What groups are you listening to the most recently

[dream431ca]

Nightwish
Dragonforce
Sonata Arctica

I like Power metal bands especially Power metal and Melodic bands. Sonata Arctica is perfect for that. Just discovered them about 2 weeks ago, and I can't believe I missed something like that. I ordered all their albums.

[TheAntipop]

Hot Water Music
Squarepusher
Isis
Red Sparowes
Hot Chip
Mistress

:D

[ComradeBadger]

The Blood Arm
The Maccabees
The Horrors
Archie Bronson Outfit
Davy Graham
Jeff Buckley
The Sunshine Underground

I like, by and large, indierock/indie/artrock/garagerock/new wave/nu-rave(HATE that term but hey) groups, and ALWAYS looking for new stuff...


I loathe metal in almost all it's forms :p along with a lot of ambient electronic stuff.

Quite the opposite to most members here - but hey, each to their own...

[Que-Ever]

The aggrolites
the slackers
the clash
the jam
a couple of better than ezra singles I found
no doubt
too short notice <3
operation ivy/ rancid
dance hall crashers
green day right now, to see if I still like them
red hot chilli peppers (not so much)
mostly compilation albums, though.

I'm mostly into ska and/or punk, but I really like some rock and occasionally some metal... I really hate pop and club music, though. Techno... *quiver*

[lePobz]

The Killers
Snow Patrol
The Kooks
Coldplay
My Chemical Romance
Maroon5

I've been in an indie/rocky-esque mood recently.

[ComradeBadger]

None of those bands are indie mate. They're pop.

Not saying they're bad though. Although MCR are GASH, as are Maroon 5... Coldplay have gone downhillll

[Slacker]

The Killers
Snow Patrol
The Kooks
Coldplay
My Chemical Romance
Maroon5

I've been in an indie/rocky-esque mood recently.


Hahahahahahahahahaha.

Anyway, there hasn't really been one band I've been listening to mainly lately. I guess Patti Smith and Rufus Wainwright get the most plays on my Itunes though.

[Vegeta897]

Aphex Twin
Venetian Snares
Quinoline Yellow
Autechre
Squarepusher
Neil Voss

[Absinthe]

Same shit I've been listening to for the last few years. I have, however, developed a (most probably unhealthy) addiction to Autechre. Probably because I've bought a few more releases from them recently. It astonishes me how they can sound so different with every album/EP and still carry their distinct stamp of craftmanship.

[TheAntipop]

I bought Amber recently. Not listened to it yet, but it's on the pile of CD's next to my computer.

I've also been listening to alot of Send More Paramedics, who I think you might like, VictimofScience, as theres some real good 80's crossover going on in that shit. I've finally got around to buying their CD's so I can now see them live again (twice now) and actually know the songs properly.

There you go.

[Qonfused]

http://gerpok.com/uid/12149

I also have a Last.fm, but I've been using Gerpok a lot longer. I can't believe I have almost 2,500 plays of NIN.

[CrazyHarij]

opeth
led zeppelin
autechre
the specials
carbon based lifeforms
royksopp
the knife
chris moss acid

[Absinthe]

I bought Amber recently. Not listened to it yet, but it's on the pile of CD's next to my computer.

That's often considered to be their ambient album. There are quite a few parts of it that really aren't, but on the whole it's a far softer and warmer album than any of their other releases. Not as tinny and cold as Incunabula, nowhere near as industrial/mechanical as Tri Repetae. It basically serves to fill any doubt that exists regarding their ability for melody and emotion (namely "Slip").

Agreed.

A freind of mine has pretty much everything by them, so I'm going to pop over to his in a minute to pick up The Fall of Math.

[gick]

I forgot to say - Alexisonfire. I used to really hate them, but now everytime I hear 'Accidents' it makes me cream my pants.

[Stigmata]

[theotherguy]

Bush
Pearl Jam
Nirvana
Stone Temple Pilots
Toadies
Beck

those are the bands I am listening to in my car.

EDIT: crap, I started listening to creed for the first time since like..1996.

The band is actually good, they have a good sound, but damnit I hate their message and their singer. Why did they have to be a stupid religious band? They could have been great as a secular post-grunge band.

EDIT: woah, rediscovered Puddle of Mud. I've always loved this band but never knew it! thank you pandora.com.

fixed =O)

[Geogaddi]

I had to delete all of my music off of my computer (I still have it on my MP3 player, but I don't use it when at the computer, so.....)

The only album that I have on my computer at the moment is
Ganging Up On The Sun by Guster because I accidentally missed it while on a deleting spree to make space for WoW.

I acquired this album mostly because of the song One Man Wrecking Machine, and at first I found the rest of the album OK, nothing spectacular. Not the kind of music I normally listen to (Industrial, IDM, Downtempo electronica etc...).

Well, I've been listening to it a lot seeing as it's all I have to listen to, (I keep leaving my CD case in the car) and it's grown on me. Big time. I really like the song Dear Valentine as homoerotic as that sounds. At least it's not country *cough* dekstar *cough*

See what you think of Lis Er Stille... Danish post-rock-ish band. You can listen to all their music here: http://liserstille.mymusic.dk/diskografi/album.asp?id=545

Only reason I mention them is, parts of it seem a little similar to Muse... things like the piano part on Forsyn, around the 6-minute mark. Maybe something like what Muse might sound like if they turned post-rock? Anyways, their music is pretty cool.

