WAB music!!

[Fourwings]

When I'm on WAB I always have cordless headphones on so I can listen to great music whilst enjoying my fav website. It helps me to concentrate without the distractions of the TV, X-box, PS-2 etc.... blasting in my ear, plus my family all hate my choice of music

I was just wondering if anyone else out there does the same?

Purely for interests sake I am currently listening to the new album by Evanescence called "The open door", quite honestly the best album that I have heard in the last 5 years

[Boddie]

I am downloadoing that album as I write and am mostly listening to Bjork, Stone Roses, Harry Connick Junior, Depeche Mode, Eva Cassidy at the moment.

Nice

I used to like depeche mode, their early stuff, esp A broken frame. These days, I like everything from classic fm to iron maiden, just depends on the mood.
This evening I will be mostly be listening to tangerine dream..........

[matt_xyz]

the last Depeche Mode album (Playing the Angel) is surprisingly good. I've recently been listening to a band called Porcupine Tree. Very good IMO.

I mostly listen to DP's remixed stuff. They are the most remixed band in history and I like all the genres available. I must have in excess of 1,000 DP tracks, everything from dub to drum and bass

[eeyore]

I currently have head banging rock playing - not the most restful music to wab to but it suits the mood , so far tonight the playlist has included saxon - wheels of steel, motorhead - ace of spade , deep purple - smoke on the water , black sabbath - paranoid and back on the streets, the killers - mr brightside , Kaisers - I predict a riot , strangely the artcic monkeys -, which I dont remmeber putting on the mP3 player , Guns and roses- Welcome to the jungle, and sweet child of mine, and currently Sacred Reich - Surf Nicuagura

[Fourwings]

I can also reccomend System of a Down,trivium, my chemical romance and of course my all time favourites Pink Floyd.

Perhaps now you can all see why my family hate my choice of music, I'm just an ageing headbanger I guess

What a brilliant group Evanescence are. I have already downloaded 47 of their previous tracks and like Boddie I am downloading the Open door as I type this up.

What a voice Amy Lee has. One of the best rock females i have ever heard.

Yeah I used to play bass (and yes thanks I have heard all the bass player jokes already) so I like a good guitar tune , (ive got "another brick in the wall" on here somewhere )

I was in a band called translucent aardvark - unfortunately the name was the best thing about us - we were a bit like the quireboys , who themselves were a bit of a one hit wonder with "hey you" but without the talent, our biggest gig was 40 or so drunk rugby fans who showed their appreciation by showering us with beer bottles

[Deer Stalker]

For me its Guns n Roses, Metallica, Pantera, Megadeth, Trivium, Disturbed, Limp Bizkit (for wes's riffs), Slayer, System of a Down, Mudvayne, & other heavy stuff that I can't think of right now, Jimy Hendrix, Pink Floyd.........

[matt_xyz]

blimey there's a few metallers around here

my tastes are more indie than metal. Anythig along the lines of The Smiths, Suede, Cocteau Twins, to Faithless and Air. I also listen to some classical these days. Must be getting old...

Matt

[Lincs Yellowbelly]

I don't really listen to music whilst i'm on the computer, but i listen to plenty when i'm not. As well as trying to play some on the guitar

At the minute i'm mainly listening to Kasabians new album which is mega, Shoot the runner(nxt single) is awesome Also play Arctic Monkeys and Oasis, as well as some old stuff like The Beatles and T-Rex

Yop

Good choices there Matt. I am not into metal at all. I just dont get it.

Have been listening to The Smiths a bit lately too. Different calibre

[Boddie]

Who do you guys use to download anyway?

[matt_xyz]

I use Itunes quite often and still buy CDs from time to time. In fact I'm probably 50:50 between downloads and CDs. There's something about having an actual CD that I can't quite shake off...

Matt

[Boddie]

Yep I know what you are saying. Nothing like having the original CD. I tend to download via thepiratebay.com for the rare stuff that I cant get in the shops. I hate overplayed commercial music, so am always looking for remixes and piratebay is ideal for this

[Lincs Yellowbelly]

My thoughts exactly Matt, i've never downloaded an album, i love going an buying the CD

Well again. I like the Leftism CD but prefer the bonus tracks CD. I have had some great nights with this album

I actually have both leftism and their other one (whatever that was called) and two faithless Cds - I'm not just into metal although I was always more of a rocker than a raver - it kinda goes with having a bike (not that I do anymore thanks to a muppet in a mondeo a couple of years back)

I also have two chemical brothers CDs and a couple of full on dance mix tapes by my mate Si's bro DJ Marley - "In deep space ..... abandoned ... any crew.... negative" and the Working week No paseran mix - a sort of dance protest song about the then situation in nicuragura - no paseran is spanish for they shall not pass and was sampled from el presedentes address to his people

I'll listen to all sorts depending on my mood - I'm going to a Dvorak, rachmaninov, and profokiev oboe recital next week ....

[Boddie]

Yep I listen to allsorts and love the likes of Eva Cassidy when the mood suits. Sunday mornings mainly. Just chill out, sit back and sing away.

Is this Magners any good by the way?
