    Sounds good, you should continue with this open minded approach.

    Sonata Arctica and Nightwish are my two favs, everything else depends on what I'm in the mood for. Lately I've been liking Lady Gaga...

    Though I think I've seen The Killers as many times as I've seen Nightwish, so that must mean they're also one of my favs....

    My favorite band ever is the Barenaked Ladies. And I get to see them live for the first time in a couple of weeks! :D

    I love Shoebox, it's by the Barenaked Ladies, right?

    Falanca: sorry, they're not bare, naked or ladies.

    Yeah, Shoebox is one of their songs.

    And sorry dude, but they're fully-clothed men. :)

    I'm a sucker for 80's skate punk music:

    7 Seconds
    Dag Nasty
    Big Drill Car
    Agent Orange
    All
    Descendents

    Bands I totally dug when I was younger, but now I've gone soft (kinda).

    I feel like breaking tradition with these things and I'm going to post favourite bands I recommend

    She & Him - bringing back a 50's sensibility with some amazing female voc work and amazing guitar as well

    Basia Bulat - A brilliant female artist who brings a good chunk of soul into her work with a neat upbeat sense to the rhythm

    Meaghan Smith - Another bright young woman singer & song writer, has a nice touch of jazz and soul in her music, paired with more gentle and warming music.

    Talking Heads - I really recommend this for anyone who has just heard a few of their singles, and are in doubt about the rest of their repertoire. They've got a killer list of singles as well as their album stuff.

    Cuff the Duke - An amazing small time Canadian band who bring a really neat country-esque flavour but get some nice rock rhythm/melodies going.

    Jenny Lewis - Ever seen the 80's film, "The Wizard". Yeah, this is the girl from that film, and she's got an amazing voice and some of her work is phenomenal.

    Oscar Peterson Trio - If you've never heard of him, your parents probably have. The most amazing jazz pianist to date, and a good chunk of his songs are great to listen to at any occasion.

    Spinnerette - Brody Dalle from the Distillers, kicking ass in a new sound.

    Yann Tierson - The man made music from typewriters and found objects beautiful with French sensibilities. You must check him out.

    Michael Giacchino - Absolutely love the work he does for Pixar. Amazing film music composer.


    Wow, I can't believe I found 10.

    I don't listen to enough Barenaked Ladies, the only albums of there's I own is the greatest hits and the kids album Snacktime (for some reason) from what i've heard so far I dig most of their stuff but I have a particular soft spot for Brian Wilson :o

    Ah everyone has such varied taste...I'm slightly jealous. I can't enjoy music based on technical ability, in fact I'm more likely to like something if it sounds scrappy and unpolished.
  • edited May 2010
    My favorite music? Meditation, Alpha, Meta, theta waves...
    Concentration music

    I don't listen to music with words anymore.

    I listen to waves, brain wave music...

    Sonata Arctica

    I thought for a long time I was the only one :)

    Also surprised of how few likes metal :p
  • edited May 2010
    I think the best the Talking Heads ever came up with, beside of their super successful Little Creatures album was David Byrne's Soundtrack for True Stories. Also quite nice for softer music is Richard Ashcroft's (from The Verve) fiirst solo album Alone with Everybody. I'm surprised no one mentioned Pink Floyd or King Crimson already.

    That music is very peaceful. Sometimes I can't listen to my regular music, because they are too emotion stirring for me. (I tend to get very affected by music) so if I'm in a bad mood I'll feel worse. That's when I put on my little waterfall, flute, meditation music. :p

    Tenacious D
    Flight of The Conchords
    They Might Be Giants
    (Huh, that's three bands with only two guys that look like dorks)

    Oh, and Queen, but that goes without saying.

    I'm quite the casual music fan, I guess.

    I could go on listing all of my favourite bands, and the ones which I like the most at the moment, but I might as well just link to my Last.fm page.
