What's your current music "obsession"

[Dimensional Vortex]

Not really into any music right now, I can't stand metal/screamo music, not can I stand stuff with a bunch of pounding base which shakes things around it (it makes me nervous) also I can't stand stuff with a bunch of gratuitous swearing either. So my selections are fairly limited, I don't mind Weird Al except I haven't listened to him in months so I'm not really into anything right now.

tool, damn, someone who says that tool aren't geniuses is a damn moron and probably deaf.

Agreed, I heard some of them on my friend's iPod, I'm gonna look around and try to get my hands on their music...

I've been listening to AC/DC for about 19 years and I still can't get enough of them, seeing them live in June was the greatest moment of my life. I don't know what it is, those guys have got to be the most talented musicians to ever grace God's green Earth. Also, I saw Rage Against the machine at the same festival and I can't stop listening to them now; exactly the same as Steel panther.

This sentence (in any wording) always irks me. Not because of the religious part at the end, if that pissed me off I'd be a complete douchebag.
Take the drummer for instance. I've heard about 30 AC/DC songs now, and in very few of them does he use a different beat than the standard 4/4 rock beat. Hi-hat on every beat and half beat, kick on the first and third, and snare on the second and fourth. Crashes go in every now and then, of course. That's simple. Anyone can pick up drums and have that beat sussed in a week at most. That's not talent. Take the Shelter Red drummer, for instance.

That is a talented drummer. It takes a hell of a lot of practice and skill to get a beat like that working in your head, and manage to play it live and still hit every beat perfectly. The guitar track in that song is pre-recorded, so the drummer isn't even setting the beat, he's matching to it.

Ontopic... I'm listening to almost nothing other than Crossfade at the moment. Especially Make Me A Believer.
Should be pretty obvious why. xD

Anamanaguchi, the chiptune band, have really woken me up in some ways. Otherwise, I generally listen to the decent Dance music of Daft Punk(Discovery is my favourite) and Justice, even if I've listened to some general rock in the past. Recently though I'm getting into Overclocked Remix's Final Fantasy works, and I'm also on the hunt for Deftones and I Fight Dragons.

Justice, justice and fricking justice.
they have such a wide range of inspirations that you never know what they are gonna come up with next, from the radio friendly D.A.N.C.E

I do not have the words.

Most recently? I've been getting back into my Barenaked Ladies collection. Damn they are so awesome.

But over the last two months or so, I've been listening to four artists almost nonstop: The Black Keys, Daft Punk, Minus the Bear and the Gorillaz. All so very good. Definitely check them out if you haven't already.

Just wanted to say that your avatar wins everything. So awesome.

At the moment i'm on something of a classic bent, i'm mostly listening to the piano sonatas of the major composers as the piano (and other keyboards such as the harpsichord) is my favourite instrument e.g. Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Schubert, Scriabin and others.
Other than that I have my usual playlist of various alt rock/metal and industrial tracks. Though I have to say I despise the current surge in popularity of ska, not that I dislike ska just that dickheads with no taste jump on the bandwagon and start raving about it which pisses me off... ska hasn't just been invented you know guys... and for the record, reel big fish are pretty shit from what I've heard of their stuff... just sayin.

I'm a sucker for some In Flames or Soilwork, just can't help it.

I've said this before, and it's a somewhat ethereal explanation, but it's the feeling of power you get from listening to it.

Something about it just has weight.

Been listening to a lot of classic film scores recently. John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith, that sort of thing. It's the closest true genetic line, so to speak, to the fallen days of civilization.

I hear ya there, mate. Not necessarily a fan of classical music myself. It's good ,requires talent and pleasant on the ears....but it's not something i'd stick on my iPod

I love classical music to relax, but for workout music I tend to prefer modern orchestral/instrumental (Bill Conti's Rocky themes, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, most of the stuff from APM that NFL Films uses, and ESPN's NFL Primetime music lineup.)

Example:

 

[WinterOrbit]

Lots of Mountain Goats lately. Easily the best storyteller in music I've heard. He can go from describing a bitter, failing marriage


to cheering on all the high school metal bands in small towns.


Incidentally, I'd like to get Tallahassee, but I've heard that there's a great booklet I'd be missing out on if I got the album through iTunes. Thoughts, Escapists?

Not bad. I'd take the Metal Gear Solid theme over that any day for workout music though =P

At the moment nothing, I'm skipping between artists, songs and genres on an hourly basis. Today I listened to a lot of Bowling For Soup, but a lot is just relative the inconsistancy of my choice of music. Frank Sinatra has made an appearance.

The longest running "music obsession" was with Fall Out Boy, I spent months listening to almost nothing but Folie A Deux and Infinity on High, and From Under The Corktree defined my high school career. Other artists that have seen high frequency of play in the past range from Eminem (a solid couple of months), Michael Jackson, The Beatles (arguably my favourite band of all time, but even they didn't enjoy such a concentrated play extravaganza as FOB did), The Used, Silversun Pickups, The Hush Sound, Frank Sinatra, Lamb of God, System of a Down, We Butter The Bread With Butter, Marilyn Manson, Rammstein, and that's all I can think of right now. They all enjoyed LONG periods of repeated consistant play without variation.

Now though, nothing.

I was like that for a while until I had that Powerman 5000 urge.

For the past few days I've been on a Rammstein spree. I just can't get enough of 'em!
That and my collection of Ozzy Osbourne and Godsmack.
