Musical Tastes

This is a simple enough question, but hopefully enough to get something of a discussion going.

What's your favorite genre of music? Any favorite artists in particular?

well to be honest I don't really have a favorite I like to listen to all tipes of music but that doesn't mean that I really like everything only a little of everything:P

Queen's very good. I listen to quite a variety, the majority of which is made up of complete unknowns. I listen to a lot of Styx, Coldplay, and Gnarls Barkley. My sig here is one I made about Gnarls Barkley's song "Crazy".

i'm mostly listening to progressive rock,rock and Metal

my favorite band's are : Pearl Jam, In Flames,Deep Purple, King Crimson,Black Sabbath,Kansas,Journey and many many more

I like any insane crazy music and I also like Wierd Al

Hey, Weird Al is awesome! Still going strong after all these years. Can't wait for his next album; I hope it's just as good as Straight Out Of Lynwood!

Rock and roll for me, metal, death metal, anything thats rock. DragonForce is my number one band!

DragonForce is awesome!

Used to be a big fan until I found other bands and such, but still great.

ok...

1. WOOT BLACK SABBATH!!
2. WOOT WEIRD AL!!!
3. WOOT QUEEN!!! Bohemian rhapsody all the way!!
4. WOOT DRAGON FORCE!! Through fire and flames; Operation ground pound!! both awesome
5. i also like Rise agianst (also popular), and... now this really surprised me, i actually some how like some select pieces of R&B . now, i know what you are thinking... "Has he lost his mind? can he see, or is he blind?" lol, black sabbath ftw ... any way, it surprised me ALOT!... but yea, i especially like R&B music by Lisa Miskovsky (if you ever see a commercial for Mirror's Edge, you know that back ground music? Lisa Miskovsky's Still Alive)

ummm... i got a few more too.

Ben Folds, Fountains of Wayne, almost anything from 1964-1985, a little country, some occasional classical, rock, pop, alternative...my mp3 player is a mess.

Probably be easier to list what I don't listen to...hard-core rap and death metal.

Don't Hold me up now! I can stand my own ground! I don't need your help now! You wont let me DOWN DOWN DOWN!!

I memorized all the lyrics to all of those songs and more, I can practically sing to every single one of the songs on my Zune, and that would be 500+

warm yourself by the fire son, and the morning will come soon
I'll tell you stories of a better time, in a place that we once knew.
before we packed our bags and left all this behind us in the dust.
we had a place to call home, and a life no one could touch
DONT HOLD ME up now! i can stand my own ground, i dont need you're help now, you wont let me down! down! down! dont hold me up now, i can stand my own ground, i dont need you're help now, you wont let me down! down! down!
We are the angry and the desperate, the hungry and the cold,
we are the ones who kept quiet, and always did what we were told,
but we've been sweating while you slept so calm in the safety of you're home,
we've been pulling out the nails that hold up everything you've known
DONT HOLD ME up now! i can stand my own ground, i dont need you're help now, you wont let me down! down! down! dont hold me up now, i can stand my own ground, i dont need you're help now, you wont let me down! down! down!
so open you're eyes, child, let's be on our way
broken windows and ashes are guiding our way
keep quiet no longer, we'll sing through the day
of the lives that we've lost, and the LIVES WE'VE reclaimed
go!
DONT HOLD ME up now! i can stand my own ground, i dont need you're help now, you wont let me down! down! down! dont hold me up now, i can stand my own ground, i dont need you're help now, you wont let me down! down! down! dont hole me up! (i dont need you're help, i'll stand my ground) Dont hold me up! (dont need you're help) No! No! No! dont hold me up! (dont need you're help, i'll stand my ground)dont hold me up!(dont need you're help) dont! dont! dont! dont! DONT!!!

Now the real question is this: Do you UNDERSTAND the song?

*cough*

throws down a smoke bomb and runs away...


nah, i get it.... sorta... it's like wanting to do things on you're own and what not, feeling abandoned by others. kinda like the saying "if you want it done right, you got to do it you'reself
