Wow I am getting old. I recognized like one band from this list, Rush. One of my favorites by the way and if you haven't listened to Rush in a while go and find some of their music from their most recent CD Snakes and Arrows. A great record and definite throwback to their early prog rock days...ala Hemispheres. I've been listening to that alot since it was released.

I listen to just about anything. My inability to name a current artist is no indication that I wouldn't listen...I like any music that's well put together and this ranges from Debussy to Def Leppard, with a penchance for 70's classic rock (Zep, Floyd, The Who, Seger, etc ad infinitum).

These days I find myself listening to alot more talk than I used to. I make a practice of downloading "This American Life" and "A Prarie Home Companion" every week. (Garrison Keillor just suffered a minor stroke I've heard recently). I also like "Car Talk" and "Fresh Air with Terry Gross". I put them on my mp3 player at night and drift off to sleep many nights listening to various stories and guests.

Ive always listened to Jazz, even as a teenager. But these days it's probably the first thing I reach for on a long drive. Pat Metheny is my favorite but like many many others as well, both classic and new--"Birth of the Cool" anyone?

I also like folk/roots rock quite a bit. I love the music of Steve Earle. Is doesn't get any grittier than that.

Love Bob Marley. Love Steve Vai. Love Keith Jarrett...gawd...the list goes on. I could never pick a favorite I think. It's all so dependent on mood and circumstance.

Yea I like Pendulum, however I think they have got too commercial now and changed their style too much. They kinda lost a lot of their old DNB fans. However they gained a flood of new fans that were looking for something more like "The Prodigy" etc. There old stuff is better in my eyes.

I don't think I have a real fav DNB artist. The thing about DNB (like a few music genres) is all the different type of sub-genres classed under it, u really need to find the types you like. Its also difficult becasue a lot of artists mix their styles - "Noisia" being a prime example - I meen they make darkstep DNB and also make House music etc.

I could give you a list of artists to look up if you like.

Yes, so many sub-genres for it. I knew a few local DJ's that both claimed to spin DNB, but they were at opposite ends of the spectrum. One was more into jungle/reggaeton mixes and the other was into everything that was down tempo. I personally enjoy some Planet of the Drums with Ak1200 and Dara.

Some of my fav would be... Spor, State of mind, Black Sun Empire and Noisia

Most of those are Darkstep.

hardcore what exactly...

**Dimitrius** · 09-17-2009, 07:45 PM

I listen to everything, except for music that moves to boast or invoke a feeling of jelousy in the listener. That means I dislike most rap.

Must agree with the Rush comment. They are amazing.

I listen to Velvet Acid Christ when I play games normally. KMFDM, or classical guitar.

Thats just me.

**Sc[ + ]pe** · 09-17-2009, 07:52 PM

Browna listens to hardcore post-electric Spanish folk-country.

Yeah, you can't go wrong with Miles Davis, acoustic or electric! I get what you mean on those long drives, John Coltrane's Crescent is one of my favorites for just that.
