Title: Music... What Is your favorite genre?
Post by: Xalthar on June 02, 2003, 05:10:03 pm: Hail all fellow Planeshifters

I would just like to know which music you listen to in general, or perhaps even as I do, while playing PS...

My favorite genre? Well my sig says it all, and I have no problem admitting that I am a metal head, although I like a lot of trance and techno... :)
Title:
Post by: Keldorn on June 02, 2003, 06:01:36 pm: oh what the hey, might as well put it down since i got nothing better to do.

discovered metal when i was 13 i think, so that genre has still got a special place i guess.
But then you expand your horizon and discover other genres, so i also like punk, acoustic, some pop (noooooo!!). Ah whatever, i like it as long as it isn\'t dance, trance, house crap.

Post by: Caldazar on June 02, 2003, 07:09:31 pm: I listen to rock, skatepunk (crappy name) and all other genres that my local radiostation play. :)

Post by: Geminosity on June 02, 2003, 07:14:28 pm: anything as long as it isn\'t hippity hop/rap stuff or boring country music.

I love j-pop lots though :)

Post by: mocharock on June 03, 2003, 09:29:12 pm: Looks like the majority here pretty much listen to the same thing! ROCK AND ROLL

Post by: bort on June 05, 2003, 03:53:59 am: Linkin Park. dont know if they\'re punk rock or rap rock, but i do know that they rock!! ;)

otherwise, i listen mostly to rock and sometimes to dance/techno, and on rare occasions, to classical music.

rap/rock, though you could also call it nu-metal, also a popular term for it.
Title:
Post by: Valfaran on June 06, 2003, 05:23:02 am: I listen to alternative rock and new punk, as well as some John Mayer and Evanescence (not sure what genre they fit into exactly). Basically, anything that isn\'t rap (except Linkin Park) or indescernable screaming incoherently into a microphone. Stuff that takes talent is what I listen to, actual musical talent, and not just the ability to make a string of meaningless words rhyme.

While playing Planeshift? Gladiator soundtrack, hands down. :D

Post by: Kiern on June 06, 2003, 07:23:38 am: I have music playing at all times, I don\'t think I can go without it :P

I listen to anything alternative, but mostly punk, I can\'t stand anything outside alternative though...im not actually sure why...but yea

Best band = Name Taken

...the white stripes must die! :evil:

its getting late

Post by: explorer on June 06, 2003, 07:41:48 am: I\'ll listen to mostly everything exept the rap grunge, and those boybands... Yech..

Probably heavy metal is high up with me, I\'ve recently purchaced a cd from a band called \"Thrice\" which I like...

and I also love jazz,
soul,
neo soul,
\"real\" rock (definition pending)
Title:
Post by: Solaire on June 07, 2003, 07:33:08 pm: I like:
:: drum and bass (omni trio)
:: trip hop/hip-hop (DJ Krush)
:: ambient (aphex twin, boards of canada)
:: jazz (the modern jazz sounds that come very close to other electronica) (The freezone albums)

and something totally different:
:: jimmi hendrix !!! (the guitar solo on the wind cries mary is my all-time favorite --> gotta go, I\'m going to buy a wah-wah pedal ;) )

fanatomatic: new age rocks !

[EDIT] : while playing PS (if i actually manage to get past the load times of 30 minutes): definitely Boards of Canada

Post by: tygerwilde on June 09, 2003, 09:57:00 pm: well, I was raised on country, I know, I know, everyone thinks it sucks, but I like the majority of the old stuff, new country sucks, and I don\'t listen to country much anymore anyway...

I went to job corps and found my true love...

Insane Clown Posse

don\'t know what genre you\'d consider em, never heard two peeps describe em the same way, they call themselves Horror Thrash, so that\'s what I\'ll stick with.

Post by: Kieryn on June 10, 2003, 06:09:06 am: I like a smattering of alot myself Country would be the main one I listen to, but I also really enjoy New Orleans swing and jazz. Used to listen to alot of Hard Rock/Punk, but am down to Lucca Turilli/Rhapsody now as the last main group I still listen to.

