Poll: Your Music Library

[Do4600]

* What musical styles make up the majority of the music you own?
* Is this a good indicator of your musical preferences?
* What kind music do you wish you had more of?
* Is you collection mostly digital, CD or vinyl?
* How much of your music have you seen live?
* Anything notable that you've seen live?
* What acts would you like to go see?
* What gigs do you wish you could have been at?

The majority of my music is rock and roll and alternative, but my favorite types of music are verging on experimental, Zappa, Captain Beefheart, Tom waits, Mr. Bungle, Igor Stravinsky and such. The only archetype of music I really don't have a complete album of is country western. I really enjoy all sorts of music, my playlists usually go something like this:

Rachmaninov, Symphony No. 1 in D Minor (Op. 13) - Grave - Allegro ma non troppo (Svetlanov)
The Beatles, Dear Prudence
Daedelus, Just Briefly
Ultramagnetic MC's, Give The Drummer Some
Led Zepplin, Ramble On
Marvin Gaye, Ain't No Mountain High Enough (Feat. Tammi Terrell)
Primus, Tommy the Cat

I'm always looking for good experimental cross genre; I just found Secret Chiefs 3 and I'm flipping my shit over how good Second Constitution and Book M are. My collection is mostly digital, I have over 50 cds though, mostly of stuff I couldn't get through a digital service.

It could just be my taste in music but at many of the shows I've been to I've felt like a tourist. Just because I enjoy the complexity of Gojira doesn't mean I'm at home at their concert. Music concerts, at least the ones I've been to, are about submerging yourself in the culture surrounding the music rather than pure enjoyment of the music. Because of this I find music festivals a lot more fun than individual concerts. Also, many of the groups I really have a burning need to see live are disbanded or dead. Case in point, I wish I could have seen the Live Aid concert especially Queen at Wembley Stadium July 13th 1985.

 

[piinyouri]

* What musical styles make up the majority of the music you own?
-Mostly various sub genres of metal.

* Is this a good indicator of your musical preferences?
-Yup.

* What kind music do you wish you had more of?
-More electronic(using it as a catch all term), more good pop music, more punk/punk rock

* Is you collection mostly digital, CD or vinyl?
-Mostly digital. I've begun taking steps to replace my digital library with physical media though.

* How much of your music have you seen live?
-One band.

* Anything notable that you've seen live?
-As above, I've only been to one concert. It was Godsmack/Metallica for my 18th birthday. It was pretty amazing.

* What acts would you like to go see?
-Warbringer, Symphony X, Wintersun, Orphaned Land and Pagans Mind immediately jump out in my mind.

* What gigs do you wish you could have been at?
-Right now Kreator, Warbringer and Overkill are touring together. Would absolutely kill to see that show.
That aside, I'd love to check out some of the bigger festivals, like ProgPower, Bloodstock, and Wacken.

 

[Khazidhea]

About 11k tracks, though if I had a good cleanup I'm guessing it could fall to around 8k. My top picks that make it to my portable devices amount to roughly 1.6k

* What musical styles make up the majority of the music you own?
Symphonic metal/Female fronted metal

* Is this a good indicator of your musical preferences?
For the most part yeah. The rest of my top tags from last.fm are: gothic metal, power metal, rock, instrumental, christian rock, soundtrack and trailer music

* What kind music do you wish you had more of?
Female fronted Christian metal. There's not much out there, and even less that matches what I like

* Is you collection mostly digital, CD or vinyl?
Digital, though I also still buy CDs

* How much of your music have you seen live?
Not much, due to living in Australia. Have seen Nightwish twice, plus The Birthday Massacre and Linkin Park, but that's about it.

 

[Dirge Eterna]

I have about 11,00 songs total.


* What musical styles make up the majority of the music you own?
90% Metal and a lot of its variants. Hard Rock, Industrial and some oddball 80's, 90's stuff thats weird but I like it.

* Is this a good indicator of your musical preferences?
Indeed it is.

* What kind music do you wish you had more of?
I am always looking for more metal with clear vocals. I find that I can't get into music as much if I don't understand or can clearly hear the lyrics.

