Here we go again.

And a quick addendum before we get started.

What this thread's purpose is:

To let people gather up and discuss music, music tastes and everything thereof.


What not to do in this thread:

Posting one-liners telling only what song you are listening to.


That said, let's roll. Myself, I'm listening to a bunch of Disturbed tracks. Some weeks ago I stumbled across some fan-made music video where their song The Game was the main theme. Don't know what exactly it was that I found so good about it but not that much later I strolled over to the closest store and bought a CD of theirs. Can't say I regret that choice.

The game is one of my favourite's of their's, I also like Down with the sickness.

I'm listening to Lucky You by Deftones of their self titled album, I always perfered white pony but I ended up with this album anyway. But Lucky You is one of my favourites, Deftones a slow rock type of metal. This particular song has smooth vocals to a steady beat as its core but has 2 other vocals running which run in different tunes and speeds so the overal effect enchants you. But I say good things about everything.

In the time it took to write that I am now listening to suffocate by blindspott, who are a New Zealand band which sounds similiar to Sevendust but has a more quiet deftones tone about it.

I'm listening to a compilation called Reggae Chich with all the cool artists like General Levy, Red Rat, Sean Paul etc. Love that dancehall reggae stuff! Much more interesting than those old sleeping pills like Bob. I don't understand much of the lyrics but it sounds really good

I'm listening to Iron Maiden right now. They rock:)
I don't know why i didn't start listening to them before a couple of weeks ago......

Soon you'll be liking them more than Metallica.

The Turning by Symphony X. It's one of my favorite Symphony X songs, mainly because it's about one of my favorite stories; Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde.



I think it does the story justice....and then some.

I was a power-metal lover a couple of years ago but I've pretty much given that up for now, maybe I listen to some Freedom Call once in a while but it's mostly calmer songs nowadays.

Besides the big stars like Queen and David Bowie that constatly enhance my quality of life , I've just found two rather nice and calm acoustic-bands, Kings of Convenience and José González, the last one being my favourite. Both websites has samples so I suggest you give them a try.

EDIT:


Hmm, I don't get it? Or maybe the rest is left for our imagination.. I'm pretty bad at song-lyrics, no actually I'm REALLY bad at understanding song lyrics but I guess he is some kind of werewolf maybe? Cool if that's the case

I guess you've never read/heard of Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde.

Basically, Dr. Jeckyll, a good scientist, makes a potion that turns him into Mr. Hyde, an evildoer, by night. He ends up killing himslef to get rid of mr. hyde.

make more sense now?

You guessed correctly, but now it makes more sense..

Guess I'll have to look that story up.

I am listening to Frequency by fearfactory on Hatefiles. This was one of those purchases where I knew a few of their songs and bought a CD at random and the CD sounds quite a bit different from the songs I knew. But I can't say I am dissappointed, it is a good mix of heavyish metal, technoish metal and technoish heavyish metal.

I wish I was listening to megadeth, I am addicted to them.

Also check out their 2001 album Digimortal, with such great songs as Invisible Wounds and Back the F*** Up

Oh yeah I'll have to check it out, Invisiable wounds is the entire reason I bought a fear factory CD, I had some other songs which were good but invisiable wounds was the song which convinced me.

Currently I am listening to Viorar Vel Til Loftarasa by Sigur Ros, really awesome light semi experimental music. Its kind of depressing but very bueatiful.

I've been getting into seether lately. They're pretty good, right now I'd say its like a combination between union underground and linkin park.

I watched this earlier.

Some of the songs were performed well, but most weren't. It was boring, but funny in certain parts. The subliminal messages and inclusion of many swear words in song lyrics were hilarious. So was the obsessed fan who came onstage and hugged the bass guitar player.

The only part that I really liked was the end, when Frank Black came onstage to perform The Pixies' Where Is My Mind with Placebo.

Right now I'm listening to this. I don't know why, but I've been listening to that album a lot recently.

I have never figured out why anyone on any forum would want to let everyone know what they were listening to unless it was a music forum site. Could you enlighten me please........(in head voice....maybe it's because we are all friends here and want to get to know each other better....but it sounds too cheesy to say so just keep quiet)

This thread is not only about telling what we currently listen to...it´s also meant to be a thread where we discuss music, various artists and what we like about them, and so on.It may serve as an inspiration to listen to other artists and a different kind of music than we normally do! As you my have noticed (esp. in Danny´s posts ) we tell about the cd or whatyever we listen to, quote the texts, and express our opinion of just that particular song or artist!

I'm listening to ACDC....it's just great, I mean it has been my favourite band, since i started to listen to music ( was about 9 that time )..

The biggest moment in my life, may have been when I was at the ACDC consert at Plaza Del Toro in Madrid, in 1996....it was just awesome, I'll never forget it that moment..I had been saving for almost a year to that.

I also like Metallica and Nightwish very good..to bad that Nightwish broke up..

I was also on the Matallica consert in Oslo 2004....that was also sheer amazing.

ah very nice, I see now ty for my sight, lol . in that case my favorite band is linkin' park and I am too poor for cd's.

and again I disappear

I used to like Metallica alot more, but my interest was hurt with the release of St. Anger. I really thought that CD was quite sub-par, a real let down compared to their other Cds. Also, they shaved the classic handle bar moustaches recently. I lost alot of respect when they lost the handle bar moustaches .

Right now I'm lostening to, who guessed it, Indie Rock. The song is King of no one, the band is The most serene republic.

I'm listening to the Fallout 2 soundtrack a lot lately. I really like it, and that intro song makes me want to go out and buy a Louis Armstrong Best-Of CD. The title track is his "A Kiss to Build a Dream On":

Give me a kiss to build a dream on
And my imagination will thrive upon that kiss
Sweetheart, I ask no more than this
A kiss to build a dream on

That's just the intro of course. The rest of the soundtrack is very different, were appropriate for the individual parts of the world. I think my favorite there is track 3 - Khans of New California (that's The Den, I think), though track 9 - City of the Dead is pretty good too.

BTW - does Fallout rock or what?



Edit:
Fallout 2 Soundtrack

Must, fight, back, aazing amount, of good, memories. Damn that game and its soundtrack were awesome, with songs like that, who can't love Fallout?

I'm listening to a song by Guitar Wolf called Jet Generation, a song before Bass Wolf's tragic death. Damn was that terrible, just going in his sleep like that right after a tour and with so much to do. Really great song on a really amazing album with so much attitude and so much gain and pick up. Mmm, sketchy garage punk.
