    What kind of music do you listen to to relax? To get your blood pumping? While you're studying? What's your favorite genre and/or artist? What genre or artist makes your eardrums bleed? Now's your chance to weigh in on this all-important issue!

    Most of my MP3 playlist is either video game music or remixes of video game music (www.vgmix.com, w00t), or classical. But there's a generous dash of assorted pop and techno, too. As embarrassing as it is, I've even got one disco track.

i listen to alot of different music
clasical  to relax
whatever's on the radio normaly
and zen when i play rogue spear (my kill count usally goes up by 1 or 2 per game)

    Zen? Vas ist das?

zen music, like zen buddist (mellow,slow, environmental,and about as anti action as you can get)
also, i like bodies by drowning pool for playing rs

    ::nod:: That's about what I figured. Very interesting. Is there any available for free that I could nab to have a listen to?

probably, read your instant messages loth

Well loth,
i listen to trance. as far as that goes, its  electronic music or techno.Your probly acustomed to the shit they play on the radio or MTV like, moby, chemical brothers, or darude. Trance is a great genre to relax to, or to pump you up (fast driving music).
a great website to check out if your interested is www.trance.nu

some good DJs are
Paul Oakenfold
Paul Van Dyk
Dj Tiesto
Dj ferry corsten
Gouryella
Mars and Mystre
Dj Johan geilen
Dj Stigma and
Sasha and john digweed

and its hard to download trance nowadays without Audiogalaxy, so if you want anything ask me cause i've got over 30gigs of mp3s

    Thanks, Jeb. : ) I'll definitely take you up on that offer.

    Actually, I can't stand poptechno like Moby. I've never heard a single track by him that I enjoyed or that didn't strike me as wholly unoriginal and boring. The kind of techno I enjoy is stuff like Golden Shower (www.goldenshower.gs). Their songs are available for free from their site, and they've got a couple of cool animated music videos, too. The music is done by a guy from Brazil who uses a Mac. : ) I recommend "New York Groove", "Sonido Electronico", and "Video Computer System". The latter track is composed entirely of samples from an Atari 2600. It's an enjoyable piece, too.

    Anyhow, I tend to prefer more "musical" techno over stuff like "dance" where there's little more than a beat. The more complicated and layered the music, the more I enjoy it. It's the same reason that I enjoy classical so much. That reminds me. Hit www.vgmix.com and search for songs by a guy who calls himself Void. He remixes tracks from really obscure old Japanese games that nobody's ever heard of. Virtually every remix he's done is just gorgeous. Give 'em a listen. : )

I saw Paul Oakenfold live, and he was awesome.  Of course, so was the artist right before him... Eminem!

And Lothario... be careful when you start spouting things like "ejo is the devil."  There are certain things that are sacred among my cohorts and me, and that is one of them...

::glares with much menace::

AFI IS THE GREATEST BAND ALIVE!!! EVER!!! Yeah, besides AFI ruling all that is music, basically any kind of rock will do: punk,classic, alternative, metal, you name it.

PS - COUNTRY AND RAP ARE TEH DEVIL!

My favorites are
Garbage
NSYNC
Spice Girls
Cats Soundtrack
Jars of Clay
No Doubt
The Beatles

You like dick, don't you?

I gotta chime in here too. I ussually play 1812 overture when playing RS or maybe some Wagner. My favorite band of all time would have to be Godsmack. Some other favorites are Hendrix Kiss Red hot Chile Peppers. I also like love Nsync they are like so cool oh my god. Of coarse I jk. Heheh I hope they burn in hell. Brittiny Spears is ok, but what does her music sound like?

AFI is great, but I don't hold them as high as Nirvana was or Pennywise is now...for those who dont know, Pennywise is an awesome punk band located in my hometown (hermosa beach, CA)

I too like the above listed music that Ace posted



oh God, LMAO.

LoL how random and uncalled for.

I don't like how music has to be the thing that shapes who you are as a person. ?If you listen to some rap and you're white all the stupid people who are obsessed with rock make fun of you and call you a wigger and shit. ?That is bullshit. ?It's just a type of music. ?If you only listen to hard rock all the black people and white people that don't like it will make fun of you for that. ?It's also like if you listen to rap you have to wear headbands and if you listen to rock you have to wear baggy jeans and dress dark. ?That is bullshit and I don't like it. ?It's just music and I like a little of everything.

