Is there any one else here who is into goth rock, punk, IDM, industrial anything non-pop like that? Where I'm from every tg person seems to feel like they have to assimilate into pop culture so i always have trouble finding any one in our community that i get along with.

:icon_headfones:
kewl i love 80's rock. Siouxsie and the Banshees are the greatest im also a big Cure fan altho they started in the 70's. its good to see im not completely alone here ^_^
:) I was listening to some Dead Milkmen just yesterday. Love Bitchin' Camaro.
If You Love Somebody, Set Them On Fire is also a great song by them. ^_^
I all kinds of music as well. My all time fav is the Cranberries, crnked to the full. Then at the other end I like Enya and fall apart listening to Alison Krauss.
Yesterday it was Pat Benetar and then Cradle of Filth. Gotta keep the coworkers guessing. ;D
I listen to a lot of electronica, techno, industrial, and symphonic/industrial
Stephanie Craxford ~ The cranberries are great. I haven't heard them in forever. I am going to have to track down that cd.
LostInTime ~ lol im sure Danny filths voice alone is enough to confuse everyone you work with.
VeryGnawty ~ Are you more in to like ebm or like the gritty skinny puppy type of industrial? Personally i like it all. Im also a huge fan of idm music and i like some trance to.
hey april your music tastesw are cool
QuoteVeryGnawty ~ Are you more in to like ebm or like the gritty skinny puppy type of industrial?
Any, really. I just like industrial, and also techno, styles.
I really like Children of the Monkey Machine (http://silenthillbbs.dyndns.org/cotmm/index.htm).
And also Aetherius (http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=75335) (which the composer self-describes as "symphonic-industrial")
I like quite a variation, but mainly Rock, Punk, Indie and Emo.
um, well, I'm mostly into punk, ska and 80s. there are some artists in goth, industrial, synth-pop, rock, metal and pop that I do also enjoy. I love, love, love 80s hair metal. I confuse people when I actively switch from Korn to Tori to Depeche Mode to KMFDM to NWA.
All right I'm going to come out of the closet, I will not be ashamed of who I am. My name is Brandi
AND I LOVE DISCO.
Yes I said I love DISCO.
I will now hang my DISCO ball up in the open and show my pride
And now if you will excuse me Saturday Night Fever is on ;D ;D ;D

I've grown tired of so called "classic rock" since most of it has been played to death.
Some pop is good so I like to keep my ears open for new sounds. Also like Ani Difranco alot and chick music in general especially heavy loud punkish stuff like Sleater-Kinney (who are playing in Madison next week--yeah!). Jazz, classical--especially Schubert at the moment.
Try not to limit myself but can't really get into country.
Cailyn

- Echo and The Bunnymen
- Joy Division
- Psychadelic Furs

I like everything from pop to hard rock, from Elvis, Beatles, Queen, Bananarama, Def Leppard, Smokie, Tina Turner, Bon Jovi, Scooter, Boston etc ... to Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton, if I'm in the right mood than I listen even the Mozart and Beethoven sometimes.

I like the Residents - and Reznor's work with David Lynch is cool.
I only like 'pop' when it's a masterpiece kinda thing. (Which, like anything else artistically, is a rarity.)
The earliest truly industrial-type o' thing I know of is a piece called Deserts by a guy called Edgard Varese from like 1961, or was it 1954. (This was a little bit before sampling) The factory 'noise', real factory, tape cut up into rhythmic stuff, integrates with the orchestra, and several spots (I only know this from looking at the score) it's all orchestra, sounds THE SAME.
There is a thing called Weasels Ripped My Flesh, The Mothers of Invention live in Birmingham (now that's Industrial) 1969, that is the harshest assault on an audience u can imagine)
sorry U said 'anything non-pop' lol
Anything but rap , jazz, and pop country!
I go for bluegrass, punk, ska, reggie, rock, metal, opera, classical, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 00, big band, blues, folk, etc...
My musical tastes changes by the hour and definitely keeps people guessing, but thats what makes it fun!

Some fantastic music selections above,
Personally I love Punk, Hard house a bit of acid techno Particular favourites are The Dead Kennedys, New York Dolls, Patti Smith (Her 2004 album 'Trampin' with the killer track 'Radio Baghdad' is gut wrenching heart stoppingly good.) The Sex Pistols. Peaches (Her new album out early July called "Impeach my bush" if it's anything like 'Father->-bleeped-<-er" it should be good. Dutsy Springfield Nirvana and I love Edith Piaf Woody Guthrie blah blah blah. Henry Rollins spoken word is superb though that's not strictly all musical. Errr............................and loads of other stuff, open to most things I think EXCEPT pop.
Kate.
Boy, I like lists like this.
Industrialish:
Absurd Minds, Ministry (Rio Grande Blood is really really good, I was very surprised), venetian snares (the best thing to come out of canada musically in a long time besides . . . GY!BE), NIN, Marilyn Manson (yeah, lost some credibility there).
Dance:
Alabama 3 (country-fried pretty acid-house, sounds like a horrible concept but it's really good), lisa lashes, DJ Tiesto, nasenbluten, Aphex Twin, Autechre, Boards of Canada, richie hawtin, invisibl skratch piklz
Metal & Punk (ish). I don't know if it's goth, but . . .
Between the Buried and Me, Tool, Bikini Kill (awesome), Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Rammstein, Dead Kennedys, Faith No More (& Mr. Bungle)
Rap:
Public Enemy, Geto Boys, Atmosphere, Handsome Boy Modeling School
Classical that's good, to me.
Beethoven, Purcell, Arvo Part, Hildegarde von Bingen
Some jpop stuff is good (malice mizer deserves a 2nd mention) . . .
That's some of it. My co-workers listen to AC/DC and Christian rock, usually, so I come across a little odd at work.
i listen to mostly, alternative, rock, punk, metal and alternative rap. [none of that gangster stuff..well maybe some tupac depends on the song lol]

