Musical Tastes

[Jdragon213]

I liked your videos before this, but I'm subing simply for your musical taste

[enhanceUK]

Eclectic... Nice!

[Thrashaero]

check out ulver some time. very acquired taste but some songs are really good at first. also xploding plastix is very good too. both are former black metal artists but now make some very unique, interesting electronica. but they're both from norway and possibly the black metal appreciation background gives them an interesting edge.

[Thrashaero]

i like a lot of metal; gothic, doom, thrash, etc, except for the hardcore and power/glam type stuff...but then i got kind of into the electronica bit as well as jazz at the same time just recently. i've always been generally liked jazz and techno and stuff if it was of particular taste, but i just never got into them fully like i did metal and now i'm starting to listen to it more. some of these electronica artists are crazy good, but then again, I wish they played instruments instead of vinyls.

[sjconrad]

And your stereo systems have been FANTASTIC to listen to, u make me jealous. :-)

[askegg]

My current system is let down by the room acoustics and the amp. Wish I still had the ME :(

[superhappyjen]

Back in Black is my 2 and a half year old's favourite song.

[ThatDumbChannel]

I like the oldies better, even though I'm 18. I love The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Doors, Rush, Steve Miller Band, AC/DC... I know some of them aren't that old, but to me at least, most of them were popular before I was even born. Then again, "old" is only based off of one's own age.

[fakeham]

You ought to check out amon tobin, he makes some good electronica/ trance type stuff.

[blackchaosblood]

ORION Is awesome!

[Knukleheada]

aren't you a little too old to listen to metallica

[askegg]

There is an age limit?

[raistlin072]

ORION is one of my all time favorite songs!

[Paxmax]

ASKEGG!

Hmm... sounds a bit like my flavour, It's also all over the place but always finds it roots in electronic music.

My recomendations for you to checkout:

Junkie XL -albums: "Saturday teenage kick" and "Radio JXL: a broadcast from the computer hell cabin"

Conjure one -album:"Extraordinary ways"

anything from Chemical Brothers(but you already know 'em)

Apollo 440 -album: "gettin high on your own supply"

Thank you!

[Paxmax]

If you like it hard, rough and exciting go with Junkie XL "Saturday teenage kick" album, tune "underachievers" total kickass tune.

If you want something a bit softer and really sweet go with conjure one.

[askegg]

Thanks for the recommendations. I have heard some of Junkie Xl's stuff - will have a closer look.

[riversonthemoon]

Excellent selection! A lot of those names bring back some memories. I've got most of them, so I'll definitely check out the ones I don't have.

I also bought my first CD before I had a CD player. It was Cypress Hill's Black Sunday. My tastes have evolved quite a ways from there now. Listening to guys rap about how tough they are an how they regularly kill people in cold blood lost its appeal at some point.

Cheers again for the recommendations.

[flyingfisbeefilms]

Metallica - best is Nothing Else Matters!

[stulogic]

Great selection mate. Seems almost as eclectic a taste as mine! Kudos for ACDC, but it begs the question... Bon Scott or Brian Johnson era, which is best? Being as he comes from about 5 minutes from where I do, I gotta go with Brian!

[askegg]

My favourite album is "Highway to Hell", so I will have to say Bon Scott.

VoodooSixxx :)))

[VoodooSixxx]

thanks man, ill be sure to check out your tag as well.

[askegg]

NP.

I do reply to most requests eventually.

[patienceking]

dudebro, this is more helpful than you know. I spend most of my listening time on winamp radio, and when something really epic comes on, I frantically record the precious sounds. As a result of years of this, I have hundreds of 1-2 hour DJ mixes, and I don't know who the hell actually made the music I'm loving so much. Your Artist/Album rundown finally put some names to some of my fave sounds.

It took me 4 years to track down µ-ziq's Phiesope and 3 to find Solar Fields-Small Little Green Cubes.

[askegg]

I feel your pain. Shazam for the iPhone can identify some songs, but it's mostly aimed at the top 100 which are widely known already, so what's the point?

[StrangeGlobal]

Thanks for this one my friend! And yes - I'll do it :)

[askegg]

Of course you will :)

[BaileysBeads]

Crystal Method is awesome. Have you heard the song they did with Filter; 'Trip like I do'?

[askegg]

Oh yeah Big fan. I have all their stuff.

[Rhysz1]

Jarre, A fellow fan? And rock!

Regards,

Rhysz

[askegg]

Jarre? Yep, for the longest time. A friend of mine saw him live in London and said it was the most awesome thing she has ever been to.

[ILYIAB]

No vinyl? Feel young!

And I'm pretty sure the "e" in "Jarre" is silent. At least he doesn't pronounce it himself.

Excellent taste I have to say. Cheers mate!

[askegg]

Yeah, no idea why I pronounced it "JarrE". Oh well.

[TexAtheist]

LOve your selection in music Andrew. You got me turned on to Timo Maas. Love that song from your why im an atheist video (I think it was).

[askegg]

"High Drama" from the album "Pictures". Incredible track.

I recently found he work with another guy under the name "Mutant Clan". Their recent track "Inside" is fantastic.

That website is awesome for finding new music. They have a leveling up system that's fun. Give it a try, or not. I'm currently addicted to it. Lots of great unknown talent with free downloads. :)

[Michigan1985]

Oh, and I'm 24 and have yet to buy a CD. By the time I started getting into music, napster was invented. ;)

[askegg]

I have not a CD is a long time either. Beatport, iTunes and bit torrents have done away with physical media.

[adrenacrumb]

herbie hancock is great.

[erehwon80]

Great tastes... I pretty much listen to the same things you do!

[askegg]

You obviously have great tastes :)

[erehwon80]

Ha ha. Yeah! Master of Puppets is one of my fave Metallica songs even...

I did wonder what your musical tastes were as I watched your vids, and I kept thinking "I like this!"

[Pyram1dH3ad]

Interesting

[wickedclowncop80]

FIRST BITCHES!

[askegg]

What is it with the whole first thing?

[TexAtheist]

You should make it a habit of deleting people's first posts... Just to get their goats!