You definitely cannot go wrong with Pennywise or Nirvana. However, have you ever seen AFI live? That's what got me hooked on them in the first place. They are by far the best band I have ever seen live. Speaking of live shows, STP and The Living End are also excellent live. Pennywise was very good live, just a very small, small notch below the two I mentioned. Unfortunately I was really too young to ever see Nirvana live; I bet they kicked ass.

Infection, that was not random and uncalled for. For fuck's sake, how PC is our world where you can't rip on people for liking N 'Sync and the Spice Girls. I don't care what ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation you are, if you like shit like pop, country, or rap, I will make many jokes at your expense. It's like the old saying: "I'm don't discriminate, I hate everyone."

PS - You are the one who stereotyped black people as only listening to rap and the majority of whites listening to rock.

 I think Bondo may have been kidding about that. ?I was laughing at you anyway Ace I found it funny, I didn't think you were being that serious or you were taking Bondo seriously. ?But you have no right to make fun of people for likeing rap or country. ?Go ahead and curse at them like you've just done but don't make fun of them.  Are you not saying that steryotype is mainly true though?  I mean as for majorities most Black people only like rap.  White like several things.  I'm just saying how it happens and people make fun of you for different reasons.  That's unfair that people who like rap can't be friends with someone who likes rock.  Wouldn't you agree with that?

Hell, it was fine for Ace to do his joke, I mean, I use the name Flamin' Bisexual in GR often, I'm asking for it and Ace was joking, he wasn't really using it as an insult (which I'd just find unacceptable and stuff).

On the other hand Cossack crossed the line much saying NSYNC should burn in hell, that is just wrong. ?Despite what you might think, some of the members of NSYNC and some of the members of the Spice Girls actually have talent and write their own songs. ?If you want to criticize a group do so to the talentless Backstreet Boys whose music truly does suck.

And no Infection, I was in no way kidding, I truly listen to and enjoy NSYNC and the others.

Actually Infection he seriously likes those bands unfortunately. I have plenty of right to make fun of people who like those types of music. Why? Because I like rock, and rock is better. Duh.

Ok, here we go...
For NSYNC I have
NSYNC
No Strings Attached
Celebrity
Madison Square Gardens DVD

For Spice Girls I have
Spice
Spiceworld
Goodbye
Forever
Mel C's solo album Northern Star
Emma's solo album
Spice World the movie on VHS and DVD

For Andrew Lloyd Webber I have
Cats two disc CD and DVD
Jesus Christ Superstar two disc CD and DVD

To add one, Boys II men
Both versions of CooleyHighHarmony
Both normal and remix of II
Evolution
Their forth CD

Speaking of which, I like Moulin Rogue a lot and have that on DVD...didn't get the soundtrack though *cough Limewire cough*

I won't go into the others because they are actually respectable I figure.

I wrote my response while Bondo wrote his. While NSync should not burn in Hell hell, they definitely should burn in bad music hell. They have no talent. To believe otherwise is to believe that there is a reason to listen to Britney Spears videos rather than watching them on mute. BTW, I meant everything I said earlier seriously.

On a totally different note, FUCKING GODDAMN SON OF A FUCKING SON OF A BITCH!!! I JUST FOUND OUT AFI WILL BE PLAYING THEIR ONLY DATE OF WARPED TOUR IN FUCKING LA ON FUCKING THURSDAY WHEN I'M FUCKING WORKING AND THIS FUCKING BLOWS ASS. I must find a way to get down to LA. I almost don't care if I lose my job, but I want to go see AFI sooooooooooooooooooo bad.

Ace, don't be jelous of NSYNC just because you can't sing as high as they (and I) can.  Also, they do write most of their songs (remember, I know much more about them then you do) so don't slight their talent.

