Music

After the work is done, and you are done reading (or for some of you writing) your books, what do the good people of TE listen to (as far as music)? Who are some of your favorite artist?

Me I like most all types of music (anything but country). I have many artist I like but I have a soft spot for System of a Down because Steal This AlBUlM and Toxicity introduced me to Metal and Rock as a whole.

Love, love, love, System of a Down. I highly recommend their first album. "Suggestions" is an awesome song, one of my favorites.

System & Alice in Chains are two of my favorites and my staple music to go to when I want to listen to something loud and scream my lungs out singing along. (EDIT: how could I forget the best scream-along song of all...Korn's "Blind" - omg, who needs therapy?!) I do still love the old grunge-era stuff, and I generally like hard rock but I branch out a bit to some older 80's stuff too (I am a child of the 80's after all, and I lurve The Police) and semi-alternative stuff (Sia is awesome).

I'm a rocker through and through. Here's a list of my favorite bands: AC/DC, Van Halen not Van Hagar, Skynyrd, Def Leppard...

I've seen Def Leppard in concert at least 3-4 times...

I've also seen Foo three times now too - two times in concert, and once at a free concert at Best Buy. I kidnapped an entire department of coworkers during lunch time and went to see the BB show - absolutely fricking awesome to see them that close.

I like instrumental music mostly, differing styles. Primarily I'd say Chillout and Soundtracks (both movie and Game - I have a huge C64 remix collection

).

Mike Oldfield
William Orbit
Way out West
Sisters of Mercy
Blue October
Nine Inch Nails
Depeche Mode
Darshan Ambient
Ulrich Schnauss
James Horner
James Newton Howard
Hanz Zimmer
Jeremy Soule
Rob Hubbard
Martin Galway
Jeroen Tel

Also I've written some of my own over the years [shameless plug] The Soundtrack and Game Audio of Derek Coleman [/shameless plug] . Again game related mostly, and that site hasn't been updated in about 5 years. I've started writing again so hopefully I'll have some new tortur..er..'pieces' to pop up soon enough.

i listen to everything anymore. Some country is even included (Specifically the 'Man in Black'). Good example is while Im typing this, my Mp3 player just went from Korn (old school Korn), to Geto Boys, to Back Door Slam (weird name but AWESOME ROCK\BLUES band), to supertramp, to sublime, to Skindred to Johnny Cash. Im mostly a metal head at heart (Metallica, Pantera, Alice in Chains, Cannibal Corpse, Testament, As I lay Dying, Killswitch, Austrian Death Machine (LOL), and the list goes on. I love techno/trance as well, which is probably what I listen to most while working (chemical bros, Oakenfold, goldfrapp, Daft Punk (my fav) etc.
Whenever these music threads come up, I always get exited, then forget half the bands I listen to
