Discuss bands here

For the sake of keeping discussion flowing, let's not just put up a list of the bands we like, but rather you know... actually discuss music here as a whole.
Don't be ashamed if you feel you've got dissimilar tastes in music to others. Of our members so far, I think I can say that the most of us have a very broad taste in (what we deem "good") music.

Oh but if you're like a sucky emo kid, then yeah. Don't post here. We've all heard and seen all of your music all before. You're not showing us anything new - trust me.

Ok, so. I know LJ's into Iron Maiden. That got a backstory to it?

You mean the backstory of why I like Iron Maiden?

Yep. Like is there any specific thing that fuelled a liking for their style or anything like that?

Uhhh I guess. But I better go to bed now before dad gets back. I will just update this post with more info tomorrow  .

Goodnight.

And then a bunch of random bands who have a few good songs
Added in somewhere above... Jonothon Coulton (Still Alive from Portal)

Hey Guys, while you are all off to bed, i just turned the old compy on!

I am into a lot of different bands and styles. My favourite song of all time is a classical music piece (yeah so im a bit of a geek - deal with it). It's called Danse Macabre. It pretty much about skeletons dancing in a graveyard, and you can more or less hear the waltz the ghouls and stuff do. It's awesome.

Danse Macabre

But i also like all kinds of other music like nightwish and evanescence (because that is my fav genre), rock (who doesnt like rock), roll (because i ate to much) and punk. A bit of pop never goes awry.






Oh and the Jonas Brothers - no one can live without the Jonas Bros 

That Danse Macabre track sounds pretty awesome.
Yeah, I love classical music. Don't worry, I think most of us joined here so far appreciate classical music quite a bit though (as do a lot of other gamers), what with our game soundtrack tastes (Morrowind, Oblivion, etc).
A while back I "got" an album featuring the 50 most popular classical pieces of all time. It's freakin' awesome. And just recently I "got" Kronos Quartet's CD on which they do Phillip Glass. Awesome as.

The soundtrack to the film Gattaca has some AWESOME classical stuff. As does Gladiator, and a Beautiful Mind.
There are too many films with good classical/orchestral/quartet soundtracks to mention though.

I think the most popular style though would be like the epic orchestral stuff, because that's the most prominent in the most forward medias like film and video games nowadays.

Reason They are a good Band
History I listened to them once and then i liked them
