Was wondering what type of music you all listen to? I can listen to pretty much anything, with the exception of country (YUCK), rap, opera, 50's. I listen to alternative. I like Creed, U2, Matchbox 20, some music by Fuel, Garbage, Sugar Ray (cutie), some music by Linkin Park, to name a few. But, I listen to anything that is on the radio.

Oooo don't get me started!!! I love U2, Matchbox20, Gabage and I like Linkin Park too - though I have to be in the mood for them!!! I LOVE bands like Travis, Coldplay, Radiohead (I know i know...lots of people hate them..ha ha) and one of my all time FAVES is ALANIS MORISSETTE!!!!! Wooohoooooo I saw her in concert and she was AMAZING!!!! I love singing along at the top of my voice to all her songs!! I also like Bryan Adams, and a band called Rootjuice (anyone heard of 'em?!!) Reef...Chris Isaak....Grant Lee Buffalo (NOT country...kinda alternative) ...oooo I could go on forever!!! I have to say though, that I DESPISE most girl/boy bands!! for example....Steps....SClub7.....Backstreet boys....Nsync....etc etc etc...
BUT, my all time HATE HATE HATE is.....Gerri Halliwell!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOO turn it off turn it OFF!!!!

Anyone else a Nine Inch nails fan?? I like Linkin Park, Nickelback, Powerman 5000,Crazytown,Finger Eleven,Econoline Crush, Blink 182 (especially the song 'What's my age again') and Insane Clown Posse (you have to be in an odd mood for them :disturbed )I'll listen to Marilyn Manson on occasion as well, but NIN is my absolute fave. Trent Reznor, what a hottie


Bodlover- who ever told Geri Halliwell she could sing???? Apparently when she was with the Spice Girls, they drowned her out in order to sound okay
And I totally agree with the Boy Bands dislike. They are all carbon copies of each other. But, ya know, I'd rather listen to the boy bands than Country

Ooo ooo I forgot!! I love Crazytown (butterfly is THE best song!!) and I love Blink 182!! Apart from the fact G.H totally sucks (in my opinion only - sorry if anyones a fan out there!!) it really bugs me how she had to get "thin and get naked" to sell her songs!! Ever notice how no-one liked her when she was still podgey?!! But now...now....shes anorexically thin and never fully clothed....everyone loves her!!! Arrrrrrgggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! (what a slapper!!)Sorry about that... I do get carried away!!!

The old comments on Genesis and Yes pertained to age of material...preference to early work in the light of newer offerings. I'm only 35, but I work with a couple of twenty-somethings that are stunned that I have a collection of 200+ VINYL albums. These poor kids don't even own a turntable.


There should be a career/term limit even for successful bands careers to keep them from continually reforming and putting out material that can't hold a candle to previous work.

Just my thoughts...

STOP DISSING COUNTRY MUSIC! I mean the older stuff is hurting, but the new country (Faith Hill, Dixie Chicks, Sh'Daisy) is great. I also like Sugar Ray, Charlotte Church, Andre Bachelli, Abba, Great Big Sea(Canadian), Bare Naked Ladies (Canadian), Alicia Keyes, Smashing Pumkins, Smash Mouth. You name & I'll try it at least once, but please no gangsta rap!

I like some of NIN music, Melissa. Blink 182 is a good band, too. I like the new one (can't think of the name, but part of it goes "... so here's your holiday .... your anger hurts my ears...been 7 years going strong") I like the song by Lifehouse (Hanging by a Moment). I do like the song, "Breathe" by Faith Hill.... pretty song.

By the way, I also like "Destiny's child" and Sugarbabes, though I have to say I thought both their albums were pretty crappy..... hmmm...now who else.....Counting Crows....Nirvana...(How could I forget Nirvana?!!!!! My fave is their Unplugged album...soooo chilled...) Bare Naked ladies (its been one week since you looked at me.....
) and one of my all time faves..... The Levellers!!! Oh yes... I always have trouble controlling myself at their concerts!! ha ha ha...I think my hubby nearly died of embarassment when he came with me for the first time!! ha ha ha ha h.... I don't care where I am - I'll "mosh" by myself if I have to!!! ha ha

I was a New Kids on The Block fan in my teens. I listen to mostly latino music but I will listen to anything but stuff from the 40's, heavy metal, and elevator music. I go through phases. A few weeks ago, I was listening to new age and new jazz music. Right now, I am into country and I love that stuff.

okay, here's my weird combination: I LOVE hardcore (no, not Korn - that's not not not hardcore; I like stuff like dying fetus & chokehold) and oldies - but my favorite band is none of those, which is modest mouse! ohhhh yeah.

I love NIN too!

I am more into electronica, Industrial mainly: NIN, KMFDM, Frontline Assembly, Ministry, Velvet Acid Christ, Cubanate, Revolting *****, Funker Voght, Project Pitchfork, Stabbing Westward, and love other electronica such as VNV Nation, DJ Teisto, Crystal Method...

Not really into Alterna-pop like Matchbox 20 and other similar bands, but I like Garbage, and a few songs like Staind's "Been Awhile", The Calling "Wherever you may go", Train's "Drops of Jupiter"

I also like Classic Rock

Really there's a song or two at least in every genre that I like.


NIN is probably my all time fave. I own all the Halos. I don't own all the albums for any other musicians.

Illusion- Do you own the video Halos too? A friend of mine owns all of them,including one signed by Trent, not sure which one it is, the lucky sh*t. I'm working on getting them all! I really like the new song done for the Tomb Raider soundtrack 'Deep'. I like the Closer to God CD with all the different verions of Closer, especially the first one 'Deviation'. Of course, I have to be careful what company I'm in when I listen to that! It tends to shock people
Do you listen to Manson at all? I've gotta be in the mood for him.

I think there's only the Closure video set, but I haven't bought any music in awhile. I shouldn't actually say I own all the halos, because I own them all up to Things Falling Apart, which I don't own. I also own the UK imports of March of the Pigs and Closer single sets, which aren't labelled as Halos, but they are halos and have the same songs as the US versions. I also have the bootleg Rusty Nails 1 and 2, and at one time owned the Broken movie (bootleg). I'll have to go download the song Deep now
I'll also upload a couple of sessy Trent pictures and post in a sec


I like Manson OK, but don't listen to him much anymore. the last CD I bought by him was Mechanical Animals and quite frankly, it put me to sleep. Antichrist Superstar had to be his greatest album, but I have yet to hear Holy Wood.
