I am not so familiar with this genre.

Have these influenced Primus and/or System of a Down?

Incidentally, yesterday I was listening to Studio Brussel (my fave radio station) in the car, and there was this English band, from Brighton (or Bristol or Birmingham, something like along those lines). They had a really weird name.
80's matchbox B-line disaster. I warn you, this is just what I heard on the radio, and might not be the right spelling.

Do any of these names sound familiar to you, nixon?

When 80's Matchbox B-Line Disaster came to play in York we were asked to support them.  I couldn't coz I was working.  I've heard a bit of their stuff.  Sounds about right to me.

I listen to a little bit of everything all the time, so I didn't vote.

[Reply #43 on:]

I listen to many genres really, but out of all those from the list, trance is my most favorite.

The two choices that attracted me the most were dance and trance. But I thought dance would allude to the cheesy techno stuff like Ian Van Dahl and Paul Oakenfold so I chose trance. Really, though. I like lots of electronic music. Trance, euro, jungle, goa, D&B, German hardcore, gabber, house, etc etc.

I'm also partial to the old-skool and underground hip-hop stuff like Beastie Boys, Jurassic 5 and Hieroglyphics.

R&B
Dance/ Trance
Hip Hop
Rap
Pop
Death Metal
Country
Avril Lavigne

Uh yeah, baby,  we have something in common   
But you miss your chance by mentioning Avril Lavigne…   

@Spiff, right now I'm going to buy some new music. Just wanted to ask about Guano Apes. I didn't here any of theirs. Are they something like System of a Down?
You see, I'm quite uneducated in alternative/progressive rock   . What can you suggest me?

PS: And, yes, I think said it thousands times before:
I like most: Metal. From good old Heavy Metal (which is not really heavy) to Death and Black Metal. Also Gothic and some Folk…
But I listen to a wide variety.

[Reply #45 on:]

I like listening to practically anything that I feel has a good tune (and I mean anything)

I don't usually like much Dance songs, but if they put some String melodies to good use then usually it catches me. PPK is probably my favourite Dance...duo I guess I could call them.

Other music I like could be movie soundtrack, game soundtrack, classical, modern, "futuristic"(New Age usually) Rap (in some cases) Rock, Pop (in somecases) R&B (in some cases, I actually prefer the old meaning of Rythem and Blues), Choiral...oh anything.

I first heard of the Guano Apes when I was in Budapest in '99. The kid who I was staying with at the homestay was a really big fan of theirs. In fact, the week after I left, he went to some big outdoor concert that they headlined.

I wouldn't call them System of a Down-ish, because I hate to relate a band's sound to another bands. They are hard rock, but with a female vocalist. If anything, it's very skate-friendly punk rock. Don't take this as a bad thing, but it does sound like an extreme sports commerical. But in a good sense.

Go for "Lord of the Boards" or anything else off of "Proud Like a God." THat's what Adam (the homestay kid) listened to a lot, so that's what I know.

[Reply #47 on:]

I've only ever heard "Dodel Up" and their cover of Alphaville's "Big In Japan".  That's it.

[Reply #48 on:]

I found a cd I had been searching for for close to a month now, that felt good.

Brings the album collection total up to an 430.   Less than 50 are burned, hooray.

I might be interpratating that wrong, and sorry if I am, but you make it sound as if Rock fans can't like Dance. I love Rock and Dance, infact they're my two fave genres 

[Reply #54 on:]

I cannot limit myself to one genre.

I am often looking for extremes: the hardest, the fastest, the weirdest, the most relaxing, etc.

The hardest music I got in my collection:
Ec8oR, Atari Teenage Riot and Alec Empire (all three from Digital Hardcore Recordings), Napalm Death.
I admire Aphex Twin for his versatility. He makes the most chilling ambient, as well as sparky and jumpy electro. Some of his pieces are extremely monotonous, where his more recent work never stays the same for even a second.

Music in my collection with meaningful criticising and often cynical and sarcastic lyrics: Dead Kennedys.

I listen to classical music from time to time. I am very selective though. I don't like Mozart or Beethoven.
Mahler is my favourite so far, but there are so many things I 've heard only very little of, like Berlioz.

When I am in the car, I always switch back and forth between Studio Brussel and Klara. Studio Brussels is modern and in the late/early hours they play rather unknown and alternative things. Klara is a cultural/classical radio station. Sometimes they play ethnic and jazz.

No. I didn't mean it like that. Some Rock music songs are pretty call.

[Reply #56 on:]

Yeah, they certainly are

I might be interpreting that wrong aswell, but I failed to understand a word of that.

