Curious.
having a glass of wine and listening to some tunes.
Music is a huge part of me and Chris. I'd say that is really how we met.
But we do have some differences on some bands.
What do you listen to? And do your loves like the same??
Full Version: What kind of music do all you people like???
Well I like a bit of everything.
However, me and the mr. me are rebels I guess and we like our punk rock
Music is a BIG part of our lives *looks at the guitars across the living room* !

That is quite different.
How about road trips?? What do you listen to???
I come from a very musically inclined family, worked in radio myself, and had my own modern rock show (punk, metal, alternative)
The husband and I are most definitly rockers at heart, he is more of a metal head though, and I am more of a punk. I got to see Dead Kennedy's on their last tour as a VIP guest *brag*
I've been a fan of Alkaline Trio since I was 19, got to see them in the states and in the UK and since I met my husband he's turned me onto Machine Head and Slayer.

We both like Robbie Williams and James Blunt so we listen to them as well as Keith Urban and sometimes just scan the local stations.
I guess out of the two of us I'm more inclined to like metal than him BUT that being said, I like some more poppier stuff than he.
But we fight over cd's all the time, and sing and play music together all the time

We're pretty eclectic. Wes is more 'up' on the newer stuff - I'm hopelessly out of touch.
Punk or metal doesn't do it for either of us. He loves blues music. I like opera - for just listening I prefer operatic symphonies without the words. I guess because of our ages, we are also a bit stuck on the good stuff from the 70s and 80s.
We compiled a CD for our wedding ceremony and the reception. It had some traditional irish music, and some new stuff from the Chieftains. I walked down the aisle to 'Londonderry Aire' (Danny Boy) - no words with solo on Uileean pipes. Very lovely.
As far as the newer stuff, we had Fleetwood Mac (White Rabbit, Tusk, and The Chain), Etta James (At Last), Joss Stone (Sleep Like a Child), Bobby Darrin (Mack the Knife), and The Beatles (Here Comes the Sun).
And just for weirdness and because my son was the Field Commander of his high school marching band, we had three marching tunes (White Rabbit, The Best of Times, and Hey Baby).

Adam and I are pretty close on what we listen to-- I'm slightly more varied than he is typically but it's all normally around the indie/alternative/rock/emo genres for the main parts. Theres a few bands we totally see eye to eye on (We're both nuts about Feeder, we've scheduled a flight or two on occasion to visit each other so we can catch a few gigs together, and together we own the largest collection of their memorabilia in the US-- We only know one or two people in the UK whos collection rivals ours too... it's become quite the hobby for us both when we have some extra cash!), and a few we're not so much in common on (Biffy Clyro, who I love to death, he only likes a song or two; Linkin Park he quite likes but I haven't listened to them in ages), but the tastes are close enough that we don't mind tagging along to concerts to appease the other in the event that there isn't a band playing that one likes and the other doesn't. He's being a doll and tagging along with me to see Biffy Clyro at the warped tour this summer, twice.
I have a little more of a metal & punk side to me than he does (was big into them when I was younger), and he tends to like some of the more popular rock that I don't like, but yeah, overall, we're music buddies. I don't think we'd be as close as we are if we didn't share that, because music's pretty big in both of our lives.
I do have him to thank for turning me into a lot of (if not the majority) of bands I am into now-- I seem to be very drawn to (typically mostly unknown) UK bands. Which normally doesn't work out so hot regarding US tours. It's actually one of the reasons I wish I was moving there instead from time to time.

All good music my dear!
I was rasied with everything from Bluegrass to Opera so there is something from every type of music I can appreciate. not into rap, hip hop or all that much country. I'd prefer the old country to the new poppy stuff!
Played the sax and the piano for years (don't much anymore) so anything classical.
I am a huge Joni Mitchell fan due to my mom.
I can sing every single word to Les Miserables....since I was about 12.
And....I have Slayer on my iTunes. Decided ages ago that I didn't need TV...(I am a big reader too) so to fill that empty space I've got tons of music. But I always have had tons!