* Is you collection mostly digital, CD or vinyl?
I have a couple hundred physical CD's but I ripped them all into a digital format, in the last 5 years about 95% of all my music has been entirely digital.

* How much of your music have you seen live?
Quite a lot of bands. I have been to over 100 concerts easily and those are only big name bands. Seen hundreds of smaller bands and up and comers.

* Anything notable that you've seen live?
I got to see Metallica on my 21st birthday in Germany and go back stage and meet Kirk and Jason. Seeing Rammstein before they were popular and afterwards in the big arena shows. Iron maiden, The original lineup of Black Sabbath and with Dio. Saw a full blown riot erupt at an outdoor festival and a few bands that ended up performing their last shows shortly after or that was the last show.

* What acts would you like to go see?
Slipknot- I have had tickets to see them 3 times and didn't get to see them. Once they were at a outdoors festival in Kansas City when they were just breaking out and they wouldn't play because the stage the promoters had set up wouldn't support the weight of all their kit and them. 2nd time I was driving to an Ozzfest and our car broke down on the way, by the time we got there I was able to hear the last 2 songs of their set as we were waiting to get in the door. 3rd time I was going through a divorce and my ex thought she would get back at me for some trivial thing I did by destroying the tickets I had. So yeah paid for 3 show tickets and saw them zero times....

 

[kayo of the Well]

i. avant-garde, jazz and noise
ii. certainly
iii. hip-hop and new wave have always been a pretty big gap in my vocabulary
iv. digital, with a few records and a bunch of CDs
v. not very much
vi. Boris, Earth, Lasse Marhaug, Oren Ambarchi, Swans, Godspeed, Mono

library is 18,756 tracks, 141.16gb

 

[purf]

The numbers:
Items in my MP3 folder: 3962
Amount of vinyl records: about 4/5ths of one standard Billy shelf (one layer, including my girlfriend's)
CDs: uh, a good boxfull.

What musical styles make up the majority of the music you own?
Probably EDM. Or is it IDM? Electronica? You know, this [http://somafm.com/cliqhop/] + that [http://somafm.com/digitalis/]

Is this a good indicator of your musical preferences?
Yes. No. This collection woefully underrepresents how much I also like a lot of music which needs no electricity.

What kind music do you wish you had more of?
see above. Singer/songwriter stuff. Plus some Hip Hop/Rap. But Spotify (even the free account) covers this so far (insert rant about atrocious advertising)

Is your collection mostly digital, CD or vinyl?
mostly digital, duh. And I'm tempted to do something with my CDs that results in them being 'away'. The ones I (still) care about are high quality mp3s already.

How much of your music have you seen live?
No idea. Couple. Not too many.

Anything notable that you've seen live?
Massive Attack was fantastic. Intoxication was involved. Faith No More (I'm somewhere on this [http://www.metalstorm.net/bands/album.php?album_id=43978] rather obscure recording)

 

[Chromatic Aberration]

This thread is rather simple, but I was curious of a few things:

* What musical styles make up the majority of the music you own?
* Is this a good indicator of your musical preferences?
* What kind music do you wish you had more of?
* Is you collection mostly digital, CD or vinyl?
* How much of your music have you seen live?
* Anything notable that you've seen live?

EDIT: A lot of people haven't managed to see anything, so here is are questions to include you guys:

* What acts would you like to go see?
* What gigs do you wish you could have been at?

Winamp currently says that my library encompasses 7669 tracks. However that does not include my classical music as I haven't bothered to clean it up a bit and make up a decent tagging scheme - that should be about a thousand tracks to add. Also I've got a rather large folder with music lying around (about 4000 tracks) that I haven't bothered to check through properly as of yet plus there is...

Spoiler: A list of far too many bands that I need to properly check out, some of which I already decided that I need to buy stuff from them. The ones I am not entirely sure I'll like them are in brackets...

