[MENTION=5356]Speed Gavroche[/MENTION]: while I agree on some of those band types (like GNR and ACDC being ESTP), I must say that Rage Against The Machine is ENFJ, not ENFP; they're hardly concerned with discovery of new horizens, toying with concepts, or seeking novelty. They're more so focused on social justice and revolution, which is very focused on mass community ethics (or in this case, the fiery will of the oppressed masses). Also, Aux Ni is rather obvious; their lyrics scream of 'HEY! ALL THIS FUCKING BULLSHIT IS A SIGN THAT THE GOVERNMENT CONTROLS YOU, SO LETS FOLLOW A BETTER IDEAL AND REBEL!', and aggressive tert Se; 'Fuck you I won't do what you tell me!'.

They're also, by enneagram type, 1w2 > cp6w7 > 2w3(?) so/sp (or so/sx)

I thnk Aerosmith is rather ESFP actually.

RATM is too much chaotic to be ENFJ, and I really can't follow you on any enneagram typing, especially if you persist to use "trifix".

Possible, most hard rock bands tend to be Se dom; drugs, sex, and rock n roll!

Uhhhh, last I checked ENFJ's can be very chaotic. And if I had to choose one enneagram for RATM, I'd pick either 1w2 or cp6w7.

Yeah but they put a lot more of feelings int heir music than AC/DC wich is more about technical simplism, big fun and no value judgement.

RATM is clearly 6w5.

Public Enemy is a lot more ENFJ in comparaison. Or maybe ENTJ. Earth, Wind & Fire is the quintessential ENFJ band.

6w5 could be possible, cp6 anyway is definite. I still think they're ENFJ though.

Bands that give off a certain vibe, and is the type of sound most likely to be enjoyed by that MBTI type. Also, I want to try and keep to one example for each type. The most undisputable in type and best known will enjoy priority when I edit the list.

For starters:
Belle & Sebastien: INFP
Daft Punk: INTP
Iron Maiden: ENTP
Guns n' Roses: ESTP
Metallica: ESTJ
Rolling Stones: ESFJ
My Chemical Romance: ISFJ
Marilyn Manson: INFJ
Kraftwerk: INTJ
Queens of the Stone Age: ISTJ
Oasis: ISTP
Franz Ferdinand: ISFP
ABBA: ESFP
Rage Against The Machine: ENFP
System of a Down: ENFJ

Huh! My favorite group of those (Iron Maiden) is only one variable off from my type. :) Admittedly, I'm not a big RATM fan, but they're not too bad. :)

Ah, cool!
MIA is DEF super Fi, and she's also quite confrontational....could ISFP go with that?
But are you typing artists or how their music makes you feel?

You are hearing something completely different than when I listen. Both Depeche Mode and Muse seem to be dripping with F when I listen. Depeche Mode was like emo before emo.

Probably ESTP? I'm not sure as I've never really "listened" to their "music", but I once watched a short doumentary about the ICP culture and it seemed to be inhabited by Se doms; additonally, a few people recited the lyrics, but they're so ridiculously psychotic and unintelligent that I couldn't make any conclusions concerning it. Nor do I feel like reading through the lyrics of their garbage music.

I always thought she was an INTJ. I'm not sure why though. ...definitely T in any case, with Se and Fi. T---> A visible lack of "emotionally vulnerable" content in the lyrics.

Arcade Fire- INFJ
Danzig- ENTP
Johnny Cash- ENFP
The Clash- ENFJ

Linkin Park:
Chester Bennington: ENFP type 7
Mike Shinoda :ENFJ
Joe Hahn: INFP

I thought Chester was ISFP and Mike ENTJ; but I haven't watched any of their interviews.

I love Linkin Park! (They get a little over the top with the bleeding and screaming thing sometimes, though. Like, get over it.)

Well iron maiden ENTP is obvious... The bassist who wrote almost EVERYTHING (even the lyrics and other instruments) is very ENTP.

Beyond that, is this even really possible? James hetfield is an ISTP, but does Metallica fit that? Pre black album cliff burton brought influences that seem more Ne. Black album era seems much more Te-Se...

Megadeath vs Metallica: their music is similar but different. Same band for a bit actually. Hetfield ISTP. Mustain ISTP as well? Their music would still need to be typed differently I think.
