Post your favorite music here!

Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, are my top three. It doesn't look too unique, but there is a reason why they are a lot of people's favorites!

I like a lot more, but there are too many to name...

I'll listen to just about anything that sounds good, from hardcore gangsta rap to heavy metal, from classical music to dubstep, and everything in between. My main concern is that the music is made for love of the art, not love for money. Nothing pisses me off more than fabricated poppy bitches singing lyrics that were written for them over music that was made for them.

Like the wiki page says, I don't listen to "normal" music. So...I listen to those stuff made for Vocaloid, whether originals or covers, both the pretty good and the really bad songs. I also like the songs that come out for some series I like where the voice actors sing stuff. Yep, I like that kind of music...

I enjoy anything with spirit and passion and tend to chose what I listen to based on my mood but gravitate by default to metal and punk.

Most played at this moment in no order.. Slayer, Fear Factory, Nine Inch Nails, Send More Paramedics, Voi Vod, Nuclear Assault, Dead Kennedys, Dirty Rotten Imbaciles, Bob Dylan, NWA, Napalm Death, Marilyn Manson, Lamb of God.

I second that. Adding the newly rediscovered LP collection of my dad, updated with my own Dire Straits and Pink Floyd.

Tom Waits! <3

(plus the regulars as Gorillaz, Peppers, the Killers, Soulwax, Justice, ...)

I'd like to say I have far ranging taste and can listen to just about anything, but that usually ends up with people mentioning something, me wrinkling my nose at it, and looking quite silly really. The best I can say is that my tastes change and grow ever broader with each passing year and I've come along way from first getting into music via a mix of Metal and Dido! O.o

Won't go into favourites as they ebb and flow, but my playlists have been filled by Radiohead, Queens of the Stone Age, Soulsavers, the Prodigy and new discovery Los Campesinos! of late.

Ditto.

My mother-tongues in music are guitar-driven jazz, hymns, bluegrass, and Irish folk. Those are the musical styles that still, for me, prove most evocative, and so I naturally like a lot of singer/songwriter type stuff. But I listen off and on to lots of music, including mindlessly shallow pop, occasional hardcore stuff, rap, and techno. A while back I went on a reggae and orchestral kick, but that seems to have died down. At this exact instant I listening to a playlist of Coldplay, Over the Rhine, Sufjan Stevens, Radiohead, Belle and Sebastian, Cake, Bob Dylan, Deathcab For Cutie, Christ Tomlin, and Frank Sinatra.

I'm gonna take note on those, the only one I know is  Pretty Lights.

Also I have a couple of Thonet & Vander 2.0 that sound pretty neat!

I'm disappointed you don't know Miles Davis! Doo-Bop is somewhat heavy on the bass and even has Mobb Deep rap in a few of his songs. Deadmau5 is also a very famous techno artist. A Tribe Called Quest is an old school rap group (I dislike most rap these days), and Flux Pavilion is dubstep.

You see, my music taste usually depends on my general mood from day to day. Everyone has those days for just the chill, relaxing music or the upbeat good-times music. Mine just varies at a high speed. Nothing weird  ;)

Today, however, my Top 5 has changed. In no order, they are:
Deadmau5
Dom Kennedy
Bob Marley
Crystal Castles
Daft Punk

I like symphonic metal - Epica and Therion being my two faves. Therion in particular seems to have something for whatever mood I'm in, ranging from angry dark thrash death to more operatic and symphonic. For more symphonic music I go to the classics: Bach (the master maestro of all time, hands-down), Chopin, Liszt; the Russians: Rachmaninoff, Prokofiev, Stravinsky, Shostakovich, Tchaikovsky, and of course the Red Army Chorus and Band for the more folksy stuff.

I generally don't like the music all of my friends have ever liked, and vice versa. People I know like a smattering, a small selection, in small, easy-to-digest doses, of the more famous classical. I don't as yet know anyone who likes Epica or Therion.

As a composer I find music too enthralling to have as "background," especially at parties and other get-togethers where I tend to think the goal is to communicate with other people. The music kind of stops me from being able to communicate. I view music as an experience unto itself; doing nothing but listening to it. Nobody I know really has the patience for that, especially regarding lengthier works. And I don't really have the patience whatsoever for the repetitive, easy-to-dance-to format that just about all music takes. 4/4 or 2/4, endlessly - BORES the crap out of me.

[Kain]

Sonata Arctica, Paramore, Green day, Lars Winnerbäck, Veronica Maggio.

The first mentioned band is my favorite.

omg that was hilarious, especially when they shortly show the group of women on the stairs now and then just standing there.

I also listen to almost all music but mostly it's music from the 50/60/70's and some from the 80's.
I also like 90s rock like nirvana, radio head rage against the machine and so forth.
But mostly, blues(original blues and blues rock starting from mid 60s canned heat for example), rock before 90s, jazz(all forms of jazz i like, mostly styles like chet baker an billie holiday and the more guitar orientated like wes montgomery and grant green), funk(anykind of funk will do) and during BM mostly classical music (no opera or voices of any kind while writing or reading, more like chopin, beethoven, jean sibilius, eric satie, handel, gluck, wagner, bach, Vivaldi, Grieg, rachmaninov, albinoni etc)  or even medieval classical music :P
Indian classical and modern fussion music i really love to as well as religious hindu music.(which can sometimes also be very anoying and hilarious: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PYc2IHQuWY&feature=relmfu) I prefer the (north)indian classical ragas with bansuri, sitar and tabla like here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QuDEx3_Ygo and here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ldK1uvrktc&feature=related, also check ravi shankar if you don't know him)
I also like (mostly modern) fussion/ world music like the buddha bar collection cds and the psychedelic electronic music.
For parties i like goa psy trance(best party's :P http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACP_Ohnlb4o), some dubstep and drum n bass.

I have ALOT of favorite artists but there is one musical piece that tops all for me.
I am listening to this since i am 5/6 and know every note and lyrics in there.
Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds which is a semi musical.
you can find the live version of the 2006 tour here: https://thepiratebay.org/torrent/5310231/Jeff_Wayne_War_Of_The_World__Live_On_Stage__DTS_5.1.XviD_2006
I am sharing it as we speak.
It was originally composed in the 70s so all the guys are really old now, but they still rock! and some artists have been replaced (parson and the parsons wife (tara bleiss, whose gorgeous btw) http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/58/TaraBlaise450.jpg/220px-TaraBlaise450.jpg for example)

The story was based on a radio hear play beginning 20th century which caused mass panic on the streets of London as people thought it was a real news broadcast of Martians destroying the city.
Eventually movies where made, books where written etc etc ,which eventually led to this musical and unfortunatly also led to the like wise named movie with Tom Cruise....

I also agree that music is an experience on it's self.
You have music for all purposes, but only some of it is able to be a truly interesting experience to really listen to and perhaps you have to either be a dancer or a musician to really experience it like that.

(PS sorry for the many edits, can't help it when we talk music)