...which if you bothered to click on it should have made obvious that I listen to, well, everything really if it's good. Historically my focus is on metal, punk/rock, game music and classical pieces. For instance Blind Guardian and The offspring are two of my eternal favourites, as is Tchaikovsky and Yasunori Mitsuda - the composer behind the soundtracks for Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross and Xenogears. Lately (as during the last 3-5 years) I've been busy expanding my horizon into the experimental with bands such as Kayo Dot, Mr. Bungle, The Secret Chiefs 3 or Estradasphere plus I've delved into even more different genres a bit like electronic, ambient and some hip-hop pieces. As such, my music library is a broad panopticon of different stuff and kind of reflects my interests well enough - besides still having to include all my classical pieces that is

However, what I've noticed recently is that I really do love Jazz influences and, sadly, I don't know of too many good Jazz artists or jazz pieces, so that is what I'd like to have more in my library. I'd also always like to have more cool avantgarde stuff, prog-rock and music that couples classical influences to rock or metal without getting cheesy.

As for the format, I want all my music to be easily accessible, so if I buy something on a CD I pretty much immediately rip it and convert it to mp3. I don't particularly need physical copies except from some bands that I feel need more recognition and that I want to be able to listen to in case of a car that I cannot connect my mp3 player to.

Spoiler: Now, I've seen some live performances of bands/music in my library, but those are too few

* Opeth
* Dream Theater
* Unexpect
* Bigelf
* Long Distance Calling
* Nevermore
* Blind Guardian
* Secret Chiefs 3
* Danko Jones
* Bullet For My Valentine
* Svartediket
* Sahg
* Trivium
* In Extremo
* Korpiklaani
* Various symphonic game music concerts
* Various classical music concerts

Spoiler: I would imagine those here to be a blast, though.

* The Protomen
* Machinae Supremacy
* Daikaiju
* Estradasphere
* Kayo Dot
* Symphony X
* The Offspring
* Die Aerzte
* Diablo Swing Orchestra

So, that should have done the trick....

Also, you get a kudos for your username alone......

I have roughly 10.5k tracks, plenty of which are ripped from CD's. However. I've been listening to more pandora, spotify, and youtube stuff over the past couple of years, so that's slowed my music accumulation process.

I'm mostly a classic/alt rock guy, but only barely. I listen to a lot of electronic stuff (haven't bothered to waste brain space won learning all the genre and sub-genre names), a lot of video-game and movie soundtracks, a lot of classical (Stravinsky's a favorite, so's Josquin Desprez), and quite a bit of punk, metal, jazz, bluegrass, and assorted folk/folk-rock stuff. Not much country or hip-hop, but I'm open to both.

All of the electronica that I listen to is on streaming things, so I don't actually have any in my library. Otherwise, what I listen to is what I own. Except for the 4000+ songs by Frank Zappa that my uncle gave me that I've barely listened to.

I wish that I had more of everything, but especially folk (although I'm hesitant to use this label, since some of the stuff that I'm talking about probably fits into other genres) and electronic music. My library suffers in these areas, and I'm forced to the internet.

My collection is all digital, although I think I do have a few CD's floating around. I also listen to my dad's vinyl collection fairly often.

I've seen a lot of alt rock and classic rock groups live that are in my library, but I still haven't seen most of my library live. Going to random shows and getting their music is one of the main ways that I add stuff to my library, but these days I do it on Spotify.

I saw a show from the Who's recent Quadrophenia tour, and I also saw Roger Water's the Wall show, both of which were very notable to me. They were both very good, but neither quite lived up to the actual albums, which are among my favorites.

Most of my dream shows require a time machine to the 1960's or '70s, but a more realistic goal is to see as many of the Zeppelin guys as possible (Plant down, Page and Jones remaining). I also really want to go to a QotSA live show.

 

[purf]

snipping of nice stuff

I'll help you remove some brackets

Mouse on the Keys & Contemporary Noise Quintet - I think I plugged those two around here a couple of times
Sparklehorse - hit and miss for me, but when it hits it really does
Explosions in the Sky - forgot to add stuff like this to Music I Don't Have Enough Of
Jack White - Why not?
Primus - or at least Too Many Puppies. Everyone needs this.

