I've been really impressesd with some of the musical diversity found here on the island, and have enjoyed sharing my own music with other.

the following link should display the profile for my mp3 player.

I usually listen to screamo, heavy metal, or hard rock. My favorite bands are too numerous to list, but they include Senses Fail, Aerosmith, Disturbed, and Led Zeppelin.

Heh, I was a fan of Aerosmith for a long time [was even part of AeroForce One for a bit], I'm actually going to the concert down here. [Actually....I've been to a few of theirs, some being one with KISS and Motley Crue.]
Good times.

Uh, anyway, most of what I listen to can range completely different.
One day I might wanna listen to orchestrated videogame music [Yes, I know, that's weird, but bear with me.], the other day I might wanna listen to....Gorillaz or Aerosmith, then sometimes I'll listen to really upbeat bouncy stuff, or something slower and relaxing.

*scratches her head in confusion* This is usually why I don't like talking about what type of music I like, it's too damn complicated.

Have a 'paste my taste' from lastfm

Hell, since I took a break from coding about an hour ago I've just been mooching on 8BitCollective and hearing some damned good stuff...

@CMJ Whoa. That first one is good.

My taste in music is... diverse. The only major limitation is that I often tend to like music with vocals more, while having a slight dislike of hip-hop. And a slight antipathy against what I consider mainstream music. (Which sometimes oh-so-suddenly turns into a Hey, they're not THAT bad attitude after really listening)

There is Metal and Rock, which is kind of my favourite genre, and scatters of a wide variety, going from Pop over Classic Music and Gothic and D&B and Austropop and Ambient and Grunge and so on. Which doesn't equal to that I will listen to everything, but that I am experimenting quite a lot.

Some of my favourites are: Seether, Wir Sind Helden, Skindred, Daisy Chainsaw/Queen Adreena, Jeans Team, Bloc Party, Kittie, Korn, Greenday, and Mötley Crü. Those are currently on my playlist. And Life's Decay. A lot..

Speaking of 8bit music, check this out. It's an 8bit cover of Paranoid by Black Sabbath.

ADELE
Albert Kuvezin

*shame* It is like picking a favorite child to save from a burning house when I put music on my hundred twenty gig iPod. There is not enough room on there. I'm going to cheat! Here are some artists/bands/whatever who've come up on shuffle in the last day or two:

Fleet Foxes; Eels; Dr. Dog; Fleetwood Mac; Led Zeppelin; Bon Iver; Heart; Jefferson Airplane; Jennifer Warnes & Leonard Cohen; Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young; Passion Pit; Pogo; Kanye West; Lewis & Clarke; Soko; Calexico; Simon & Garfunkel; Belly; Grizzly Bear; David Bowie; MGMT; Cream; Live; Handsome Furs; The Futureheads; R.E.M.; Blitzen Trapper; Natalie Portman's Shaved Head; Queen; Ray Charles; Dan Deacon; Anais Mitchell; Godspeed You!

Oh My!; The Rapture; Michael McDonald; The Go! Team; Haydn; The National; Andrea Bocelli; Bell; Why?.

And I.. I like mash-ups.. *shuffles feet* Those are really hit or miss, though. There are a lot of bad mashes floating around the Internet. Let's see, shall I ruin some songs for you?:

Freelance Hellraiser - A Stroke of Genius (The Strokes vs. Christina Aguilera)
Along Came Jones - World Maps (Daft Punk vs. Yeah Yeah Yeahs)
ABX - Drug Drug Kiss Kiss (Chris Brown vs. A.C. Newman)
ABX - Flirt (Shoreline) (R. Kelly vs. Broken Social Scene)
Lobsterdust - Pussycats Gone To Heaven (The Pixies vs. The Pussycat Dolls)

Also, I'm guilty of stitching together a sort of soundtrack of songs that match the first arc and a half of the story Sessine and I have been hammering out on the Island.

And I'm with Sicpuess on that first link you posted, CMJ; that Thom Yorke redo is pretty a whole lot of good!

Headwater
Beach Boys
Beatles
Gorillaz
abba
flanders & swann (funny songs!)
Gilbert and Sullivan
Johnny Cash
Ricky Martin
Eagles
Israel Kamakawiwo'ole

and a bunch of other random songs of which I'm not entirely sure of who wrote them...

As I said, random.

*draws out correlation* Yeah, figures. Island full of loons, playlists full of diversity.

To Z: That metaphor scores pretty high. Children. Somehow interesting how the collection altogether is compared to a burning house, orphanage. But then! Miss Tisty saves the day! By rescuing the dog.

*silently puts the ABX mashes in a loop*

@B: Yes well, at least someone else is going through the oh god, I can't even begin to TURN SLEEPYHEAD OFF phase with me. *mourn*

Orchestrated video game remixes ftw.

Here's my Pandora station, which may or may not contain songs I actually enjoy, but is a close facsimile at the least.

I had to tinyurl it, it was some huge nonsense jumble. Also: if it doesn't work, I can probably fix it.
