    Just don't make me ever have to listen to the Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers Christmas album - ever - again, and I don't really mind what else I have to listen to!

    (Favoured genres are metal, rock, folk, alternative, electronica, contemporary... Current musical obsessions include Deftones, Damien Rice and, as always, Tori Amos).

    I like weird music.
    My favorite band is definetly Death Cab For Cutie. I like a lot of bands with a similar style as them as well.
    I also really like Ima Robot.
    I like any bands who do things that aren't mainstream, and are original

    I find that my favorite bands go on tour together, so I guess they are similar in sound. The main genre I like is rock.

    Breaking Benjamin
    Three Days Grace
    Seether
    3 Doors Down
    Nickelback
    Disturbed

    I listen to rock music - anything from the 60's to the 00's. I have in my collection of shiny discs such diverse acts as Elvis, The Beatles, to Nile and Avenged Sevonfold.

    My best bands are Deep Purple and KoRn.

    What about Godsmack? Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace, Seether, Skillet were on tour with Godsmack. And Benjamin Burnley said that Godsmack influenced their music i think.

    i find that soundtrack from movies, games and trailers of any kind really just get me smiling and inspired. Harry Gregson-Williams and Hans Zimmer are true geniuses.
    but when it comes to bands id say Three Days Grace and Linkin Park are regulars on my playlists.

    Linkin Park is a pretty good band. But some of their good songs get old really quickly. Like the song "In The End" or "What I've Done"

    I prefer old-school roots reggae to most music. Of course, classic rock is always nice.

    I like jazz, classical piano, death metal, black metal.

    I am in a grindcore band - we've opened for Megadeth and Bleeding Through.

    I think this adequately describes my taste in music - varied.

    I'm. Different.
    I think it's the piano in the song.
    If it has a piano beginning thats boring it'll get annoying for me.
    Like the song Clocks by Coldplay that piano beginning
    you hear that same tune over and over and over and you get annoyed.

    The Killers sounds like one of those bands that are highly influenced by U2's style