Well, thanks - guess I'll take some time to listen to those in particular in the near future. Chances also are that I actually heard Mouse on the Keys & Contemporary Noise Quintet because of you then - the list is essentially compiled from various sources which also includes every other music thread I stumble across around here.

EDIT: I feel inclined to add that after listening to a playlist of Mouse on the Keys I'm certain that I'll get myself some of their music....many thanks once again

 

[FFP2]

I have around 3500 songs... on my phone. It would be more but 32GB only gets you so far.

*What musical styles make up the majority of the music you own?
-I listen to everything except dubstep and hardcore rock. From DMX to Taylor Swift. Kyary Pamyu Pamyu to AC/DC.

*Is this a good indicator of your musical preferences?
-Generally it is. I tend to heavily favour lyrics over beats. You'll never catch me listening to 2Chains no matter how much it bangs.

*What kind music do you wish you had more of?
Right now it's more Jpop (because it's almost always a happy song) and underground rap (the BET nominations left me craving for some real music). Those to types are a ***** to get a hold of though. I don't do Itunes either so it's even harder.

*Is you collection mostly digital, CD or vinyl?
Mostly digital but only due to physical space constraints. I prefer physically owning something.

*How much of your music have you seen live?
None. The artists that tour here are usually the ones that I hate. We had Justin Bieber a few days ago for example.

*What acts would you like to go see?
I would kill to see Lupe Fiasco, Nas or Kid Cudi live. I've watched a couple of their gigs online and their energy is amazing. Also Japanese stuff. I'm really interested in that Vocaloid stuff.

*What gigs do you wish you could have been at?
Any of the above artists. I also wish that I could go to Cochella and Woodstock.

 

[TheTim]

Im sitting at about 1500 songs in my itunes music library, probably 1300 of those are country music.
most of those are through physical copies of cd's i already own.

 

[Vicarious Reality]

I have no bloody idea how many songs i have laying around

* What musical styles make up the majority of the music you own?
Extreme metal and Trance

* Is this a good indicator of your musical preferences?
uhhh why would not it be

* What kind music do you wish you had more of?
Extreme metal and Trance

* Is you collection mostly digital, CD or vinyl?
I do not have a vinyl player... i have about 50 or 150 cds here, and probably thousands of digitoll songs

* How much of your music have you seen live?
None

* Anything notable that you've seen live?
No

* What acts would you like to go see?
Bolt thrower, Shpongle, Talamasca, Nile, Alice cooper, Miranda, Ajattara, Melechesh, Styrofume, Overseer, whatever

 

[Kevlar Eater]

* What musical styles make up the majority of the music you own?

Primarily female-fronted metal.

* Is this a good indicator of your musical preferences?

With the less than stellar stuff that's on the airwaves and top charts with just about everything sounding the same in my ears, I say yes.

* What kind music do you wish you had more of?

More death metal, something in the likes of Hate Eternal or Deicide.

* Is you collection mostly digital, CD or vinyl?

100% digital.

* How much of your music have you seen live?

None.

* Anything notable that you've seen live?

Like I said, none.

* What acts would you like to go see?

Stuff involving The Agonist, Within Temptation or Unbreath.

I dunno how to answer that question.

 

[Angie7F]

Rock, metal and J-POP

* Is this a good indicator of your musical preferences?
Yes.

* What kind music do you wish you had more of?
Anison

MJ I guess.
Also AKB48 graduation of Maeda Atsuko.

Any of my favorite rock artists.

* What gigs do you wish you could have been at?
Ozzfet 2013

 

[5-0]

Hooray, I love music threads.

* What musical styles make up the majority of the music you own?

Rock and metal. Nearly everything I listen to falls into these categories, or straddles the line between them.

* Is this a good indicator of your musical preferences?

Yes.

* What kind music do you wish you had more of?

Quieter, acoustic stuff, for when I don't want things to go all the way up to eleven.

* Is you collection mostly digital, CD or vinyl?

Mostly digital, however I have been buying a lot of CD's in the past few years. I'd say I have about thirty. All my CD's are ripped into FLAC, with the rest being mainly MP3.

