Music/Makes the people/Come together

[Veatrix]

So type of music do you guys like to listen to? Is there a particular genre of music you like? Who are you favourite artists and bands? Any favourite song, if any, because it's quite difficult to choose. How much music do you have on your computer, and has the computer slowed down yet, because of music file overload? Share share!

I mostly like mainstream music (Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears and such). I know that's not always the best type of music, but it's easy to access, fun to listen to, and quite mindless. Along with that, I love J-Pop (Ayumi Hamasaki and Utada Hikaru being my two personal faves). My J-Pop collection is always mainstream though.

But then, I tend to listen to almost anything anyway. I enjoy Feist, Andrea Bocelli, Sara Bareilles, Kanye West and a lot more.

I have 22GB of music and only a 4GB iPod... I need a new one!

I'll listen to just about anything that isn't mainstream "rap" or country, but my cd collection tends to lean more towards indie and rock. My car radio is always set to the local jazz/blues station.

[Reiko]

I prefer Indie and Alt Rock but also like Trance and Punk.

Favorite Bands are Modest Mouse, Arcade Fire, The New Pornographers, Neko Case (She also sings with the New Pornographers in some songs), Pearljam, The Clash, The Artic Monkeys.

[Mathias]

Wow. Another Modest Mouse-ite. <3 so much.

I'm definitely indie, and I'm trying to expand my horizons on the jazz front. Although, I'm extremely ecclectic in my tastes (Like, Coldplay and Sevendust, or The Misfits and St. Germain), most often, what I listen to is indie and alternative.

My all-time favorite are Modest Mouse, Abandoned Pools, Glacier Hiking, Stereolab, The Format, and The Sea and Cake.

[Veatrix]

There are a few indie bands that I like:

Meg & Dia
Death Cab For Cutie

I had Arcade Fire's Neon Bible on file one time, but I never really liked it. I thought it was too... long-winded.

[Reiko]

yeah, Arcade Fire can get overbearing. Funeral wasn't as good as Neon Bible, too many Histrionic songs on it. Too bad there wasn't a song like Haiti on it where the female vocalist got a chance to shine. still they're good if a little overrated.

I'll have to add the Shins to the list, their latest CD is really great and they proved to me that they can touch themes other than the breakup song. They were good but never change your life good^^

[Vampiric Angel]

I listen to alot of stuff. Heavy Metal, Screamo, Indie, Alternative, Jazz, Blues, Hardcore, Progressive, etc. I could probably keep the list going.

Again, the list could go on. But as you can tell, I grew up with Metal and Rock so there's a bit more of that on there than others.

[Veatrix]

Is it surprising to say that I grew up with pop music?

Madonna
Debbie Gibson

Bee Gees

Totally pop, which points to why I am so very much in love with pope.