Post by: Kundalf on June 10, 2003, 11:08:10 am: I like the hard\'n heavy stuff, but also melodic metal and \"middle ages\" metal. No favored bands, except for some local ones noone knows (yet...;))

Wow... I didn\'t expect to see another Rhapsody fan here, (even though they are italian :P) Lucca Turilli is one of my favorite guitarists! ;)

Post by: ParaSite on June 27, 2003, 03:58:40 am: I listen every kind of music, exept for trance and hardcore. Hardcore is just a d00d banging to a wall with a hammer or summit. And trance is the sound my PC makes when I busted him up again :\\ Trance is dance-music, not listen-music. I don\'t like most R&B either. It\'s so cheap.

Post by: Zig on June 29, 2003, 07:10:07 am: I seen this and I figured I would post my thoughts, whats ironic is this is the exact thing i got introuble for before and was labled a spammer heh heh anyways the stuff i listen to is mainly christian punk and metal. Stuff by thousand foot crutch, pillar, dc talk, superchick is more like pop but she has a good band. John Ruben is rap but I like his so i guess I like a little bit of everything I also like offspring, three doors down, green day i guess mine isnt so much by genra but by the individual bands. I also like techno remixes of games that ive played like for snes and stuff. Orchestrated versions of game music is good too. Anyone know a good site to go dl some i would love to know, aim me if you do. Im on like 24/7 with my cable modem haha got to rub it in.

~ZiG~? (haha thats my trademark now)
Title:
Post by: Aztec_Brave on July 03, 2003, 11:48:52 pm: Punk. Basicly, if it\'s punk I\'ll listen to it. I even don\'t mind the new punk poppy stuff like Good Charlotte of New Found Glory, although it isn\'t exactly my cup of tea. Currently my favourite bands are NOFX, Pennywise and Bad Religion, I used to be a big fan of the Offspring and Greenday, but I\'ve discovered that some stuff is just better. I also listen to some stuff out of punk. Notable bands would be SUM 41, Linkin Park and Tool.

christian punk

Could you please enlighten me on what this is.

Post by: Xalthar on July 04, 2003, 12:53:31 am: The only \"true\" punk band I\'ve heard is \"The Icarus Line\"... now that\'s punk!

Post by: Kluger on July 09, 2003, 08:38:41 pm: \"russian war songs\"

Yeahh!!

I\'m quite obsessive when it comes to music.

I am drifting away from most rock, since it\'s often too repetitive. Metallica is truly creative.

I\'ve got 327 hours of music on my computer...all (well, almost all) from CDs I have. I\'ve never been a member of Kazaa, Napster, or any of those other services...just Bittorrent in order to get RH 9. (For the record, I\'m against copyrights!)

My fave song is A Passion Play by Jethro Tull. It\'s 45 minutes long, and I have that song playing in my head all the time. 0_0

Video game music is so underrated! Of video games, these are my faves for music:

Dark Reign 2 - You seriously have to buy it if you find it! This music is awsome! It would be fantastic PS music.
Rayman - A game I initially bought for the music, but the game\'s fun, too.
Gauntlet - The original one for the NES, though the new ones are good, too.
Castlevania - Always has good music.
PlaneShift! - of course...
FX Fighter - Good, but sometimes annoying game, too.
MEGAMAN - Anyone else here like Megaman music?
The 7th Guest - Ooh, man...
Red Alert - Though it gets a bit repetitive.
WarCraft - Of course. And has anyone here heard an .xm called Warcraft? I think it\'s public domain, and it\'s really quite good. If I can find out for sure, I\'ll put it up for download.

These are some of my favorite bands/artists with corresponding song/CD where applicable:

In rock/pop:

