I always like finding out what music people listen to. So here are three simple questions about you and the music you like. I'll go first.
1) What genres of music do you typically prefer?
"classic rock" (60's and '70s), country, rockabilly, 90's alternative rock (mostly grunge), and whatever I pick up off the radio.
2) What have you been listening to this week?
This week I've been listening to a lot of Rolling Stones (especially off the Sticky Finders Album) and the Drive-By Truckers (especially off the Brighter than Creation's Dark album). In fact, I am going to go see DBT this weekend with my better half.
3) What are you listening to right now?
"Karma Police" by Radiohead (one of those days). Wait, no, it ended right after I typed that. Now its REM's "Losing My Religion".
Now its your turn!!
Ambition is a dream with a V8 engine - Elvis Presley
1) Many forms of "classical" music, new wave, experimental rock, 60's pop / rock, some older country, some jazz
2) A LOTof Velvet Underground, Devo "Are We not Men", , Charles Mingus "Pithecanthropus Erectus", The residents "roadworms", The Yardbirds "roger the engineer", Schoenberg "Five Pieces for Orchestra", Grisey "Partiels", Dvorak "Seranade for Strings"
3) Stravinsky's "Violin Concerto"
I'm enjoying Jay-Z's West African Road Warrior Anarchy Chic video Run This Town.
The fallacies of intellectual communism, a compilation - On the nature of power
1. I listen to classic rock, house and hip hop.
2. I've been listening to a lot of Moby this week, actually.
3. Three 6 Mafia feat. DJ Tiesto Feel It
1) 80's punk; more specifically 80's UK punk, or UK82 (and 80's anarcho-punk). Some 80's Scandinavian and Japanese hardcore/punk, and a few (80's) US bands. 80's and some modern post-punk, 80's goth, and a little bit of "metal" (Motorhead) and some black metal. New wave (Tears for Fears; Men At Work; Devo; etc) and classic rock (Rush). Instrumental bands like Explosions In The Sky (and if anyone knows anything similar please make recommendations). Once in a while some classical music. I really like Ennio Morricone (did music for The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, etc etc).
2) Crass, The Apostles, Battalion of Saints, The Expelled, The Spits, Rudimentary Peni, Venom, and The System.
3) Battalion of Saints - Modern Day Heroes
Bert:Instrumental bands like Explosions In The Sky

"I'm enjoying Jay-Z's West African Road Warrior Anarchy Chic video Run This Town."
hahah yes. For some reason I love that tune.
1) Prog Rock, Fusion, Psychedelic, Classic Rock, Funk, Weird Stuff
2) Magma, Moving Gelatine Plates, Dun, Eskaton, Area, Captain Beyond, Black Widow, High Tide, Black Sabbath, Betty Davis, Amon Duul II
3) Eskaton, by Eskaton, off of 1979's Four Visions.
Dondoolee:The residents "roadworms"
Yeah man, the Residents kick ass! I really like the "Duckstab/Buster and Glen" through "God in Three Persons" period. Try them on some "music appreciation enhancers" You might also like Renaldo and the Loaf, or any of the Krautrock groups (Kraftwerk, Popul Vuh, Faust).
Student: 1) What genres of music do you typically prefer? "classic rock" (60's and '70s), country, rockabilly, 90's alternative rock (mostly grunge), and whatever I pick up off the radio.
Those are my favorites, too. Good taste, Sir.
@ Jackson
The Residents are on tour now. They play in Chicago tonight, I think they should be playing wherever you are some time soon. Oh I dig on the Krauts, Faust IV is a top 10 album of mine.
The best though is when on the few times I get dragged to the gym by some one, I put on some skin tight black pants, put on a black sleevless shirt, put on my sunglasses, hair spray the fuck out of my hair, and bust out Kraftwerks "Pocket Calculator" as loud as I can and put it on an endless loop. It seems to create a ten foot perimeter around me, and who ever made me go to the fucking gym with them usually will not ask me to go with them a second time.
LOL! Ze germans are coming! Crap, I missed the residents...
Metal.
Freedom of markets is positively correlated with the degree of evolution in any society...
I've been listening to late 90's indie-rock and some older folksy stuff lately. Sixto Rodriguez's album Cold Fact is a masterpiece.
Forgot to mention Death In June.
1) Almost anything save for country, and most 'pop'. Not typically a fan of rap either, but I do enjoy selective hip-hop. Primarily I enjoy rock, classic rock, alternative, punk, drum n bass, jungle, metal, classical and jazz.
2) This week I've been listening to a lot of Rancid and Rage Against the Machine--though this is typical of every week.
3) I randomly listen to Rothbard's For a New Liberty audio book (among others), which is what I'm listening to now.
I listen to everything although I go through cycles. I've been listening to alot of metal lately, ranging from metalcore to technical death. I also listen to electronica, mostly stuff like Aphex Twin, Mum, Booka Shade etc. I have over 150 gigs of music on my computer, all meticulously arranged by sub-genre and then artist. Math rock, Prog rock, Punk, Funk, Ska, Metal, Trance, Indie Rock, Classical, Jazz, Fusion, its all there :)

