I own Geogaddi, and have a few songs from the Future Sound of London...

Yeah, I like the genre, but I'm pretty picky over who I like in it... A few I think are worth mentioning:
The Thievery Corporation
Massive Attack (these two are pretty popular, I'm betting you've heard of them)
Timo Mass (has a few decent tracks)
Gotan Project (kind of a jazzy electronica feel to it)
Goldfrapp (just some really beautiful songs). [addsig]

Wow. Lots of metal bands listed here.

I like The Whitlams (http://thewhitlams.com). Not much else, apart from electronica which, for some reason, everyone seems to find very amusing. Probably because they're all fools.

Orbital is f**king awesome. Anyway:

Garbage
Tool
NIN
Radiohead
STP
The Offspring (not so much anymore, but they're still okay)
U2 (simply an awesome band)
Chris Cornell's stuff (Sound Garden, Solo, AudioSlave, etc..)
PerlJam (its okay from time to time)
Alien Ant Farm (I hate their rendition of Smooth Criminal, But they're good otherwise)
The Temptations (I'm sure this looks random)
Fiona Apple (Been listening to her a lot lately)
No Doubt (Selective songs, but Tragic Kingdom, didn't care for their first album much)
The Darkness (Too goofy and yet cool to not like them)
Led Zeplin (they've been growing on me lately)
Red Hot Chilli Peppers (bet you didn't see that one coming)

Then there's always a barrage of other things that are good: Clapton, Frampton, Sting/Police, etc...


Oh, also, check out Fishbone, they're alright from time to time ... a little weird sometimes though. [addsig]

Not my favorite group, but my latest discovery:

Placebo http://www.placeboworld.co.uk/

Monqui I have exactly your musical tastes (minus Timo Mass that I never heard of). And I'm adding two similar bands:

Portis Head

Ramasutra

with the exception of the 80's monster metal bands, our tastes seem to suffer agisms..

many of the newer groups are good though, so i cannot complain much.

it is however nice to see so many acknowledge the 80's for what it was..

i don't know about the rest of you, but i plan on being around for the next 20 years, lets meet up here at SP and decide if the groups of today are still being played... i am betting there will still be 80's metal on the airways

Orph list your bands, I'm sure we will know some of them

Trust me if there was any age I could live in apart from now/future it would be 1980's in America, the start of the thrash metal years I have the hair for it! (long hair with strange bits going curly on the end which is annoying...)

Anyone whos got Metallica on thier list should try Megadeth. The lead singer of Megadeth was the original Lead guitarist and singer of metallica. He also wrote most of the songs on the first 2 Metallica albums, but was never in the band when they started releasing albums. [addsig]

I'm mostly into punk / ska / emo / rock, with a few other likes. I can't be bothered listing loads of bands so instead, here is my entire mp3 collection in a winamp playlist...

I've listened to a few Megadeath songs before, after learning of Dave Mustaine's part in the first Metallica album. But it just seemed so stale and dull. Metallica were exciting, heavy and fast, but Megadeath seemed to never reach that same level Metallica did on their first album. Meh, reccommend something and I'l give 'em another shot. [addsig]

Youthanasia, Train Of Consequences, Ashes In Your Mouth, and the one Metallica couldn't do even if they wanted to- Hanger 18. That song is so filled with uber paced solos I'm suprised they didn't die in the making of it. Whats more scary is when they play it live, they play it even faster! Mainly try anything from Youthanasia or Rust in Peace albums.

Though you're obviously not observant to skillfulness in song writing The writing of Megadeth songs is far superior to Metallica. Megadeth is written all at once, the drums sounds relate to the music. With metallica they make a drum beat, slap on a riff and whack on some fable stories for lyrics.

True Dave Mustaines voice is hard to like, but it's very unique and fits the music- I couldn't imagine Hetfield singing it. The closest Hetfield ever got to being like Mustaine was on the Kill 'Em All album. He only sung it like that because Mustaine did when he wrote all the songs from it

once upon a time, we all wrote down the books we had read, and mine was quite long, i was even accused of copying the libraries sci-fi section booklisting..

*scans Duncan's list*

did you copy the playlist of some radio station bud

just a few more songs, and you will have listened to as many songs as i have read in books

I have more variation in mine Goes from Anime Japanese pop, to Death Metal, to classical, to Electronica back round to LMF (Lazy mother f**kers) a Chinese rap group- very funny to listen to

Hanger 18 does indeed have some insane solos, but insane solos do not make a song good. Still not convinced I'm afraid, and I still think Megadeath are stale and dull in comparison to Metallica. Although there are some nice riffs. And Train Of Consequences reminded me more of Pearl Jam than Thrash.

Ah, I wondered why his voice was so s**te on one album, and then the next year on Metallica's second album he could actually sing. He was imitating Dave!

dude, i couldn't even begin, cause honestly, i dunno if the songs i listen to most even have "bands"

yeah sure, i love AC/DC and Pink Floyd, but i am just as apt to listen to ABBA, Karen Carpenter or Air Supply, i have a fairly wide range, as long as its rock, and has words you can comprehend without a code book.

music thats a no-no.. rap, country, opera

odd ball stuff like beethoven, bach and their ilk, i could listen to all day long.
