in the shell

am i the only one who listens to melo death metal???
or metal itself?
i also listen to EBM, gothic rock, Industrial and other electronic stuff.
like N.I.N.

I used to listen to Ministry (even the pop-80s version! and up through Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Taste), Skinny Puppy, NIN, etc. That was all on the tail end of my punk days, back in the early 90s ... * sniff ... nostalgia * Further back it was bands like The Clash, Sex Pistols, Dead Kennedys, 7 Seconds (and, to totally wipe out any cred I had as a punk, I liked Duran Duran and Nena as well ... have you ever tried to mosh to "99 Luftballons"?).

I'm even more accepting of many, many types of music now, but I tend to get stuck on one or two.

My taste covers many types of music, from opera to ethnic. The only music I have tried but can't listen to is rap, no offense to anyone that loves it. Well, that and some very heavy songs from my country.

Some faves are:

Sarah Brightman
Nightwish
Rammstein
Enigma
Deep Purple
Rainbow
Scorpions
POD
3 Doors down
Linkin Park

The list goes on...Opera wise the most favorite is Madama Butterfly.

I can't listen to GITS music because everytime I start I end up wanting to watch it

actually yes. It was quite fun. And check this out for awesome.

It's a Japanese band singing 99 Luftballons in German.

Oh ... that's great!!! I like the way they subtitle what they're saying--in German!

Makes me want to go find the original Nena video ... I can't even remember it at all.

Cool! Never thought anyone would say yes to that one ... but did someone almost go through your front window? (Really poor planning, having a mosh pit next to the front window. Must have been fun to watch for passers-by, though.)

... Now I know why I couldn't remember it I was thinking it was a cool "story" video following the lyrics, but it's just her and her band playing the song in a field. Darn.

Isn't that an anti-war song???

Yup, anti-Cold War, although it could also be seen as an anti-nuclear weapon song.

(Now that we've been talking about it, this song has been stuck in my head all day ... thanks, everyone

Macross Plus soundtracks have real gems on them.

Yes yes! I adored those; chased them obsessively when I was 17

I think Akino Arai's "Voices" on those CDs is a beautiful song. I love "After, in the dark ~ Torch Song", "Pulse" and "Santi-U" as well on those OSTs. And "Borderline" (okay, so all the Sharon Apple/Myung songs). And apart from all the great dramatic orchestral "flying" music, I really like the piano track, "More than 3mm" (I think that's the one; must go back and check that).

Though many wouldn't suspect it, I mainly listen to ROCK and METAL, though I like anything so long as it's got a decent tune to it. (This is why rap is far from my favourite.)

Currently absolutely loving R.E.M.'s new album. It's a real trip back to the late 80s and their best material.