David Bowie \"The Very Best\" - I bought it for Space Oddity, but the whole CD is growing on me.
Metallica - I really like their music from Ride the Lightning on. M:S&M is surprisingly good for a live performance.
I used to like Megadeth a lot, specifically Cryptic Writings
Evanescence \"Fallen\" - I bought it for Bring Me to Life (which I later discovered was available as a spectacular music video from their webpage), but the whole CD, especially Tourniquet, is quite good.
Madness \"Our House\" - Such a fun song to listen to while renovating my house, hehe.
Vanessa Carlton \"A Thousand Miles\" only! - I used think she was cool, especially since she\'s 1 day older than I am and grew up not too far away, and \'cause she\'s pretty :-p but after she sang in Big Yellow Taxi, I lost respect for her. \"Farmer, farmer throw away your DDT..I don\'t care \'bout malaria killing millions of people in Panama...(or the fact that DDT is the single biggest lifesaver of humans AND animals, even birds).\"
Bruno Legarde - Alright, anyone know who that is?
Beatles - I hear so many ppl say, \"I\'m sorry, but the Beatles suck!\" only to find out they haven\'t heard any of their music...try I Am the Walrus or Live and Let Die.
Beach Boys - Okay, not really. I used to listen to them when I was 8, but then I discovered that their albums were just a medley of their song. ;-)
Weird \"Al\" Yankovic - The greatest musician ever. Much of his music is better than the original.
Grateful Dead - wooh! (=
Led Zep!! - Wow, so many bands I really like, how can I give them all exclamation points?
Korn \"Follow the Leader\" - That\'s the only one I really like. I like listening to it while driving at night down highways through the woods on very long trips.
Rammstein - Zerh gud.
Rob Zombie - Bearable.
Rolling Stones - Though I only have old LPs.
Fleetwood Mac
Peter Schilling and his one song \"Major Tom (Coming Home)\", which is sort of an 80\'s-ish Space Oddity-related song.
Pink Floyd and The Doors
The Coasters
Robbie Delauter - A local guy. I don\'t even know whether he still plays.
Ventures - They\'ve been heard from much more often than they\'ve been heard of.
Garbage - I haven\'t heard much, but I like the flavor of \"Push It\".
Styx - I\'m now discovering that a lot of songs I like turn out to be Styx songs.
some Green Day, Queen, Guns \'n Roses, Moody Blues, Mortal Kombat (the first movie), No Doubt, Yes, Who, Fine Young Cannibals, Robert Miles (Children), Smash Mouth, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Offspring, Van Halen, and Queens of the Stone Age (No one knows).

And now the ones I *really* like:
Mason Williams: Classical Gas (short but sweet...never thought I\'d say that about gas)
Prokofiev - Classical music from a British madman.
Tchaikovski - And definitely notBach.
Maurice Ravel - Even his tutorial songs are good.
Enigma - What other intense electrical guitar will soothe you to sleep? Really good music, and I\'m not sure whether E2 or E3 is my fave.
Jethro Tull - I don\'t think it\'s really \"rock\" or \"pop\". Of course, A Passion Play, and several other songs, like Thick as a Brick.
Carol Fishbeck - My mom. :-) Amazing pianist and composer. I\'ll see if I can submit some of her music as GPL for PS.
Theme from Dark City - Of course, I like the movie even more
Danny Elfman - Speaking of movie themes...though just about all his music is the same. The Spider-Man theme is especially good.
Gustav Holst - \"Mars\" gives me goosebumps!
The Chassidic Song Festival and Lamb - You just wouldn\'t understand. :-)
Yanni - You probably wouldn\'t understand, haha.
Enya and Loreena McKennitt - Too bad for PS that their music is copyrighted.
Ofra Haza - Pretty cool person, too.
Ray Lynch - Really nice when they play it at Wal-Mart
The Cardigans & Tom Jones play \"Burning Down the House\"...I\'m not joking. And it\'s better than the original...I think I downloaded that from MP3.com, tho...hard to find.

What do I not like? Um, Country and Rap...err C-Rap? Now don\'t get me wrong, I like Bluegrass. I also can\'t stand K-Ci & Jo-Jo or The Underpriviledged. I also don\'t like Triple 6 Mafia. (yeah, I\'m sure I\'m making someone in Tennessee angry.) I also don\'t like my own music...

Wow, this message is half of the maximum size!

Just gotta love those russian war songs ;)

I recognize a lot of the names in your posts in my own arsenal of music... although my music is mainly death metal, I still love the occasional melodic rock song... actually, anything melodic, and it\'s got my ear :)

Here are my favourites:
melodic electronics: orbital/bt/underworld,....
jazz: atmospheric jazz, I very much like Jan Garbarek
I like ambient with variation or deep atmosphere - (check \"liquid morphine\")
modern folk
and modern classics - not to much dissonance please -
furthermore I like funk with an attitude - \"this funk is of the hook\"
and about all alternative classics
and anything with a challenging groove

Post by: Drilixer on August 12, 2003, 01:54:49 am: Big Band Jazz!!!!

