? quoting Addicted to Morphine
This is pretty nerdy, but I just bought the Command and Conquer soundtrack off of the iTunes music store (22 songs for 10 dollars -- pretty cheap).

The composer, Frank Klapecki, is awesome. You probably wont enjoy this soundtrack if you didn't spend hours playing the original command and conquer as a kid, but if you did play C&C and remember the music fondly then this is a great purchase.

The only song worth my time was "Hells March" from the original game. If you can *taboo* me, I'd be grateful.

As ever listening to Autechre (see avatar). Been listening to a lot of cheesy hip hop recently - 50 Cent, Luniz, and another form of "black music" - Reggae!

It's worth hearing some tracks off the album "Nile" by Patrice (german reggae artist, singing in English so don't worry).

Stand out song is "Soulstorm" for me.

Hah, it's so true. The only song I'd play.

My taste in music has widened tremendously in the past 4 years of my life. I don't know exactly why, but I'm glad it has... because music is such a lovely part of life its always good to have more of it around.

For some reason I feel like sharing my favorite bands of the moment. Many of these fit smack dab in the middle of the emo and hip-hop genres. Like ReNo said in the what ticks you off? thread, these two types of music seem to draw the most flak from people but there's a lot of great stuff that people don't give a chance.

Just reading off my audioscrobbler profile... here's my most played artist list:
Brand New, Alkaline Trio, Radiohead, Fall Out Boy, Taking Back Sunday, Led Zeppelin, Guster, Pete Yorn, Beatles, Interpol, Common, Modest Mouse, Audioslave, Nirvana, Death Cab for Cutie, Gorillaz, Weezer, Phish, Dane Cook, Virginia Coalition, Flaming Lips, Jack Johnson, Get Up Kids, Dispatch, Good Charlotte (yes frenchy :P, I think their older stuff deserves way more credit than you give them), NOFX, Jimi Hendrix, Sublime, Dashboard Confessional, Lagwagon, Nada Surf, The Who, Coldplay, RHCP, Saves the Day, Clint Mansell, Less Than Jake, O.A.R., Miles Davis, Soundgarden, The Offspring, Piebald, Rise Against, Bob Marley, Sugarcult, Punchline, Nas, Cream, Riddlin' Kids.

Whew, thats my top 50 most played list. I know some of those artists aren't respected by pop culture right now, but that's what I like to listen to.

ReNo, I don't know if I recommended Punchline to you before, but they have one or two songs I think you might like.

Woohoo, somebody else who thinks that Good Charlotte do have good tunes <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif"> They are by no means stellar song writers or musicians, but the first album in particular is just a fun pop punk outing and they do it fairly well. "Little Things" and "I Heard You" were two of my favourite tunes from the original Project Gotham Racing soundtrack (this was back before they were really famous), and from that I went out and bought the album and was pretty happy with it. "East Coast Anthem" and "Let Me Go" are decent examples of the genre, and while the album on a whole is perhaps a bit samey and repetitive, it's just easy to listen to and impulsive to sing along to. Their second album (think it's their second) "The Young and the Hopeless" I picked up on release and it also has some good tracks. I haven't tried any of the newer stuff by them, I think they have at least one or two other albums, but I may do at some point.

I've only heard two Punchline tunes before, one of which (Open Up) I particularly like and the other (Play) isn't quite as polished but is still enjoyable. You quite possibly did suggest them to me as I've no idea where else I heard them from <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif"> I'll have a hunt about and try to listen to more. Thanks for the reminder; had kinda forgotten about them <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_wink.gif">

Meh, I'll keep my list short since... it's been a long time since I posted in here.

Haley Bonar - Wow, I think I love her. Really good folk singer in the style of Mary Lou Lord. GREAT stuff. Get -> Am I Allowed & Drinking Again

Mirah - Wow, I think I love her too, even though she's a lezbo and rather unattractive. Really good indie-folk singer. Get -> Dear Landlord & The Garden

The National - Kind of reminds me of Iron & Wine for some reason, but not nearly as boring. Get -> Fashion Coat & Slipping Husband.

Wilco - Took me a while to get into, but quite a few interesting tunes, especially on Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. Get -> Heavy Metal Drummer & Jesus, Etc.

---

And what's this I hear about good emo songs? I'll take suggestions. :P

@Hugh: Sheeesh I don't know where to start! I'll come back this afternoon and give it a good thinking and get some picks for you to try. I've only got a few minutes on my hands right now.

@ReNo: In terms of Punchline, you really need to listen to their song "Stop" It is amazingly polished compared to their other stuff. A lot of great parts to belt out in the car too. Check out "Heart Transplant" I love the vocal stuff they do in this song. The pulse of the guitar / beat of the song gets my head bobbing all the time. At around 1:25 into the song it gets really awesome. If you like what you hear then check out "I Don't Know", "Here Goes Nothing", and "Weekends"

As for my favorite Good Charlotte songs... ReNo pretty much hit the nail on the head (East Coast anthem and I Heard You are a couple of my favorites). Here are a few more by them that I still like... years after I first heard them: "Waldorf Worldwide", "Motivation Proclamation", "Seasons", "Change", and "Thank You".

And now I'm late for class...!

/me caresses his poor, poor dial-up.

I'll tell you right now that I've heard and liked at least some of those, but I really really really do not consider Interpol, Modest Mouse, or Pete Yorn to be emo, Morphine. That's the craziest thing I've ever heard in my entire life. But now I just read you might have got carried away. Good 'ol selective reading. ;P Anyhoo... on to killing my connection.

Yeah -- I don't consider them emo by any stretch, but I couldn't resist pitching them to you <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif"> Like you said, I just got carried away.

Also -- can I suggest a few more that I forgot (and a few to supplement ReNo's list)

"The Vines - Ms. Jackson"
"Dashboard Confessional - Standard Lines"
"The Get Up Kids - I'll Catch You"

Adam Sandler - What's Your Name (Album)
Adam Sandler - Shh....Don't Tell (album)
Nine Inch Nails - Halo 2 - Pretty Hate Machine (Album)


Been listening to those 3 albums. They kick so much ass. The What's Your Name album by Sandler has some of his best songs...really good stuff...and his last album, Shh....Don't Tell is prolly his best work to date. Pretty Hate MAchine is just awesome rock music. I reccommend all of it. You know who you are <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

I've been on a Weezer kick the past week or so. These two CD have been playing non-stop in my car:

"The Blue Album"
"Pinkerton"

Get both if you think you may even remotely like Weezer.

Weezer never did it for me. I'm in my System of a Down phase now. And for singles:

Tom Sawyer - Rush
Sweet City Woman - Stampeders

Awesome songs.

The popularity of System of a Down is kind of a mystery to me. I like the little melodic / quiet bits of their songs, where the singer actually sings and I really dislike all the screaming. I can take a little screaming now and then... but in general its just a huge musical turn off for me.

SOAD songs also seem to be quite ADD.

I'd like to touch mine alright. With a big stick. Preferably a 2x4.

I've almost come to the decision that if it weren't for text, 56k would be completely outdated. The day someone posts oversized text downloads, I think I really will cry.

I recently "acquired" some rammstein songs from a freind after he'd been bothering me to listen to it. I must say even though I have absolutely no clue what they're saying its sounds pretty good.
