So I was going through my i-tunes unchecking stuff so I could work w/in the range of my 30gig i-pod...this is tough! I have approx. 7000 songs on here, and they by far do not all fit...I like a wide range of music, you can pretty much find anything that uses an electric guitar on my ipod. The only genres I really do not care for particularly are as follows: Country, hip/hop rap, and pop music.

I can't listen to the radio, because it just pisses me off to no end...mainly the fact that the corporate radio stations shove this stuff in your ears and classify it as a genre and it all has to sound the same to be w/ in that genre. Like the rock station...you have Nickleback/shinedown/trapt, and what other lame "rock" band they want to play. All they do is have repetitive sounding songs and choruses...that's the only reason those type of bands are popular IT ALL SOUNDS THE SAME!!!! I grew up in upstate NY, just outside of Rochester, and we had a radio station called WBER, I use to listen to it all day in my room (because I had no life besides music) they played a huge range of music, and people always say "how do you hear of some of the bands you do?" its mainly because of that radio station...I heard a song I like, search it on the internet and then find tons of other bands in that same catagory to hear...maybe I'm just a freak, but music is probably the second most important thing...besides my XJ right?....hahaha

On my I-pod right now I have albums starting from "Saves The Day" and all the way down to "Cannibal Corpse". My top 5 musicians change from day to day, but you can commonly hear these 5 bands playing on my ipod:
5. CKY
4. Deftones
3. Dredg
2. Pennywise
and number one always on my i pod: SLAYER!

So what is your guys take on this? What's your favorite bands/music? You guys play any instruments regularly?...I am a vocalist.

Hey also! put down what region your in so we can see what region listens to what kind of music!
 
my 30gig ipod is packed
i have
untitled-1.jpg

mostly rock, classic rock, blues, psychedelic rock,folk rock, classic heavy metal, progressive rock, southern rock.

my top 5 in no particular order
Pink Floyd
AC/DC
Canned Heat
Rage Against the Machine

I'm also learning bass guitar and can play the drums sum-what
 
My Ipod is packed..

My bands go like this

Lawrence arms
Descendants
NOFX
And a little of the Bouncing Souls and Bad Religion.

But my Ipod is broken so Im screwed
 
Try sifting through 11,244 songs. I think the only purpose they serve is for my friends to get a kick out of what they can dig up.

I went to Sirius about 2 years ago and never looked back for a second. Alt-Nation, channel 21 has been tops lately...I'll make sure to thank my ex for that one...:sure:


....aaaaand I've been beatin the drums nearly all my life, ha.

Woah, I haven't met too many people who listen to them period, let alone have them on their top 5. Good band, good band.

Ya, I have been into dredg for about 5 years now...I have seen them about 3 or 4 times, but everytime I see them they are w/ really heavy bands, so no one there really appreciates them as much, you know?

such an under rated band
 
My exposure to New music first started when GM cars got XM radio in them. I would drive the New cars around the lot when i would have to inspect them off the delivery truck. I usually listen to 47 Alt Nation and 48 squizz. Then i started listening to this Online radio called Pandora. Soooooo many different bands on it as well. Difference is Pandora is more worldwide. XM seems more focused on North American bands. Not saying ALL are american bands, but you dont hear that many from other countries.
I've been listening to some pretty cool overseas bands lately.......Nightwish, Lacuna Coil, Within Temptation. Lacuna Coil is got to be my Favorite!!! Cristina is soooooo Da** Hot!!!.................and the music kicks a** too.
