Anything from a video game (esp. Sonic the Hedgehog or Megaman)

Anything with John Williams name on it, especially the Star Wars soundtracks, Raiders of the Lost Ark and Superman.

Re: OT - Favorite Music?
 

Rachmaninov - Piano Concerto #2.

Wonna argue ? - watch 7 year itch once again !

Re: OT - Favorite Music?
 

I listen to a variety of music including some of the following: Smashing Pumpkins, Depeche Mode, New Order, Placebo, Orbital, Prodigy, OutKast, Treble Charger, Chemical Bros, Bjork, The Cure, etc etc!

I like silly 80s retro, brit rock, alternative, electronic, one hit wonders, with a bit of bling bling hip hop because sometimes it's just fun. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Also anything that's interesting on a percussion level is usually fine by me!

Re: OT - Favorite Music?
 

I also like variety of music, rock & roll, 50,60,70,80's, some country, some pop, some classical, oldies,

Yeah, its not in german and its alot better than her english Version.

Re: OT - Favorite Music?
 

These days I'm listening to alot of Dream Theater, Queensryche and Dio. I've also just discovered Spocks' Beard, OSI (office of strategic influence) and Porcupine Tree.

Re: OT - Favorite Music?
 

Hey, doesn't anyone listen to any good music around here?

I listen to:
- Linkin Park
- Blink 182
- Nickelback
- 3 Days Grace
- 3 Doors Down
- Disturbed

Try 'em out.

Re: OT - Favorite Music?
 

Other than Nickleback, none of those bands are very good Reneade. Nickleback used to be ok, but has gone downhill...

Re: OT - Favorite Music?
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I concur!

Re: OT - Favorite Music?
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Interesting group names - but what style of music?

Interesting group names - but what style of music?

'Progressive Metal' is the official label. Dio of course is none other than Ronnie James Dio (of Rainbow and post-Ozzy Black Sabbeth). The lyrics are quite heavy from these Groups (Dream Theater has a 13 min song all about experimentation with Stem cells and whether its right or wrong....) and the guitar work is amazing.

Re: OT - Favorite Music?
 

I pretty much listen to anything, so checked what was on my CD changer in the car and I currently have the following albums in there

Extreme - Pornograffiti
Bizet - Carmen
Afro Celt Sound System - volume 3 Further in Time
Afro Celt Sound System - volume 4 Seed
David Lee Roth - The Best of
Beethoven/Mozart - Compilation
Triple XXX Soundtrack - only for Rammstein Feuer Frei
Nightranger - Best of
Tony Macalpine - Maximum Security
Joe Satriani - Flying in a Blue Dream
Busted - Busted
Chart acts - compliation with Christina Aguilera, Enrique Iglesias, Beyonce and loads of other chart stuff on it

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Fyron, in your personal opinion they are not very good. The tone of your post would indicate that you have the Last say in whether they are good or not. A simple "IMO" before stating that none of those bands are good would've done a world of good.

From what I'm listening to mostly these days, I think it's a toss up between Raffi and the Wiggles. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

I recognize the fact that this medium of communication is for voicing ones opinion; but the wording of ones post must still be chosen wisely to convey the thought of your opinion.
The following line sounds much more like an opinion then did your post: "I feel that other then Nickleback..."

in contrast

"Other than Nickleback, none of those bands are very good Reneade."

Notice any difference in tone and possibly meaning? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif I'm sure the Renegade knew that you just posted an opinion, just as I did, but it could still be missunderstood by some.

Re: OT - Favorite Music?
 

IMO http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif Fyron your wrong... Nickleback is not good either http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Just joking. Actually they are not my cup of tea.
But.

Nickleback is good at a party. As everyone knows the lyrics to their bigger songs... So people sing along and have a good time.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">In my case, it's Lilo & Stitch and the Wiggles. Actually, outside of John Williams' soundtracks, I'm into classic rock. Bands like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, the Eagles, etc. Sometimes I think I'm a displaced hippie with my musical tasts, but I wasn't born until 1962. Besides, I don't think I could do the drug thing. Sure, the sex and the rock and roll, but I'd have to say no to the drugs. I missed the free love era by about 5 or 10 years. Arghh!

Re: OT - Favorite Music?
 

Bah, IMO Fyron doesn't know good music http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Re: OT - Favorite Music?
 

I have eclectic tastes in music. I'll listen to just about about anything except opera, at least for a while.

Favorite album: Morrison Hotel (The Doors)

I am now officially a dinosaur.

Listen to the EMOTION contained in the music, and you will find truly good music. The bands I mentioned have quite a bit of emotion (mostly) and therefore I enjoy the music. Perhaps others do as well?

Re: OT - Favorite Music?
 

Emotion is only a part of what makes music good. You can not have good music just because it is emotional. The music itself still has to be good. Few of those bands ever seem to have much emotion in their singing or playing anyways.

