Since my Lunar thread brought up the issue of 50 Cent, and how much i hate him and rap i figured i'd start up a music thread. What kind of music do you like? Artists? Genres? Go ahead and list what ever you feel sums up the kind of music you like. One thing that I ask, if some one listes to a kind of music you don't like try not to bring it up in a negative way, we don't need flame wars bursting out between members of our union, it's already small enough, we don't have to make it smaller. For myself, i like a fairly wide variety of music, I've literally had instances where a Beethoven song was followed by a Mindless Self Indulgance song on my MP3 player. I like a lot of Metal, Progressive, Classic Rock, Industrial, Electronica and Punk music. Stuff I usually can't listen to is usually your standard Pop, Hip-Hop, Rap and Dance (very different from Electronica).

I guess the genre I listen to the most would be pop because it's so damn catchy. I can't get it out of my head and I have to hear it again. It annoying. I also like R&B and some rap. These days though, I find myself listening to Israeli music the most (I speak Hebrew). That and any video game soundtrack I can get my hands on. Most recently it's been that free Death Jr. CD that came with the game. It's a shame the music is better than the actual game though.

I just thought of a question for the Canadians: Have you ever heard of a band called Prozzak? They're an offshoot of another band called the Philosopher Kings and only have one CD available in the US under the name Simon & Milo (I guess Prozzak was deemed too insensitive?).

Anyway, I can't find their CDs anywhere and I love them. For some reason, I'm addicted to their songs. It's like mind-numbing peppy pop and I love it. I own their first CD, Hot Show, and I want their second, Saturday People, but I can't find it anywhere. Do they have any others?

EDIT: If you don't know them by name, you'll recognize their music videos. They're all cartoons of a big burly blonde guy and his friend with no neck who's always lamenting lost love. Hilarity insues.

I think Strange Disease is hilarious. And during college I used to listen to Get A Clue on my way to every exam. Don't know why. Just a ritual I had.

Yes, at one point they were one of my favorite groups. I had hot show and Saturday people, not bad albums if you like that stuff. By the dway DR Fish, if you like pop because it's catchy, try checking out Jpop and Jrock ... modern Japanese music is catchy to the point that it's like drugs for your ears.

I pretty much listen to all kinds of music. It just depends on my mood. We have launchcast radio at work, which is through yahoo, and you can listen to any genre and mood that you'd like.

I tend to lean towards bands that combine genres.

My favorites are 311, Zebrahead, and Reel Big Fish.

They put on a pretty fun concert.

Speaking of concerts, is anyone planning on going to Video Games Live?

EDIT: Just bought my tickets 5 mins ago. Can't wait.

A friend of mine told me about that ... i'm not sure i want to go. Last time i was with a big group of people and they played video game music a little part of my soul died. I was voulenteering at a star trek convention and i was at the "dance" and the DJ decided to play a remixed version of the SMB soundtrack ... watching the people on the dance floor try to dance to it physically hurt me.

Haha! You're a Star Trek fan? I love that show. Damn UPN for cancelling it and damn Paramount for not selling it to Spike TV when they asked for it.

I'm definitely going to the concert. I love video game music, and I'm sure they'll have tons of extra collector's treasures for sale there. Hopefully some import CDs. Besides, it's a nice night out for my girlfriend and I.

I'm a general Sci-Fi/Fantasy fan. I spent a lot of time watching star trek because my dad watched TNG a lot when i was a kid. i'm not especially attatched to the series myself, but i worked the con because it gave me a chance to get away from the house for a few days and i wanted to help out some friends of mine. Plus it afforded me the opertunity to get runied right out of my skull after putting up with a full day and a bit's worth of a drama fest. 6 (canadian) beers on a nearly empty stomach and I still didn't toss my cookies thats almost as impressive as 11 after having dinner.

fwiw, zebrahead are pretty popular. get back and playmate of the year were in heavy rotation on modern rock stations. good band.

Here's a little bit of the modern stuff in my CD. Besides this stuff, I love classical music, irish traditional, and showtunes. Plus, I play mean 12 bar.

afi, slayer, tori amos, fear factory, sarah mclaclan, nirvana, rancid, us bombs, d gen, jesse malin, bad religion, pennywise, todd snider, dispatch, o.a.r., garbage (they broke up!), christian death, 2pac, fischerspooner, scissor sisters, the misfits, alkaline trio, wu-tang, ODB, trick daddy, DMX, dropkick murphys, flogging molly, the pogues, shane mcgowan.

I was voulenteering at a star trek convention and i was at the "dance" and the DJ decided to play a remixed version of the SMB soundtrack ... watching the people on the dance floor try to dance to it physically hurt me.

Trekkies and dancing? Sweet Jesus, what a bad idea.

dropkick murphys, flogging mollyguinness4life
I saw flogging molly live, they performed with Throw Rag in a small club, both bands kicked ass and put up an awesome live performance. One of these day's I'll get to see the DKM's, my sister is also hell bent on going to one of their shows.

Yeah, I've been meaning to see FM, but the last time they were around here it was the warped tour. I hate kids, so I took a pass. Hopefully they'll play a decent bar in the area soon. DKM put on a good show. I wish I saw them with the vocalist before al barr though. I liked him better.

Ha ha ha, warped tour. I don't blame you for not going. The only band that could draw my sister there without any kind of argument is Rancid. Other than that it would take a lot of good bands being there to bring her to the warped tour. Enough that the tour wouldn't suck and that it would stop being called the warped tour.
