Favourite music artist?

Alice in Chains, and lots of others...I like almost any metal band.

2pac...I'm into a lot of different music though.

Incubus, coldplay, Bon Jovi, Montgomery Gentry, SHeDAISY, Allison Moorer, Melissa Etheridge, Sarah McLachen, Loretta Lynn, Jo Dee Messina, etc.

Right now my favourite singer is Emilie Simon, a french artist.
I don't know how to describe her music, alternative electronic maybe?

You can listen to some of her clips here:


These are my favourite songs at the moment:

FROZEN WORLD
(Film-music from the original (not english) version of The March of the Penguins. All of the songs is from Emilie in the original btw.)
CLICK ON: FROZEN WORLD and then: "Listen to Emilie Simon - The Frozen World - Just..." ) This is the only way the link will work...

If that does not work, try this link:

TO THE DANCERS IN THE RAIN
(Click title!)



P.S- Has anyone else heard about her?

Nope, but some of the songs are pretty good, sort of trip hoppy. Fleur de Saison is great - too bad I don't understand French... 🙁
Reminds me a bit of Stina Nordenstam (http://www.stinanordenstam.net/html/media.html) and Anja Garbarek (http://www.anjagarbarek.com/).

Trip hoppy alternative electronic? That's my favourite! 🙂

Welcome back btw, haven't seen you in a while...

So the two of you are twins! I knew it! 😛 Nice hat btw, Quixote! 🙂

Thanks for the links cLavain! There was actually a lot of resemblance between Emilie's music and this Stina Nordenstam! Cool!

P.S -It's never too late to sign up for a french class you know! :wink: Vive la France!

Oh thanks, it came with the dress, fall/winter 2006 collection by Armani

radiohead, elvis costello, sigur ros, bjork, the stooges, boards of canada, manic street preachers, nirvana, beck.

Ooooh... tricky... I'd have to say that Queen & Pink Floyd definitely rock my boat, but Jimi Hendrix, Nine Inch Nails, The Doors, The Cure, Muse, Placebo, The Who, King Crimson, Rush & many more are way up there, but I should probably shut up.

Thanks, your taste in music is obviously very sophisticated. Unless you meant it as a joke...I'm not entirely sure now that I think of it... :lol:

Btw, I can't believe we chose the same avatar independently! 8O

No problem. "This Is Stina Nordenstam" is her best album in my opinion, the others are a bit uneven. On the album she sings two duets with Brett Anderson from Suede too, which is another band I really like. Sorry, I could go on forever about music... 😳

No, I was DEADLY serious 😉

Well it wasn't a fully independent choice, let's say I took some inspiration from yours... but I'm back to my old one now as you see. I couldn't stand wearing that ridiculous hat any longer... 🙂

As I have previously been "complaining" a little how there seems to be few options in terms of christian music, I just had to post this little treasure I just stumbled upon in a music-shop here the other day. Maybe some of you have already heard about them, they're called:"Leeland" and musicwise could be put in the same category as Coldplay, Keane, Travis etc...



Here is their homepage:

I particularly fell in love with the song "Tears of the saints".
You can hear the whole song + a few others here:

Tears of the saints (Youtube)

I listen mainly to metal: Lamb of God, Metallica, Hatebreed, SlipKnot, Soilwork, Killswitch Engage, Disturbed.

But, just edging out Metallica is The Offspring. Punk was my first love and they're the reason. I just love them.

Squarepusher

Tops for me is a tie between Blind Guardian and Type O Negative.

AC/DC!!!!!! on my 18th birthday i even got ac/dc tattood in my rist lol <3

Genesis! Pre-1977 especially ^_^

My favorite artist is Adele. I would listen to her when I'm happy or sad.
Also Avril Lavigne.

David Cook. His music always cheers me up. 🙂
