I like a lot of different stuff, that way I'm never too annoyed when I'm at a party.
My favorites are Kid Rock, The Who, Limp Bizkit, Blink 182, Frank Sinatra, Bon Jovi, Elvis, Green Day, Third Eye Blind, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, The Temptations...
I only like a few R&B tunes- Nelly's Must be the Money, Shaggy's Angel
I can take Rap for a while, only if each track sounds real different.
In terms of Country, well...Five minutes, after that I'll eat my ears off!  ------------------
I hope that after I die, people will say of me: "That guy sure owed me a lot of money!"

OK. After 4 pages of this I guess I'll throw in my 3.7 cents.I listen to and create Electronic Music. I'm not talking about House, Trance, Techno,(ie. thump, thump, thump, thump-thump-thump) but something more satisfying... referred to these days as IDM (Intelligent Dance Music). I listen to bands under the label WARP (www.warprecords.com) and REPHLEX (www.rephlex.com). A couple of bands under those labels are: Aphex Twin
Boards of Canada
Other bands that influence my writing are:
Lemonjelly
Meat Beat Manifesto
Blue States
Amon Tobin
Dead Can Dance
Bent
Squarepusher
Vangelis I'll refrain from listing all of them for the sake of everyone in the forum, but if any of you are into similar or are making your own electronic music & would like to chat about it... email me! talitronic@hotmail.com L8R

I like all that stuff too, they're a lot of fun (but light on the Elvis, please). Country's a broad category, a lot of it is mighty plastic (Reba, anyone? Her stuff's not aging well.) After always being a scotch & rocks guy, I think the first beer I truly enjoyed was with some friends around 1976 at about 1:30 in the morning when Jerry Lee Lewis was hosting & had to fill a last segment of "Midnight Special". He played Hank Williams "Cold, Cold Heart", just him & the piano, I got a beer, & it was the most righeous time in the whole damn world.

I was cruisin to work and on my way I heard a song that I thought was by America, I belive that it was Ventura Highway, and it is a darn good song. But All of a sudden I hear these girls come singing into the song with this R & B shit and I quickly turn it off and it ruined my day. That sorta stuff always ruines my day. Its kinda like when you are listening to the radio and this really good song comes on but they only play a couple seconds of it because its a comercial or something. Anyway here is some of the stuff I listen to:Abba
Disturbed
Pappa Roach
Beatles
Holst
Beethoven
America
Smetana
James Taylor
The Temptations
UB40
Blink 182
George Thorougood (did I spell that right?)
Wynton Marsallis
Benny Goodman
Creed
George Harrison
Allan Parsons Project
Marvin Gaye
The Cars
Miles Davis
Neil Diamond
Victor Wooten
Frank Sinatra
The Who
Statler Brothers
Bob Seger
TONY BENNET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hadyn
Starship
Charles Mingus Now thats a wide range of stuff, but still no rap crap.

I used to be into Metallica till the black album, then after that, stopped listening to them (black album ruled). Still listen to GNR, Billy Idol, White Zombie, Danzing. But Ive got different tastes, Im into singers like Dean Martin, TOM JONES (anyone want to do a Carlton dance?), Sinatra of course. I like some of the disco songs, Madonna, Abba, etc, so Im all over the place musically. I dont like country, rap (crap, I know thats been done already).

I have one word for you: CREED!Wait, I have two more words for you: The Cure. OK, those are my favorites. Basically, I like any kind of rock, with my preference leaning toward alternative. Other favorites:
Live
Metallica (have every album - they definitely kick some major ass; and yes, I like their new stuff just as much as their old),
Sister Hazel (huge fan)
Smash Mouth (stop laughing! BTW, I hate All Star  )
Dave Mathews The aren't too many songs that would cause me to change the channel if I'm listening to an alternative station. I also listen to "rock" stations. Many bands are played on both, and I don't understand the difference. Anyone care to enlighten me? Oh, and I also like classic rock (I said I like pretty much any kind of rock.) Styx and Rush. I, too, love soundtracks. My favorites are Disturbing Behavior (the SCORE, not the "soundtrack,") and The Truman Show. Can someone please tell me why albums that contain songs that aren't even in the movie ("inspired by") are referred to as soundtracks, and lots of times the score is hard to find? (I had to do a little digging to find Disturbing Behavior)

The primary reason is money. The soundtrack (score) community isn't very large and most labels need to sell about 16,000 CDs just to break even when producing an album. The population of the score listeners out there is probably in the low thousands. There is also the cost of re-use fees (money paid to the union that in turn pays the orchestra players their salary) which can be about $30,000 or more pending on which orchestra you record the score with. Then some areas pay in increments of time which is why most scores are only about thirty or forty minutes long. Then the company spends about another $80,000 to press some 20,000 CDs and the whole project can easily cost about $100,000. For soundtracks in which mainstream bands play the music, the pressure to sell as many units isn't as high because the audience is in the millions usually. Titanic sold about a million CDs mainly because of the Celine Dion song. Other orchestral scores may also feature one or two pop songs to help sell the soundtrack. Howard Shore's upcoming Lord of the Rings is supposed to feature two or three songs by Enya. Now there are expections of course to full length complete symphonic scores. Composers like John Williams, Danny Elfman, James Horner, and Thomas Newman usually do quite well when a score only album is released. But they have a pretty broad fan base. Whereas composers like David Newman, Craig Safan, John Debney, and Bruce Broughton only have a few scores released while several of their other projects are collectables in the forms of limited editions, promos, bootlegs and such. Here are some of the best places to check for rare scores if that's your thing.
www.intrada.com
Click on Enter the Store and you can select the catalog by composer or title. www.supercollector.com
Click on Store then scroll down to the soundtracks link. www.screenarchives.com
Hope that's helps answer you're question, Ken. ------------------
