to name a few. I mostly like stuff that has a good beat, but I also like some songs for the lyrics. I’m not sure what genres I like, but I know that I don’t like Jazz or Opera at all. If you people know what genres the top 5 in my list would come under could you say?

I like all sorts of songs for example songs from musicals (And all that Jazz, Summer Loving, Hey Big Spender) football songs (Hail Hail, You’ll Never walk alone) and Chart/Ex-chart songs from '60s to now (Sk8ter Boi, Uptown girl and some Beatles and Abba) I like songs that make you think (Hotel California).
I dislike a lot of songs too. I don’t like Classical music because I don’t understand it, some football songs (such as Simply The Best, a lie within song form sung by Rangers fans 
) and I also dislike heavy metal because I don’t understand the purposes of the songs - the lyrics are sung very loudly) and sometimes they make my headache worse if I have one 
.
I don’t like songs that are written to shock but I don’t mind it if they’re written for another purpose but do shock, for example political songs (I only like political songs if they are within keeping of my own politics, this may be narrowminded but it’s true.)
No Bowie aficionados? I am astonied! Bowie was something of a philosophizer (not exactly a philosopher, if you understand the nuance) in the seventies. There are allusions to Nietzsche, Kahlil Gibran and Kierkegaard in his early music. I’ve even written a Hegelian interpretation of one of his albums. I implore you all to purchase his early work.
Now, on with the list:
- David Bowie- The Width of a Circle
- David Bowie- The Supermen
- David Bowie- Five Years
- David Bowie- Sweet Thing/Candidate/Sweet Thing (reprise)
- David Bowie- Big Brother/Chant of the Ever Circling Skeletal Family
- David Bowie- Lady Grinning Soul
…Bowie ad infinitum… - Brian Eno- Golden Hours
King Crimson- Islands - Lou Reed- Last Great American Whale
- The Beatles- Yer Blues
- Nick Drake- Five Leaves Left
- Elvis Costello- Shot With His Own Gun
- The Clash- Guns on the Roof
- Pulp- Countdown
- The Who- Quadrophenia (The entire album)
- Peter Gabriel- Intruder
- Talking Heads- Don’t Worry About the Government
…Talking Heads ad infinitum… - Brian Eno- Burning Airlines Give You So Much More
- The Beatles- The Fool on the Hill
- Steely Dan- Bodhisattva
- Kraftwerk- The Robots
- Ultravox- Vienna
- Iggy Pop- Mass Production
- Televison- Torn Curtain
- David Byrne- What a Day That Was
…

ooohhh…portishead. they were the first CD that i bought (dummy). props for liking them!
Buying CDs? As in CDs recordings on them? Isn’t that a bit passé?
On topic: Something by Godflesh. Dunno what though.
what? no COLDPLAY ??
and it was all Yellow …
i cant list songs… ill have to name bands.
first i have to admit that i listen to commercial hiphop and rap all the time. and i also like classical music (romantic period) so anyway, i like MUSE, placebo, red hot chilli peppers, tori amos, prodigy, alanis morisette. and my all time favourite, german industrial band - das ich. all must check them out okay? dont be fooled by the way they look, the music is good.
Ohhh, you should check out Therion, Pocky. Good German metal chamber pseudo operatic music.
I’m glad to hear SOMEONE out there likes MUSE other than just little ol me. Everyone else generally turns their nose up at them.
You should also check out Zeromancer!! Oh em gee. Their new album is soooo different from their older stuff. It’s more U2-ish and less Orgy-ish. It’s really good. But, hey, I like their visual rock period, too.
The greatest song of all time has got to be Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody! Its got everything, humour, emotion, rock!, classical, depth and much more. Nothing can beat this song
Have you tried Flesh Field? Excellent EBM with female vocals. And I have to second Tori Amos.
why noone 's mentioned HIM - Join Me?
or Cradle of Filth - Her Ghost In the Fog?
or Depeche Mode - Black Celebration?
Sex Dwarf - Soft Cell
Kings of the Carnival Creation, Chaos Without Prophecy, Broderskapets Ring, Stormblast, Guds Fortapelse, Puritania, Moonchild Domain, Behind the Curtains of Night - Phantasmagoria - Dimmu Borgir [Well, practically anything from them.]
Mother North - Satyricon
Wintry Grey, Du Nordavind, The Chaos Path, Of Nails and Sinners, Alone - Arcturus
Banner of Blasphemy - Agathodaimon
Needled 24/7, Downfall - Children of Bodom
Haloes, Romeo’s Distress, Spiritual Cramp - Christian Death
Beautiful music, eh?
Jimi Hendrix’s cover of “Like a Rolling Stone” at the Monterey concert.
Runs cold chills through me everytime.
We are the champions - Queen
