I like the HEAVY kind.

Speaking about the metal, doom metal is the best ~_^ Tristania, The Theatre of Tragedy… Although I’m not a goth I’m fond of Lacrimosa. The voice of Tilo Wolf puts me in ecstasy…
…Antichrisis where folk theme combines with heavy guitar is also cool.
M, there’re a lot of musicians I like.

Wow I was so argent and stupid a year ago
For one thing I love Hendrix’s and the Led
Also I was a very annoying person on this forum

ToT was alright, have you heard any of Liv Kristine's newer stuff? I don't know exactly what constitutes 'doom metal,' but I'm pretty sure some of my preferred bands fall into that category.

Most of what I like is female-fronted rock/metal bands, you know, the beautiful/melodic kind, not the shrieking/thrashy kind. In fact, I can't think of any bands with male vocalists that I actually like.

Most of my friends call it "goth crap," but I'm hardly a goth.

Old skool hip hop and electro.

Then new school hip hop, 80' & 90's techno/acid/house, blues, dub/reggae/ska, jazz, electronica, some genre-spanning tunes.

If it's good, I like it. Like the Red Hot Chili Peppers free concert on BBC Digital, very good, very very good. They know how to play live. They're a real rock band, they even lift lyrics from Public Enemy with respect.

My favourite band is a Scottish band called The Fratellis! I think it's what you call 'alternative rock!' They're good though!

I'm sort o professionally without taste; if someone comes and asks me to record them, then I've got to put myself inside their music to do a good job. Even if I'm PAing a festival I'm not much use if the music leaves me cold. So I discover lots of new forms and genres of music.
Still, my tastes we established a log time ago, so I tend to listen to older stuff in my spare time, though this could be Stravinsky, Pink Floyd, Bob Dylan, Beethoven, Velvet Underground, Frank Zappa…

Of late I seem to be developing a strong taste for things like Midnight Syndicate and Nox Arcana (somewhat more toward the latter, as their work seems a bit more solidly structured to me, but perhaps that's just my perception). A bit theatrical, even melodramatic, but quite nice; at times extremely evocative.

Rap music specifically Tupac or The Game.

I like so many things! I actually teach music, so I try to have an open mind. BUT... some of my favorites are:

Tori Amos (number one all time fav)
Dream Theater
Ani Difranco
Evanescance
Rascal Flatts
311

to name a few... There are SO many more.

My taste in music ranges from progressive rock, through rock (including metal) to folk and bluegrass/country/Americana. Also some classical. But I listen to either prog or folk more than anything else.

Also, there is no such thing as 'the best guitarist ever'. Hendrix was certainly a great guitarist, but there have been a good number up there with him, like Steve Vai, Carlos Santana, Steve Howe, to name just three. My personal favourite is/was Peter Green of the original Fleetwood Mac.

Alot of different things but mainly band music -

I really do range as to my mood at the time e.g. Iron Maiden, Sabeth, Megadeath, Metallica and the Foo's. Though mainly less well known bands and small European groups, though at the minute I'm liking female vocalists set to a metal riff like Nightwish or Lacunacoil for some reason - And of course the god's that are Led zep and Queen! They got me through some hard times.

But then I can go for Damien rice, U2, REM or Keane and the like from time to time and one of my friends plays alot of the Manic's which has a tendency to worm its way into my head. Does not help that both my sisters play it alot as well along with classical - Some of which is quite catchy Haha!

To be honest, it depends on my current mood/situation, etc. A wide variety, though some of my favorites are Stravinsky, Crumb, Holst (Planets, of course), Wagner, Hawkwind, Russ Garcia, Jimi Hendrix, Penderecki (especially "Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima", "The Dream of Jacob" and "Polymorphia"); Varese, Ligetti, Bernard Herrmann, Jerry Goldsmith, Lalo Schiffrin, Goblin, Moricone, Blue Oyster Cult, court music (12th-14th centuries), Gregorian chant. The latest addition to favorites is Nox Arcana. (You know, the word "schizophrenic" just doesn't cover this.....)
