Music Taste & Preference

February 18th, 2016 04:04 PM

So I was just curious to know what sort of music you all like to listen to. I expect that most of you are like me and your music choice varies by day, mood, setting, etc. but if you had to pick a the artists and genres you find yourself listening to most often when you have a choice, what would those be?

For myself, symphonic/gothic/European/folk metal is probably towards the top of the list. Some bands (in no particular order) include:

• Tristania
• Epica
• Xandria
• Leave's Eyes
• Elysion
• Nightwish
• Sirenia
• Evanescence
• Within Temptation
• Onyria
• Indica
• Angelzoom
• Eluveitie
• Rammstein
• Blutengel

Next on the list would be nonvocal music. I'm actually not sure what category this music falls under and I think different artists would fall under different categories, but here's a few examples:

• Koan
• Emancipator
• Apocolyptica
• Jeremy Soule
• Howard Shore
• Adrion Von Ziggler
• Hammock
• Audrey Fall
• Mortifer V.
• TheEnigmaTNG

Next in line would be more popular music, most if not all of which I believe is of American Origin. Examples include:

• Icon For Hire
• Paramore
• Nomy
• 30 Seconds From Mars
• The Offspring
• Five Finger Death Punch
• Rise Against
• Fallout Boy
• Panic! At the Disco
• Gorillaz
• Eminem

Oh, and game soundtracks. Lots of game soundtracks.

If you care enough, go ahead and list your favorites too!

Edit: One last thing - being an American I don't think I've met anyone who listens to or has even made mention of all but 1 or 2 of the bands listed under European. Am I just that strange or is it a culture thing?

I listen to everything, generally. Sometimes it's Tegan and Sara, maybe some Lady Gaga, other days it might be Crass, Motorhead, or Simon & Garfunkel.

In the spirit of my favorite movie, I'll do a top 5.

The Clash
Frank Turner
The Replacements
Bad Religion
Amanda Palmer

I may listen to a lot of variety, but at the end of the day, I'm still a punk rock kid.
