What's your musical taste ?

[blackcat]

Mine's some good old rock music Planet Rock, the UK's Classic Rock DAB Digital Radio Station.

[blackcat]

I used to listen to The Arrow on my DAB, but the station went off air. They used to have an excellent programme that played 1960/70s rock on at 9pm each night. Planet Rock's 9am connection competition is a challenge every weekday morning.

The levellers!

[ahuxham]

Kiss 101

 

[webman]

Quite a mix really

 

Mainly...

 

Drum & bass - LTJ Bukem, Total Science, London Elektricity. The atmospheric/soulful type.

 

House/Trance/Electronic - Like Groove Armada, Moby, William Orbit, Royksopp, Goldfrapp

 

Female vocals - KT Tunstall, Feist, Amy McDonald, Adele, Gabriella Cilmi

 

I don't mind a bit of jazz or indie-rock such as Coldplay (new album is excellent).

 

Recently discovered other artists such as The Radio Dept, The Cinematic Orchestra, Red Snapper, Telepopmusik, and Sigur Ros which I quite like.

 

I won't say I'd listen to anything though.. there's a lot of crap and drivel out there that I just can't stand. Like Neil Young, Neil Diamond, 50s/60s/70s/80s music, rap/R&B, rave,

[Pyroman]

The levellers!

 

Legend!!! what a band. saw them last year, absolutely stunning!

[Domino]

Metal - Dillinger escape plan, architects, alexisonfire

 

Dance - funk, house,

 

Acoustic/folk - ben harper, city and colour,

[phreak]

A little bit of most things.

 

Rap - Oldskool is usually better, some 2pac, NWA, Snoop and such. Also some new stuff like FiddyCent, Eminem, Ludacris.

 

Metal/Rock - Some old stuff, some new stuff. Offspring, Greenday, Some Marilyn Manson, Nickleback, Guns&Roses. But also like some Indie stuff like Arctic monkeys, Kasabian, Kaiser Chiefs, Pigeon detectives. (seen all of those indie bands live which helps)

 

Dance - Tiesto, hard house, Prodigy, anything with a good beat to it, lots of bass and you can dance to it really.

Dance music is the thing I love most of all though. Reach for the lasers!!!

[Domino]

oooh, forgot the rap

 

jurassic 5, dj format, nwa

[maniac]

Another vote for planet rock here! Usually have it on in the office, but the two guys I work with aren't as keen on it, so I'll normally find the radio station changed when I go out of the office for five minutes!

 

I prefer Live music, goto a lot of gigs and festivals, and a lot of local pubs that have live bands playing as well. Anyone else going to Reading or Leeds festival this year??

 

Mike.

[JohnMason]

80's and 90's pop / rock mainly.

 

Mostly it'd be Bruce Springsteen, Bryan Adams, Bon Jovi and Guns & Roses, but I like my 90s pop too.

 

Virgin Radio tends to be my daytime station, while at night I tend to use what i have on my pc.

[witch]

Frank Turner, Pink Floyd. Nickelback,Genesis, Bach, Beethoven etc, Panic at the Disco, Alexisonfire, Red Hot Chili Peppers,Enter Shikari,King Crimson,Foo Fighters,Radiohead,Greenday,Deep Purple.....and many more

[ahuxham]

I'll actually reply now I have a bit more time instead of Kiss 101..

 

Green Day, Panic At The Disco, 36 Crazyfists, Nickelback, Stone Sour, Boys Like Girls, American Head Charge, System Of A Down

 

Pendulum, Arman van Buuren, Tiesto, Pavo (vocal female hardhouse/techno/hardstyle/jumpstyle etc) I do like bass!

 

Katy Perry, Imogen Heap (Frou Frou), Tracy Chapman etc etc.

[Joedetic]

To be fair...pretty much ditto witch minus Alexisonfire, King Crimson and Enter Shikari (as I've not heard them).

 

Levellers are also good, Fleetwood Mac are also good, as is BB King, R.E.M, occasionally Cold Play, Pendulum, Sigur Ros, SOAD and a lot more besides.

In no particular order of preference;

 

Sigur Ros

Thin Lizzy

Marillion

Mogwai

Foo Fighters

Kate Bush

Genesis

Amiina

 

Infact if it floats my boat i'll listen to anything

[elsiegee40]

Excellent taste witch

 

Most recently have seen Springsteen, Mark Knopfler, Jools Holland and Ronnie Scott's Jazz Orchestra. Thoroughly enjoyed all of them (Though for reference the acoustics in The Emirates Stadium, while great for football crowds, are rubbish for music!)

[Jackd]

Generally anything for me, some favourite artists at the moment are:

Sigur Ros, Daft Punk, Mark Ronson, Utah Saints, Girls Aloud, The Fall Of Troy etc..

[sidewinder]

Good to see people have quite varied tastes.

Mines much the same, Im a fan of most genres: rock (modern and classic), hip hop, r&b, reggae (dub especially), drum & bass, garage, grime, punk, electro, dubstep, and pop (decent pop - not kiddies pop)

[deanc]

another vote for planet rock here, used to listen to a dutch station called arrow (similar to the UK one with less talk) but when they stopped broadcasting on AM i had to buy a DAB radio:rockon:

[john]

all sorts, more older stuff than some of the modern stuff, very much enjoy a nice bit of Elton John though, and Queen.

[K.C.Leblanc]

Indie stuff, the trouble is I've been out of the loop so long I havn't heard of any of the bands any more.

 

Heard a band called Glas Vegas on the radio, very good.

[stephenleak]

Erm, classical and getting into opera.

[DSapseid]

I listen to radio 1 in the office as it has quote a selection of music and some of the things they do are funny. My ipod has got songs ranging from queen - girls aloud - hardcore trance - classical - hot hot heat. So all genres of music i like a bands/artists sound rather than one genre in general. Currently listening to ipod in the office turned up nicely on my 2.1 speakers with some dance music on Cascada album is currently in my car but i can plug my ipod into my stereo so can have anything i want.

 

Ooops just had some come in and ask me turn the bass down as they can here it about 4 rooms away!! and the sub is turned down to its lowest setting!! :rockon:

[amyr]

pretty much anything apart from heavy metal and rap at the moment i've got some old rock on...again I go for a band rather than a genre and I have a very eclectic mix of cds! although bon jovi is always good in the car

 

have been told by someone in admin today that they think we've got a party going on as I'm in one room listening to music whilst tidying the office and the other techy is listening to something else in another room whilst preparing this years clones. oh well at least it's keeping us quiet....