There are a few bands that really are the reason Chris and I started talking. Porcupine Tree and Blackfield! I think both are considered Progressive
OMG - I'm sitting here looking at the music on my PC, and in my CD Case..
Black Eyed Peas, Lenny Kravitz, Eminem, Kelly Clarkson, Rascall Flatts, Willie Nelson, Bon Jovi, AC/DC, Crazy Frog, Cueshe, Matchbox20, Boston Pops, Chants of Monks, NickelBack, Pink Floyd, Rod Stewart, Tina Turner, Janis Joplin....
And the list goes on and on.. I guess I like everything.. (oops, NO DISCO)

I love this thread!
My fiance and I pretty much see eye-to-eye on music, with some exceptions. Like, he once owned a "HIM" album and I've never let him live it down [though, to be fair, he bought it during a hard break-up so maybe he was not thinking clearly, hehe]. I own a lot of George Michael CDs and it just makes him terribly ill.
Even though he's only 4 years younger than me, sometimes there's like this huge gap with music taste. He LOVES the type of music called 'Mash Ups" and I feel like an old crumudgeon going 'It's not MUSIC! It's just a bunch of NOISE! It's not ORIGINAL! What is this new fangled craziness you're playing me???". He, on the other hand, doesn't really know much about 'The Clash" or 'The Jam" and I'm like "Where the HECK have you been????".
My music taste is all over the map, I'll go from vintage Red Hot Chili Peppers to Billie Holiday in one sitting. My favorites are U2, RHCP, Fun Lovin' Criminals, G-Love & Special Sauce, Scissor Sisters, Robert Randolph & The Family Band, Beck, The Beastie Boys, Blur, The Clash, Jamiroquai, and craploads more. My fiance is a big fan of NIN, Johnny Cash, Dresden Dolls, Phillip Glass, Yann Tiersen, and The Eels.
On the topic of music, what's "YOUR SONG" with your S.O.? Ours is 'Somewhere Beyond The Sea" by Bobby Darrin. We've got like 5 [I think everyone does! hehe] but that's the ONE.

LOL.
"The Chain" - Fleetwood Mac.
The lyrics are decidedly non-romantic. But on his first visit here, everytime we went anywhere in the car, it was played. Everytime.
So we decided - why mess with fate - and claimed it as our own.
A little of that Motown Magic, a bit of Rod Stewart, got Pink's latest and also brought Amy Winehouse, my taste varies depending on what mood i'm in lol

At our beach wedding, my flower girl/maid of honor walked down the aisle to song! I walked down to Ella Fitzgerald's "The Man I Love".
We danced to the Kinks 'Waterloo SUnset' since it's all about London & that's where we met!

We have some of the same tastes!!
Yah "our song" is not even a love song. It is more of a lost song....But the wedding band is going to learn it anyway!
Like a few other people round here, the whole reason we got talking in the first place was because we have similar taste in music. How on earth have I come to be marrying someone I 'met' through a random middle-of-the-night encounter on a music forum, discussing our shared fondness for My Bloody Valentine?! I forget that's how we started talking, now - it seems insane (and incredible) when I think about it!
Anyway... we both like the same kind of stuff, pretty much - our music tastes converge, even if they don't match up entirely! We both love indie-rocky-guitarry stuff, generally... and both love getting all nostalgic about various bands we both loved in the 90s. He's also constantly looking for new bands and introducing me to them - which is good, saves me the trouble of listening to loads of crap in the hopes of finding the occasional gem! We do seem to love the same stuff, if I think something's amazing I can be pretty sure he'll agree, and vice-versa... the only stuff he loves that makes me think 'wtf?!?!?!' is the shouty-yelly ancient hardcore punk he adores, and which just sounds like a hideous noisy racket to me! It makes me feel like my own grandmother, or something, going 'how can you call this music? How can you like it? This is just people shouting!'
Ummm, specific bands? I dunno... ones we both love: the Afghan Whigs, Throwing Muses, My Bloody Valentine (as already mentioned!), Her Space Holiday, The Magnetic Fields... hmm, my mind has gone blank! Oh, he's obsessed with Husker Du and Bob Mould, and is disgusted that I love(d) the Jesus & Mary Chain (amongst other ancient throwbacky stuff - god, I feel old!) because he thinks they are (one of his many nominations for) The Worst Band Ever.
Um, rambling.. I will shut up!

