I was once asked for my desert island 10. If I were stranded on a desert island, which 10 albums would get me through the rest of my life.

While my taste in music is extremely broad, my answer to the question was and is "Any 10 Baden Powell albums." No, not Baden Powell the founder of the Boyscouts, but the Brazilian guitarist and singer who blended Brazilian folk rhythms, the samba tradition, mainstream jazz, blues, flamenco, and classical guitar into what I believe is the most listenable music anywhere.

BUT, like I said, my musical taste is broad and can encompass NIN, country punk, punk, classical, Ministry, electronica, Dimmu Borgir, Shania Twain. I could go on, but you get the idea.

Hi everyone!

I've got eclectic tastes in music...

Mainly : Dead Can Dance, Lisa Gerrard solo & Brendan Perry solo, Arcana, Midnight Syndicate, Nox Arcana, Conjure One, Bryan Ferry.

Some Dark Wave/Ambient/Dark Ambient like : Amethystium,  Inade, Sysyphe, Ordo Funebris, Irfan,   David Parsons, Sephiroth, Desiderii Marginis & Dahlia's Tear.  Also some Meditative Music like : Rasa & Rajna.

Some Rock like Pink Floyd & Evanescence. Some Dance, Pop & Techno. Lots of 80's music & also some oldies like The Chordettes.   A few Movie Soundtracks like Blade Runner (Vangelis), Rio (Various), Cat People (Giorgio Moroder), Legend (Tangerine Dream) & even some typical Halloween Haunt music (any time of the year, that is.)

I don't listen to Country or western or Heavy Metal/ Hard Rock/Punk  exept maybe for a few hits by Marylin Manson.

And that was just some of it.

Ska, reggae, and punk rock (especially Bad Religion). I listen to some other stuff too, but those are my favorites. I enjoy some classical, and cannot stand country.

Personally, I prefer more avant-garde and abstract/experimental music. I lean more towards these genres typically because, as a musician, I can appreciate the free aspect and intellect that goes into creating this type of art. Some artists that I listen to are not as "weird" as others, so to speak, but I do enjoy and appreciate an artist that can express something musically that might not make as much sense to others, I suppose. In short, modern-day radio tunes are not something of which I find myself taking as seriously as perhaps an album or musician that contains examples of music without a certain boundary. For example, I find it hard to take auto-tuned music as seriously as something in the same spectrum as maybe John McLaughlin or Miles Davis. That is all!

I too think musicians learn along the way to appreciate music differently, somewhat analogous to how painters learn along the way to appreciate paintings differently, people who draw learn themselves to look differently or more sharply at certain details and so forth. So talking about differently, what do you think of Charlemagne Palestine?

I listen to all kinds of music but hiphop is probably my favorite genre. I really like Greydon Square (a atheist rapper), here's a few of his songs.

I listen to pretty much everything, not to sound like "that guy".
My main genre is classic rock: The Beatles, Queen, The Who, etc.
I also love "hipster" music like Mumford and Sons, Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes, and the like.
I listen to a bit of country, jazz, swing, blues, classical...pretty much everything except rap and hip hop.

I am attuned to odd time-signatures, heavily syncopated rhythms, progressive styling, etc. I prefer music without the human voice. Most varieties of progressive rock/metal or post-rock/metal. Most varieties of classical music. Most exceptions to these are the cream of the crop of the many bands listened to throughout my stages of growing up, as well as a lot of classic and psychedelic rock.

I think Queen is the best rock band of all time =)

I listen to almost anything besides rap and country. Lately, I've been listening to a lot of showtunes, mostly music from Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables. Over the summer, I started to enjoy listening to "mellow" music by artists like Adele and Michael Buble, and within the last week or so, I started listening to Florence and the Machine. I've also started to relive my childhood by listening to Disney music (The Lion King is the main one.) :)

I like instrumental music too. As an artist, I find instrumental stuff to be the most relaxing and helps me focus. I adore listening to soundtracks, and my absolute favorite is the How to Train your Dragon soundtrack... I draw a lot of dragons, so the music is very fitting, lol.