Re: OT - Favorite Music?
 

emotional? George Jones' 'he stopped loving her today'. number one most emotional song i've ever heard, even if it makes strong men loudly claim they've never cried in their life. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: OT - Favorite Music?
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">It's still around, you just have to find it. As a plus, many of the hippies now bathe regularly.

I think the most emotional piece of 'modern' music I've ever heard is 'Fade to Black' played by four Finns on cellos, who call themselves Apocalyptica. Very good stuff.

But if you want music that expresses emotion best, you should look into opera or at least showtunes.

(Not that I know from personal experience, but I do work in a probation office so I know about what's going on).

As far as showtunes, I got hooked when I first heard the main title to Star Wars on the radio. Some dj played it (I'm talking about the original combined Version with the main title and the ending credits), and I've been hooked on John Williams ever since. There are other good composers, namely Jerry Goldsmith and every once in awhile James Horner, but I've managed to collect almost everything Williams has done on CD. Not too crazy about his 60's and early 70's stuff, which has a lot of jazzy stuff going on. I can't wait to hear what he's going to do for Star Wars 3, and maybe Indiana Jones 4 (if they ever get around to doing it).

Re: OT - Favorite Music?
 

For me it depends on the mood and occassion
1. Workout music - rock or rap
2. reading or writing - Jazz or classical music
3. cruising in my car - hip/hop mostly
4. playing war games at home (tabletop either miniatures or avalon hill type ) - Movie sound tracks ie : Braveheart, Glory, Excalibur and Conan the Barbarian just to name a few
as you can see a wide variety

Re: OT - Favorite Music?
 

Ween, it seems to me, is intentionally pissing me off. For some reason it feels very personal... so I don't care for that.

But some good, four-part harmony a capella gospel is, in fact, soothing music. It's a real shame that the only place a cappella seems to have in secular music is R&B. There's so much you can do with it that R&B never does.

[edit: Looks like I was wrong. It's R&B and collegic. Check these tunes.]

Re: OT - Favorite Music?
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I agree with you. Emotion is not the only component of good music. However, music without emotion is not music at all. Anyways, what sort of music do YOU like? Do you even like anything at all? Or do you simply enjoy belittleing the opinions of others, while keeping your preferences secret to aviod other people criticizing your choice of music?

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Opera? Nooooooooooooo........... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Re: OT - Favorite Music?
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I like Apocalyptica and how they have covered pretty much every Metallica song. They make good use of the Cello in their songs.

Re: OT - Favorite Music?
 

Remember, the Ride of the Valkyries is from Wagner's opera, but it's a damn good piece by itself. Personally, I can't stand operas either, but I do like classical music. At least the bombastic, thunderous type of music.

Re: OT - Favorite Music?
 

There is something rather grand about having Gustav Holst's the "planets suite" on whilst playing SEIVG.

I do like going into battle with the sounds of "Mars - Bringer of War" kicking off in my earhole. It just is a bit annoying however when SEIVG seems to make the tracks jump about

Also, i have a friend who does reviews and some of these bands i learned from him.
He runs a good website with reviews on metal: Rock Report
He's busy (it's working already but not yet published) working on a rock encyclopedia. Pretty cool.

Re: OT - Favorite Music?
 

I favor almost any genre, provided it sounds good. It appears that the only exception is rap, which I have found disgusting in general.(I am younger then 20, suprisingly.)

My favorite music comes from a site that hosts the music of various authors, ranging from techno to classic pieces. They are remixes, usually altering the original form of the music used into new directions.

Overclocked Remix III

I have some particular Favorites, listed by name and under the sections they are in:

Under section C:
-The Incredible Singing Robot
-The Knights Come Marching Home
-The Trial in Concert

Under section D:
-DDR 4F73R M3(Is this rap? Or is it something else? I can't quite make out the words...)

Under section E:
-Rings of Saturn Valley
-Bus!
-Waztelands

Under section S:
-Saturday Night Speedway(I recommend using it in Grand Theft Auto III, it feels correct.)

-Secret of Spram(8-bells mix)
-Pearl Song
-Vega's Ballad

Under section M:
-Marble Dancefloor
-BrainsickMetal
-Metal Gear May Cry Remastered
-Needles
-Zero Sky(Again, use for GTA III.)

Under section T:
-Gift from Moscow
-Slavic Roots
-McVaffe Quasi Ultimix

Under section X:
-Live from the Yggdrasil
-Skyline

Under section Y:
-Mists of Yie-Ar

Under section Z:
-Pirates of Dragon Roost Isle
-Secret Seashells
-River of Time
-Ancient Hero

minipol there is a great canadian band in your area. called nomeansno. Ancient Punk band ( 3 piece ) that have been playing since 1980... Fantastic shows...

I will look for the link of their european shows...

They usually play with a band called THE EX