* How much of your music have you seen live?
Not much of it, simply because I have a lot of music, but I love live gigs. I've seen Paradise Lost, Ghost, Gojira, Tenacious D, Foo Fighters, Biffy Clyro, Wishbone Ash and an acoustic Devin Townsend set.
Also I just missed out on seeing Tenacious D again in December, cause the darn thing sold out so quickly.
I feel I've been very lucky; a lot of my favourite bands play little clubs in my town and the surrounding area. I would have seen Baroness last summer, until their bus accident on the morning of the day I was going to see them.

* Anything notable that you've seen live?

I've seen Gojira twice within the space of a year. Amazing live band.

 

[Tuesday Night Fever]

I voted 7000+. My dad was a drummer, and we always shared our music with each other. Between the two of us, our music library is... absurdly large. We actually built a room onto the house that I grew up in for the sole purpose of storing our music. The room was completely filled years ago, and now we've started storing stuff in boxes. Easily thousands upon thousands of CDs in addition to thousands upon thousands of vinyl records. I'd say that the majority of it would be defined as classic rock, but honestly, we're all over the map when it comes to represented genres. Only genres we don't particularly care for are rap, electronic, and honestly... most new music from the past ten years or so regardless of genre.

 

[Launcelot111]

I'm at 7945 songs, or just a hair over 3 weeks of music.

* What musical styles make up the majority of the music you own?

Mostly noisy alt-rock stuff with splashes of classic rock, blues, jazz, goofy rap, and synth pop.

* Is this a good indicator of your musical preferences?

If I collected these songs, how could it not be a good indicator. In other words, yes

* What kind music do you wish you had more of?

Blues and good woman-fronted bands.

* Is you collection mostly digital, CD or vinyl?

Probably 80% CD, 15% digital purchases, and 5% free mixtapes and compilations. Used CD stores are the bomb

* How much of your music have you seen live?

About 10% or so, it's a little tricky when you have lots of older bands.

* Anything notable that you've seen live?

Saw the Pixies perform Doolittle in full. Also Elton John. Past that, just smaller bands I like.

* What acts would you like to go see?

The Pogues before Shane MacGowan dies of alcohol poisoning, or the Flaming Lips

* What gigs do you wish you could have been at?

My friends in college randomly found themselves at a house party where Fountains of Wayne were playing for some reason, and they went back to the band's hotel room and watched them do coke. I'm still not sure how I missed being there as well.

 

[Johnny Impact]

10,104 songs as of now.

*Styles?
Soundtrack and Electronic are the biggest entries. Electronic is pretty broad, though. I should rethink my classification.
Rock, World/New Age, Indie/Art-Rock all strongly represented.

*Good Indicator of Preferences?
Also-rans: Hard Rock, Grunge, Blues, House, Alternative, Electronic, Reggae, Classic Rock, Synthrock, Goth, Folk Rock, Atmospheric, Avant-Garde, Zydeco, Dream Pop, Oldies, Punk, Metal, Industrial, Trip-Hop, Surf, Experimental, and others.
It's easier to list what I don't like: rap, country, bubble-gum oldies, and radio pop.

*What Do I Wish I Had More Of?
Money. I'll buy anything that piques my interest.

*Digital/CD/vinyl?
Have about 200 CDs. The vast majority is digital.

*What Have I Seen Live?

Spoiler: J Geils

These guys have incredible energy. Probably most of you are into younger, angrier acts, but believe me, Peter Wolf and crew just about leveled my town.

Spoiler: Richard Thompson

Another example of "you had to be there." Some performers can keep you mildly entertained for an hour or two. Richard Thompson can turn summer into fall, and pull the stars from the sky.

Spoiler: Leo Kottke

The miracle isn't that he plays like this for two hours straight. The miracle is his fingers are still attached after.

I need to see The Birthday Massacre, Loreena McKennitt, and Cowboy Mouth before I die. Cowboy Mouth in particular. A friend of mine explained their live shows like this: "On a bad night they'll tear the roof off the place and on a good night they'll save your soul." Yes, please.
