What's your favorite music?
Which one do you think suit better your personality?
Which one represent better Wall Street/Banking/Investments job?
This must be the place of talking heads give me the boost, for example.

 

Jay-z Reasonable Doubt, IMO the greatest rap album of all time. Lyrics, instrumentals and so much bravado it will make you feel like you're in the back of a chauffeured black Maybach.

You think I can be the MVP without practicing? -Allen Iverson

re: Huey. Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.

 

It's mostly EDM for me -- Audien, Arty, Madeon, and Porter Robinson are the artists that I listen to the most nowadays. I'm also getting into electro-swing. It's basically just swing music that's been given a 21st century sound and it puts me in a good mood. I'll listen to anything by Parov Stelar or Caravan Palace.

 

lol completely disagree. DAMN isn't even as good as To Pimp a Butterfly or Good Kid, Maad City not to speak of top 5 all-time.

p.s. I will say Kendrick's current streak of GKMC -> TPAB -> DAMN might be the most impressive first three albums of any single rapper ever (Outkast's southernplayalistic -> ATLiens -> Aquemini is just as impressive)

I like tons of music, but when things are moving 1000000000 miles an hour at work and I can't afford to lose focus thinking about some catchy hook, it's classical or jazz all the way.

Something musically gifted to stimulate creativity, but meandering and non-repetitious enough that I don't get distracted. Makes great background music.

Rock: Red Hot Chili Peppers, Foals Heavy Metal: Metallica Metalcore: August Burns Red, Motionless in White, Bring me the Horizon, Architects, etc. Melodic Death Metal: Insomnium, Kalmah, Dark Tranquility, At the Gates, anything scandinavian really... (funny how they're supposed to be the happiest people on heart) Classical/Choir: Beethoven, JS Bach, Mozart, Debussy, Fauré, Mahler, Vivaldi, Purcell, etc. Electro: Cubicolor, Mazo, Kaytranada, Geoffroy, etc. 80s electro: Miroir, Nightstop, VHS Dreams, Kavinsky, etc. Instrumental: Explosions in the Sky, Rodrigo y Gabriela (best cover of Stairway to Heaven IMO) Hip-Hop, Kendrick Lamar, Beastie Boys, A$AP Ferg, Snoop Dogg (only his first album Doggystyle which was a true masterpiece), Ice Cube, NWA, etc.

 

Lifestylez ov da Poor & Dangerous pretty much summarizes Southside Chicago right now. I never was a big fan of Technique, too obsessed with being lyrical/ his message and not obsessed enough with making good music.

I tend to agree with your criticism of Tech. His music is not something you can just throw on and enjoy. But he does have a massive amount of talent. His word play is top 10 arguably top 5; and despite his redundant/depressing message his content suggest a level of understanding, knowledge, intelligence, and sophistication lacked by the majority of other artists.

 

Mostly techno, also listen to a good deal of trance and house. Outside of that there are a few non-electronic bands I like like Neutral Milk Hotel, American Football, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, and old Weezer. But 99% is electronic because I DJ a lot and produce a little.

I keep pornographic audio recordings on at all times. Except when I walk into the bathroom to take a shit then its Power by Kanye. Rachel Black when I am in a funk.

If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses - Henry Ford
 

This:

And on a more serious note, I like to mix it up quite a bit depending on mood. Some favourites: Rap/Hip-hop: Jedi Mind Tricks, Jay-Z Blues: Jonny Lang, B.B. King, Clapton Rock: Springsteen, Pearl Jam, Coldplay, The Killers, Kings of Leon "Metal": Metallica, In Flames Classical: Mozart and Chopin

I listen to all types of music outside the office. When I'm at work, it's usually the "Groove Salad" station on SomaFM.

I had the desk rocking out to The Beach Boys most of the day. I pretty much like oldies, jimmy buffet, classic rock, country. Cant forget random awesome songs like survivor, dont stop believing, highway to the dangerzone, pour some sugar on me. Pretty much any song can be played at excessively high voulumes to pump everyone in the vicinity up.

Follow the shit your fellow monkeys say @shitWSOsays Life is hard, it's even harder when you're stupid - John Wayne
 

I was listening to a lot of trap and dubstep until Waka Focka's new mixtape came out, which sent me into a rap binge with a lot of Waka, Chief Keef, Gucci, and even Crime Mob, but now I've been listing to A Perfect Circle, Nine Inch Nails, and Manson a lot. For some reason I have Bob Dylan's entire discography in flac on my hard drive, so I guess I'll listen to that at some point.

 

Pink Floyd - their Pulse album is probably my favorite The Doors Black Sabbath Blue Oyster Cult Bob Marley Boston Cream of Clapton CCR Dire Straits Judas Priest Lynyrd Skynyrd Motley Crue Quiet Riot Scorpions Tom Petty Twisted Sister Van Halen The Who

...the list goes on

Throw up Heat's cover of Stairway, probably one of the best covers I've ever seen of any song.

I'm a sophomore in college and can't stand listening to all this garbage out here today; glad to see someone else on here with the same musical interests. Pretty hard to find people who are interested in classic rock these days unless they grew up in that period.

 
Waymon3x6:
Judas Priest

LOL. I discovered Judas Priest when I sped away from campus police on the way home to the tune of "Breaking the Law." Felt so badass.

That's my next PF album, and I'll probably follow it up with Van Halen, The Doors and Black Sabbath. I need to check out Bob Marley too, my buddy's been talking about his stuff for years now. Awesome list.

If you haven't yet, go check out Metallica's early material. I literally can not take it off repeat right now.

Enjoy!

SirTradesaLot:
Lots of good ones mentioned so far. I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Smashing Pumpkins -- Siamese Dream yet. One of the all-time great albums.

While you're at it, throw in Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, Pisces Iscariot & Machina: The Machines of God in there. Hell, throw the whole discography in there save for most of the new stuff. The new record is very good though.

 

King Crimson: In the Court of the Crimson King, Red, Larks Tongue in Aspic, Starless and Bible Black. Cynic: Focus, Traced In Air Mastodon: Crack The Skye, Call of the Mastodon, Leviathan Opeth: Damnation. Deliverance, Blackwater Park, Mars Volta: Deloused in the Comatorium, Frances The Mute, Amputechture At The Drive-in: Relationship of Command, Acrobatic Tenement,

The moment AC/DC bursts into the scene. With introduction by Steven Tyler and Ted Nugent! It doesn't get any better than this!

Every time I sing this song on stage it brings down the house.

Too late for second-guessing Too late to go back to sleep.
 

Oh, forgot to mention Death Cab for Cutie and Postal Service

FinancialNoviceII:
If you're mentioning Deathcab, I'm surprised no one has mentioned Arcade Fire. Not strictly 'rock' but hey what other act in recent memory can claim three successive great albums?

I like Arcade Fire, I'm just not as big a fan of theirs
