    lol - Your user name and avatar kinda gives that one away... :p

    Tori Amos is a personal favourite, I've used her songs as user names, too (on other sites, I've used Code Red and Digital Ghost... :)).

    <<< Look sideways, and then look no further ;) Alter Bridge - Blackbird. My favourite band and favourite album (with the 1st track and the track named "Blackbird" both possible candidates for my favourite song :p)


    I like "Rock" music. Some people would say "I don't like rock, i like alternative rock/ punk rock / metal / nu metal / hard metal / death metal etc..." but since i dont really know what makes what genre which, or necessarily feel the need to try and label each one, i just say "Rock." :rolleyes: For a more accurate idea of what that is, my favourite artists :

    Alter Bridge and Audioslave are my top 2, but in case you dont know what they are like some more well known of my favourites to give you a rough idea are :

    Red Hot Chili Peppers
    Slipknot
    Foo Fighters
    Rage Against The Machine
    Linkin Park

    I've heard it. A little too much if I'm honest... But I still like them. I preferred them before that album. Last Summer is a great song
    As for my favourite music, I'm all over the place these days. Some of my favourite bands:
    Blink-182, Underoath, Anberlin, Paramore, +44, Enter Shikari, Panic! At The Disco (I wish they kept the exclaimation mark haha) and Protest The Hero. I'm getting into instrumental stuff like Andy McKee, Explosions In The Sky and And So I Watch You From Afar (You probably havent heard of these guys. They are more locally popular in where I live)

    I'm going to be totally lazy and do this...

    Gone Wishing's musical taste...

    If anyone's really that interested in what I listen to, that page will show you everything from what I'm listening to right now, to most played bands and tracks, in various time frames. :p

    (Did someone say massive Tori Amos bias?)

    Over 120 CDs? Wow. Kurt Cobain was the best guy there ever was. Goo Goo Dolls is the band with the most need of a name change.

    My favorite band overall is Coheed and Cambria, followed very closely by Tool (I'm a big prog rock/prog metal fan). I also like some Linkin Park, A Perfect Cirle, Alkaline Trio, Greenday, A7X, Disturbed, and Three Days Grace.

    I own around 2000 CDs and 1000 Vinyl and counting. I add around 10 a week. I just love the hard copies and could never resort to downloading illegally or legally. I say never - I have about 5 albums or something from download.

    My favourites vary from week to week but favourites recently inlcude:

    Clockcleaner - Babylon Rules (80s goth influenced rock like Birthday Party and Bauhaus)
    Get Well Soon - Rest Now, Weary Head (German (I think) folktronica - excellent singer-songwriting with a beguiling cover of Underworld's Born Slippy)
    Murder By Death - Red of Tooth and Claw (like Johnny Cash if he listened to a lot more Soundgarden before his death)

    And all time favourites:

    Cooper Temple Clause - See This Through And Leave (indie rock)
    Raveonettes - all - lovely 50s rock n' roll approach to modern indie songs
    Joy Division - all - troubled post-punk genius

    And 100s of others of course!

    I just know you were all waiting for me to post up that my all time favourite band in the world is...


    dun dun dunnnnnnnnnnnnnn...

    Wait for it... wait for it!


    TOOL!!! and the greatest song ever is SCHISM by TOOL! :p hehehe!

    I tend to like the real heavy metal. Cannibal Corpse is ace, Morbid Angel, Tool, Weird Al Alkovic is awesome lol gotta love it. AC/DC, GNR (Sharky... shush! :p), erm... I listen to Veruca Salt and a few others that Dan has introduced me to. NOt heavey metal, but sounds alright. But I love heavy metal! It is the most relaxing music ever!
    I don't mind Ludwig Van Beethoven either. (sorry if I spelt that wrong...)

    I avoid rap and some recent pop stuff as well. I don't really pay enough attention to genre to categorize the music I listen to, other than classical music and jazz.

    Composers I'll listen to:

    Shostakovitch
    Wagner
    Granger

    Jazz musicians/bands:

    Coltrane
    Cannonball Adderly

    Other:

    Warren Zevon (easily my favorite artist of any)
    Neil Diamond
    Elton John
    Bob Seger

    Stop making me jealous ;-)
    I have around 30, no vinyls for me though.
    I found the funniest comment on youtube yesterday
    it was on the video for Psychosocial by Slipknot
    "Bands like the Jonas Brothers and N Sync are way tougher than Slipknot, they are real hardcore rock"

    These are several bands and artists I like in no particular order:

    Linkin Park, Disturbed, Celldweller, AFI, Incubus, Mindless Self Indulgence, Family Force 5, Angels and Airwaves, +44, Papa Roach, Chevelle, Atreyu, Daft Punk, Trapt, Julien-K, Coheed and Cambria, Finch, Gorillaz, Gackt, Karate High School, and The Offspring


    I like a LOT of music, alot of different music too. Most of my favorites are in the Rock/Alternative category but I do like Electronic, Dance, some foreign music, Classical (very relaxing), some Hip-Hop and Rap that don't fall in to the mainstream lyrics about money and girls and cars and crap.

    The only music I will never listen to is country...

    TOOL's just plain incredible. When I started listening, I only liked some of their more popular songs. But as I listened to the 2 CD's I've got from them (10,000 Days and lateralus), I've begun to like more. 10,000 days (the song) and lateralus (the song) are both amazing.
