Music! What kind of music floats your boat?

Hehe, indeed i feel the same whenever bands cancel their show/tour.
And indeed all there's left to do is wait and see, at least i get a refund so might as well buy a new movie from that:-D

By the way, i can't promise anyone to like either of the bands, i have to say. For they are both the "love it/hate it" kind of bands, very technical with polyrythms and time breaks. Some people i know find Meshuggah too technical and therefore boring, and others (like me) love it and try to play along some songs on the guitar. Wich is nearly impossible.
DEP is also extremely technical, but louder & more agressive, and considerred as inhuman by my colleagues:-P

So if anyone has some good suggestions to forget this dissapointment, im open for it!

I have been listening to some excellent noise releases by Wolf Eyes and Gelsomina.
Noise as a genre has been kind of off-limits for me,
a curiosity, but i haven't really been delving deeper into it, until now.

Sounds like a crap excuse to me.
I saw the 'Shugg with Machine Head a few years ago and they didn't even have the vocalist...

Currently loving all music with guitars tuned to F! You and with the groove of a dirty STAX classic. So Grave's 'Soulless' is top of the pile.

The genres I listen to the most are post-rock, shoegaze, metal, industrial, and jazz.

Among my favorites are: Boris, Slowdive, Ulver, Katatonia, Opeth, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Jesu, Godflesh, Explosions in the Sky, Isis, Pelican, Jaga Jazzist, John Coltrane, Converge, Meshuggah, Skinny Puppy, Ministry, KMFDM, Mr. Bungle, My Bloody Valentine, Carcass, and Om.

I agree, good taste indeed! I saw Converge here in holland last fall. Great live band! Ow, and to Punchb0wl, sorry i hadn't seen you replied on my earlier comment here. But you say Meshuggah did a gig without Jens? That must've been a weird experience. well as long as Thomas Haake is still behind the drums, (i could almost consider that guy half human half god haha) I mean, who else could keep up those ridiculous time structures and polyrythms?!:crazyeye:

And while we're at it, JKL, could you also please give me some recommends for Boris? So far I only know their collabs with Merzbow, which I like very much.

I've been listening to Scott Walker a lot recently. It's pretty amazing to notice how his career has progressed during the years.

I first heard his first solo album back when i was sixteen, and i was thinking that "what is this, some sinatra stuff, i don't get it" and of course i couldn't get it then. Now, it's like a whole new world to listen to those first recordings.

The first albums have this contrast in the music and the lyrics. It seems almost some kind of a puzzle, a challenge for the listener, to listen more carefully...

and later on in his career, it's amazing how he has this ability to make lyrics that seem almost completely bonkers on paper to sound sensible and true when he sings them.

I think i like his album The Climate of Hunter from the 80s the mostest. Good thing they re-issued that lost treasure.

I like to listen to a lot of genres of music, but mainly rock and metal. Some of my favorites are: Marilyn Manson, The Birthday Massacre, Dir En Grey, Cradle of Filth, Otep, Slayer, Moi Dix Mois, Jack Off Jill, Scarling, AFI, In This Moment, Lacuna Coil, Behemoth, Wednesday 13, Nine Inch Nails, Goldfrapp, U-Nee, Kittie, System of A Down, HIM, KISS, and Bleeding Through.

I listen to absolutely everything.
I listen to Electronica most of the time, however, my library ranges from classical to death metal and just about every genre in between.

i love old school techno like underworld, or moby, or the prodigy and some scremo music is good to :twisted:

The Birthday Massacre..

In the past few years, I have gotten into:

Amon Amarth
Edguy
Amorphis
Noumena

Nice List Bug-Eyed Earl!I love a lot of the bands on your list...Amon Amarth totally rocks,Edguy,Kamelot,and Blind Guardian are all exceptional Power Metal Bands.A nice mix of Melodic Death metal acts on there as well.

i've been listening to a lot of obscure krautrock vinyls..
and music by factrix, venus in furs, the stooges, burzum, waterboys, verlaines, and skullflower has been rotating in my ipod for the last week or so. :-P
