I enjoy Jazz fusion.

"Hippo hop! Ooh yeah, baby!"

Man, I forgot one of my favorite bands; They Might Be Giants.

The Blood Brothers are my numero uno banda. Hear me out: it's delicious avant-garde punk, wrapped in wildly abstract lyrics, sprinkled with child-like yet madening vocals, and topped off with irregular instrumentation and synth. Deniable? I think NOT.

Queen, Chicago, The Beatles, The Eagles (their new album is pretty sweet), Led Zeppelin, The Carpenters, ELO, Johnny Cash, to name a few.

I have a very beautiful synthesizer. It makes incredible, incredible noises. I'm not usually too materialistic, but this device is under my very close protection.

:D

I saw Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey play in a high-end furniture boutique last night, along with some other people playing in different buildings down the street. They were all good, but I liked JFJO the best. They were simply amazing.

I like mainly rock, although I don't listen to too much "real" music. I do, however, have an extensive collection of video game tracks and remixes. Metroid Metal is definitely one of my favorites. Also, the song "Mr. Roboto" has been stuck in my head all day. Don't exactly know why, but I kinda like that song, so it's not that bad.

EDIT: By "real", I mean music you'll hear on any typical radio station, the kind that non-nerds listen to.

I've learned in the past year I started driving that not all radio stations are terrible. Just the Top 40/"Hit music" stations. One day I fidgeted with the radio stations at a stoplight that took forever to change and was able to create presets of actually good stations on my car's radio system:

WQCD 101.9 (A smooth jazz station, unfortunately it doesn't come in quite clear as it is based in New York City, which is far away from me)
WBAB 102.3 (A rock station that I usually switch to if I'm tired of listening to what's on my iPod)
WALK 97.5 (Adult contemporary station, I just like it 'cause it has a much bigger variety than its sister station my sister likes)
WUSB 90.1 (College radio station, no specific genre. It's owned by Stony Brook University, a school I plan to transfer to after this year at Suffolk Community)
WLIR 107.1 ('Nother rock station. This has stuff that's a bit more modern than WBAB.)
WLIX 94.7 (Underground. Don't switch to this one very much, but what I hear from it is pretty nice.)

Exactly what the heck is "adult contemporary" anyway? That has got to be the most annoying classification ever.

Vidgmchtr · « **Reply #41 on:** November 10, 2007, 12:44:59 PM »

According to our friend Wikipedia, "Adult contemporary music, frequently abbreviated AC, is a type of radio format that plays mainstream contemporary popular music, excluding hip hop, hard rock, some teen pop music, and rhythmic dance tracks, which is intended for a mature adult audience, especially for people who are 16 and older."

Mostly, the one I listen to doesn't play much modern stuff, it usually has stuff from the 80s and 90s, stuff like light rock, etc. Like WLIX, I don't switch to it often.

Chupperson Weird · « **Reply #42 on:** November 10, 2007, 11:58:43 PM »

Yeah, that description really doesn't make it any more clear. It must be some nondescript fuzzy genre composed of people like ... I don't even know who. Michael Bolton?

Ambulance Y · « **Reply #43 on:** November 11, 2007, 12:11:20 AM »

I don't like genres. Genres seem to set limits on what people do musically.

Chupperson Weird · « **Reply #44 on:** November 11, 2007, 01:18:44 AM »

I completely agree with you. Regardless, a lot of people do try to make music that fits into certain genres. Which makes stuff like "adult contemporary" all the more baffling.
