Hah, I like this thread, for much of my youth, I wasn't much interested in music either, just listened to radio now and then.
By now I know a bit more but I'm not a music enthusiast by far.
I also like dance music and music that makes me happy most of the time, unfortunately all three videos you posted are not available in my country...
I can however tell you that I recently thought about buying that last song, it's quite good IMO.
David Guetta makes a lot of music I like, let me give you another example:

oh god.......... what is this euromusic thread. gotta americanfy this.
A real man listens to a healthy mix of rock, rap, symphony and girly songs.
I have lifting lists pump up lists sleeping lists euphoric lists pissed off lists, etc.
i like music.
Brave Centurion...I recall you mentioned that you played football in HS. Did you have a 'pump-up song' that was played before every game? Our senior class captians would always pick such a song that would be played in the locker room before every game on Saturday morning. Wondering if your team did the same. My junior year they played some House of Pain song and my Senior year was Stone Temple Pilots. The latter was a little melancholic though. Probably why we had a 5-5 record at the end of the season!! Just curious.
Back to topic...I am into the Smiths lately, that alternativy British interpretativism really catches my fancy!! I often ask affections to scratch my name on their arm with a ball point pen...if of course, the are vain and they are funny!!!

70's rock and 80's metal.

Morrissey and Marr are gods among insects, they really are... <3
Insects will be around long after 'humans' are gone...My faith in Morrissey is still devooouuuut!!!
edit: I have no idea who marr is...but he is probably someone who you secretly admire but are very afraid to admit it!!!

Johnny Marr is a guitarist... alongside Morrissey he wrote the music for, and played in, The Smiths themselves! xD
I don't admire him per se, but he's a talented musician. :3
I was never one to be impressed by myself for knowing all the members in the band. The Smiths are cooler than the sun and air, their music provokes the brilliance of nothing in particular.

Ah dear nerd you don't even know what you just started in me.
As a captain myself I got to choose songs in lockeroom our tunnel song and for breaking a linebacker sack record my own sack record
For pre game locker room
I choose among others
Disturbed indestructible
Hollywood undead, undead
Saliva ladies and gentlemen
Eminem till I collapse
Three days grace riot
For tunnel and game entrance
Pod boom
Atreyu you were the king now your unconscious
And of course last of the mohicans theme
For my sack song
Fort minor, remember the name
Ooooooh rah
Very impressive! Brings back fond memories. I was just an anonomyus grunt on the line, no glory for me.
As my music collection is upwards of 6000 songs, it is quite difficult to nail down what exactly I like. However, this is my favourite song recently (off an absolutely brilliant album [Every Day] by the Cinematic Orchestra):

I mostly like Indie, Rock, Jazz, Funk, R&B, Soul, some Rap, Electronica.... Hell I like almost anything as long as it isn't too Poppy. :yes:

Our coach was a linemen they got lotsa love from us
Big difference between the lineman with his face in the mud and the glory back. Nice to see the RB make it thru a nice hole you created though. A definate ooh rah moment indeed.

dline gets glory though
Played that too. Never seemed to run up my side...ha ha. Decent pass rush, always seemed to get the ball off before I reached the QB. I was constantly double teamed. Don't want to brag, I had my bad games too. Confidence would occasionally leave me at the worst possible times. Still fun to remince about my idealized football stories!

Lol they are memories to be treasured wait until strike starts about you know how texans are about football
Yeah, I hear it's a very football oriented state. Talented, competative HS and a lot of good college teams there as well.

I played a little pee wee when my dad was in corpus christi so yeahhhhh its ridiculous
My division in HS was 6B, bottom of the barrel. We had Freshmen on our starting lineup. I can't relate with Texas football. Though I had the size and mabey the talent to play a higher division. Scrimaged division 4 teams and fared quite well.

Football? Just what kind of nerd are you?!
Black metal. For me, music has to be an artwork. Good music or no music at all.
Football? Just what kind of nerd are you?!
When it comes to football, I am not A Nerd, I am THE Nerd!!! The nerdliest nerd of all the nerdies!!!
Normally I usually listen to classic rock mostly. Sometimes some dance music when I'm tired but need to stay awake. Lately I'm getting very much into balkan music, I can't believe I've missed out on it for so long.
Some of the better balkan songs:
Mahala rai banda - Mahalageasca (known from the Borat movie)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuAxDGTtsw8
The great Goran Bregovic with probably his best song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jVc8coAUhc
habibi min zaman - balkan beat box (very chill song):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ef5U5xQPEyY
And to finish it a dubstep remix of a balkan song, deathcar by 16bit:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNRoJipbAOU
The Band.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trhrN39li1M
Brilliant music. It pretty much sums up everything I love to hear, be it folk music, Americana, country, blues, rockabilly, rock, elements of gospel and church music, and just to put it together in one neat little package. Acadian Driftwood (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=te7KW4K-00E), dealing with the deportation of the Acadians to Louisane, is one of the few songs that actually brought me to tears when I heard it for the first time. Up On Cripple Creek is not blues, it's not rock, it's not country; it's all of that and yet none of it. If you listen closely, there are elements of funk music in there as well. And then there's the mysterious case of "King Harvest". Fairly little people know about the influence The Band had on rock music, Levon Helm pretty much invented a new drumming technique, Garth Hudson was the first person to ever use a wah-wah pedal on a Hohner clavinet, and Eric Clapton saw them as one of his greatest examples. The famous song "Let It Be" by The Beatles was also influenced by The Band's pure sound.

I like most kinds of metal, especially the symphonic, progressive, and gothic varieties, but not so much black metal and thrash metal. Beyond that, I love neofolk, dream pop, and new age.
A few examples:
Lake of Tears - So Fell Autumn Rain (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiINg5Hd284)
Dredg - It Only Took a Day (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaNiK6q4-SY)
Riverside - Conceiving You (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peDCmsJB1AA)
Autumn's Grey Solace - Mystify (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6iX0jOZ3oo)
The Moon and the Nightspirit - Rögből élet (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiC4-LqV3wQ&feature=related)
I got more if you want 'em. :beam:

What's with all the women cupping their breasts?
Limited aviable videos on youtube.
One is a slightly exhibitionistic artist and the other is the album art. I could change the links if that's too inapropriate.
Over the past 12 months I've phased into and out of (and occasionally back into) the epic-ness of post-rock, the confusion of noise, and the dancey-ness of various experimental electronica. It's hard for me to describe exactly what it is I like in my music as it is constantly shifting to and fro. :sweatdrop:
If I think about it, the most common aspect is that it seems to be music that can let me escape, where I can lose myself in a soundscape of one form or another, where I can either forget about my troubles or celebrate the good by dancing creatively (re: rhythmically flailing) or sitting motionless, moving infinitesimally.
Anyway, as of late I can tell you simply: Neo-Classical
Ólafur Arnalds is great!! :pleased:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtnW3Oru3V8
and last, but definitely not least:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ic5LwRk6ejk
Anyone got the new Pendulum album?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gLkOfzIYcU
You have taste mate, epic chill out song. :bow:
The new pendulum album is worth buying too. The Chemical Brothers have released a new song called Swoon, and Bloc Party singer Kele Okereke has done a solo effort with 'Tenderoni', all 3 artists are dance inspired (or drum and bass in the first example).

Slightly related to the main topic, does anybody know an artist with simular music to this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyAnyqYmjdo
Game music obviously, so hard to expand a music search on it.
