I have strange tastes in music and have been known to listen to teenage pop stuff occasionally. I shall just warn you all now…. 
I have a few that I use to work with on the computer, usually really late at night with the volume turned down low so as not to annoy the neighbours.
Les Miserables – the soundtrack to the Liam Neeson film. It is great if I’m writing ghost stories. For some reason it sounds really creepy.
Cirque de Soleil – the soundtrack to their show ‘Quidam’, which I bought because it was the show I worked on, but it is good background music.
Queen – a made up minidisk of Greatest Hits I, II and III
Enya – ‘Paint the Sky With Stars’ – I think it’s a greatest hits album. Got it for Christmas. Wrote my fantasy novel whilst listening to it  (and sitting on the floor in a poky flat in Highgate. I had no computer desk )
The Rasmus – ‘Dead Letters’, though I am starting to get bored with that.
20 Great Soprano Arias – el-cheapo CD I bought somewhere but it’s quite good.
The Beatles – ‘1’, another greatest hits thing. For some reason though it always cheers me up if I feel lousy.
That’s not 10, is it?  But those are the ones I tend to shove on to have as background if I’m working.

Ah, The Rasmus.
I Love Them So Much.
I've actually based a few fics on their lyrics.

 Must say, I listened to this a lot, too, when I first saw the ep.
Wow! you all listen to a lot of soundtracks. I rarely do ... hmmmm.
1. Can't seem to get Kris Delmhorst Songs for a Hurricaine out of the player. "No more weathervane, I'm gonna be the wind" ... "Baby you're no train, you're the track" ... "The lightning bugs and the whiskey, make tonight a little risky"
2. And also Neil Finn Try Whistling This: "I don't know why you're so confused, You're flesh and blood, there's no excuse"
3. Sting The Soul Cages: I often go back to this one, and lately for 'The Wild Wild Sea': "That night, as I walked in my slumber, I waded into the sea strand, And I swam with the moon and her lover, Until I lost sight of the land.' He's a horse's ass but does write beautiful lyrics.
4. Johnatha Brooke Back in the Circus: "Listen how my heart beats inside me, the story of a thousand better days." Very cathartic.
5. Big Head Todd and the Monsters Crimes of Passion, an autographed copy! mostly because we recently saw them live and they ROCKED and I'm trying to draw out the experience.
Mostly I go for singer-songwriters, with a side of Rock 'N' Roll, depending on the mood. Every now and then I just have to reach for the Airplane and play it LOUD. Other perennial favorites include Widespread Panic, Richard Thompson and Francis Dunnery.

I'm glad someone else can admit they listen to John Denver (but he's not on my cd changer at the moment).
Now I can admit I actually listen to Neil Diamond - Hot August Night, no cd yet, but is on the tape player in my bedroom.

I was always going to start a thread like this, but strangely enough, I haven't had time to answer this thread until now.
As for my music tastes, I'm first and foremost a classic rock and heavy metal chick!  But I do like all music, except for the MTV crap (you know, Britney and her friends) You will find everything from Johann Sebastian Bach to Iron Maiden to ABBA in my CD collection (which is pretty big, I must say).
As for favourite 5 CD's... now that's a tough call, since it's changing every time. But here are 5 I've been listening to a lot lately:
1. Nightwish: Once. This is a Finnish metal band with a female opera singer, and this is probably their best album so far (imo).
2. Metallica: The Black Album & Ride The Lightning. I was never a huge Metallica fan, but the last year I've been listening to them a bit, though mostly their older stuff. - BTW Metallica came to Iceland this summer and had a concert, and I went there, and had a great time! Probably the biggest rock concert ever to be held in Iceland (so far).
3. Orphaned Land: Mabool. This is an Israeli metal band; they mix together metal and traditional Israeli/Arab folk sounds. Very cool. 
4. The Who: Tommy. I always love this album!
5. Evergrey: In Search Of Truth. A Swedish metal band.
As for my favourite bands, they're so many! Here are some: Rush (anybody here who likes them?), Queen, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, The Who, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Yes, Saga (a Canadian band), Electric Light Orchestra, Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, Enya, Nightwish, Dream Theater, Rhapsody (an Italian band)... and so many others. I'm sure I'm forgetting some...
But in general I like rock, blues, classical, jazz, folk music and world music. I just love music!

Oh, Nightwish! The one band my younger sister and I both quite like. I saw one of their videos on a music channel and became entranced, they're so... different to anything I've heard before. And I listen to some weird stuff, so that's saying something. Helps that the lead singer is an absolute babe, to be blunt.
And since you like Rhapsody as well, any chance I've found a fellow Blind Guardian fan? It's Tolkien rock music, people!

Ahhh, Blind Guardian. I forgot them  Actually I have only heard a little bit of their music as of yet... I have only some mp3's of theirs in my computer, but no CD yet. But I'm working on it... A friend of mine is going to get me "Nightfall in Middle Earth". Can't wait to have it!
There are actually quite a number of Tolkien-inspired metal bands out there, but unfortunately (?) most of them seem to fetch their inspiration in the "darker" side of Middle Earth... I'm talking about bands/artists like Amon Amarth, Burzum and Count Grishnakh. Mostly black-metal stuff (and no, black metal is NOT my thing!)
But Nightwish... I love them! I have most of their albums (not Century Child though, not yet). And yes, Tarja is a cutie. But since I'm a straight female, that's all, hehe... |
