I am just a bit curious about the musical tastes of the people in this board. I am not going to instult anyone about their tastes, I like what I like and I hate what I hate but everyone should listen to what s/he pleases....just tell me what are your favorite music genres and some bands/artists...whatever it may be...rock, goth, metal, pop, easy listening, hip-hop, electro, dance etc. Whatever...I love music and I think that it is a strong element of each person's personality and feelings and by your replies I might understand several things...

My taste is quite varied. I like everything, all kinds of music. I guess I should just state the CDs I own. That would be easiest:

AC/DC Morbid Angel
Alice In Chains Radiohead

Wicked Lady...variation in music tastes is good, I applaud you for this. Personally I listen to almost everything from Classical Music to brutal death metal like Morbid Angel It just depends on my temper...if I am relaxed I will put the Moonlight Sonata by Bethoven...if I am pissed I will put 'Lunatic of God's Creation' (I'm sure you now it)

Rolling Stones, Dave Matthews Band, REM, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Doors, Led Zeppelin, Grateful Dead, Bob Marley, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Eminem, Shaggy, Busta Rhymes, Dr. Dre, Mariah Carey, Dido, Enya, Darkest of the Hillside Thickets, Beatles, Tapping the Vein, Black Sabbath, Nirvana, Motorhead, a bunch of others...those are some of my favorites but I listen to a lot of diffrent stuff, my favorite type of music though is probably Rolling Stones-Led Zeppelin era rock. My favorite singer is Mariah Carey. Tsk tsk, so ungoth...and I only have two Cure songs on Napster...shame, shame...

Hey Hedon,

Silver Moondragon obviously lets MTV dictate her taste in music. The thread could have been called "What bands does Jay hate?" and your answer would have been perfect.

etc

And also many of the bands you mention, I was just bored to sit and write down their names

........and what "commercial music" would you be refering to?

First of all, when I say a music is commercial I DON'T say that it's not good. I am not bashing anything here. I just want to say things with their names. Commercial music is mainly pop, easy listening music (Madonna, Spears, Christina, Gaynor, Carrey etc), mallcore (Korn, Limb Bizkit, Deftones etc), alternative rock or whatever is called (e.g. Oasis)...and Metallica. Anyway, most of the things and video-clips you'll see on MTV or you will listen from the Radio are commercial music.

Death to commercial music.

I don't believe anyone really listed any commmercial music as you define it. And how is something commercial simply because it's popular? So to be original you inherently have to suck? Is this what you're saying?

You're assuming the people listening to popular music have good taste with that last argument.
