Not into metal at all, but of all things I really like Devildriver's "Clouds Over California." Yeah I don't know either.

I mostly listen to country, heartland rock (Bob Seger mainly), Southern rock and some 70s softer rock like Eagles, Jim Croce, etc. Here are some of my "none of the above" picks:

  • "Rolling in the Deep" by Adele
  • Anything by Barenaked Ladies
  • "Scatman" by Scatman John
  • Meat Loaf, at least the Bat out of Hell album (also an off-the-board pick for my mom)
  • Trout Fishing In America (folk-rock and children's music)
  • Hootie And The Blowfish
  • "The Adventure" by Angels & Airwaves (got a hold of this song when listening to an online country radio station that had it programmed in by mistake)
  • Los Lonely Boys' debut album (even if "Heaven" was overplayed, the rest of the album is fantastic)
  • Some of the songs on Enrique Iglesias' Escape album, especially "I Will Survive", "Escape" and "Hero" (blame mom's midlife crisis)
  • "The Longest Time" by Billy Joel
  • Kid Rock when he's not trying too hard ("Picture", "All Summer Long", the entire Born Free album)
  • "This Is Us" by Mark Knopfler
  • "Breathe (2 AM)" by Anna Nalick

Most of the music I enjoy is pretty much boogie-focused, mostly coming out of the blues. I'm into the stuff that would've been popular in the British mod scene back in the sixties; soul, R&B, reggae, late fifties rock and roll and so forth.

And also this:

Just this one song by them, mind you.

... well, I... um... 'Cemetery Girl' by ICP. I kind of loathe myself for it, but I CAN'T STOP LISTENING.

Tango In The Night. Being keen on soft rock/melodic rock, I'm into pretty much everything the Buckingham/Nicks/McVie/McVie/Fleetwood line-up did before 1987, and I also enjoy the stuff recorded by the Peter Green group.

This album seems like it should be too close to synth-pop for my tastes, but I still can't help but enjoy it.

A Dubstep mix of "I'm A Member Of The Midnight Crew." Dubstep is one of those genres that I can listen to for a while, but then I just really need to listen to something else...but I'm really enjoying this. I think it's the combination of the dubstep sound with some old school...ragtime would you call it? Sounds like a corrupted CD or something, almost.

Someone on here posted a song by Black Moth Super Rainbow - quite a departure for me but I really like their album dandelion gum now.

Herbie Hancock's Head Hunters. Fantastic album but sounds nothing like what I normally listen to (classic rock and rap).

Head Hunters may not actually be that different from your tastes, as 2Pac sampled "Chameleon" twice on 2Pacalypse Now and Nas sampled "Sly" for "You Can't Kill Me".

A couple of random classical peices of music which stole my heart, or calms me down, like Swan Lake, Chopin's Minute Waltz for two things...

-The Angelic Process. It's not metal, it's not drone, it's both, it's neither, it's something else. -Nero's Day at Disneyland. Glitchcore, they say, but it's not that cut-and-dry, as there's other genres in the hyperactive spaz-out that is the music. -A.K.A.C.O.D. The band claims they are "low rock", which is jazz, rock, a bit of blues, soft rock... other things.... -Subheim. Impossible to describe. Nice, moody tunes. -Adrian H and the Wounds. It's sleazy bar songs, not completely anything. There's rock, cabaret, a bit of Tom Waits in there. -Ghosts & Bones. They're like a blues rock band, but again, not so cut-and-dry. They're not as eclectic as one might expect, they're nice, quaint. -Johnny Hollow, of course. -Rosa Crux. Ritual music, they say, but sometimes it can border on rock. -My Friend Skeleton. Gothic, yes, classifiable as anything? No. Operatic, darkwave, symphonic, neo-classical, Victorian, all of that and none. -Magenta. They have one album ("Art and Accidents") and while it says 'industrial rock' it's anything but. -Peccatum, but especially in "Lost in Reverie" is unclassifiable. -Starofash. Impossible to define. -Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio. What is it? I have no idea! -Candle Nine. Some strange blend of glitch, actually, but it's not glitch. Not completely so (which is also applicable, I guess, to Access to Arasaka's latest effort, though.) -The Schoolyard Heroes. Punk? Yeah, some. Metal? Some. Shock rock? Some. Horror punk? Some. Is it any of these? No.

Will I destest Crunk Core and Glam Rap I find {{Ke$ha}} and Lil Wayne guilty pleasures.

Also LMFAO are idiots but "Party rock anthem" is actually a good song.

Normally, I don't like synth-pop. Erasure is an exception, especially their self-titled album.

Funnily enough—and Inane will probably love this—Skrillex is one of the few American dubstep producers whose work I actually like, if not a great deal.

I just fell in love with everything Cosmo Jarvis has released. He doesn't have one genre, and often crosses over into stuff like reggae, ska, pirate shanties, hip-hop and punky metal stuff. And he plays like everything, and does all his own music videos and short films. To show how varied he is:

A song about gay pirates

This wicked thing

A love song about computers that sounds like the 90's

Creepy creepy beautiful song.

and this ...a song about bumming XD

He's a fucking genius.
