I like J-Pop/Japanese music in general, because I can easily sing it, and I can 'feel' or 'sense' the rhythm and melody. I like SNoW's strong voice and lyrics, because although I don't understand Japanese, I look up the lyrics and sing them in English and Japanese. I can easily pick up the words because I can pronounce them, and they don't go extremely fast like French music, or slow like English music. I also like Mami Kawada, and Indian music, like the music CD for the Bollywood movie 'Kal Ho Naa Ho'. Otherwise, I have a lot of favourite artists and bands I am not going to list, but if you haven't tried out the band Paramore's music, you should. It's very catchy and good.

I wish there was an easy, user friendly and relatively fast way to make a streaming playlist, that people online can listen to. That'd be a cool way to share one's tastes.

I love well written/structured songs. I'm a sucker for a good recording/production (my dad is a recording engineer...). That being said, I can get into almost any style of music. Heavier music will always be the apple of my eye though (well maybe not always, but it has always been and continues to be).

 

[Leysing]

Dire Straits. I can't exactly define what makes me like their music. But it's definitely the best rock music I've ever heard. (Well, Mark Knopfler's voice and guitar playing must have something to do with my choice... )

Hanz Zimmer. His soundtracks are very powerful, there's a lot of variation in his productions, and his songs have, in my opinion, stronger "feeling" or "atmosphere" than the compositions of several other soundtrack composers.

Lasse Martenson. A Finnish soundtrack composer, who has IMO created nearly the most beautiful music I've heard. His most famous composition is Stormskaers Maja.

 

[The Unknown Essence]

I mostly like rock stuff, although I also like classical music. Here is a list of some of my favourite bands:

Evanescence
Alter bridge
Logan
Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Travis
Oasis
Maroon 5
Seether
Shinedown
Muse
The Hoosiers
Disturbed
Puddle of Mud
Nickelback
Finger Eleven

Piaf Springs Eternal

I have been listening to Piaf, the French chantreuse.

She is wonderful and I have been wondering why she is so exceptional.

And I think it is because she has presence.

But what is presence?

It is simply being yourself in public.

It sounds so easy but so few, so very few, achieve it.

And we are immediately touched by it - there is nothing between us and the immediate feelings of the singer - we feel with the singer.

Unfortunately almost all wear a mask to protect themselves - but they not only succeed in hiding themselves from us but they succeed in hiding from even themself.

This phoney mask is very understandable particularly by MBTI members who almost all hide behind a pseudonym which conceals them, not only from us, but also from themselves.

But Piaf shows us the way - it only takes courage and integrity.

Piaf springs eternal.

Victor.

Lately I've been listening a lot to another german band-OOMPH! (Yes, that's actually the name). Same genre as Rammstein, but with a lot more variety in the music and lyrics.

I am jonesing on this song today: YouTube - Heart - Dog & Butterfly (Live)

If you love Heart, this will send you back in time on a light breeze.

If you've never heard of Heart, let this be your introduction.

If you are in the mood for a cathartic dirge, try this:

YouTube - Beck - Nobody's Fault But My Own

 

[songofcalamity]

I listen to anything with nice rhythm and melody, rap is fine, only if the rap makes sense or it's not all gibberish rap from beginning to end, e.g where is the love by black eyed pea, one of the only rap songs that i don't find unbearable. I listen to mostly indie, alternative and rock.

Rilo Kiley, Coldplay, Voxtrot, The Cab, Boys Like Girls, Corrinne May (slow ambient pop, good for insomniacs, I love this album when I feel sleepy but can't sleep), The Strokes, Within Temptation, Imogen Heap, Fiest, Paramore, Train, This Providence, Stars, Skillet, Relient K, advantage Lucy, BoA, xoxo Panda (korean indie) etc.

That is maybe my favorite Beck song, and kind of an odd one for him until Sea Change came out.

These are all albums I love as well. I'm not a metalhead per se, but I enjoy a lot of the more mainstream metal. Not much of a fan of Slayer or Pantera or the harder stuff. Have you heard a new band called Five Finger Death Punch? They're pretty good.
