Now here's the kicker Vapor... Project 86 is technically a Christian rock band.

Yeah, I read that in the comments.I suppose you could associate them with Skillet then. Project 86 seems a touch darker though.

@VaporX

I would just like to state.. every generation in the entire timeline of humanity, majority will always like/obsessover pop music. As that's why it is pop music. Pop = Popular.. In 100 years maybe rock style music will become pop.. who can tell the future?

Richard, from what you've linked to, P86 sounds like most of the stuff I'd hear on Sirius' "Octane" radio station, you should check that out if you haven't already.

I'm primarily a metal head, but not your average metal head.

If anyone listens to the following, I'll be impressed. Post-metal and post-rock is a big part of my collection, namely ISIS (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xS3NkhjsBf0),
Intronaut (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1LmYsCzAgw),
Pelican (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPX9mHd0grM),
and The Ocean (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJT42OoWx0o) to name a few. I don't mind Cult of Luna and the almighty Neurosis either, but I don't own their stuff.

Progressive metal and technical death metal are also big ones for me. Tool in particular (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhjG47gtMCo),
Karnivool is a bit softer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nA05U0_S2y8),
Meshuggah (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuoDQKtiiJA),
Gojira (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afE6jbrFS4w)
and Opeth (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cb9C1u8HsR8), of course.

Sludge metal is pretty neat too, particularly Baroness (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cb9C1u8HsR8) and the first two Mastodon albums (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=labytsb3gfI).

Outside of that: U2, Black Sabbath, The Dead Weather, Amy Winehouse, Foo Fighters, Led Zeppelin, Pearl Jam, Radiohead, The Police, Rage Against the Machine, most of the classic grunge out there and, well let's just throw the entire '90s in there!

SPECIAL NOTE: This is extremely beautiful music by a Swede known as iamamiwhoiam... I'm hooked to her first album: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7zyF2QJ1BA

Sorry, that last link was the wrong track by the same artist, check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2KxlzQMTpU

As for pop, everything pre-2005 was tolerable. Now it's so simplistic and repetitive and loud and obnoxious...

... although we're starting to see that fade away. Soft rock and alternative is making its way back into the mainstream. We only have to ride the rough waters for a little longer!

I'm a music education major, and with that comes a serious love of music. I'll listen to nearly everything, and I've performed many different genres of music.

Favorite band hands down is Dream Theater.

Someone mentioned Opeth, I saw them live opening for Dream Theater and it was sick.

I play in the jazz band, percussion ensemble, and the symphonic band at my college, and at my old college I also performed in the symphonic orchestra and in the pit for a few operas. Played in bluegrass bands and death metal bands (neither which recorded.)

I'm a redneck at heart and love my old country music, but love Daft Punk and much much more.

Always willing to talk music, and I get excited every time someone brings it up (as you can tell by my longest post I've ever posted here.

I have a few videos of myself performing, and I'm trying to record more. If you would like a listen, keep in mind this are a few years old and I'm quite a bit better now.

If anyone wants to chat about music in any form feel free to hit me up in a game or elsewhere!

Sorry for the double post.

But if you are going to look at my videos, I believe this one to be one of the best. There are only a few on there. I'll see if I can't get a few more soon.

@Noob School. I used to be lead trombone for the Roosevelt Jazz Band and Cadet Band. Probably why I like Jazz/classical so much.
@Ericleb I think the same way as you for pop music, before a certain time period (can't say, I never been a fan of pop music) pop was 'ok', but now it has deteriorated into something EXTREMELY unsatisfactory.

Classic rock music of 60's and 70's.. even if there are hundreds awesome artists my favorite one are 1st Bob Dylan 2nd Pink Floyd 3rd Led Zeppelin... They are the most well-known but still the best.
Favourite songs are 1st Love minus zero \ no limit, 2nd Brain Damage, 3rd Dazed and confused.

No classical music lovers here?
Such a shame... I could hardly live without Tchaikovsky.
Please, people, you just have to love this, don't you? It's the finale of a classical overture.., with cannons as an instrument!

Classical (Western, Indian, Chinese), Blues (Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy, BB King), Classic Rock (Beatles, CCR, Hendrix, Page, Doors, Dylan, Floyd, Clapton, Stones), lots of Spanish pop (which is usually rather poetic, like siglo de oro poetry), Marley (and his sons, who sound like him), MoTown/R&B (Gaye, Charles), Manu Chao, Tryo, Dave Matthews, innovative or poetic Chinese pop (Wang Fei), the Instrumental-Jazz-Pop Blend I often heard in Paris.

i like classical music, as well as pop and the beatles, and rock from a few decades ago

beethovens 5th is my favourite piece, though it is pretty cheesy now. Ronda alla turca by mozart on harpsichord is very good too

Same as General Arun. I listen to all kinds of music accually. don`t like them all. Dubstep (sorry Vapor), (very) heavy metal or some of those electronical "songs" aren`t my favourites.

i like wiz khalifa, B.O.B, swedish house mafia and mac miller.

also drake aswell

i dont even like music lol.

i sort of listen obsessively to one artist or band, with the others in moderation, then i switch a week later

one week it's the pianoguys, next its the script (currently listing to it right now on iPod)

I've always preferred female vocalists as I find them soothing (chauvinistic?)- currently enjoying Santigold, Metric, YYY's, Paramore, Flyleaf, etc...

I like classical all right. Gustav Holst's The Planets Suite is very nIce, as well as Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata Movement 3. However, I do like the symphonies of Beethoven but I think that they are just a cover up for people who say they like classical music. Arum, if you do, interest me in more classical music that you like; not the songs that everyone knows about.