I have a 10 year old brother who likes N'sync, and he also plays nintendo...
scary ain't it bondo  ;D
and loth, i know what you mean about shitty moby songs, i wouldn't call all trance "dance music" however you can dance to it. I guess i'm thinking of club music, with alot of female vocals, but yeah, just pm me on aim sometime, and i'll hook you up with the good shit

Well, I would say that I think I'd like your brother but that would likely be borderline illegal ;)

hmmm RS playing music would have to be Fu Manchu, Bongzilla or Zerocharisma...all these bands have mp3s available for download at www.stonerrock.com and there are many more bands on that site...

for relaxing I put in some classical or a bit of loungy music...

I also love good electronica..

I dont like anything that you could hear on a radio station, cept for college radio...even there its iffy...

BOWIE IS GOD!!!

you will NEVER find me listening to rap or any of that bellyaching r&b and definately no country!!!

haha bondo,
Trance music is good for long games of sniper wars, or camping matches.

Basically, I'm an all-rounder. I listen to all kinds of music varying from classical to rap. (More rap than classical, but you get the point...).

Just to quote an example, you guys ever heard of Incubus? Take a wild guess.

Anyhow, to tell you the truth, I never even had a single clue they existed until I heard one of their songs; namely 'drive'... it's my favorite song among others.

You see, it's not the people in the band we're after... it's the music itself. That's basically it.

-Beefy, tired.

yea, same here beefy
only differeence is that i refuse to listen to rap.

I listen to Rock to do almost everything.  Hard exciting rock for rogue spear. But if i want to get relaxed i'll listen to jazz or a band like radiohead.

Bondo, what the fuck are you talking about.  Yeah they can sing who the fuck cares.  They write their own songs, BUT THEY ARE HORRIBLE AND ALL THE SAME.  My ass could right better.  They are designed to make money and that is their only purpose.  Liking them is only further promoting pop culture and shitty music.

i wonder how nany times bondo has been kicked in the nuts in order to sing that high.

hmm, seems i'm very odd, i was (*cries*) a fan of the Smashing Pumpkins.
I still listen to very much different music, the only things i cant stand are Techno/trance/dance, and popular pop (britney spears, etc.)
the bands i like (among others, not exclusively, and alphabetically):
Black Rebel Motorcycle club, Blur, Eminem, Faithless, Guns 'n Roses, Korn, K's Choice, Lenny Kravitz, Limp Bizkit, Manu Chao, Metallica, Moby ?(;D), ?Muse, Nine Inch Nails, Nirvana, Queen, REM, Radiohead, Rammstein (currently fan), Red Hot Chili Peppers, Smashing Pumpkins, Soulfly, System of a Down, The bloodhound gang, the Cranberries, The Offspring, Weird al Yankovic.

theres more, and there are several tracks of artists i dont usually like, that sound good. But i might make my post too long ?:o

Well, normally I'd figure I'd be mocked for my "old man" musical taste... but since Bondo has already come out of the closet, so to speak... I guess it's safe.  (BTW, Bondo also goes to mens figure skating competitions....).

Anyway....  When I study, classical.  

Best CD for long trips in the car...... Soundtrack to Conan the Barbarian.  Hands down.  But not on the freeway... back roads with corners.... trust me.  For the freeway it's usually books on CD for me.


Let's see what's in my CD case.... Lots of Barenaked Ladies.... everything ever put out by Toad the Wet Sprocket.....  Sarah McLachlan....  Live.... REM.... Counting Crows.... Peter Gabreal.... Queen... Madness.... Mighty Mighty Bosstones.... The Waltons.... The English Beat (yes, I like Ska)... Sublime.... Leonard Cohen.... oh... and some new age classical stuff by Christopher Franke (he was in Tangarine Dream and also did the soundtracks for Babylon 5).

For RS... any Ska will do.  It moves fast and gives me a beat.

For chilling on the back deck... anything from Toad to James Taylor... just mellow stuff.

Jezus f'ing Christ! I think I've never seen so many suspension marks in a post before. That's gotta be something special, Grift. Surely it is. Notice I'm not being sarcastic at all (it's hard to tell over the Net, so I might just be lying.).

-Beefy, screwball #1.

 Wow all this posting when I was asleep....I definately apologize Ace...I can't seem to understand liking N'Sync...but to each his own.....

