Athenian:
Styx - awesome, I missed them :rock:
Duran Duran - decent music, but I'm going to pass on this one
Queen - As far as I am concerned, Queen battles with Led Zepplin as Gods of Rock. I have a ton of both already.
America - I've heard the horse with no name song on the radio recently, interesting stuff.
Tom Petty - I'm Free Fallin', :rock:

I have to admit, I'm a little confused by all these bands with "Orchestra" in the name which do not use an orchestra at all.

This was a recent find in the category of good Japanese Pop music:
YouTube - Rin' Sakitama

I'm a little sad that I couldn't find this on US iTunes though:
YouTube - Rin' - sakura sakura

A traditional Japanese folk song (jazzed up a bit) about Cherry Blossoms.

Charming! :)

Of note: I have a stack of Chinese pop music on the desk in front of me brought back from Hong Kong. Have yet to rip into it. Looks like good fun. :D

No, you aren't -
There are always bands with more questionable names! :)

As for TCO, indeed it does not - it's an electronic-jazz outfit. (More jazzy than electronic, however.) It's calm, dark, moody. A lovely sound. That's why I'm recommending them!

Lethe: I'm surprised to see that someone else has even heard of Arcana, much less listened to it. Have you checked out Dargaard? They are pretty good as well, and akin to Arcana! I'm also familiar with a great portion of the rest of your list... currently looking at Sopor Aeternus for my next endeavour in music I haven't yet listened to... though the backstory of that "band" is something worth contemplating on its own...

I could probably put a couple hundred songs here, cuz they all fit different moods and situations, hence they're all my favs :p

Zebrahead - Playmate of the Year. Song about a boy and his Playboy Mag. I just find it funny as hell. The Blink182 thread reminded me of it.

3 Doors Door - Here Without You.

30 Seconds to Mars - Was it a Dream?

Arctic Monkeys - I Bet You Look Good on the Dance Floor.

Asteria - A Lesson in Charades

Billy Talent - Surrender

Blink182 - Adams Song

Blue October - Hate Me

City and Colour - Sometimes (I Wish)

Dashboard Confessional - Vindicated

The White Stripes - You Don't Know What Love Is.

Krypteria - You & I (couldn't find a Youtube link. So the link goes to the lyrics. it's a weird Gothic/Rock/Techno/Orchestral Duet bad break up song. It's so odd I can't help but like it.

Incubus - Wish You Were Here.

Lifehouse - Trying. Not the proper video.

Thats enough for now. :p

Edit: two more.

Green Day vs Oasis - Blvd of Broken Songs (I love mashups and remixes :D )

Linkin Park vs Britney Spears - Faint Toxic.

Here's a sample of the kind of music I like. It's simply called "good."

:D

YouTube - David Usher - Black, Black Heart

I like techno, rock, pop, alternative (I guess that's a category that includes stuff like the song I linked? Or would that go under rock?), some rap, and pretty much anything that really strikes my fancy, which can range from country to its opposite (rap?), haha.

Hey!!! Check this out!

MySpace.com - Eric Whitacre - Los Angeles, US - Classical / A'cappella / Electronica - www.myspace.com/ericwhitacre

Listen to "What If" from the "Opera Electronica" called "Paradise Lost".

This exemplifies my hopes for what post-modern art and music might become.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradise_Lost:_Shadows_and_Wings

Paradise Lost

I wish I could see it soo badly! But alas, it debuted in LA last summer and I doubt it will make it to the East Coast soon. I hear word that they are working on a recording though.

That Eric Whitacre link was great, thats one added to my next shopping list!
(edit: well, if/when its released anyway, but I may order some of his other albums)

I like music from all sorts of different genres, (goth rock, darkwave, deathrock, EBM, future pop, dream pop, shoegaze, ethereal, industrial, electro, alternative, agrotech, powernoise, even some visual kei, metal and rock - though only a little)
I have far too many "favourite" bands to list, but the one band that is, and always will be, on my favorites is the Cruxshadows.

I'll second that recommendation of The Cruxshadows. I only dicovered them a year or so ago when someone recommended Ethernaut to me, and then I found Dreamcypher which IMO is one of the best albums I've listend to in years. Some of those genres listed above are ones I know nothing about but based on the recommendatiosn they are grouped with, I'd be interested in some recommendations of specific artists from them.

Now a few more recommendations of my own - trying to find stuff in my collection I don't think others have recommended yet (but I'll go ahead and throw in recommendations for Arcana, Flogging Molly, Enya and Clannad). (a slightly trimmed down version of my music bookmarks webpage)

Folk/World (Neo-Folk, Folk Metal and other Medievalish/Reniasance sounding stuff)
Blackmore's Night
Cruachan
Elane
Faun
Hagalaz' Runedance
Irfan
Korpiklaani
Lyriel
Midnattsol
Omnia
Pilori
Poeta Magica
Schattenkinder
The Soil Bleeds Black
Tempest

Everything Else
All My Faith Lost
Chalice
Chamber
The Cruxshadows
Delain
Echoes of Eternity
Elis
Epica
Inkubus Sukkubus
Krypteria
L'Ame Immortelle
Leaves' Eyes
Liv Kristine
Lunascape
Lunatica
Lullacry
Persephone
Seraphim
Sirenia
Therion
Visions Of Atlantis

And a few I don't have links for (may or may not have web pages or myspace samples)

3rd and the Mortal
Angels of Venice
Arise From Thorns
Ataraxia
Dresden Dolls
The Ink Spots
Nox Arcana
Storm (Folk metal band that only released one album, hard to find)

lol. go sleep, you bunny baby. :D

--------

Favourite elfin songs. I do not quite care about the genre or what it belongs to. I hate having to classify things. I just like what i like. So:


Def Leppard: love bites.
Astrud Gilberto: The shadow of your smile.
Dusty Springfield: Windmills of your mind.
Pink Floyd: Just another brick in the wall; High Hopes (esp this)
Dalida: la fleurs du temps

The jazz singers: Ella Fitzgerald and all of them.

Besame mucho. Done in a bossa nova.

Sway! :holy: the Buble version; as well as the original.

This Masquerade: by Karen Carpenter (her voice is so warm and so sad). As well, when my former jazz band did it. They did it bossa to rock. It was damn freaking cool. And my lead singer had a voice to die for; old beyond her years.

Elvis Presley on Love me tender and Are You Lonesome Tonight. You can melt into a puddle of chocolate on that. Pure voice and guitar alone.

El Divo: Regresa mi (unbreak my heart.); una noche.

Classical: chopin: fantasie impromptu and the nocturne in C# minor.
Albinoni's Adagio in G minor.

Metallica: Nothing Else Matters. That's a love song for ya.

Kate Bush and Nick Cave: Where the wild roses grow. A sepulchral murder-love ballad if there ever was one.

that's abt it for the moment from my sleep addled mind. :sleeping:
