Personally I listen to all types of music, from rock, to rap, to funk, to jazz, to electronic, etc. My favorite bands would have to be Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins, and Pearl Jam. Also up there is Pink Floyd, the Beatles, Coldplay, Nine Inch Nails, Deftones, Travis, Stereophonics, Blur, Led Zep, Rolling Stones ... I could go on but that's a general idea. And my favorite CD of all time is the Smashing Pumpkin's Siamese Dream with Radiohead's OK Computer coming in second and Coldplay's Parachutes third. How about all of you?

The Incredible...
...any kind of music out there but I have one artist somewhat above others for many reasons...
--> David Bowie <--
-I'm not into drugs or anything...
-I'm not gay...
-I'm not THAT old...
-And yes, I like the so called "Rock" music...
-And no, I like the 90s-00s version of Bowie better than the Bowie of say, 70s...
-And yes, David Bowie is one of the few living legends of truly artistic ways
My name is Hulkaros and I'm a David Bowie and Apple fan!
PS.Some of the best Bowie stuff out there are:
-Bowie Live At The BBC2000 CD
-The Best Of David Bowie DVDs and CDs
-Heathen

I love all types of music, notably Jazz, and electronic. But I would really like to add that some music composed for video games is really good. Take Chrono Trigger for example. I think video game music is underappreciated. The Japanese orchestrated CD of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was awesome!

Habilis, I enjoyed listening to your audio project very much. I'm a total Brian Eno fan, so you can imagine I liked much of your audiowork.
If I had one criticism to make, I'd say the drum patterns are the weak parts of your tracks (for those who have one obviously). The drums don't sound as great as the rest of your instruments.
I think you would probably enjoy Patrick O'Hearn, if you see this name in a record shop, just give it a try

toast: thanks. yeah the songs I have up there aren't to complicated in the drum sequences, it's all work in evolution. And about your favorites, FSOL is awesome I almost forgot about them, Dead Cities is my favorite album if I was forced to choose, also, the 2-CD Selected Ambient Works by Aphex Twin is my favorite. I also just remebered how much I love Meat Beat Manifesto, very intelliegent ambient, you might like it..
omegaman:
OK Computer is a perfect 10 album, I love radiohead.

2. dj marky (jungle, with a funky brazilian flavor)
3. pretty much any jungle or drum & bass.

all kinds of music is tight for me right now, i haven't listened to a lot of country lately but in the car the only station i could get was a country one and i discovered it really isn't that bad. rock/hip-hop and rap (especially the old stuff)/alternative/dj mixes/ and just about anything else. I don't really know the names of music but one of my best cd's now is linkin park - reanimation. I just got a counting crow's cd and its real good stuff... and how can you not like sean paul or eminem ( his new single is real good - sing it? can't find the cd it's on though)? I just wish I had more time to listen to music... I have way too more then I could ever listen too. I want an iPod! Cd's are a pain to carry and use.
coldplay is real good, tupac is a real good listen, on the rock end a lot of the pop rock, system too, I wish I could find the xecutioners album but haven't seen it lately; it looks really good...

Tool 'Lateralus' is produced by David Botrill from King Crimson. Few people know the connection between both groups. But there is one for sure !
Habilis, 'Dead Cities' was the first album of FSOL I discovered, compltely perchance. It's a 100% masterpiece. Songs like Quagmire, In a State of Permanent Abyss, etc., are the exact continuation of Brian Eno's ambient work, with better technical material and a new reflexion about sampling that Brian Eno did not have. His work stays, however, milestone #1 of all ambient/illbient/experimental music.
Best Aphex Twin of all time: Drukqs (2CDs) and maxi EP 'Come to Daddy', which includes one of his best songs, 'Bucephalus Bouncing Ball' ! His 'Classics' are great too.
Meat Beat would have appeared on my list if I had made a top 5 for each category
