Strange song, Neheroth! But not in the bad way; I've never heard anything like it before :) I'm unsure I can form a solid opinion.

Listening to something more light weighted, a german folk-ish song.. It's not my mother language but they make it sound so nice!

Faun - Walpurisnacht

I enjoy all sorts of music but punk is my favorite. I used to play drums in a punk band and still enjoy jamming here and there with my friends. I have been re-living my youth a bit and listening to the old punk-o-rama albums.

One song that sticks out is - strangled by osker

Currently: North Country Blues by Bob Dylan.

I have music on all the time, particular favourites are blues, classic rock, country and soundtracks :) Also love some club stuff for nostalgia...

Im like Rinn I constantly have music playing, anything goes but I swing heavily towards metal and rock. At the moment depending on the day Im having its either 'We are Harlot', 'Machine Head, 'The Defiled' or 'Skindred'.

its very 'cradle of filth' like to me, if you haven't heard them check them out. Not my kind of thing but I think you might like them.

Sorry for making you rant :(

I guess as a person that doesnt listen to a lot of balck metal that it is easy to lump some bands together, that if you listen to a lot actually sound a nothing a like to a more trained ear.

Quite like Discharge though.

Omg well when I'm studying I've tried classical but the violins don't work out for me especially when it all of a sudden gets loud so now I listen to the blues channel on apple music and just what ever the play is cool.
When I want to partay I listen to kpop, hiphop, r&b, dancehall, reggaeton etc.

My favorite album right now is Press it by Taemin the whole album is great but I specifically like "Already"

Not a problem, I have been there too.

One question I find interesting is can you pin down a favourite song ever? Just one. Irrelevant of moods and situations? It stumps people more than favourite film or book.

If I had to pin down one mine would be

I def couldn't pin down a favorite song. a favorite band or album, yes, but a favorite song? not a chance. i also don't think my favorite song would necessarily be BY my fav band...

anyone else been listening to hamilton non-stop (ha!) since it came out? anyone? just me? ok.

(no but, seriously, if you like musicals and/or history and haven't yet experienced hamilton, get thee to youtube straightaway)

Aren't SFF geeks supposed to be all into death metal, and stuff?

*looks at Grateful Dead, standup comedy, and jazz albums on own google music recently played*

Haha, I used to listen to NOTHING but heavy metal when I was in my late teens. Now I listen to anything but, mostly because I associate that music with my embarrassing teenage years...

Neheroth, my husband and I are into black metal. We just saw Taake a few weeks back. I know he would love to see Sigh live.

My current listening mood has been King Diamond. We saw recently as well on his Abigail tour.

Though I have to point out that I don't listen to music while I read. For some reason that has never gone hand-in-hand for me. I'm happy to discuss heavy metal at any time though. :)

I also used to listen to a lot of metal/hard rock (not so much death metal but it depends on bands), and I still enjoy the old stuff from time to time, but not as much. I've moved more into alternative rock, I think is how I'd best define it, and I'm almost always playing music. The XX, Florence and The Machine, Mumford and Sons, Ben Howard...

Though my favorite will always be the Foo Fighters, favorite song has to be Everlong.

I usually stick to New Age instrumental music and some soundtracks and classical music. I'm pretty picky. I guess it's from being a musician. I like stuff with multiple instruments and counter-melodies. I have a Ray Lynch playlist I use for migraines. It's been a lifesaver.

I can't listen to heavy percussion or random yelling because it'll trigger migraines. I'm also obsessed with "Les Mis" (musical and book). I also like old-time stuff like Glenn Miller and Henry Mancini. The rock I like is mostly alternative, like Depeche Mode, U2, Erasure.

Well let's see the last 3 CDs I listened to were the complete score to Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome by Maurice Jarre, Music from The Rat Patrol Volume 2 by Dominic Frontiere and Alex North and A North Country Lass by Lesley Garrett ( I chat with the producer at times over on the Film Score Monthly message board, his company also released the Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome 2 cd set referenced above.) Tonight I will be watching the US version of The Voice as the battle rounds continue. Is there anything more fun than watching the by-play between Blake, Pharrell, Adam and Christina, well except maybe for a serious kick butt sing-off. Btw, if you like 60s music check out the audition of Mary Sarah singing Where The Boys Are.

I don't watch The Voice, but I love me some Xtina. Might have to give a listen to "Bionic" later. . .

I just finished listening to a favorite from almost before I was born: Days of Future Passed by The Moody Blues. One of the earliest concept albums and still one of the best.

I'm a huge fan of the voice, at least the early rounds and the battle rounds, once they go live it's a little less fun for me. In the early rounds you get the judges fighting against each other and it's entertaining, in the late rounds all it seems you get is praise of the singers. Personally, I like a little criticism when they do poorly and you don't really see that.

Jazz all day yesterday, though I did also play the debut album from Suicidal Tendencies and some Marshall Crenshaw.

This morning, it's been all Grateful Dead. Just about finished with a playlist I made called "Pigpen Classics", and then I have 11/8/69 Set 2 cue'd up (from Dick's Picks 16).

Might play some 70's live Elvis after that. Aloha from Hawaii never hurts my feelings.

