Andrew Joseph Sandberg Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 If the music score is my biggest beef with an AS movie, it will be a joyous day indeed! As per my music tastes, there are the classics of course, but I have quite a few popular artists I like as well – such as Dave Mathews Band, Collective Soul, Bush, Tool, Garbage, and A Perfect Circle. I also like some of electronic, new-age, and techno artists out there, such as Daft Punk, Orbital, Enya, Bush, Steve Vai, and Joe Satriani. You actually listen to a band called Collective Soul(not to mention those other tribal disintegraters), and dare call yourself an Objectivist?

Bold Standard Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 You actually listen to a band called Collective Soul(not to mention those other tribal disintegraters), and dare call yourself an Objectivist? Collective Soul is a pretty offensive name. But, hey, even the Red Army Chorus had some good songs ("The Internationale," for example).

deathfromabove1979 Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 I think the best music around is: The Strokes - My favourite band, great music , great guitarists and good vocals. They also have very independant minds which you can see in this interview with yahoo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2FSbP_AsZg Kings of leon - best song is rememo which is on there album so I cant give you a link, and Four kicks which can be found here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MHNg8D_sHQ Mars volta - televators is amazing, with great lyrics Jeff buckley - so sad that he died at such a young age, best songs are forget her http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scYenpbyJI0 and Hallelujah which can only be found live http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xbY4WzcF_U The postal service - such a great band with great lyrics. If your a bit down just listen to this song Death cab - from the guy that did postal service, same style but with less electronica and more acoustic guitars. We are scientists - Funny and great band. Best song is textbook but thats in there album so ill just post one of there hits live and a funny interview Leonard cohen - very depressing but good nonetheless, best song is famous blue raincoat. Tenacious d - what can I say....... HAHAHA I hope its ok I put the links up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidV Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 (edited) You actually listen to a band called Collective Soul(not to mention those other tribal disintegraters), and dare call yourself an Objectivist? The name is out of The Fountainhead: The band's name comes from a term in part 4, chapter 11 of Ayn Rand's book The Fountainhead. The main character, Howard Roark, is talking with Gail Wynand about the emptiness of his profession owning a popular newspaper chain... how all the money he makes is by feeding the people exactly what they want instead of expressing his own independent beliefs or personality. Howard says: "Gail... I didn't think that you'd ever admit that to yourself.""Why not? I knew what I was doing. I wanted power over a collective soul and I got it. A collective soul. It's a messy kind of concept, but if anyone wants to visualize it concretely let him pick up a copy of the New York Banner [the newspaper Wynand owns]."

Styles2112 Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 The name is out of The Fountainhead: On the other hand, they are a, fundamentally, Christian band. (I have, pretty much, all their albums). I do like the music itself though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JASKN Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 I believe the best band at the moment is Interpol.Remembered this from a while ago. I'm thoroughly enjoying their latest album. They have a strange cold or lonely quality, without "fatalistic" undertones. It's a perfect mix of the lead singer's voice and their instrument choice and style.

TheEgoist Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 I think that I am one of the youngest here, as many of you are into classical, and things that a teenager such as myself has not had a chance to mature into until recently. Personally, as far as Classical goes, I like Beethoven, Brahms, Wagner and Chopin. And the immortal Bach, of course. But, I would be lying if I said that was what I listened to constantly. I am very much into Punk and Metal, as any young person is. Here is a list of bands and such I find to be exceptional, not just from the styles I mentioned. Bad Religion GWAR The Vandals Guttermouth Slayer MEtallica Johnny Cash All Three of the Hank Williams Queen Lamb of God Agent Orange Bloodhound Gang Dead Kennedys Minor THreat Black Flag Greg Graffin Tom Waits System of A Down Rage Against The Machine Screeching Weasel Old Blink 182 Sodom Dragonforce Combat 84 Better Dead Than Red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-RAD79 Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 I'm open to a lot of music genres. But my taste really lies with jazz, classical, and progressive metal. One of my favorite prog metal bands is Dream Theater. They have beautiful music. With jazz I like people like Coltrane, Miles Davis, Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington. etc. But I need to say I love the rat pack most of all. They just are great.