I've always liked ... over ;

even though I do know the proper use of both... to each his own style.

You'll also notice that I don't pick on Brain for his typing skills or too many others of you out there for your spelling or grammar. ?Mine's nowhere near perfect.

BTW, my current favorite song... Superman Song by Crash Test Dummies.  Mellow, but it fits in with my world view....?

my poor posts and rampant mispellings are a result of  2 things: not  caring and typing to fast

    Hehe. Hey now, I've got some history with that sentence, too. When I was first starting out in RS on GR, ejo came in to a game and people started yelling that. Scared the living shit out of me, hearing these people who were so much better than me saying that. Besides, ejo and I have put enough bullets into each other by now that I tend to think I'm allowed to use his catchphrase. ; )

    Sorry, I must not have been clear. I like trance just fine, and I know the difference between trance and dance. : ) I was saying that I don't like dance music, shit with just a beat with a few notes over it.

    w00t, Queen and the Barenaked Ladies. Ahh, musical ability. It makes a band so... musical. I like ska, too. Bosstones (their older stuff) and Reel Big Fish (their older stuff) and the Aquabats ('cause I really enjoy songs about midget pirates).

    I don't particularly care for N'Sync (or 99% of pop, for that matter), but I have heard them sing and I know that they have great skill.

I don't see what your point about the figure skating is ;). ?I did get my picture taken with Sasha Cohen and Sarah Hughes so booyah (Timothy Goebel snubbed me though).

Brain, it doesn't take getting kicked in the nads at all. ?You just have to sing high when you can as a kid and continue to and you keep the high range. ?I can sing lower as well and don't have a high pitched voice, I just have good vocal range.

btw, three words: double posting whores
hit the modify button.

Let's see. Bondo A) watches figure skating B) likes 'N Sync and C) is extremely liberal. It doesn't take genius math to see what that adds up to. I bet you are looking into a career as an interior decorator or a fashion designer, heh.

Whoever mentioned Incubus as a good band, you must make a clarification. There are actually two bands called Incubus. The first band called Incubus made great albums. Then they became sold out whores who in no way resembled the original band, thus the Incubus that most people know today.

Actually, if I find a woman (because in the end I want to marry a woman) who can be the bread winner I would prefer to be a house husband (with a bit of freelance writing on the side). ?Otherwise I am either looking to be a entertainment jounalist (more specifically video games) or work in my Major/Minor of Geography and Environmental Science/Energy Science.

I'm into the oldies of course: Simon and Garfunkel, the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Steppenwolf, the Doors, CCR, Lynyrd Skynyrd, ABBA, Rod Stewert

The newer classics (of course again): Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins, Counting Crows, Sublime, Metallica, R.E.M.

But recently i have found something NEW! and DIFFERENT!, sort of.  Pop Punk, essentially.
The Ataris, New Found Glory(best live band I've seen), Saves the day, the get Up Kids, Good Charlotte, Millencolin, the Movielife, Piebald.
Good Stuff that.

And Lothario:  Those people yelling at that player were, without a doubt, jn.blackhand, jn.preciousroy, and/or jn.wrath.  I am truly proud to have influenced way back when.  You know the three of us have shirts with that phrase plastered on the front, complete with home-drawn devil icon?

    You seriously have shirts? That may be the coolest thing I've heard in weeks. Hahahah, that kicks ass. : )

Just to clarify Ace... that was the Incubus I was talking of, but I never mentioned they were a good band. You see, you missed my point. Go back to page two of this thread. My post should be the seventh on the page.

Happy searching, 8)

-Beefy.

Yes Roy, the old classics are still good.  Beatles will always be one of my favorite bands.  Doors, Who, Guess Who, Simon and Garfunkel all work too.  ABBA though... boarders on too much Disco.  

And I feel snubbed for my small part in the T-Shirt gifts. <jk> (ok, so any of you could have gotten Wrath's home address) But yes Loth, they actually made those shirts.

On the Ska side, I also like Tom Collins and the Cocktail Shakers.... "who stole my chuck taylors" is a fine example of classic Ska!
