    What Bands and Type of music do you like?

    I like anything as long as it aint Pop music, i especially love Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Greenday, Blink 182 and The eagles

    but i cant Hide it any longer

    I'm a Metallica Freak!!!!!!

    I just love them
    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.
    I have become comfortably numb...

    I dont know man, I would say Blink182 and Greenday were Pop...

    Anyway, I like Radiohead, Floyd, The Beatles, Air, Blur, Dylan, Daft Punk, Bowie, Elliot Smith, The Prodigy, Lemon Jelly, Neil Young, Paul SImon (and Art Garfunkel), Pixies, and many more.

    This would be a good thread to make a poll on what are the type of musics more listened. Anyway this are mine:
    -Blind Guardian, Nightwish, Dream Theater, Sonata Arctica, Rata Blanca (well pretty much all that is progresive, symphonic and power metal apeals to me except for ******* Rhapsody and other recent commercial bands ). Also Queen and some classical. But i like some other bands that don't fit the category, except for pop and other kind of country music of the zone.

    I don't really see what people have against Greenday myself. Its all right if you like that sort of thing.

    For me, basically, metal. The last album I bought was Hammerfall's latest offering, very good. Not that into thrash/death metal, I've got some stuff by, say Ragnarok or Cradle of Filth, but its good riffs ruined by some talentless moron screaming on top of it IMHO. They should release instrumental albums.

    Some goth is OK, eg Sisters of Mercy.

    In more reflective moments, anything with good guitars. Hendrix, Joe Satriani, that sort of stuff.

    Modern music is rubbish.

    Give me some Iron Maiden, Metallica, Guns 'n' Roses, Stone Temple Pilots...

    I wish someone would strangle these 17 year old bleached blonde pretty boys who pretend to know how to play instruments or be rock n roll. When was the last time McFly smashed up a hotel room? It's always priceless when these plastic package groups get bottled off the stage at festivals, especially when the bottles are full of yellow water. 50 cent springs to mind...

    Velvet Revolver are the best new band, because they are made up of older good band members.

    Bravery is to be terrified as hell;
    But to hold the line anyway.

    French electronica, like air and daft punk (as popular examples)
    prog rock (liquid tension, mogwai, the mars volta?, the tea party)
    Rock (tool, a perfect circle, melvins, at the drive in. alot of the classics too, like pink floyd, led zeppelin, dire straits...)
    Grunge (soundgarden, pearl jam, placebo?, smashing pumpkins, something for kate,)
    i absolutely hate rap, with such a passion thats it hurts.
    thanks,

    Nice list Big_John.
    Ah, Green Day and the like. Hardly punk anymore, at best it's pretty standard rock with mediocre instrumentals. Still, my sister loves it and I must admit that when going along with my sister and some of her friends (to keep an eye on them, so paid by parents ) to Green Day it was sorta fun in a big teenage mosh kind of way.
