    Did you ever listen the songs "Aces High" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZO6giM9UAv0) and "Tailgunner" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbMGXXrF7ac) by Iron Maiden?

    I like very much rock, soul and pop.

    Classic Rock, 80s, even some Hair Band... and when I am working on my hobbies I like John Williams, James Horner, Michael Giacchino etc - Movie Scores...

    Note that I was raised by two hillbilly parents (I mean that as a compliment), and was thus raised on Country Music. I rebeled against that in my high school years and turned to Rock. However I did end up working as the MC/DJ/Assistant Manager of a very large country Night Club in Central Ohio from 1993-2004. The "Cowman" name has its roots there. You could say I turned to the dark side for a while... and now and then I have a small relapse... shhhh... don't tell anyone!

    I like the classical or movie themes when playing war games, it kinda puts things into '"epic" proportions! You know, like "a cast of thousands!" Really puts you in the mood for either a cavalry charge or a bombing run, or what ever your playing. Crazy huh?

    My personal music tastes are incredibly eclectic, from Black Metal, to Classical, to 70's Krautrock, to Dark Ambient, to Medieval, to folk, to electro, to rock (and/or roll), to disco, to Heavy Metal, to hip hop and rap, to Elvis and of course Johnny Cash. I am no fan of Jazz though, it's the one music genre I can't abide, mainly due to being brought up with it continually on in the background.

    As I generally play at my opponents house the music choice is his, so it ranges from bleepy electronica to Tom Waits, to Hawkwind to Monster Magnet (last week).

  13. #13

    Default

    Western, Bluegrass, Country (classic though, can't stand most modern 'country').

    I also enjoy some classic rock (50s and 60s mostly, but a few things here and there that are newer), plus some classic (when in the UK that's all I listen to, as the rest of the radio is pop rubbish).

  14. #14

    Default

    Trance. Electronica all the way. Deadmau5 is a favourite.

  15. #15

    Default

    All sorts from 60's rock to 70's punk Heavy. Metal of all kinds some jazz and 80's new wave like Depeche Mode. then there's always ...GWAR !!!

    I love classic rock. Just seems they put more thought and effort into the musical composition back in the 70's and 80's.

    I also love progressive rock with bands like RUSH (my favorite) and Dream Theater.

    Well the tin ear doesn't help and these days I seem to listen mostly to audiobooks or my Kids' music but I like most things in moderation.

    Metallica to Mozart and Bix Beiderbecke to Folk (Up to the point where they adopt a nasal tone and think a song with 20 verses is twice as good as a song with ten.

    Classical and "Other"--most of my Buttkicking Mix is various film-scores, aside from MC Hawking's "Quake Master Mix"--it's Nerdcore, think "Stephen Hawking as brainiac gangsta-rapper". Not for play when kids are around, but if you ever played Quake III Arena in multiplayer you'll get most of it...

    dammit I ticked all four boxes!!

    Beebop Jazz, can't beat spot of Mingus. Anything with distorted guitars unless it comes from Manchester! Beethoven, opera, films scores (13th warrior is a fave) Marley, Zappa....

    Generally not the dancey stuff or rap, talk about mood altering, rap makes me crabby so I can't listen to too much Henry Rollins!!

    Dave.

    Old Joke--- I like both types---Country & Western!
    Well I do like C & W but also Classical & Ambient with a glass or two of Red (or White) !

    Incidently not sure how many of you have heard Garth Brooks version of "Belleau Wood" about the Christmas Truce.
    If memory serves me it was on his "Sevens" Album some years back & was excellent.

    Neo-prog
    Psychedelic rock
    Music in the dialect of my hometown (Cologne, Germany)

    Anyone who has had a peek at my Ipod or my desktop hard drive would describe my tastes as "eclectic" (or maybe just wierd). I like just about anything as long as it doesn't give me too much of a headache.

    Except Bieber, of course

    All of the above and then some. Very eclectic tastes...Punk to Classical, Country to Rap/Hip Hop.

    What, you don't remember the cadence from Full Metal Jacket? It's a "Gunny Remix" of that from R. Lee Ermey's website...
