At the moment, for some reason, I'm listening to the South Park movie OST on loop. Without the crappy remix tracks. I think I'm trying to memorise the lyrics for whatever reason.
Bit of Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Nirvana, Beethoven. There are some rare grassroots hip-hop numbers which I really appreciate. Ennio Morricone is excellent. The Sex Pistols, the Jam, I'm bored of lists.
Its tiresome trying to list or define what music you like to listen to. I will just throw my 2 cents in and say that for the most part, I listen to anything I feel has musical, emotional, technical, brutal skills and feeling. With that said, I listen to a heap of things from some dance and drum/bass to J-rock/J-pop to rock to utterly brutal death/technical/grind/black metal.
I used to be so very narrow in my reasons for liking music and sticking to one genre but eventually I grew some musical maturity and learnt to listen to songs I appreciate for the art that they are rather than what category they fit in. I'm far past saying "If its not [genre] it's shit!"
And a few random album recommendations
Pendulum - In Sillico (dance/drum&bass)
The Prodigy - Invaders Must Die (theres a lot of shit but like 3 or 4 brilliant songs)
Alestorm - Captain Morgan's Revenge (lololol pirate metal)
Unexpect - In a Flesh Aquarium (wierd creepy strange folky carnival gypsy death metal)
The Prodigy - Invaders Must Die (theres a lot of shit but like 3 or 4 brilliant songs)
Abso-bloody-lutely. Fighter Beat (especially), Omen and that Hospital track are ace but I can't listen to the full album. Some tracks are painful! Just found an old backup CD with Carmen Queasy on, its by one of the Prodigy bunch. It's all very good
I second all the Neil Young/classic rock recommendations. I wish I had more exposure to Frank Zappa.
A friend recently made a mix CD of the 20+ years of Slayer for me, and I'm digging it.
I listen to The Dead Kennedys regularly. Also, Sonic Youth (either their very old or relatively new stuff) and a band called The International Noise Conspiracy; their live show from the Oslo Jazz Festival is a true keeper.
A friend of mine does live music show recordings here in our city, so I hear a lot of local music thanks to him. Some local standouts for me are Heroin U.K., Bad Liquor Pond, The Degenerettes, and sometimes Arboretum.
Anyone ever hear of Focus? Here's a live taping of one of their most famous songs, with the tempo amped up. Truly unforgettable song that I'll not likely forget:

I agree the album was really hit and miss. I think of all tracks I really dig the title track, Omen and Black Smoke (simple but has a good beat). It doesn't really overall feel as layered and done up as some of their older stuff, some of the songs are just terrible loops of crap. Ah well
