Yeah, i don't even watch SNL anymore. My roommates do and they tell me when they put a new song on. Plus i do own all of Lonely Island's albums. Because i work it...

Like a Boss!
Same exact thing with me, close friend of mine watches SNL and he usually tells me when the new one is out

I need to catch up with the newer SNL episodes. I'm often playing Halo when they are shown! :P

Anyways, back on topic. New band that I'm into: In Flames. If you're into the whole Swedish melodic death-metal thing, I'd give them a listen!

I'm late to this thread (page 3), but if interested here are my musical interests loosely sorted by current preference:

EDM - Progressive Trance and House (As a candy raver from back in the mid-nineties, a novice DJ as a hobby, EDM has been my staple for years. The wife loves it, and the kids also enjoy Dad's obsession.)
Hip Hop / Rap
Rock - further defined by Pearl Jam, 3 Doors Down, Blue October, etc
Bluegrass - whoa, where did that come from
Pop - Katy Perry is a now not so secret obsession

Good list...well except perhaps for that last one. ;) I personally love trance, tecno, what-ever-you-call-it.
I listen to (most) Gabriel & Dresden, U.N.C.L.E., Massive Attack, Fluke, Juno Reactor, Crystal Method, Pendulum, etc.

...and Pearl Jam sings my favorite song of all time. Again, nice list.
DUDE! That's awesome :D

I'm always glad to find others that appreciate EDM.

Which PJ track is your favorite?

I tried, but I've never been able to get into Pearl Jam. Soundgarden, on the other hand...

Just for the hell of it, here is some beautifully weird weirdness courtesy of one of my favourite bands of all time. Dog Fashion Disco - Leper Friend

They're like Apocalyptica, only for alternative rock/pop!

New The Fray single, Heartbeat. I sounds exactly like The Fray. Therefore I like it. Though I do wish Isaac would do a solo album as well.

HOW DID THE MUSIC THREAD DIE OUT?!

Favorite song at the moment. Every Teardrop is a Waterfall - Coldplay. Very inspiring music when I'm reading a pre-campaign feasibility study report.

this post is kinda influenced by Braythor's one about books, i thought id ask about music, i am new to the forum, so if the older members have already had this disscussion, sowwwie XD

So yeah, music is a huge part of my life (as i guess it is for everyone) so im just interested in what people like to listen too, favourtie bands and whether you play an instrument?

I myself love soooooo many types of music, and i mean all types, sometimes i find people have to defend what they find entertaining or what they like, and it really does my head in. I'm not embarrassed to say i listen to heavy metal one minute, then blast out a bit of cheesy pop the next XD

Some of my fav bands/Artists are: MUSE, A Day To Remember, Arcade Fire, Kings Of Leon, Martin O' Donnell, Paramore, Radiohead, Brand New, The Smiths, David Bowie, The Cure, Feist, The Script, Scary Kids Scaring kids, Alexisonfire, We Came As Romans, The Devil Wears Prada, HURTS, The Drums, Depeche Mode, Two Door Cinema Club, Biffy Clyro, Bloc Party and Four Year Strong... and thats just to name a few XD

I'm always looking for new music to get into, i started a thread on facebook not long ago, trying to get people to recommened some new music for me, but every band/artist they mentioned, i'd already heard :/

Other then just types of music, i also wanted to ask if anyone plays any intsruments, or plays in a band?

I have played drums for 10 years, i play guitar too, but not aswell hahah i've played in a few bands over the years, but once my art started to get noticed, i concentrated on that, so i lost touch with the music scene all together :/

So yeah, share what music you love, and recommend some to me :D
thankies :D xxx

We have had a music thread somewhere, but it seemed to die out for some odd reason (here's it is, if you wanna take a look: http://thehalosocial.com/topic/9097997/1/).

No harm in a fresh one though, as no doubt there's been a few new members since then.

My tastes are varied and include most things as well, but what I listen to depends on my mood and what I'm doing. If I'm writing, I like classical on in the background, especially Tchaikovsky. No music compares to classical, it's by far the most beautiful, in my humble opinion. I went to see an orchestra in Leeds town hall a few months back and that was fucking awesome, by far and away the single best 'gig' I've ever been to.

Another favourite type of music of mine, which is breakbeat (Example of breakbeat, as usually when I say it, people say 'what's that?'), is (of course) entirely due to video games. Wipeout and SSX Tricky had a huge impact on the type of music I listen to, and consequently when I go out clubbing it's always to breaks, eg Stanton Warriors - things like this are my kinda night:

Stanton Warriors

Dirty, sweaty pits full of gurning fuckwits being bombarded with filthy, deafening bass until 6am. Love it. But not every week; I'd be dead if it was.

Those are my two most listened to types of music, and I like pretty much everything in between, hurray for music. The one thing I hate about music is CWAGS, that is C***ts With A Guitar, you know, those damn hippies that, as soon as the sun shines in spring, bring their little acoustic guitar with them wherever they go and insist that everyone within earshot listen to them play it, especially in parks. They really piss me off.

I listen to practically everything on that list! :D I saw ADTR in concert last year, along with We Came As Romans and TDWP! Ever heard of August Burns Red? They're pretty great as well!

Seriously, I love every band on that list! :D

I play mainly drums, but play guitar and piano as well! I also played flute for a little bit! :bag: I REALLY want to learn how to play the violin!

My band of the moment - Rolo Tomassi. UK based female-fronted insane synth-based tech-metal. Yum.

I have SUCH an issue with Biffy Clyro, btw ;)

Ooooh a mathcore band. I've always found that style to be intriguing.

And holy crap, she's probably the only woman I know who can do that :eek:

I'd like to punch Lars Ulrich in the face.

But I do enjoy James Hetfield's vocal stylings. It's fun to add "HYEAH-YEAH!" to the end of things that don't warrant it.

I will also be waving my modstick on this and merging it with the main music thread when I have a minute ;)