Loving this, had it on Spotify for the past hour! Thanks for the recommendation. X

To the metal enthusiasts, it's not my favourite genre but I do enjoy some. Have any of you listened to Kvelertak from Norway. Fantastic.

Look up the song Bludtorst (spelling may be slightly off) one of the greatest guitar riffs of all time

I am partway through Disc 2 of Xena: Warrior Princess - 20th Anniversary Anthology which collects all of the 6 volumes of soundtrack CDs in one set. Joseph LoDuca the composer of most of the music in this set is a genius. One track was composed by Lucy Lawless.

My favorite album is probably Bruce Springteen's We Shall Overcome: Seeger Sessions, but my all-time favorite song is a toss up between Hallelujah (the Jeff Buckley version) and Ave Maria by Barbra Bonney. There is absolutely no method to my madness...."

Me too Raven!

Buckley was amazing - so sad he died in that freak drowning after jumping in the river on a lark. Love his rendition of "Hallelujah" and his song "Last Goodbye" from Grace especially. What a crazy vocal range that guy had!

I do like classic Punk on occasion like Patti Smith's Horses or Easter albums or even the more recent song "Gone Again" that she wrote after her husband's death .. she's half poet, half wildwoman!! And I like quite a wide range of music, but I do generally go for singer/songwriters most often.

Lovett and Of Mice and Men are great! Joplin was something amazing - pure passion, she was!

One of my favorite more recent singer/songwriters is Sufjan Stevens. I think the albums Chicago and Age of Adz are both brilliant!

How fun that your husband is a drummer. Does he have a band so you can go see him play?

I mostly listen to Indie Rock with bands such as Arctic Monkeys, Franz Ferdinand, The Wombats, The Vacinnes and the list continues. But nowadays I use SoundCloud a lot, because I thought to myself, I can go more Indie :) .

cult of luna - somewhere along the highway.
went to a festival 2 weeks ago where they played the whole album. It was so amazing.

One of the vets at work actually recommended them to me and loving them as well.

'Your Star' by Evanescence

Raven Rebecca wrote: "I’ve never been a huge Punk or Patti Smith fan, but I do have her Trampin album, which is not punk haha. I’d be more likely to pull up some Blondie, maybe some Marianne Faithful..."

Love the Springsteen tribute, and hey Raven, Blondie and Marianne Faithful are both great!

But Trampin is a newer one by Smith and doesn't capture her crazy early energy - the early stuff is very different, the stuff before she "retired" and then came back a great many years later. She's considered the so-called 'godmother of Punk' but what she did was at the beginning before punk really existed so it really is all on its own with other bridge groups like Velvet Underground.

A few random song links - maybe you'll like them, maybe not (such a huge variety in music and musical tastes!!), but they give you a better flavor for what she was like in her heyday:

I went to see Explosions in the Sky on Saturday night, so they've been featuring pretty heavily in my listening this weekend.

Neheroth - went and saw Abbath on his first US tour in 14 years. Great show. Such an entertaining frontman.

Are there any Prog Rock fans out there?

- Flower Kings
- Steven Wilson
- Big Big Train
- Genesis
- Yes

He played a lot of Immortal. It was great. Immortal hadn't been in the States since 2002 so I never got to see them.
I saw Mayhem this past November and it was good but not amazing in my opinion.

Gallows - Staring at the Rude Boys

Lancer that is a blast from the past.... Jeez I haven't heard that in years!!

I definitely enjoy it on occasion

Kirsty it is actually a cover of the original which I believe was The Ruts possible. This version is a little more punk rock but I enjoy both versions.

Steve Earle
Nathaniel Radcliff and the Night Sweats
Caro Emerald
Marcia Bell

Bruce, I'm getting older and more mellow but still love Genesis, Marillion, King Crimson and Camel.

Bah, I'm trying to find some new music. I find Spotify Radio to be more and more useless these days - when I play a playlist radio, it basically just plays the playlist...

I've always got music of some kind on unless I am watching TV or a movie.
Right now I am really into the artist Ruelle so I have been starting with her stuff when I get music going.
A bunch of her stuff was used on the show Shadowhunters and while I have mixed feeling about the show (can't decide if its ok or a total train wreck) I loved the music.

Carry on my wayward son by Kansas, Don't judge...

Depending on my mood I will listen to almost anything (except most rap), so it could be folk, choral, pop, rock etc... though on sunny days a I am fan of cheese as it makes me laugh :D

At work of late it has been The Killers Battle Born album

I like the Killers Freya - I listened to the Sam's Town and Day and Age albums quite obsessively after I bought them. I don't have Battle Born yet though.

I'm currently listening to a band called My Name is Earl, who are friends of my parents. They're pretty cool, Clapton-esque sound. :)

I like the album a lot, but it amuses quite a bit because I am currently playing Skyrim and there is a family in it called the Battleborns :D

It's funny to see prog-rock fans. King Crimson is perhaps my favorite one all-times, along with Camel. These days I find myself listening to prog-metal. Like Opeth.
I find it funny that lots of people who love prog-rock hate prog-metal. Both are loud, and influenced by classical music. prog-rock tends to be more affected by folk music.