Loosely defined post-punk forms, a lot of contemporary or modern classical music ranging from minimalism to serialism, a good amount of classical music encompassing a broad spectrum of late 18th century to 20th century forms, a lot of continental progressive rock (though nothing so much recent as the last twenty years) ranging from Kraut Rock to Zeuhl to Rock in Opposition and stuff that grew out of psychedelic rock like a lot of the bands in the Canterbury scene, psychedelic rock, a lot of vintage electronic... real synthy stuff, an almost crippling bias tilted towards a broad range of ambient and drone musics, a great smattering of ethnographic and folk musics, a lot of glam (I can listen to stuff like Bowie, Cockney Rebel, and Sparks all day if permitted), jazz, library music, indie rock, older sekou and highlife recordings, good dancier rock (most of it's lame) and by that I mean stuff like Cut Copy or !!! or Cold Cave, reggae and dub (for some reason, Jamaica generally stopped releasing good music after about 1983... I guess because Africa wasn't free or something), Tropicalia, I'm real big on shoegaze, I grew up mostly on punk and metal... I dunno. All kinds of shit.
I fell asleep to Gabriel Fauré's "Requiem" last night. I've been listening to a lot of comedy records to keep inspired while writing... Peter Cook and Dudley Moore and The Mighty Boosh radio series mostly. I've got a 160gb iPod and I'm of a mind that the thing was delivered by God. A lot of Ingram Marshall (minimalist) and Expo '70 (guitar drones) this week. My brother-in-law wanted me to put music on his Xbox and we listened to a lot of it thereafter, a lot of Bowie, Lou Reed, Sparks, and the Kinks.
"Empire State Human" by the Human League. Sue me.
I don't usually respond to forum posts that much, but I do read them. I dig seeing Austrians digging arts and music, in particular. That's where the battle for ideas begin for a lot of people... strangely or not so strangely enough.
It's nice to see some reference to Faust and Amon Düül II on here.
Also listened to this week was the Can bootleg "Horror Trip in the Paperhouse", which I break out with regularity. It features a 27 minute jam of "Spoon" that defies belief. I listened to it something like five times in succession. I also spent time with Cluster this week.
Jazz, Fusion, Progressive Rock, Instrumental Rock (Guitar-based), Classic Rock, Blues, Classical, Latin & Assorted "World" Influences.
Jeff Beck, Guthrie Govan, Al DiMeola.
Nothing.
Ho hum, what else do I like? Some trance, some pop, some classical music. Here's one I love that isn't metal (omgwut):
Yes, it is in French. Why? Coz french is ossum. Learn it.
I prefer the heavier rock genres, such as heavy metal. Hardcore is great too, as is classic rock. I do have some softer rock stuff such as The Strokes, Muse, Blindside, and King Crimson.
I recently got into The Devin Townsend Project (I saw zefreak posted a video by Strapping Young Lad, which is one of Devin Townsend's past bands) through a friend. Basically, I've been consumed by that.
Right now I'm not listening to anything, but I am downloading Ki by The Devin Townsend Project.

'Well I know they've always told ya Selfishness was wrong. Yet it was for me, not you, that I came To write this song!'
I brought up Anthem by Rush on Best Libertarian Lyrics.
1) Chemical Breaks, Trance, Acid, Some Hard Rock, Hardcore (Happy), Metal (CoF and such), For listening but don't care enough to know anyone's name ( Funk, Jazz, Classical).
2) Classical of sorts, mostly the sound track to Empire: Total War. The Crystal Method.
3) N/A. I suggest Orbital to anyone who like electronic music.
Barbershop!
After 27 yrs I still can't believe she said YES!

Craig: I can't believe that no-one has mentioned 'Anthem' by Rush??
Be careful, RUSH stands for, R.uled U.nder S.atan's H.and
Either way, they still kick ass. Try some Yes, and Emerson, Lake, and Palmer. Oh yeah, and the guy from Budgie looks and sounds just like Geddy.
Robert Brager: a lot of continental progressive rock (though nothing so much recent as the last twenty years) ranging from Kraut Rock to Zeuhl to Rock in Opposition and stuff that grew out of psychedelic rock like a lot of the bands in the Canterbury scene, psychedelic rock, a lot of vintage electronic... real synthy stuff
Oh yeah, now we're talking! The French are where it's at in regards to the continental prog. Try Mona Lisa and Arachnoid, if you haven't already. As far as the Germans go, Rockpommel's land by Grobschnitt is pretty good, as is Brainticket, and Toad (although they are technically Swiss). And the Italians, beside PFM and BMS, I would look into Balletto Di Bronzo, Allusa Fallax, or Osanna.
+1 for Zeuhl, and RIO, Magma is definitely one of my favorite bands. I would look into Moving Gelatine plates, Area, Bubu, for some psychotic jazz rock.
+1 for Canterbury, not a group in the bunch that doesn't kick ass.
For the proto-ambient, I would try Isao Tomita, and be sure not to miss Jean-Michel Jarre.
Blueline976:I do have some softer rock stuff such as The Strokes, Muse, Blindside, and King Crimson.
King Crimson, Soft??? Listen to 21st Century Schizoid Man, or Lark's tongues in Aspic Parts 1 and 2, and tell me it's soft!
Jackson LaRose: Blueline976:I do have some softer rock stuff such as The Strokes, Muse, Blindside, and King Crimson. King Crimson, Soft??? Listen to 21st Century Schizoid Man, or Lark's tongues in Aspic Parts 1 and 2, and tell me it's soft!
I like every song on In The Court of The Crimson King EXCEPT 21st Century Schizoid Man. Seems to throw the album off, doesn't fit in with the other tracks.
Some anti-establishment stuff:
Softer than what I usually listen to. Eventually you go from thinking Elephant Talk is really heavy, then you listen to something like this:
...and you start thinking stuff like Elephant Talk is pretty soft. In comparison, of course.
Bert:I like every song on In The Court of The Crimson King EXCEPT 21st Century Schizoid Man. Seems to throw the album off, doesn't fit in with the other tracks.
I feel the exact same way; I can't stand it. The four other tracks still make it one of my favorite albums, though.