By R&B are we talking Muddy Waters or Destiny's Child.
Best, insult, ever. Many many thanks Melllvar and my drumming teacher

Huh?

Tunneling yourself into such a small bracket as presented in this list, will not allow you to experiance the wide varity of music out there. (you do not need good speeling or grammer to have good musical taste.)
Let's see I genrally liek to listen to
Heavy metal (Iron maiden ect)
epic metal (Kamelot)
J-pop(Ai Orikusa ect)
Sound tracks
rock (Everclear)
Punk in general (AFI, Less than jake ect)
Rap (Beastie boys)
Soul (BArry White)
Cheese metal (bow to the might that is \m/Stan Bush\m/)


So I like to think I'm not boxing myself in. So I choose other.

  Waahoo!  You better believe that if you're talking about R&B, it better not be Destiny's Child, that's a total misnomer if ever I heard one.

If you are, go away listen to more and more varied genres of music, because you know NOTHING!   

[Reply #63 on:]

I like to listen to some songs from the 90s.

[Reply #64 on:]

[said in my best Sean Connery Voice] Rock - Classic Rock [/Sean Connery Voice]

I will listen to almost anything at least once, but given the choice, I usually head for the lcassic rock jems.

[Reply #65 on:]

i voted for Punk Rock though for the first time ever i agree with tmc about it being a sad day when classical is not an option.
i dont like this pop punk though. about the only music i dont listen to is R&B, anything that has to do with jesus, & country.
right now i'm listening to the new Radiohead and this is everything i have been hungering for musically.

[Reply #66 on:]

i like everything except pop, so i won't click anything.

[Reply #67 on:]

i listen to older punk rock, ska, emo, etc.  I try to avoid pop, pop punk, pop rock, r&b, rap (except for a select few) and anybody who appears with Carson Daily.

[Reply #68 on:]

I like classical, As movies has taught us, its good for thinking about moods. I like SKa more than punk really

[Reply #69 on:]

I like pop/ rock.  By this, I mean bands like Trapt, GC, Nine Days, etc.  I also like some metal, like Metallica and Adema.  And I also like Linkin Park, Evanescence and so on. I also like some hip hop- Ja Rule, Lumidee, J. Lo. Actually, I like whatever sounds good.  I could hate. say orchestras in general, but if it's s good song, I'll like it.  So whatever catches my ears I like. But mostly rock.

[Reply #70 on:]

My music tastes are broad. I like: Dance, Trance, House (Funky, Laid back, Chilled, Deep, and French), Euphoric, Ambient, Orchesteral/Instrumental, Indie Rock/Band music, some (but not all) hip-hop, funk, classic motown soul... and that's it, i think...

[Reply #71 on:]

hmmm... i'ld like to add math-rock, noise-rock and hardcore to my list (and combinations of all those).
although i still have no idea what to vote.

[Reply #72 on:]

Pop/Rock eg Michael Jackson, the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Nirvana, Manic Street Preachers, Robbie Williams, Blur, Oasis
Indy: eg Travis, Starsailer, Coldplay

I also like listening to film scores such as John Williams work.

What do I hate? Trance, and Rap although I actually like quite a bit of Eminems stuff.

[Reply #73 on:]

I like all the genres. What should I vote?

[Reply #74 on:]

Vote "indecisive bastard."

Or "Pat Buchanan."

[Reply #75 on:]

All rock, all the time.  I don't listen to much else.

[Reply #76 on:]

I saw Lynyrd Skynyrd and Deep Purple the other night and they were absolutely brilliant, plenty of long haired bikers and old guys there and hardly any chicks to get up on my shoulders (a perfect way to hijack someone, cos I'm over 6 foot and they'd be too scared to fall off  ).
Great night, except for the waiting until 2am for a bus home. 

[Reply #77 on:]

Lynyrd Skynyrd: 3 original members dead.

or

Lynyrd Skynyrd: The 1970s' equivalent to Kid Rock.

Nah, I'm kidding. I'm sure you had a wonderful time.

[Reply #78 on:]

Lynyrd didn't give you a ride home?

[Reply #79 on:]

My sis offered to go to to Graspop, a metal festival with me. She 's usually not into heavy metal, but she wants to see Within Temptation. That 's ok with me, and on the same day I can also see Ministry.

Other bands that day: Alice Cooper, Iron Maiden, Anthrax, Sick Of It All, Murderdolls, Pro-Pain...

I only like the bands named in the first paragraph though. Would it be worth forking out € 50 for?
