"So, what kind of music do you listen to?"

Viani

"I listen to electronic stuff, mostly rave, maybe Metallica and what not, what about you?"

[looks on my iPod]
[Finds, Vocaloid, Video Game Music, Keygen 8-Bit Tunes, Megamang Remixes, Dubstep Remixes of Anime themes, anime themes, Youtube Poop Music Videos and extremely obscure bands like Gild Fornicatus, Lords of Acid, Hornytron, Adastraeia, Enrapture, Flamma Ignis, uneXpecT, Sylvaneshi, and SSH.]


I need like, good mainstream music to put on my iPod besides like, Adele and Strapping Young Lad, so I can actually describe what I listen to. When people ask me this question I feel stupid because how do I describe what I listen to?


in other words, what kind of music do YOU listen to Heapers, and do you have any recommendations?

Considering IRL, almost nobody I have ever talked to, anywhere, even knows who they are, they might as well be.

Lords of Acid did "I Must Increase My Bust". That's all I know about 'em.

When people ask me that question, I say death metal. Which actually comprises only a small part of my musical diet, but it shuts them up.

Misery

Kpop, video game music, metal, music soundtracks, adult alternative, freestyle, rock and hip hop.

Ace Rimmer

VGM, Enemiem, British Indie, Britpop, Soul and Motown

All Nines

My personal recommendations (or some of them): Animals as Leaders, Black Tide, Born of Osiris, Coheed and Cambria, A Day to Remember, Fightstar, Lostprophets, Mastodon, Pig Destroyer, Protest the Hero, Rise Against, and Sleeping with Sirens.

As a generality, I listen to hardcore, or at least, many of its offshoots and combinations with metal, prog metal, and some alt rock, I guess.

I second Animals as Leaders. Everybody needs to listen to Animals as Leaders, I say. 

Spacey

a little bit of everything, 'cept most pop music or country music

PlutoniumFist

I listen to everything but rap and country

It's hard to go wrong with anything from Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Their stuff runs the gamut from love songs to nonsense to Nick Cave claiming to be a 12-year-old girl who foams at the mouth. Murder Ballads is my favorite album of theirs (and "O'Malley's Bar" out of that).

Mostly video game music and TV show theme songs, really. Yes, I know, I'm horribly deprived of music.

gentlemanorcus

I like video game music, classical, classical rock, indie rock, and alternative rock.

We generally have one musician that we listen to for either a day or a week.

For this week, that musician is Jon Coulton

I listen to pretty much everything, but I have a soft spot for Jazz, Mathcore, Post-Dubstep, IDM, Industrial & Ambient music.

I've mostly 8een listening to Homestuck music l8ly (yeah, I know) 8ut I tend to like a little 8it of most everything to the point where it's tricky for me to pin down things I like or want to recommend.

The Squiddles theme song is excellent and awesome

I love the Felt al8um.

I'm weird. I don't really listen to the Homestuck music because 1) it's too expensive and 2) I don't want to plunder it. But I might have liked it otherwise.

As for what I do plunder and occasionally buy, I mainly listen to that crappy electronic dance music that hipsters sneer at and various different forms of rock.

electropop, rap, a little bit of hip hop, quite a bit of R&B, drum n' bass (a new one), indie rock, pop rock, electronic rock, prog, electronic, punk, soul, britpop, power pop, trance, dance, movie scores and a little bit of video game music.
