Favorite Song

[EponaOwns]

I've just been dying to do one of these threads caus eI'm in love with music!! So what is your favorite song and type of music AND band or singer

I like the song good old fashion lover boy by queen and paper planes by MIA. Viva la vida by coldplay...

I have tooooooo many bands to name but I like alternative rock, classic rock and rap.

[Claire]

My favorite genres include the following: Folk metal, viking metal, symphonic metal, power metal, and gothic metal. I also enjoy classical music and folk too.

My favorite bands include those who tour Paganfest, and a significant amount who tour Wacken Open Air. Then again, my liking for folk music makes me a Blackmore's Night fan as well as traditional folk music fan, nothing like the bagpipes.

I can't say there is one particular style of music that I prefer, likewise composistions that I like could fall under mutiple catagories. However, I like some more conceptual and/or minimalistic music. However, I also like some classical but also alternative.

I like some of the music of the Icelandic band Sigur Ros, but I most like the composistion of Philip Glass.
As for a favourite song, probably Mad Rush, or Einstein on the Beach. However, there are many others that I am partial to.

A thread like this already exists, so uh, yarr. So, I'm just gonna copy my post from there, even though this thread will probably get deleted, or whatever the hell happens to duplicate threads.

Mostly post-rock, think "God is an Astronaut" and "Mogwai". Those are pretty good, "Do Make Say Think" and "Explosions in the sky" too. Sometimes "Angels and Airwaves", and when I'm in the mood i usually listen punk/pop-rock. I've always been a huge fan of "Blink 182", started listening to that when i was like, 6, which might explain why i turned out as idiotic as i did, "Offspring", "Sum 41", "New Found Glory" etc. usually go around the playlist while I'm listening to Blink, certain songs from "Slipknot", "HIM", "KoRn" and "TOOL" find they're way to the playlist as well, some Progressive Trance like "Ballearic Bill" or "The Thrillseekers" but that's just for fun, with that there's usually some Hardstyle or Hardtrance. Diverse, i know, don't judge. Anywho, there's a hell of a lot more bands i could list here, but i don't see the need for that.

On a side note. Fred FredBurger says.

Fred FredBurger: "I like... I like music... that goes like this: "FALALALA!" But sometimes... I like... I like music... that goes like this: "BALALAAAH"!

Oh crap, in my previous post i forgot "God Speed! Black Emperor", they have some pretty good songs.

Whenever You Need Somebody - Rick Astley

No, I'm not being one of those epic internet pranksters who only say they like Rick Astley because of Rick Roll.

[Skull_Kid]

I like all kinds of music, my taste is very wide - all depends what mood I'm in. Chill out, rap (but I'm picky with that), orchestral, pop, rock, punk, dance, mash up, world, pretty much everything. But if I had to pick one, progressive rock. I love how layered it can get, and how long the songs can get. I'm drawn to the unconventional risk taking kind of music - the regular 3 minute pop song gets old quick.

My favourite song is the title track from my favourite album - Six by Mansun. There are so many layers to this album, I've been finding stuff years after the first listens. Forget hunting down Six on youtube, you'll end up with a rubbish radio friendly version. The UK album has the best version. Listen at the link below if you're interested, and the rest of the album if you're brave enough. I don't think I'm lying when I say you won't have heard one like this, but it's a love it or hate it kind of album. It might be too much for some people.

Skull Kid: I cannot believe you listen to Within Temptation, I absolutely love them. Sharon den Adel is a fantastic vocalist.
