HAHAHAHAHA

Pretty much everyone listed mainly classic rock, those responses are too safe. I'm going to make a post that's worth ridiculing. Ahem.

Barry Manilow, Hall and Oates, Wham!, ABBA, The Police, Sade, Nat King Cole, Engelbert Humperdinck, Buddy Holly, Herman's Hermits... the list goes on.

Edit: I can't believe I forgot the masters: Tom Jones and Bobby Goldsboro.

Hey, I admitted to being a Yanni fan.

 

[Beelzebub]

well I said "pretty much"... you don't fall under that

 

[Metal Immortal]

TOOL
Porcupine Tree
Rush
Pink Floyd
Alice in Chains
.....Metallica
Arcturus...? (They are too fucked up to be called metal, I'd say)
Dead Soul Tribe...
Deep Purple
Queen
Radiohead
Seven Mary Three

Obviously... I am a little shakey about whether or not some of these should be in this list because of one's definition of "metal", which is so broad that I just try not to even use it anymore (unless I'm talking to somebody who knows jack shit about good music). Except Metallica. That was a joke.

 

[v01c354nd51gn5]

yeah im in the drumline, so that stuff, lotsa jazz, smooth jazz, fusion, classical, rap sometimes, country sometimes, funk, death metal, metal metal, black metal, some power metal, piano stuff like alicia keyes sorta stuff, only the keyboarder in me and meedley's band does it waaaaaaaaaaay better than ol' alicia. im prolly forgettin some stuff.

 

[OfSinsAndShred]

Wow. So much.

Tons of classic rock, such as:
LED ZEPPELIN, my personal favorite.
Deep Purple
Floyd
Van Halen (fuck Hagar)
My God, all of the classic rock stuff's good.

Jazz:
I'm really into Wes Montgomery and Joe Pass. Starting to find more artists and stuff, like Coltrane and Miles.

Other rock stuff:
RATM
Pearl Jam

There's tons more, but these are the ones I'm REALLY into - I was a rocker long before I was a metalhead. And a lot of classical stuff, but I think everyone likes a little bit of classical, so I'm not gonna mention all those guys.

 

[Freyja]

other than metal?..i like traditional native american chant, Sami music (from the native peoples of finland)

 

[Rose Immortal]

HAHAHAHAHA

Pretty much everyone listed mainly classic rock, those responses are too safe.

Hey, I admitted to Loreena McKennitt...I'm surprised nobody's picked on that yet.