(I spit on rap and pop music... cookie-cutter singers *phooey*)
Title:
Post by: Kluger on August 12, 2003, 07:20:32 am: \"Big Band Jazz!!!!\" - Ooohh yeah! That\'s the only kinda music that you should \"Whoop!\" to...

I really like big band jazz (and find most other kinds of jazz a little boring), but I have not had the luck finding songs I like that I have with all other popular genres. Like, I can think of some songs, but I have no clue what they\'re called. (For example, I remember one really popular one that starts with big drums. I remember it was played in a concert hall, which was a real breakthrough for the genre.)

Of course, I dunno if this counts, but it\'s still really awesome. Mason Williams: Classical Gas... It\'s sorta like a classical guitar football theme...

No genre beats that of The Metal Kings!! (IMO :P)

All glory to the Kings of Metal!!

Post by: Wedge on August 13, 2003, 10:07:49 pm: Trying to find good music got to complicated for me, so now I only listen to stuff I know I\'ll like now. Namely music from video games and anime that I like! That can cover tons of stuff, but a lot of it is RPG games, Konami stuff, Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, and FLCL (The Pillows). Silent Hill 3 came with the full soundtrack, that rules! But I do like music made for soley for musics sake too, in particular I LOVE And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead, Source Tags & Code is a great album.

And on the subject of music, in case you live in a dark cave or something... OverClocked ReMix (http://www.ocremix.org)
Title:
Post by: Kluger on August 14, 2003, 06:49:35 am: BTW, I\'m listening to Led Zep\'s Trampled Under Foot. Next is Battle for Evermore... then probably gonna listen to ...And Justice For All. :D

And in case anyone missed it all the other times I mentioned it, A Passion Play (http://web.agria.hu/kepenu/jethro/apassion/apassion.mid) is the greatest song ever made. ;-) Really wish I could give you all the whole song, as the lyrics (http://remus.rutgers.edu/JethroTull/Albums/APassionPlay-lyrics.html) are so beautiful! :]

Post by: druke on August 14, 2003, 08:27:56 am: hmm... well i listen to all except rap and pop, had urges to listen to old time rock\'n roll lately so now a big fan of queen and AC/DC

but metallica have sucked for a while now... especially with their new album...! yuck!!!
Title:
Post by: Kluger on August 20, 2003, 05:14:02 pm: I would have to say I like all of Metallica except Kill \'em All and their very newest stuff. Kill \'em All was okay, but man! \"If I could get my wasted days back, I would get my life back on track.\" Umm, that\'s not quite the \"So I cry to the alleyway, confess all to the rain, but I lie, I lie straight to the mirror, the one I\'ve broken to match my face,\" kind of poetry that we\'re used to.

Now if they entered in an Ozzy era, I wouldn\'t complain.

I think if we give James a while to tap into his left hemisphere without the use of alcohol, he will eventually get even better than before.

The S&M albums really blew me away! I had expected the same ol\' Metal *versus* Symphony. Then, when \"The Ecstasy of Gold\" started, I was like, \"Um, what tape did I stick in?\" Then again, at most concert halls, the audience shuffles in silently, sits, waits for the music, then only claps at the end. It\'s considered rude to cough! So those musicians must have been scared out of their minds to have a concert hall full of maniacs, screaming, using foul language, whistling, and pressing their way up to the stage! I guess that\'s what made me think that it was actually a Metallica concert.

Then the Call of Ktulu came on. ooohh yeahh... ~_~ And it turned out to be a truly great blend of symphony and metal, each complementing itself perfectly!

Anywayz, enough ranting.

Prokofiev rocks!
Title:
Post by: Xalthar on August 20, 2003, 08:27:56 pm: yeah, I really liked some of Metallica\'s old stuff, but either my taste in music has dramatically changed, or Metallica\'s style has dumped!

I admit that most of the music I listen to is Death-metal, but still I listen to bands like metallica when they release something new.. They\'ve just continually dissapointed me, so I\'ve stopped listening to them.

But that\'s only me :P

my favourite bands remain the same as always, albeit with a few addons ;)
