I know it's kind of juvenile, but I feel like that today. List your favorite band, band(s), composers, artist, dj, rapper, producer, etc. I'm always interested in hearing what other people listen to.

    There is no place like 127.0.0.1 BUT 209.62.5.3 is my 127.0.0.1 away from 127.0.0.1!

    I really enjoy most if not all music. However, by trade im a metal head, and if I had to choose just one band, Metallica takes the cake. I also enjoy playing their music as well.

    Chevelle and Breaking Benjamin right now. My all time favorite band is Metallica when they were in their prime (not the current Metallica). And Justice for All, Black Album, Master of Puppets, etc...

    I'm in the same vein as royal and snadam. I love metal, but most of the new stuff sucks. I liked the fantasy elements, epic solos, etc. that were present in old Metallica, Iron Maiden, Ozzy, etc. That's hard to find nowadays. I don't keep up with pop or rap, and I listen to Paul Oakenfold or something similar while I'm studying.

    I enjoy classical music. There are so many pieces I like that it is hard to choose, but if I had to pick a favorite composer would be probably be Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, though he has a lot of close seconds (especially Vivaldi/Beethoven/Handel).

    For some situatins I like different types of music however such as Gonna Fly Now or Eye of the Tiger from Rocky if I am going to be exercising.

    In the classical genre I would have to go for Rachmaninov. Fun stuff to listen to and fun stuff to play!

    I also used to play the guitar and I loved playing Metallica songs. I do listen to a little hip hop here and there, but 95% of the time it's rock/metal.

    Ok Royal, dynamik, we are jamming out if we ever in the same place at the same time! None of my friends have been playing as long as me, nor do they like the same music. I got forced into a dave matthews cover band icon_rolleyes.gif , drove me nuts but I got to play with other people...

    I should specify, I also think that 1983-1991 metallica was what I was referring to, but Id figure that was a given.

    Im also a large fan of the old school thrashers coming out with new albums recently like exodus, and Testament

    some of my fav bands other than Metallica: Pantera, slayer, Alice in Chains, Godsmack, Five Finger Death Punch (new but good), Hatebreed, Tool, Ozzy, Rob/White Zombie, Cavalera Conspiracy (although its not quite sepultura) is a great band. Man the list goes on


    Non metal:

    old school west coast rap like snoop dre NWA etc. I like some of that dirty south, but not most of it. Most if not all RAP nowadays is garbage. I am a big fan of Mr Johnny Cash which seems out of place, but I really enjoy his music. Old School Weezer was good too. Pretty much any 90's rock (not alternative) I also enjoy.

    My all time favorite band is Van Halen.

    I love old school Metallica. I'm also a huge Tool fan, let's see what else... I'm also a long time guitar player so I love Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Steve Morse, Jimi Hendrix, Gary Moore, Eric Johnson, Paul Gilbert, etc.

    Snadam, you and I are twins. The rap that I do like is Dre, Snoop, NWA, and all the old school stuff. I don't really listen to it much anymore (sometimes I do), but I listened to it a lot back in high school. I also do like Johnny Cash. This is pretty funny. :)

    See a lot of prog rock fans on here. However, I just can't do the latest Dream Theater stuff. They seemed to have hit a wall creatively, or maybe the prog metal genre is just exhausted, I'm not sure.

    Favorite bands of today: Tool, Radiohead, Muse (I've seen a lot of concerts in my lifetime, but these guys are the best EVAR!), The Mars Volta (you prog metal fans, these guys are the future!), Thrice, Say Anything, The Apex Theory, Bright Eyes, Silverchair, anything with Chris Thile (getting more into progressive bluegrass), and Outkast

    Bands from the past I enjoy but don't really like their newer stuff: Rush, Dream Theater, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Yes, Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam...

    Since I play piano, I love good piano based music, and I'm a complete sucker for chicks on pianos, too. Ex. Tori Amos, Fiona Apple, Rachael Yamagata, Charlotte Martin...
    Good luck to all!

    Nine Inch Nails - since Trent Reznor hooked his Mac classic up to a minimoog and emulator II in 1987 I've been a huge fan, and have a great respect for him as a business person (hey, his latest albums are all free) and 'technologist'. I think he's one of the few people in music who is sincere in his lyrics and writes good songs. He is also very smart technologically - from producing and programming to engineering.

    I've seen them live 5-6 times and the live shows really seem to convey Trent's music and lyrics.

    New album was released today in lossless, mp3, and all the master tracks are given away under creative commons. His music isn't for everyone, but it's very diverse and I think it is respectible even if you don't like keyboards, drum machines, and guitars :)

    Kaiser Chiefs is the best band i've ever seen live! really fun. Linkin Park is pretty good, and I'm a big faithless fan :)

    My Gf got me into a lot of old school music, such as the Beatles, Eric Clapton :D

    Favorite all time band for me is Iron Maiden...and I get to see them play a sick set in June! Right now, I'm really digging O.A.R., Live at Madison Square Garden. Other than that, jamrock is pretty good too.....

    OK! Brace yourselves! This is going to come as a total shock! My favorite band is Megadeth! icon_lol.gif

    So, maybe not that much of a shock. I like most metal, even the cheesy power metal, like Dragonforce.

    I guess I'm another guitarist on this forum, I didn't realize we had so many on this forum.

    Without a doubt IRON MAIDEN!! If you like old school 80's metal style metal there isn't much now a days to choose from here in the US. But Europe still has great meatl bands. Check out these 2 bands BRAINSTORM (German) or Lechery (Sweden). Both are on Myspace.....

    I liked Iron Miaden up until "can i play with madness" after that they went down hill.Same deal with metalica after the black album they went to shite.
    Networking, sometimes i love it, mostly i hate it.Its all about the $$$$

    Agreed, although Load did have a few good songs.

    The best analogy for Metallica I've heard is Load was the first shotgun blast to their career. Reload finished the job. icon_lol.gif
    Good luck to all!

    So what was St. Anger? Dragging the corpse of their career behind a monster truck?

    I thought the symphony collaboration was pretty cool though.

    I never heard of Dragonforce until GH3....definitely a kickass song though....

    Did MD get back together, or is it still just Dave and Company touring as Megadeth?......All I need is Peace Sells and I'm happy.....
