. o_o.

I thought I'd never have that on my iTunes, but damn if that isnt a good game. Love the Queen track.

[Purgatory]

A Purgatory-based playlist I have.. Mostly been listening to Stupid Mother F*cker and Shut Me Up by Mindless Self Indulgence, I Hope You Die by The Bloodhound Gang, Pinch Me by the Bare Naked Ladies, Soul Meets Body by Death Cab For Cutie, and Float On by Modest Mouse. And a lot of Muse. O_O

Mostly those particular ones, but that whole playlist has been all I've been listening to for about a month now. ^^;

[Spleg]

a-ha. Lots and lots of a-ha. Namely, their first three albums.

Oh, and a selection of other 80s songs.

[DREAMiNF]

Odd, I was just listening to "Float on", Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo by The Bloodhound Gang and Hysteria by Muse XD

Nirvana >.< I have all their albums, Kurt's lyrics and music have been stuck in my head ever since I heard "Smells like Teen spirit"

[YamiLover13]

I love those songs too. I had to make a copy of the CD for my boyfriend too. He thinks their great.

As for what I listen to genra wise: rock, hard rock, alternative, alternative rock, video game, anime, techno, pop, dance, jazz, orchistra, classical, instrumental, industrial, metal, folk, Jpop, and so many others I just can't think of or give a catagory too. I listen to a very wide range. But Techno and rock are the most faviorte of the bunch. I listen to mostly songs I can download and I have been listening to the same wide range of songs recently. Heck, I am still listening to select Shadow the Hedgehog music and some of DeZ's songs. (Oh crap I haven't downloaded Seceret Rings Music yet. >.< )

As for what s sitting in my cd player/clock right now...The Nightmare Before Christmas Soundtrack Disc 2. I wake up every mourning the Marilyn Manson's version of Halloween Town. Sometimes I swich it out with Evanescence though.

[Silvia Callisto]

Well, my CD player currently rots mainly with belly-dancing music with a few songs from the Tea Party, but I normally don't listen to my CDs often. It's mainly been Sonic music on my MP3 player, namely Secret Rings, and a slight dash of Zelda. My main music that I'm normally jacked into while on the Comp involves a lot of KH and TRiPPY's tracks tend to get stuck in my head often. Mainly Distant Night, TONiGHT, and Battle of the D'Force Masters. Addictive songs, TRiP, real addictive.

Despite the fact that a friend of mine brought over two Evanescence albums and Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory one, I don't have the CDs. Just the MP3s stored in my Library. I want to get the actual CDs.

[Roam]

A ton of stuff from OCRemix, specifically the Piano remix of the 600 AD theme in Chrono Trigger by Klutz.

[iLLViLLAiN]

Underground DJs music

[Hime Blue]

Right now it's my 'Favourite-list' which has NiGHTS music (complete soundtrack + fan songs), Super Paper Mario music, BlutEngel, Within Temptation, and some other stuff... but right now it's mainly NiGHTS, Kamelot's CD Ghost Opera, and a song by Danny Elfman, "Oh Mother Dear".

[Maki Izumii]

I got the new Reel Big Fish album, 'Monkies for nothing, Chimps for free' last night. It is so much win. I also got another mp3 of Trains by Porcupine Tree, for my one was corrupted and didn't play and Trains is such an awesome awesome song which all of you should acquire via any means possible

[Nyclone]

My personal moon is a great song!

[mackerz]

I've been listening to stuff by Caramell.

Especially Caramelldansen and Kom Håll Om Mig. *EARS BLEED* *-----------------------------------@

[Musashi_HUmar]

I've been listening to lots of Guns N' Roses, and random other songs by other artists.

[Nyclone]

Now I pretty much abuse My Chemical Romance and Paramore songs.

[FanOingo3]

I've been listening to "Inhuman Rampage" by DragonForce for a while lately. I have to say they're my favorite band right now.

My Personal Favorite Tracks on the CD:

-Operation Ground and Pound
-Through The Fire and Flames
-The Flame of Youth
-Trail of Broken Hearts

[Moonlighttrill]

For the past like, 2months my phone only has utada hikaru on it (I heart my sony w810i ). Sometimes i throw on Gwen Stefani or the Killers, but Utada has never left my side. Been obsessed with Heart Station and Exodus albums for a while now. Can't wait for her new stuff.

[TRiPPY]

Still can't stop listening to Crystal Castle from JoD.

[Moonlighttrill]

Still can't stop listening to Crystal Castle from JoD.

I find that song very baroque. I like it too. But i find the jewel fever version has that extra zim.

[Xay]

At the moment im completly Assulting ym Eardrums with mostly Videogame Music. To name a few games-
A Few tracks from the first 3 Rockman.EXE Games (Old-School GBA Synth Music. Nice...)

NiGHTS Into Dreams... (But of course!)

Sonic CD (U.S. and JAP Versions. Both soundtracks have their Stinkers and their Shiners.)

Music from the first 2 Street Fighter EX Games (Im sorry, the games might have been bad, but the Music is some of the best in the SF Series hands down. ESPECIALY EX2 and EX2+)

The Main Theme from the first Space Harrier (Right up there with the Ledgandary 'Opa Opa!' from Fantasy Zone and 'Magical Sound Shower' from Outrun. Good times, goooood times.)

And on a incredibly random note, and 8-Bit Chiptune ReMix of... Never gonna give you Up by Rick Astley. Yes, im Rickrolling myself every damn day- Watch me care! XD

[Maki Izumii]
