[gamelan]

jazz, indie, and electronica makeup a good 90-95% of what's on my iPod i would imagine.

then there's little groups of metal, country, pop, oldies (rock and R&B from the 50s to the 80s...wow, i just called the 80s "oldies"), classical, and experimental music.

My iPod looks like 75% of Get Smart's, sounds like, only I bet mine has more R. Kelly and Steely Dan.

I think I remember some folks posting images of their iTunes while back, I remember being amazed. I like music, but I don't think I could hold a candle to their libraries--had to be some combo of G_S, Brian SD, Ken, maybe jonglover? I'm up to a few weeks of music...

And JetBlast, there is a Music thread on styleforum, it's just in the Entertainment subforum.

[life_interrupts]

I've got like 5,000 songs on my iPod, not including podcasts of new music from Audiofile and Better Propoganda.

A few themes emerge upon closer inspection:

• 90s hip hop
  
  
• 90s alternative soul (I classify this broadly: from Erykah Badu to Ben Harper)
  
  
• Late 90s-00s ambient music (St. Germain, Labwaste, Rysoop)
  
  
• Zepplin-inspired rock (Audioslave, Queens of the Stone Age, Living Coulor, and of course Led Zepplin)
  
  
• Alternative (TV on the Radio, Handsome Boy Modeling School, Fishbone)
  
  
• Punk and punk-inspired rock (Green Day, Clash)
  
  
• Jazz (late 50s-late 60s, 90s-00s; Miles, Oliver Nelson, the Marsalis clan, Madeline Peyroux, Charlie Hunter)
  
  Plus some good old R&B (Sam Cooke, Prince, Michael Jackson, Van Hunt) and pop tunes (Beatles, Gnarls Barkley, Joni Mitchell).

 

[skalogre]

5-6k tracks on my Toshiba S60, (some my wife's stuff for when we are travelling and she decides to listen to something of hers). Err... where do I start?

Drum & bass (and sub genres)
IDM
Old skool rave (Baby D & Prodigy through the more obscure stuff - 'ardkore

!)
Jungle
Dancehall
Some dub
Industrial (TG et.c. stuff, the original)
Futurepop
EBM (Front 242 are deities incarnate)
Experimental/weird stuff I cannot categorise
Synthpop (modern definition)
Trance
Hardcore/Gabba
Techno
Some house
Greek hiphop
Greek rock
Greek electro/d&b (think Stereo Nova)
Doom metal
Black metal
Metal (more interesting stuff like Chaos AD/Roots era Sepultura, Fear Factory - no "traditional" metal, NWOBHM or thrash crap)
Coldwave (not the band, the genre)
Jazz
Punk (mostly my wife's although I am fond of Bad Religion)
Powernoise (Terrorfakt et.c.)
Noise
Goth rock (mostly my wife's but none of the cheesy **** - HIM or Switchblade Symphony are acceptable, London After Midnight is NOT acceptable)
What would Kronos Quartet and Varese be (separately) classified as?
Miscellaneous symphonies and "classical" works (I hate that term)
Miscellaneous pop from various sources (and countries).
Some electronic j-rock.
There must be more crap I cannot think of.

The new Berzerker album just leaked on bittorrent

Skalogre -- glad to see someone else is into doom and black metal. Have you heard the new album from Funeral? Very very very awesome.

To be honest my brother and wife are more in tune to that stuff, I am more of a selective listener (one of my favourite albums is The Silent Enigma, if that tells you anything

- I don't buy that stuff often) . Have not heard the new Funeral album. On the other hand, my wife has been raving about Shape of Despair, I am waiting for one of their albums (for some reason I am blanking out on the name) to be delivered from Amazon.com

Nice -- I'm not that big a fan of Anathema, but I'll see if I can pick up The Silent Enigma to give it a try.

If you want to score brownie points with your wife, and she likes doom with cookie-monster vocals, recommend this relatively new Portugese band called Process of Guilt. Their new record Renounce is a masterpiece. You can hear a sample song here (warning direct link to a LOUD mp3): http://www.aversionline.com/blahg/audio/procren1.mp3
