Wow. So after coming back to the forums after quite a long break, I did a search looking for music tastes on the forums. Apparently I had the same idea three years ago!

So what type of music do you like to listen to, preferably while riding. Maybe a little discussion this time...

motherfuc|<ing Dragonforce!!!

I don't listen all the time while riding.

But in general...(copied and pasted from MySpace)

I listen to classic rock, 80's, oldies, reggae, jazz, blues...anything but rap. My favorite band is Bela Fleck and the Flecktones - brownie points if you know who they are! I can't stand Star 98.7 - not as much because of the (largely crappy) music, but moreso because of their uber-annoying, super-shallow radio personalities. But they DO offer us Totally 80's weekends, so I guess that balances out. =D Some other musicians/bands of interest, in NO particular order, are: Toad the Wet Sprocket, Cake, Crowded House, Steel Pulse, Dean Martin, Fleetwood Mac, Bruce Springsteen, Van Halen, Rush, AC/DC, Frank Sinatra, They Might Be Giants, The Police, Dave Brubeck, Bob Marley, The Eagles, Duke Ellington, Jamiroquai, Queensryche, Faith No More, Tony Bennett, Louis Armstrong, Crash Test Dummies, Count Basie, John Coltrane, The Cars, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, Stan Getz, Huey Lewis, The Scorpions, Phil Collins, Greenday, Dexter Gordon, Ratt, Def Leppard, Thelonius Monk, Herbie Hancock, Beethoven, Gershwin, Liszt...and anything and everything in between.

I think Joe Jackson is an brilliant song writer.
He is punk without being to harsh. Another couple of my favorites of the list that just stand out in my mind is Generation X/Billy Idol
and Big Audio dynamite/Clash.
Both should be easily recognizable from anyone on here.
Not all punk= head acne. It's just not really really lame I think that is why I like it.

I also like Madness, The Jam and Mighty Mighty Bostones and some older classic mod ska music.

[slowSSer]

anything but rap and country.

[chauvinist_youth]

basically everything that jason had, but I'd add Blood for Blood, Kids Like Us, and Badlands (the dutch oi band, not the crap 80's metal one).
