What kind of music do you listen to?

[Jordan~]

What about when referring to an infant or quoting natural speech, as opposed to addressing some supposed sweetheart?

 

[Dissident]

Come on, you know what I mean, dont be fussy

 

[fullerene]

Singer/songwriters, other indie artists (or ones that were previously unknown, like sufjan) and a cappella stuff are such a huge chunk of mine... but none of them are even in the poll.

 

[Wisp]

I personally like Barenaked Ladies and The Vanity Project.

 

[Jordan~]

Come on, you know what I mean, dont be fussy

Then a song entitled "Baby Birch" with the line "Be at peace, baby, and begone" repeated four times is acceptable, while a song that begins with the line "Babeh, babeh, babeh" is not?

 

[ElectricWizard]

But what if it's a song about babies? (There have been some, such as Devin Townsend's 'Babysong'. Which is surprisingly pretty good, though the rest of the album is, IMO, better.)

 

[Dissident]

... nevermind...

 

[Wisp]

*Congratulations! You killed Dissident! You leveled up! <Logic +1>*

*Dissident wasn't even fighting, you are now a Player Killer*

Um musical tastes!

I like different genres of music all over, and more specifically, I like technical music of most types. I didn't like rap music at first before I heard Outkast and Cex who actually do it pretty well, and now I have a respect for many of those people, especially since it pulled me over to Drum 'n Bass which has some sweet harmonic tunes with underlying bass beats. All sorts of electronic music have I come to appreciate. Rock, Metal, Punk, Classical, Funk, Jazz, generally with exception to most Pop music, there's always something good to listen to in a genre. Recently I've been diving into chiptunes, and monotonik and 8bitpeoples have been flooding my playlist.

So what do people think of Brian Eno's ambient music?

[Loraella]

I am quite obsessive/fanatical with my favourite music. My favourites are:

Héroes del Silencio
Enrique Bunbury
Siouxsie & the Banshees
Dead can dance
Epica
Elis
Lacrimosa
Tristania
Macbeth


I wanted to post this in the other thread about favourite music but it disappeared after being posted @__@ So I'm coming to here instead @_@

So what do people think of Brian Eno's ambient music?

http://fora.tv/2006/06/26/Will_Wright_and_Brian_Eno

I listen to the song "An Ending (Ascent)" over and over along with a few others. There is something about it that almost makes me feel like I am out of my body. I really like ambient music but I never know which ones are best.

Along with "An Ending (Ascent)" I also have these in a playlist together that I listen to over and over again (among others):

Deep Blue Day - Brian Eno
23 Lies - Death in Vegas
Dirge - Death in Vegas
La Mer - NIN
God Moving over the Face of the Waters - Moby
My Weakness - Moby


Also, I really dislike country music, but it is the only genre I strongly dislike. I noticed it is the lowest on the poll. Is it typically objectionable to INTP ears, and if so why? Maybe it just doesn't get much play outside of the US.

 

[Dissident]

Yay someone mentioned some bands in spanish!

Do you know Soda Stereo?
La Ciudad de la Furia
De Música Ligera
Juego de Seducción
Ella Usó mi Cabeza Como un Revolver

 

[Agent Intellect]

hip hop doesn't seem to be too big among INTP's either. its my music of choice, i wonder if thats more of a culture thing, though. i don't much like country music, but i'd say i have respect for it as an art moreso then mainstream hip hop (aka R&B) or pop music.

hip hop and country are similar in a lot ways. they both use a relatively simple rythm/ rhyme scheme (although i'm into more complex sounding hip hop then most people here have probably heard) and they both talk about where they're from a lot.

 

[stercusaccidit]

I tend to like post-punk and punk fusions. I really like the energy and attitude of punk, but as a genre by itself, it's way too simplistic. Post-punk, though-- Gang of Four, The Slits, The Pop Group, Talking Heads, Joy Division (if I'm feeling depressed)-- is really interesting. So are fusions: Gogol Bordello (gypsy punk), James Chance and the Contortions (jazz punk), Mano Negra, Manu Chao, Balkan Beat Box, DJ Shantel...

And yeah... Also not a fan of country or mainstream hip hop, but am okay with more complex hip hop (I have a friend who really likes it, and I do too, although not to the same extent). People tell me I'm a snob because I actually kind of detest country, but I can hardly help it...

 

[Taylored]

I have a very hard time finding music I enjoy. For this reason, I tend to listen to a lot of the same songs over and over. I recently purged my entire ipod and loaded it with every Yann Tiersen song I could get my hands on. http://www.last.fm/music/Yann+Tiersen

I cannot say I have a specific genre that I enjoy. I could probably find something to listen to in most genres, but I tend to stick with instrumental... anything without lyrics, preferably piano and violin combinations.