jcarey Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 (edited) I'm open to everything really. I am an avid listener of all music and my (rather large) collection of music reflects that. To elaborate on my favorite composers/musicians/bands, I would probably say that they would be: Classical: Franz Liszt Gustav Mahler Kaikhosru Shapurji Sorabji Ludwig Van Beethoven Maurice Ravel Nikolai Kapustin Richard Wagner Sergei Rachmaninoff Jazz: Art Tatum Count Basie Dave Brubeck Gordon Goodwin John Coltrane John Zorn Miles Davis Thelonious Monk Rock/Metal: Brand New Dream Theater Iron Maiden Meat Loaf Metallica Opeth Pink Floyd Queen Rush System of a Down The Who These are some of my favorites but there are a myriad of others whose music I enjoy. I also compose music myself, focusing most specifically on Neoromantic classical music. I was once told that I should change my name to Richard Halley and compose the Concerto of Deliverance.

Miles White Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 The music I listen to is typically composed of Jazz, Blues, and Americana, especially if it's got soul. I'm a sucker for anything thats got soul in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Radiaki Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Classic Country: Just about anything recorded prior to 1979 or so, Eddie Arnold, Merle Haggard, Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, etc., etc. The older and sadder, the better. Accoustic Blues: Something about electric instruments and blues just turns me off. Preferably recorded prior to 1940 or so, as they called it the Great Depression for a reason. Bluegrass: Something about fast banjos just gets to me. That high mountain sound, well shucks... Pop Music, 1920 to 1979, Inclusive: Not everything, but I'd put what I like as a majority, rather than a minority. Big band, swing, soul, doo-wop, girl groups, crooners, all that good stuff. Indie Pop/Rock: This is the more modern stuff, The Decemberists, Of Montreal, Get Him Eat Him, Tullycraft, Bishop Allen, The Apples in Stereo, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEgoist Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Lately I've become a sucker for Pop, Power Pop and surf-style music. Very good, positive and up-beat stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles White Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Lately I've become a sucker for Pop, Power Pop and surf-style music. Very good, positive and up-beat stuff. Might I recommend two great albums by The Beach Boys? Pet Sounds Holland Especially the tunes "Sail on Sailor" and "Trader" on the album Holland are some of my favorite songs of all time let alone the genre.

The Anthem Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Pretty much all types of rock, including soft, metal, grunge, black, speed, etc. My absolute favorite band is Alter Bridge. I encourage anyone who likes music to chekc out their two CDs, One Day Remains and Blackbird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Frank Zappa is the composer I admire most. I love all of his stuff, from the Jazz Fusion style he pioneered on Hot Rats, to the sonic experiments of Jazz From Hell to the blues and rock oriented stuff off of Apostrophe. I also enjoy Gustav Mahler, Fran Liszt (his stuff is so over the top and I love it), Tchaikovsky, Paganini and Vivaldi. I also like Stevie Wonder, Metallica (especially the stuff Cliff Burton wrote), prog metal like Dream Theater and Kamelot and Jazz like Weather Report.

Nyronus Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 I love all types of music (yes, even pop and rap), provided it is of a certain quality and can illicit in me a worthwhile response. I have to say my favorite genres over all are probably progressive rock and prog/opera metal. At least the kind that doesn't sound like incessant screaming. Doesn't mean I can't enjoy Beethoven's Ode to Joy or Mozart's Requiem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volco Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 (edited) Well I have to put Bach and Rachmaninoff at the head of a list I could never end, but would start with authors such as Händel Vivaldi Glück Musorsky Albeñiz, Stravinsky, Thelonious Monk, Pink Floyd (though it's sooooo malevolent in its every message!) The Smashing Pumpkins (early days) The first two albums of Garbage, Sonic Youth Beethoven Beck David Bowie and sooo many more, it really depends on the time of my life, for example when I was 8-10 I loved Verdi, Puccini and Opera in general as unlikely as it may sound. Of course I have to wrap it up with these two: BACH! RACHMANINOFF!!! Edited June 12, 2008 by volco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
