I usually listen to Heavy Rock music; mainly Capcom Rockman X music to be more precise. I listen to SKU music as well but Techno and Trance (The REAL Trance by Robert Miles [I'm a Trance Music Afficianado]). Other genres that I'm getting into is House, Dark House and other bunch of genres I can't think off the top of my head.

I mainly listen to music from video games, tv/anime and movies because I am very strange.

Within Temptation

Ohh oh oh! Within Temptation makes my headphones happy, would you say any of those other bands (or any others besides) would be good to check out if you like WT?

I'm a total bitch for that stuff.

As for me...well...my mp3 drive is a complete mess of genres, so I'll put the whole thing on random and go through the first few artists. This will be very embarrassing.

Hay this is kinda fun, I forgot I had all this stuff.

Good music tastes here! I for one will listen to just about anything except rap or country. My major weaknesses are for Evanescence, Nightwish, Tori Amos, Goo Goo Dolls, old school No Doubt (WHY MUST YOU BETRAY ME STEFANI??), Boa (the Lain theme song people, not the Japanese group), Vanessa Carlton, the Beatles, Alanis Morisette and Sarah Brightman.

Also I have a HUGE weakness for most post-60s Broadway musicals (not a big fan of the old R & H school) that have orginial scores, thank you very much *glares at Mamma Mia for starting a horrible trend*. I especially love the works of Stephen Sondheim. Especially Sweeney Todd. The end!

I only listen to rap and country. Check it.

Tom Waits
Reverend Glasseye and his Wooden Legs
Tujiko Noriko
Jason Webley
Bjork
Chuck Berry (O
Three-Six Mafia
Tin Hat Trio
Mum
Screamin' Jay Hawkins
Haco/ After Dinner
Neko Case

Hrm, outside of artists, I of course love the Utena OSTs, quite fond of a few Broadway soundtracks (specifically Avenue Q and Wicked, so far), and a lot of OSTs from recent films - especially Sideways and Lady in the Water.

Oh, and the Carmina Burana, the Planets Suite, and Beethoven's Fifth. Mm.

For me it's mostly.. Tori Amos, Emilie Autumn (She's not that heard of, but she's wonderful. ), Within Temptation, Nickelback, Three Doors Down, Bjork, Tool/A Perfect Circle, Daft Punk, Darren Hayes/Savage Garden, Dido, Evanescence (guilty, I know), Goo Goo Dolls, Jewel, Marilyn Manson, Michelle Branch, Muse, Natalie Imbruglia, Nightwish, Placebo, Poe, Sarah McLachlan, Vienna Teng, some other stuff and, uhm.. more Tori.

I crave more music. D:<

You? Have excellent taste in music. Not that it happens to resemble mine or anything. Also Emilie Autumn FTW!

I also love Fiona Apple, Tom McRae, The Ditty Bops, Panic! At the Disco, Tegan & Sara, Aimee Mann, The Maedival Baebes, Ani diFranco,  Sufjan Stevens, Snow Patrol, and Joseph Arthur.

Here's what makes my iPod happy:

Nine Inch Nails (of course)
Wilco
The Fiery Furnaces
Broken Social Scene
TV On The Radio
Beck
Daft Punk
Wolf Parade
The Tragically Hip
The Go! Team
Tapes 'n Tapes
Bauhaus
Soul Coughing/Mike Doughty
Modest Mouse
Interpol (I really need to get my hands on Antics because I've played the crap out of Turn On the Bright Lights)
Queens of the Stone Age
M.I.A.
Saul Williams
Elvis Costello's early stuff (pre-Punch the Clock; I don't care for Merseybeat)
Depeche Mode
Duel choruses
Synthpop (examples: Apoptygma Berzerk, Wolfsheim, Mesh)

My iTunes has a multiple personality disorder like whoah, so don't expect this list to be anything other than confused.

As a general rule, I don't listen to Country, and Rap is very rare.

Go, go, Shuffle.

Sarah Slean ()
Katie Melua
Vienna Teng
TATU
Olivia Lufkin
Jennifer Warnes
The Killers
Phantom of the Opera (Original London Cast)
Phantom of the Opera (2004 Movie Cast)
Cats (Uh, dunno what cast)
Evita (?!)
West Side Story ( Some Cast. Dunno. Both movie and stage.)
Madame Butterfly (Opera! The only one I like!)
Eva Cassidy
Morning Musume
Mika Nakashima
Despairsray
abingdon boy's school
Loveless OST
Maria-sama ga Miteru OST
Chronicles of Narnia OST
Kingdom of Heaven OST (Never saw the movie, but it's by Harry Gregson-Williams, who also did Narnia)
Tori Amos
Vanity Fair OST
Hayley Westenra
Evanescence
Within Temptation
E. Nomine

Every Disney MusicalMovie thing that ever involved Alan Menken. Ever. Six million pieces of gothic choral stuff, Final Fantasy music everywhere, and, uh, the kitchen sink.

Lately, I've been really into Hello!Project (Morning Musume, W, MiniMoni, Nakazawa Yuko, Goto Maki, Def.Diva, etc etc etc!) which is sort of silly but somehow really ridiculously addictive. It snuck up on me and stole my soul. :/

Besides that, my music tastes are pretty widespread--The Velvet Underground, Patti Smith, & Cocco are pretty much my top three, but I also really like Tom Waits, Iggy Pop, Namie Amuro, Brigitte Bardot, Joanna Newsom, Kana, Frog Eyes, Laurie Anderson, Belle & Sebastian, Ace of Base, Duke Ellington, Koda Kumi, Nick Cave, GO!GO!7188, 45 Grave, Bjork, The Knife, Malice Mizer, Sleater-Kinney, Bikini Kill, Benny Goodman, Chantal Goya, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Christina Aguilera (esp her new stuff ), Miles Davis, & X. But the list could go on much, much longer, of course.

Oh and also I think Justin Timberlake's new album is really fantastic. Everyone should check it out. No joke. It's like a male version of Peaches (minus all the hot visuals and crotch-talk) or something.


As a side note: I think it's pretty cool to see so many Emilie Autumn fans here. I use to be really into her Celtic-pop music, back when she did the whole fairy princess thing...I think she's gotten a bit silly, these days, but her voice remains absolutely sublime.

To be honest, there isn't much music that I like, other than music from anime and videogames. In English, I tend to be rather critical of the lyrics, but if it's in Japanese I can barely tell that I'm singing a song about the apocalypse, unless I focus on what I'm saying. I have more songs memorized in Japanese than in English.

Evita (?!)

Adding to my strange taste, I love the movie Evita, and I was quite obsessed with it in 2005. It's a two and a half hour long movie, yet I have the whole thing memorized. The music is very catchy.