I will try these when I have more time (now I don't, cause soon I'll have to go to my next lessons.) I know their song Té para tres, that's a nice one. And I also have one of their albums in my comp, but I have heard it only once so far. Thus I don't even remember the songs from it yet.

 

[Loraella]

I'm back going to see them now... Are you from Argentina Dissident? I also know from there the band Rata Blanca, but by them I've heard only two songs. And I also really like the song Mariposa Technicolor by Fito Páez but after hearing some more (it was one of the newer albums I think) I didn't enjoy them so much.

 

[Dissident]

Yes, I am. Fito has some nice songs, but yeah, not all. Al Lado del Camino and Tumbas de la Gloria, for example, I like.
However, my favourite bands are foreign

 

[krisa]

Macbeth

i love them!

i'm into metal, rock.. - mostly
but i also like everything else, EVERYTHING but rap - which isn't music anyway.

 

[Agent Intellect]

EVERYTHING but rap - which isn't music anyway.

how so?

 

[Legionnaire]

I listen to a variety of differet genre's. I mostly listen to hair metal. Don't really care much for rap or screamo.

 

[Seducer of the Homeless]

erm...

Big Punk Rock Fan (have been since age 5)
Metal(Particularly extreme forms, but must have some melody)
Prog rock/Metal and experimental stuff
Some Classical/soundtrack work

overall relativly typical of most INTP's (judging by this forum and that INTP's have interesting and eclectic tastes anyway)

 

[Sop Rizzle]

Rap, mostly, but various other stuff, too.

 

[Seducer of the Homeless]

I like Yes, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Uriah heep in terms of prog rock.

punk- anti flag, rise against, nofx, dead kennedys, bad religion, the clash, the offspring, rancid, the dead pets

metal- maiden, priest, cradle of filth, megadeth, metallica, slayer, dissection, death, emperor, immortal, kalmah, wintersun, dream theater, symphony x, nightwish

classical/soundtrack- danny elfman, hans zimmer, shostakovich, hector berlioz, beethoven, bach

 

[Madoness]

Only folk music is behind hip-hop?
**** pop music and trance or tecno and all of that simple ****. But why is hip-hop here almost the last? Hip-hop is not 50 cent of eminem only. There is a difference between hip-pop and hip-hop, and much do not know about it.


It's bigger than religion...hip-hop (Erykah Badu - The Healer)

 

[Carinthian]

Meh, same for me. But I also dislike most of the "popular" music in slovenia. The dread.

 

[FacetiousPersona]

Classical and rock music.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

I like a bit of everything except most commercial music. And a bit of that too.

 

[LucasM]

The Swans are a neat band I recently discovered.

 

[Seducer of the Homeless]

Just realised that Dream Theaters Systematic Chaos is not only the best DM album, but the second best prog metal album. behind Opeth Ghost Reveries and just ahead of Symphony x Divine Wings Of Tragedy

 

[FF]

I'll listen to pretty much anything EXCEPT COUNTRY!

But I absolutely love darkwave, industrial, rock, electronica, house...things like that.

 

[Ermine]

Really? I'm still more a fan of the older Dream Theater albums. Don't get me wrong, I really like some of the songs on Systematic Chaos, but as a whole, it seems kind of unorganized. My favorite DT albums are

Awake
Images and Words
Scenes From a Memory
Systematic Chaos
Train of Thought
Octavarium
6 Degrees of Inner Turbulence
Falling into infinity

Mind you, these are all closely tied and this is only studio albums.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

I never really 'got' Awake for some reason. Sure it's good but it's not...

I'd place Images & Words and Scenes From a Memory on top of my list. And also, Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence if I could exclude the second disc, which sucks.
The best recent DT effort is Octavarium, in my opinion.

I would say that Octavarium is one of DT's worst efforts (apart from the title song). Awake is one of the hardest DT albums to get into, but one of the most rewarding I find. What on earth do you find wrong with Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence (the song)?

What do you mean by 'DM album'? And check out SFAM and Awake...

 

[zxc]

A band I've recently discovered is Elend, a neoclassical / dark ambient band. I've been liking their first album, Leçons de Ténèbres, quite a lot, although I've only heard their first three albums so far.

 

[Seducer of the Homeless]

DM? fuck, DT

i have all the albums

 

[Ermine]

Awake is one of the hardest DT albums to get into, but one of the most rewarding I find.

It seems most people simply overlook it. I did too, until a year or so ago. The more I listen to it, the more I love it.
