What music rocks your world ?

[619DioFan]

Thought I would change the pace and see what type of music you dig. if you read my screen name then you can probably guess who my fave is ( DIO ) Ronnie james Dio- may he rest in peace. absolutley brillant performer and a great human being. had the privilage of meeting him and it is a memory I will allways cherish. beyound that I jam to any old school metal( can’t stand new stuff though- i’m 50 and sometimes an old dog don’t want to learn new tricks. also dig classic rock such as journey,heart,styx,etc. also still like the “hair metal ” being a socal guy the L.A. scene in the 80’s was crazy cool. so tht’s what I dig, how ’bout you all ?
P.S. sorry for any typos , I am a two fingered typer ( even though I have all 10 ) when it comes to this key board most times I feel like fred flintstone beating on a rock

I love Techno. Right now the new dubstep stuff is really high quality stuff. Musically it’s something very new and enjoyable. If you want an example of high quality and creative dubstep check out UKF Bass Culture album. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bC58-DYyKRs <---- amazing music

I knew i should have started a similar thread when i thought of it, but hey: the important thing is that it gets started at all. 🙂

Anyway, music has since i turned 13 meant a great deal to me. I’m from Sweden and in my youth the only places i could hear new music was from friends – and i lived in the countryside so that wasn’t much of an option if you didn’t want to ride a bike long ways – from scouring record stores – and as i only was 13, so that wasn’t an option either – or finally: the radio!
Radio in Sweden in the early 80s wasn’t that bad actually, but since we only had one channel to fit all music, there were only like half hour shows once a week so my trusty tapedeck got a lot of use. 😉

Anyway, i have always felt grounded in this experience and think that is why i appreciate so much different music: i like everything from singer/songwriters like Josh Rouse, Amos Lee to real fast old hardcore like Minor Threat to pop to punk to…you get the picture.
One band though that’s always been with me and probably always will is The Ramones, as my nick probably hints of.

They were one of the greatest, not only for the pioneering music they wrote, but also for all the influences you can trace from it.
Joey – who always have a special place in my heart – was the romantic, that loved all that 60s pop and wrote quite a few songs that would have done well if released in 1965…and possibly been produced differently. 😉

Listen to this, one of my favourites that never even got an official release cause Johnny, the dictator in the band, hated it since it was just a simple popsong…and thats why i love it: Ramones – S.L.U.G.

Or maybe one of there greatest lovesongs? Danny says: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Aerah72IEI

I love bands that when you dig just a little deeper and cast away all your beliefs find…pretty melodies.
Misfits was one of those bands and thats why the went that big: deep down there was brilliant melodies but of course, they had one of the best voices at the time: Glenn Danzig. 🙂

But then on the other hand, i always liked music that was a little…off.
Fad Gadget – Love Parasite: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yEYV3ohJu4
The Normal – Warm Leatherette: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5QErPDNcj4
Spit For Athena – Afraid of me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8caEGBETcec
Tom Waits – Underground: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciBAMhLiwyQ

Hrm…well i think i should quit while i’m ahead, so to speak. I could go on a couple of days with this otherwise. 😉

I have been listening to a lot of symphonic power metal lately. Original Nightwish, Epica, Delain, Tarja (original singer for Nightwish), Within Temptation, After Forever, We are the Fallen, etc. If you like Pat Benatar and Heart then you probably will like some of those bands because the lead singers are all women.

I’m a huge fan of music in general. I love most genre’s except Rap.

Growing up in the 80’s in England and having older brothers and a sister, i was forced to listen to bands like The Smiths, Pet Shop Boys, Aha, Duran Duran which today i love.

I don’t have a favorite genre as i listen to anything from classical to rock, to Celtic to dance/trance.

Here is a few links to some of my favorite songs –

The Smiths – How Soon Is Now? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHvbbJ0Sspc

Pet Shop Boys – Left To My Own Devices – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xpZO85LoZY

Ted Nugent – Stranglehold – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0c3d7QgZr7g

Loreena McKennitt – Mummers Dance (celtic Music) – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0B7sH5QLyXY

That’s it for now. I wont bore you with the classical music i like or trance C8-)

’60’s, ’70’s and ’80’s. love the stuff. still listen to cassettes, just like them better.

[mckrishes]

I like Gospel music.

[Shaun_300]

I mainly listen to country music, also like newer rock music.

[pcmdjason]

Hendrix, Cream, The Who, SRV, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Metallica, Nirvana

Outside of Soundgarden and Metallica for some reason a lot of my favorite bands had a major member die.

Sort of makes me wish I listened to more Rolling Stones so I could add it to the list.

I seem to like mostly stuff from the 90’s back. It seems like once I got out of highschool music started sucking.

Dubstep is pretty good, but I’d take Hardstyle over Dubstep any day. The Pitcher FTW!!!

I have 2 new dance/techno songs that are constantly playing in my house now –