[edit] Actually on second thought.. maybe not. Apart from Muse they're not much similar to anyone else on your list :P.

[Garfield_]

Avenged Sevenfold
The Used
Funeral For A Friend
Dead Poetic
Underoath
She Wants Revenge

[CrazyHarij]

Just discovered Hot Chip, and they're ****ing genius!

[ComradeBadger]

Just discovered Hot Chip, and they're ****ing genius!

They really are :)

What album are you listening to?

[TheAntipop]

I almost picked up the other album yesterday - not The Warning, whatever the other is. I forget it's name now. Couldn't be bothered too, though.

[ComradeBadger]

Coming On Strong.. it's a good album, but not as good as The Warning I don't think..

[CrazyHarij]

I got the Warning and a few tracks off coming on strong. my favourite is crap kraft dinner off coming on strong.

There are a few really good tracks on the warning, i think the quality seems to be about the same on both albums

[mortiz]

Rush
Helloween
Dream Theater (Just some, don't like all of their stuff)
Black Sabbath / Dio
Yes
King Crimson
Joe Satriani

[TheAntipop]

This week has mostly been A Silver Mt. Zion and Deftones. The Horses in the Sky album is amazing; can't help but sing along to it at.. well, at all times. The new Deftones is great too, save one or two tracks, but songs like Mein, Hole in the Earth, Combat and Kimdracula. Bit of Aphex Twin here and there, Classics and Caustic Window.

This weekend I've been playing alot of Atreyu, though, for some strange reason. They aren't that bad actually. The vocals, both the more melodic and 'screamed' vocals, are both great, but when it comes to the fast 'metal' drums and the widdly-diddly 'metal' guitar solos it just gets cringeworthy, which is a shame because some of the songs have some great sections of goodness, but countered by their metal side. Ehh.

[Mechagodzilla]

I've been listening to a lot cello-centric rock like Matson Jones and Hangedup (I'm actually listening to them right now, and they are ****ing intense).
Otherwise:

Polmo Polpo
Ulrich Schnauss
I Can Put My Arm Back On You Cant
Hrsta
Set Fire To Flames
Russian Circles
Feuermusik
Do Make Say Think
Black Ox Orkestar
The Tragically Hip
Max Richter
Johann Johannsson
Stereolab

And, of course, the supercombo of Godspeed and Silver Mt. Zion

[evil^milk]

I Can Put My Arm Back On You Cant



sometimes i can't help but think that people run fresh out of ideas for band names.

[Hazar]

Nightwish
Dragonforce
Sonata Arctica

I like Power metal bands especially Power metal and Melodic bands. Sonata Arctica is perfect for that. Just discovered them about 2 weeks ago, and I can't believe I missed something like that. I ordered all their albums.

Sonata Arctica is my favorite band of all time so far... can't wait for their newest album next year.

and ennui, immortal technique sure has a distinct opinion eh? one of the few rap artists I can listen to

[Space Farm]

And err... Alizée D:

No, you've got it wrong buddy...you look at Alizee, not listen to her.

Melvins for me and Orange Goblin.

[TheAntipop]

Melvins are touring England soon. I forget the dates, but I almost masturbated over them. I can't wait, although they cancelled the one nearest to me for another but who cares... it's the Melvins.

[Azner]

None of those bands are indie mate. They're pop.

Not saying they're bad though. Although MCR are GASH, as are Maroon 5... Coldplay have gone downhillll

Snow Patrol is Indie i think, And its quite a good band :)

[Vass]

Neil Young
JET
RHCP
The Fray D: (My brothers fault)
Stephen Lynch
Nirvana

[ComradeBadger]

Snow Patrol is Indie i think, And its quite a good band :)

They're alright yeah, but they're pop pretty much :)

[Ennui]

and ennui, immortal technique sure has a distinct opinion eh? one of the few rap artists I can listen to

Absolutely. I don't listen to a whole lot of rap, but I really enjoy Immortal Technique. He actually has some idea what he's talking about.

[Aenama]

TooL,APC,Rammstein, and Trapt.

[Hazar]

Absolutely. I don't listen to a whole lot of rap, but I really enjoy Immortal Technique. He actually has some idea what he's talking about.

smart rappers are indeed hard to come by.

[gick]

smart rappers are indeed hard to come by.

Sage Francis is the smartest of them all...

This week I am mainly listening to Bjork. Pleasantly suprised to discover that she doesnt suck.

[TheAntipop]

Sage Francis is great. I got a Anticon Records sampler CD off my mate and it's really good stuff. Alias, Sole, Themselves, Sage, etc. Loving it. It's not all ''YO YO DON'T BE STEPPIN ON MA TURF OR I GATZ YOU FOR DISS-RESH-PECT-IN MEH'' and theres some really good, thought-provoking lyrics involved.

[ComradeBadger]

At the moment:

Elle Milano
The Rakes
The White Stripes
David Bowie

:D

[pomegranate]

Boards of Canada and Aphex Twin on my laptop to get me to sleep every night
