My musical tastes are rather eclectic. I have a relatively new computer, so, I have more CD's in my collection than I have on my computer. Also, in a short while, I shall be utilizing my account on Pod-o-matic.com and doing pod-casts.
So, a rundown of the bands I have on my iPod: (as this will give you an idea of my tastes, shadows, and sense of humor...)
Adam Ant, Alice Cooper, Alice in Chains, Alien Sex Fiend, Aphex Twin, Atari Teenage Riot, Beats Antique, Black Sabbath, Collide, Concrete Blonde, The Cure, David Bowie, Dead Can Dance, Diary of Dreams, Duran Duran, Ego Likeness, Emilie Autumn (ALL HAIL THE RAT QUEEN!!!), Faderhead, Faith and the Muse, Filter, The Fixx, Front 242, Gary Numan, Genesis, How to Destroy Angels, In This Moment, Iron Maiden, Kidney Thieves, King Diamond, Korn, Lords of Acid, The Machine in the Garden, Makaras Pen, Marilyn Manson, Ministry, Motorhead, O. Children, Otep, Overkill, Ozzy Osbourne, Pantera, Paul Young, Peter Gabriel, Praga Khan, The Prodigy, Queen, Queensryche, Radiohead, Rage Against the Machine, REPO! the Genetic Opera, the Rocky Horror Picture Show soundtrack, The Rolling Stones, Rush, She Wants Revenge, Spawn soundtrack, Skinny Puppy, Slipknot, Sneaker Pimps, Suicidal Tendencies, Switchblade Symphony (Susan Wallace, where ARE you?!), Talk Talk, Testament, Thomas Dolby, A Tribe Called Red, Type O Negative, U2, WASP, Wall of Voodoo, Wumpscut, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Yes, Zola Jesus, Zombie Girl, The 69 Eyes.
I did a lot of growing up in the 80's, so, the retro should be obvious. Old school rock still needs a bit more of a contingent, here. I've got some Nazareth and Stevie Ray Vaughan to go on here eventually.
The electronica was something I actually really liked, even in my "Metal" days of my youth (see retro crap). In my freedom as an adult, I explored this facet of myself even further. I still have bands like Nine Inch Nails and the like to get on here, as well.
The Metal, for those who know me, is freakin' obvious. For those who don't, Metal took me through an integral part of my life. It gave me a reason to exist when others reasons failed. The music empowered and inspired me. Though I am a peaceful warrior, the Metal spoke to my "warrior" nature.
There was an interestingly dark time in my life where I became attracted to the Goth scene and music. Rozz Williams and Christian Death were on everyone's minds and they were getting protests here in Dallas for even WANTING to play here. My thoughts at that point were like this, "Wouldn't the Christians want a Christian death? They get really upset when their deaths are pagan or secular..."
Of the more interesting finds in here, my recommendations are on A Tribe Called Red (think native American Dub-step), The 69 Eyes, Emilie Autumn and Faith and the Muse.
Hey! If anyone has any suggestions in music, my brain is always hungry for new music!
