What is your favorite style of music?

[Nic Brookes]

If the guitar was less driven and the singer actually sang then it might be OK, but not the kind of thing I generally listen to. The beginning reminded me of Linkin Park (this is not a good thing)

[OdKahaneChai]

i like Rush,Zeplin,Alice in chain,Green day and all soft rock.I like all music,saying that boy bands can do 1..i hate arab sounding music as it drones on about the Apostate.

I love those first two - hate the latter two.  My 5 favorite bands (or singers) are AC/DC, The Who, Rush, Led Zeppelin, and Matisyahu.

Also does anyone know of any really good Israeli bands that we could promote for JTF?

I don't know if Chaim would fancy any Israeli bands that we might like other than those that play Klezmer music.

I personally like Safam a lot! I saw them in Concert in Forest Hills, NY several years ago and purchased a couple of their CDs. I'm sure there are other good bands too, but that's the one that comes to mind right away.

Why can I so rarely find anyone who likes the music I like?

[Ari]

My favorites include Weezer, Sting/The Police, Van Halen, Bruce Springsteen, and Tears For Fears.  My favorite genre is probably Classic Rock, and I hate rap with a passion.

[Daniel]

Meatloaf and Erasure are among my favorite groups. I like most music from the 80s. It was all downhill from there I also like the more mellow stuff like Yanni, Ray Lynch, John Tesh, and Enya. I've been made fun of a lot for these ones, but I don't care

[Ari]

Forgot to mention Def Leppard and Depeche Mode.  Erasure's not bad, but the lead singer is Gay and has Aids.

Oh yes, Def Leppard and Depeche Mode! The lead singer has AIDS? I didn't hear that.

[Ari]

Yes, I'm pretty sure.  Andy Bell I believe is his name.  He's been pretty open about being Gay for a very long time, and I believe I read an article a while back that stated he was also HIV positive.  You can double check on Google or wikipedia.  Anyway, while, I disagree with his moral judgements, on a music level, I do tend to enjoy Erasure's music for the most part.  They're somewhat similar to Depeche Mode, especially the earlier music.

Yeah, the New Wave music from the 80s and early 90s was kickass! I dunno what it is. But it seems like some gays have more of a natural talent towards music and art. I don't think I've ever met a hetero male art teacher before

Of coarse gays are more artistic.

How can we prove Michaelangelo was queer?

If he was straight, the roof of the Sistine Chapel would have got two coats of off-white.

Tesla is a band i have become very fond of lately...

Anyone who likes reformed classic rock

GET TESLA.. listen to their new album INTO THE NOW

[firster555]

Wow, you all just made me feel very old. I have never even heard of half of the bands/groups you are talking about. There are only a few definites for me. Rap is the biggest garbage ever to pose as music. Heavy metal started and ended with Led Zepplin, seeing people here label Zepplin as soft rock makes me feel even older.
Good, 60's and early 70's rock and Motown, Stones, Kinks, Who, Santana, Animals, also Skynard, Doobie Brothers, Doors, Temptations, Four Tops, Al Green, Charlie Parker, Muddy Waters, Rod Stewart(Atlantic Crossing album), Sinatra, Bobby Darin, Pink Floyd to name a few.
Opera singers are talented but I could never get into it.
Doo Wop, 50' rock and roll and classical music I also listen to occasionally.
Disco, which I scorned when it came out, I actually now find myself listening to with nostalgia(70's stuff).
Love patriotic music and revolutionary period Fife and Drums stuff.
Two things I also enjoy that I did not see anyone mention, hope I am not thought to weird, is marching Band music and Swing music.
Not now, but when I was still able, play swing music and you could not keep me off the dance floor.
Unfortunetly though, often I need to ignore the lyrics and just enjoy the music with many many songs.

[Lewinsky Stinks, Dr. Brennan Rocks]

Aw c'mon... no more metalheads here? 

If any of you want to just try metal out as a genre and are new to it, probably the very best sampler around is the Freddy vs. Jason sountrack (Roadrunner). Twenty songs, a  good mix of what is out there, most of it not frighteningly hard, but with a true death-metal track or two thrown in just so you can see what it is like.

Of you like metal, do you perhaps like underoath?

KILLSWITCH ENGAGE IS MY FAVOURITE BAND...

I probably should have mentioned that at the beginning of the thread...

HOWARD JONES ROCKS... BEST VOICE IN THE METAL WORLD

[Joe Schmo]

I liked Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Iron Maiden, Metallica, etc., when I was a teenager.  Now, I only listen to great music.

Scriabin, I am not saying I agree with this, but would you consider progressive rock (Pink Floyd etc.) to be the closest thing to classical music in the world of popular music?

I'll buy that.  You could put Queen on that list as well.

[Nic Brookes]

I am of course correct in assuming that you prefer real classical music...

[angryChineseKahanist]

How about Skrewdriver?

I saw Howard Jones at Radio City Music Hall about 100 years ago  - he was good then.