feel free to start some!
i played guitar in a punk band up until last year, er, the year before i guess. some of my younger friends have been turning me on to some new music that i hadnt heard before; lacuna coil out of italy (thanks simone!) and something called egypt central or something. meh, they might not be new bands but they are new to me
egypt central, from TN? ya they are good. So is lacuna coil.
Ya should check out if ya haven't already know them, Flogging Molly
about making threads.. i might just have to lol
i also enjoy dropkick murpheys. but i havent seen them live. ive seen flogging molly. it was an awesome show.
a few more of the celtic punk genre, i also like real mcKenzies, mahones, swingin utters, and the tossers, know any of them?
i believe they all do :)
Classical - I have this thing for late 19th century French composers, late romantic or impressionists I guess they're called. Camille Saint-Saëns, Eric Satie, Maurice Ravel, Debussey (Au Claire de Lune!), Dvorak any of those guys with exception of Mahler whom I loathe. Oboe concertos, pretty much all of them.
80s - You should been there! OMD, Men at Work, The GoGos, B-52s, Depeche Mode, DiVinyls, Blondie(and their 21st century reincarnations the Ting Tings), Culture Club, Madonna, Pet Shop Boys, Bangles, Duran Duran and so much more.
90s and beyond? Ani DeFranco, Lucinda Williams, Alanis Morissette, Cowboy Jumkies, The Donnas, Aimee Mann, Death Cab for Cutie, Joan Osborne, K. D. Lang, Staind ...
Current Fav , Emily Jane White
besides the classical.. the rest sounds pretty pop-ish. being this is a nonpop thread :P
Most of the artists are very lyrical and that is what I most value. The 80s stuff was what I was partying and dancing to. I got over hard rock in the 70s. One screaming guitar sounds much like another regardless of the decade it was played. The only group you mentioned that I've even heard is Flogging Molly. Alternative bands are a lot of whiny boys in my opinion. You listen to opera for a while and that stuff starts to grate. I forgot to put Puccini on my list
Hmmmm...
While I do seem to be developing a rather alarming love of commercial dance music ( ;D ), I somehow can't see myself ever bopping to Britney. Outside of the horrors of pop though, I have fairly wide-ranging tastes. I love classical music, along with ethnic and traditional stuff from Ireland, France and most of the rest of western Europe. I of course LOVE Enya, Clannad, Loreena McKennit and the like. Eclectic post-punk and fusion stuff like Faith and the Muse is amazing. Cernunnos and The Chorus of the Furies, both by Faith and the Muse, are two of my all-time favourites.
Apart from those though, my tastes are decidedly harder. I grew up with Grunge, Alt-Metal and Nu-Metal, and Linkin Park and Disturbed remain two of my favourite bands. Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden was a defining point in "The Soundtrack of my Life", and A Perfect Circle's Pet another.
More recently, I have fallen in love with Gothic and Symphonic metal, and even indulge in an occasional bit of Death or Doom. Favourite bands include Within Theatre of Tragedy, Epica, Tristania, Temptation, Lacuna Coil, Amorphis, Leaves' Eyes, Angtoria and Nightwish. I absolutely adore the self-indulgent despair of Anathema. ;D
As for the above-mentioned love of dance, at least I stick to stuff with a bit of pedigree. I know pretty-much every song VNV Nation has ever done, word for word, and I have really taken to E Nomine. I'm listening to Rotersand and the Cruxshadows at the moment, and rediscovering Depeche Mode.
Un-pop enough? :P
~Simone.
PS. My pleasure Tash. Try Angtoria. AWESOME!!!
I listen to everything from Henry Purcell to Rob Zombie. Anything except Jazz, Modern R&B (80's and beyond) and Hip-hop. Not too keen on most Country either.
But my very favorites would be Classic Rock (Queen, The Beatles, The Who, Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Cream) and Folk (The Minstrels of Mayhem, The Poxy Boggards, Simon and Garfunkle, some Peter, Paul & Mary.)
Quote from: Claire de Lune on July 07, 2008, 10:58:46 PM...any of those guys with exception of Mahler whom I loathe.
Ah, Mahler 2 is sublime!
Mit Fluegeln die ich mir errungen
werde ich entschweben!
Sterben werd'ich, um zu leben!
Aufersteh'n, ja aufersteh'n
wirst du, mein Herz, in einem Nu!
Was du geschlagen
zu Gott wird es dich tragen!This is one of the best conclusions to a symphony ever, IMO. It would belong in the hope-inspiring songs thread if it were a regular song.

Michael Tilson Thomas, the music director/conducter of the SF Symphony, is recording all the works of Mahler. I've a great deal of exposure to him and he doesn't do it for me.