Our wedding song was Highland Cathedral on the piano because we couldn't find a piper in Central Pennsylvania
But at our reception we looped Metallica and Alkaline Trio CD's (metallica before they sucked)

I've always liked country more than any other genre (blame my parents) and Dave's always been into all kinds, but mainly rock.
When we first met, he would text me lines from songs, which I'm sure was his way of getting me to listen to them. It worked! We now like some of the same music and made a deal that whoever's driving gets to choose the radio station.
Our song is Gerry Raferty - Right Down The Line. The words just mean so much to both of us.

OMG!!! The Jesus & Mary Chain!! Awe man, I still freakin' love "Come On" and I often play "Sometimes Always" on road trips. They're not the best band in the world but I still play 'em and I ain't shamed!! hehe.
God, nostalgia. I have 90s collections up the wahzoo [Even though I really don't think the 1990s should be considered 'nostagic' at all!]. One of my favorite things is to play 'Mmh mmh mmh mmh" by The Crash Test Dummies and lip synch it dramatically to horrified individuals around me. It's so terrible...it's GOOD.
EMF, James, Rancid, Dinosaur Jr., Alice In Chains, Pavement, Pulp, Soundgarden, Primus, The Petshop Boys, Spacehog, Kula Shaker, and soooo many more are in my repetoire. I refuse to feel old! Though, sometimes I do when I've heard teenagers referring to Green Day as 'Classic Punk". Yeeeesh.
country music plays on my radio only.

When I was in college I was a DJ and The Petshop boys stuff always got thrown in... and who couldn't like Dinosaur JR. I haven't heard Spacehog in ages. Going to find it.

OMG!!! The Jesus & Mary Chain!! Awe man, I still freakin' love "Come On" and I often play "Sometimes Always" on road trips. They're not the best band in the world but I still play 'em and I ain't shamed!! hehe.
God, nostalgia. I have 90s collections up the wahzoo [Even though I really don't think the 1990s should be considered 'nostagic' at all!]. One of my favorite things is to play 'Mmh mmh mmh mmh" by The Crash Test Dummies and lip synch it dramatically to horrified individuals around me. It's so terrible...it's GOOD.

Hm, I love lots of those too. 'specially Dinosaur Jr. And Pulp. And Pavement... hmm, not listened to Pavement in ages!
And yeah, TheZilla - the JAMC definitely weren't the best band ever, but I think my boy's estimation of them as 'Worst Band Ever' is a bit harsh!! They seem to bring him out in hives... bizarrely, as he keeps sending me MP3s by new bands who sound like carbon copies of the Mary Chain - strange boy!

I know I am feeling very musically inclined to pull out all my old stuff!!
I don't want to go work either.

Our wedding song was Highland Cathedral on the piano because we couldn't find a piper in Central Pennsylvania
But at our reception we looped Metallica and Alkaline Trio CD's (metallica before they sucked)

I like all different kinds of music. I grew up in the 60s so enjoy that but also like stuff like Social Distortion and even some country like George Straight and some classics.

Social D ROCKS!
I've seen them play so many times (partly cuz I lived in LA) & once in England...
Neal and I actually met on a music messageboard, though for a band he didn't particularly like and I grew to dislike a bit. It really seemed like fate. We have almost identical taste in music and especially share a love for Joy Division, New Order, The Smiths/Morrissey, and Radiohead. And he turned me on to a lot of the music I really like, like Eels and Grandaddy and Elliott Smith, as well as old skool hip hop and electronica like Orbital. I could go on and on, but I think that's enough for now.

Similar to several of us on here! Met through music in some way or another!
I like all those bands too!
I go through stages where I listen to a lot of Elliott Smith...this last week was one.
I can't believe I just stumbled on this topic! DUH.
Obviously, Chas and I met on a Rush message board, so we have that in common in a major way. We both generally like progressive rock and/or heavy metal. He gets a lot of credit for turning me on to Pink Floyd finally (after years of resisting them due to a bad memory/experience with a jerky ex boyfriend) - and for that alone, I'm eternally grateful.
We have a few bands that we appreciate on our own -but generally, our tastes are mostly the same! I guess I can thank our humble beginnings for that...!
