Old country (Hank Williams, etc.), classic rock (CCR, etc.), hard rock (Van Halen, etc.), metal (Pantera, Slayer, Metallica, etc.), death metal (Deicide, Cannibal Corpse, Nile, etc.), black metal (Emperor, Mayhem, Darkthrone, etc.,) hardcore (Hatebreed, Terror, Throwdown, etc.), metalcore (Chimaira, Killswitch Engage, etc.) glam metal (Motley Crue, Faster Pussycat, Cinderella, etc.). That pretty much covers it right there.

I listen to everything, for the most part. Except if I have to sit through and/or play Vivaldi's Season Suite one more time, I cannot be held responsible for what I do.

i listen to anything that dares to be different within the realms of reasonability.

Usually experimental metal (Bungle, Fantomas, Dillinger Escape Plan, Pig Destroyer, The Locust).

Or some more simple rock/metal that has great character (Static-x, glassjaw, slayer, Tomahawk, Sleepy Time Gorilla Museum, Faith no More)

Or some quiter stuff that is also experimental and quite unique (Secret Chiefs 03, Patton/Kaada, Estradosphere).

Video-game music can be kinda cool too.

I am open for anything, except for gangsta rap and generic rock, garage rock etc.

First of all, nobody knows about every single music style on this planet. You people know nothing about Finnish popular music (Arja Koriseva? CMX? Pikku G?). I know nothing about the music styles in Senegal. So, it would be a huge mistake to say I'm listenig everything. In fact I hate most of the crap they play everywhere. Now I TRY to list the music I'm into.

MDM/EDM/IDM/UGDM (Modern/Electronic/Intelligent/UnderGround Dance Music)

There's like millions of styles and their subgenres. The styles flourished best 1988-1992 in England, but even nowadays there's excelent stuff coming out as well as complete commercial crap. The most important artists include:

S'EXPRESS

THE BEATMASTERS

AUTECHRE

APHEX TWIN

THE PRODIGY

JONNY L

LEMON JELLY

ORBITAL

GOTAN PROJECT

CLASSICAL

This is music that has survived the time. It's from time when music was written mostly for itself. They didn't have MTV to f*ck things up. Again a lot of styles to choose from. My favourite composers include:

Sir Edward Elgar (1857-1934)

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)

George Frideric Handel (1685-1759)

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791)

Dietrich Buxtehude (1637-1707)

Nicolaus Bruhns (1665-1697)

Marc-Antoine Charpentier (1643-1704)

Jean-Philippe Rameau (1683-1764)

Franz Joseph Haydn (1732 - 1809)

Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827)

Gabriel Fauré (1845-1924)

Camille Saint-Saëns (1835-1921)

Carl Nielsen (1865-1931)

Richard Wagner (1813-1883)

Heitor Villa-Lobos (1887-1959)

Sergey Taneyev (1856-1915)

Heinrich Schütz (1585-1672)

Johann Rosenmüller (1619-1684)

Arcangelo Corelli (1653-1713)

Marin Marais (1656-1728)

François Couperin (1668 - 1733)

Jean-Baptiste Lully (1632-1687)

Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643)

Louis-Nicolas Clérambault (1676-1749)

Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (1525-1594)

Leopold Sylvius Weiss (1686-1750)

Henry Purcell (1659-1695)

Maurice Ravel (1875-1937)

Monsieur de Sainte-Colombe (d. 1691-1701)

Johann Adolf Hasse (1699-1783)

Giovanni Battista Pergolesi (1710-1736)

Enrique Granados (1867-1916)

Johann Baptist Vanhal (1739-1813)

POP/ROCK/etc.

This is an area I have began to listen more recently. It's not all commercial crap, some artists make increadible good music which is easy to listen and makes you feel good. Favourites:

LOWGOLD

KASHMIR

PAT METHENY

STANDFAST

BRISKEBY

SIGUR ROS

RADIOHEAD

KROYT

LOGH

BEL CANTO

NEW AGE/WORLD MUSIC

What a wonderful music it is! It's anything but commercial. It's so relaxing, calming and even healing. It's music everyone likes but few knows it. You all like new age, you just don't know it because MTV never played it for you. Some examples of artists:

ANDREAS VOLLENWEIDER

HAROLD BUDD

WAYNE GRATZ

SHEILA CHANDRA

HERMETO PASCOAL

STEVE ROACH

PATRICK O'HEARN

DAVID HELPLING

STEVEN HALPERN

POST WAR/AVANTGARD/MINIMALISM/MOVIE MUSIC

This music will become "classical" with time. Very interesting stuff.

PHILIP GLASS

STEVE REICH

JOHN ADAMS

TERRY RILEY

JOHN WILLIAMS

ARVO PÄRT

HANS ZIMMER

JAZZ

Not into jazz much, but I like some of it.

KEITH JARRETT

BRAD MEHLDAU

CLIFFORD BROWN+MAX ROACH

nobody claimed to know about "every single musical-style on the planet", dont take 'i listen to everything' so literally, you're trying to sound superior.

i think lyrics are meaningless in music.

If you need lyrics to enjoy music, you dont actually like the music, you're just relating the words to an emotion you're feeling or a situation you're going through, might as well read some poetry.

I think it's the music itself that you identify more closely with and its the music that sets a theme and a mood.

Having said that, voice can be just important as music, afterall, bjorks new album is 90% vocal and i love it, it's probably stronger.

I guess this is all loosely related to why i hate pop punk, hip hop and commercial rock, all they do is sell emotions and people think WOW, I really relate to what they're about, and it's all bullshit.... well thats just what i think.

I agree mostly, but I think lyrics aren't completely meaningless. The fact is most people don't understand much about music when it comes to rhythm, chords, contrapunct etc. People understand semantic messages much better, hence they try to sell us music dominated by lyrics.

Medulla is perhaps Björk's best album so far...

P.S. I was not trying to sound superior, I am superior! :evil: Sorry about that.
