    Schoenerleben,

    How could I forget Type O Negative and Slayer! I’ve been listening to “Seasons in the Abyss” a lot lately. I’m a little burned out on Nine Inch Nails right now, but I like the older stuff. Guns ‘N’ Roses is one of those bands that I like in cycles also.

    Raccoon,

    Ah! Dread Zeppellin and Beatallica! It has been a long time since I heard either one of those groups. I enjoy a lot of Irish folk music also. Jane’s Addiction is great but I’m a bit burned out on them at the moment. Bob Dylan: great songwriter, awful singer.

    And Mozart is cold - it’s mathematics, not music. His compositions have no soul…

    What!?! Dissing Mozart!?! think you have no soul if you feel that way. Mozart is great. Rammstein, on the other hand, is overrated; gets boring quickly. (My younger brother loves Rammstein, though. But then he also likes Tupac Shakur and some other gangsta rap. No taste.)

    The only country song I ever liked: “The Gambler” by Kenny Rogers. I love that song.

    A few others I’ve been listening to: Tori Amos (can’t help it, I love her piano work even if she is a total fuckin’ moonbat), I’ve actually been listening to some Ugly Kid Joe lately, Tchaikovsky (anything but the cursed “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy”), a little bit of Stevie Nicks, Simple Minds, and I’ll admit it, I’ve actually been listening to some Ted Nugent lately. Something about “Stranglehold” and “Cat Scratch Fever” I like right now. Also some old Motown music like the Shirelles and Aretha Franklin.

    Oh! And I’ve been listening to the Carmina Burana “O Fortuna” a lot lately. I love the sound of medieval Latin.

  6. Drima on October 13th, 2006 7:01 am

    Rammstein and Massive Attack ain’t bad. You’re right though Tommy Rammstein does get boring pretty fast. Don’t you listen to any of the new stuff like SUM41 or Blink182?? How about funky house, trance or rave? You know stuff like Daft Punk or Fatboy Slim?

    and dude, Tupac rules! :)

  7. The Raccoon on October 13th, 2006 7:40 am

    Tommy - Rammstein is road music, mate. Perfect for when you’re crossing the desert at 3 in the morning at 180 km/h :)

    Personally, I seldom find Russian compositors agreeable. Although Mussorgski has some fine works.

    And about Mozart - his music is just too… precise. Listeing to it is like seeing a crystal formation - beautiful, perfect, but soulless.

    Carmina Burana is a good opera, but “O Fortuna” is certainly the most powerful piece produced by Orf… who was a Nazi, BTW.

    Drima - Fatboy Slim are goooooood… but it’s music one can really appreciate only when stoned. Like Prodigy. Or Flying Circus skits :)

    Some rockin’ ppl here :)

    Racoon, did you check out the requiem from Mozart? It’s his best piece of music(at least for me).

    Oops… I forgot to list Gluecifer… One awesome swedish band, unfortunately they disbanded in 2005. THey were on stage on a Monster Magnet tour throughout Germany in 2003 and rocked so greatly… If you like rock n’ roll the hard way, check it out: http://www.gluecifer.com/video.htm (Free videos and mp3s).

    Drima,

    Don’t you listen to any of the new stuff like SUM41 or Blink182?? How about funky house, trance or rave? You know stuff like Daft Punk or Fatboy Slim?

    I abhor Blink182. I hate their music. I’ve never heard of SUM41. I can tolerate semi-techno bands like Daft Punk, Fatboy Slim, Prodigy, and the Chemical Brothers but it isn’t regular listening music for me. I do like some of Moby’s work, though. I’ve lived most of my life in the Seattle area and I grew up during grunge’s decline. So I listened to a lot of Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Screaming Trees, Gruntruck, the Melvins, and a lot of the post-grunge bands from outside the Pacific Northwest: Meat Puppets, Dinosaur Jr., Stone Temple Pilots, the Offspring. (Though I hate Pearl Jam.) I also listened to a lot of harder stuff like Pantera, older Metallica (they haven’t produced anything worth listening to since the Black album, IMO, and even the Black album wasn’t as good as And Justice for All), Ministry, Type O Negative, Sepultura, Slayer, Helmet. Later, my musical interests broadened. I used to hate Natalie Merchant, for example, but now I enjoy her work.

    Oh, and I can think of one rap song I kind of like: Tupac Shakur’s “Changes.” I forget the 80’s song he ripped the piano from on that song, but by looping that little riff, he uses it much more effectively than the original artist did. Especially with the small choir of women in the background. I could care less about the actual lyrics, but the whole feel of the song is somewhat celestial.

    Raccoon,

    Carmina Burana is a good opera, but “O Fortuna” is certainly the most powerful piece produced by Orf… who was a Nazi, BTW.

    Yeah, I know. Casts a shadow over an otherwise good piece.

    Rammstein is road music, mate.

    Exactly what my brother says!

    My brother is kind of funny. He likes some of the same stuff I do, but he likes two genres of music I can hardly stand: rap and country! Though he likes a lot of the more modern, poppier country, not the older stuff, but nothing as extremely pop or tacky as Billy Ray Cyrus or Garth Brooths, either.

    schoenerleben,

    Thanks for the link. :-)

  12. Drima on October 13th, 2006 4:17 pm

    SUM41 is Canadian… I listen to all genres of music and I like producing lots of different things… My sound is influenced by alot of chillout and funk music. Chillout like Cafe del Mar and funk like Jameriquae…

    By December this blog will start witnessing radical changes hopefully. I’m going to be free during December. I’ll start podcasting and sharing my music with you guys…
